was up and down the country from
Dunlap's ranch to Bonita, and made
many observations. The summer
rains have treated that section like
they have this one-only came in
spots, which leaves the country in
very peculiar condition.
The people are thrifty and hospi-
table and most of them are laying
by some clear money on their cattle
or goats, as the case may be, for
nearly all of them are either cowmen
or else own some goats.

the assistance of the Live Stock In

party for horse stealing; gave him
hearing before the justice of the
peace, who held him under $500

We also have another strong
case of cow stealing against another
party, which will be investigated by

Ev'ry soul for whom He was slain;
While their souls, love-lit adorning,
Shall feel no more sorrow or fear,
For the bright "Star of the Morning
Has forever banished all tears.
"Just Over the Way" all is brightness,
All hearts are filled with delight;
There are no cares; for all is lightness,
For sin has forever taken flight
From the land, where all is supernal,
And always they will bask in sweet

While beauty all bright and vernal,
Forever flows in from above.

In the glory-land of the Morrow,
Giving praise to the Lamb who was

FACING THE CRISIS

Gentlemen, we must retrench. y
The president of the great railroad
faced the board of directors. Every
face there blanched at the thought.
Yes" he continued, something
must be done to maintain our repu-
tation for integrity and for that
sound and conservative business
policy which has been one of our
distinguishing traits. For, | regret
to say, the interstate commerce com.
mission does not understand or ap-
preciate our condition. The cost of
living has increased so much that,
alas! | fear disaster, in view of the
fact that we are not permitted to
raise our rates. Gentlemen, some-
thing must be DONE"
All eyes were turned to the speak
er. At last with a voice that trem-
bled with emotion, one of the di-
rectors leaned forward.
What can you suggest" he whis-
pered hoarSely.
i fear the worst. We must cut
our dividends.
A deathly silence ensued. 1t was
felt that the fate of several steam
yachts was in the balance. Every
man there instantly realized what
it would mean.
Can nothing else be done?"
Nothing"
Another director leaned forward.
Gentlemen" he whispered, let
US defer this until, say. day after to-
morrow, This will give us time to
sell out our holdings at the present
prices and buy them back very much
lower after this dreadful news has
passed out"

THE MODERN HEROINE
Telephone Operator Saves Lives
of Many People

From every quarter of the west
come reports that the modern heroine
is the telephone operator. Near
Denver, a few days ago, the ex-
change operator saved the lives of
half the people in a township by
staying at her post of duty at immi
nent risk of her life. A cloud burst
swept down from the hills and the
st. Vrain river was sweled from a
measly little stream to a foaming
torrent in the brief space of half
hour. The Mountain States Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company's ex.
change connected practically all the
inhabitants of the community with
the telephone exchange from which
the subscribers received warning of
the rush of waters. The exchange
operator, Miss Barbara Reinkens,
being a true western girl, called up
a half score cowboys, whom she
knew would risk their necks for her,
and sent them scurrying like modern
Paul Reveres into the byways to
warn all who could not be reached
by telephone. Thus does the march
of modern chivalry keep pace with
the wonder working telephone.
Thirty years ago the telephone
was a toy. Today more than three
thousand young women in the states
of Montana, Wyoming. Colorado
Idaho, Utah, New Mexico and Ari-
zona, make their living operating
the telephone exchanges for one
company, not to speak of the thou
sand or so others who are employed
in private exchanges. The Noun.
tain States Telephone and Telegraph
Company. which operates in these
states, maintains a training school
for telephone operators ana the Of
ficials of the company say that the
course fitting a telephone operator
for her duties, is equal to the course
OF study in many schools for mental
Improvement. The faculty Of
memory Is very highly trained and
the faculty of attention Is developed
in a telephone operator as in no
other occupation. The operators
also acquire fair knowledge of the
electrical apparatus used in the
telephone circuits and altogether
develop powers of mind far in ad.
vance oft he society young woman,
whose hardest task is figuring up
bridge scores or compiling lists of
fashionable calls.

A MODERN TOWN

SaHOrU is moving diOhS ih thS
direction of modern town in a
way that insures stability and per-
manence that will prove strong
foundation for the future.
In December, 1912, the mountain
water came gushing through the
pipes and the water system became
an assured fact. The supply since
that time has been adequate for all
household as well as business pur-
poses, and from demonstrations
made by the local fire department,
there is no doubt Of the sufficiency
of the water supply or of pressure
during fire in town. Besides this,
the water is good and far superior
to the old well water with its alkaline
taste.
The next improvement in order
to meet the demands of modern
town is the electric light, and this
is now assured, In a few months
Stafford will be lighted by electricity.
The streets at night will be as bright
as in day time and present an ap-
pearance that will be inviting and
attract the people especially along
the business streets, giving our
merchants full opportunity of dis.
playing their goods to the passing
throngs.
There is something of life in the
very thought of this. Well-lighted
streets makes the travel at night
safe. More people will come down
town in the evening and our churches
and theatres will be better patron
lied, and the town will become
changed from sleepy appearance to
live, wideawake hustling place
that is sure to attract attention from
outsiders. At the present time, if
1t were not for the moving picture
theatre and the several business
places that keep open and help light
the main street, our town would,
indeed, be very dull in the evenings.
The coming of the electric light
will brighten our homes and afford
many modern conveniences in the
household that are now practically
impossible. besides being economical
and safe.
The third great need and one
particularly needed for health con-
ditions is sewage system. This
system would be impossible were it
not for the water system. With
flowing water connected up in every
home comes the opportunity to
make the changes that go far to the
making of sanitary town, and
eventually destroy every chance of
spreading disease by contaminated
well water. That much of our pre-
sent i'll health is due to bad sanitary
conditions is apparent to everyone.
Cess pools and outhouses drain into
the wells, carrying the germs of
typhoid and other diseases and there
is no doubt of this. But, with a
good sewage system, all this would
be changed and the very best sani-
tary conditions would prevail.
The cost of sewage system in
Stafford would be repaid by good
health, the best asset that any
human being could have. Don't
you think so?

KEEPING DAIRY HERD
RECORDS IN SCHOOL
Churchill Has Plan Which He Believes
viii Be of Great Value to Rural
Communities.

How many dairy farmers in the state
of Oregon know the cost of keeping
cow for one year, or what it costs to
produce a pound of butter fat9
The dairymen of this state will have
an opportunity to find out, for State
Superintendent Churchill has decided
to inaugurate in the state of Oregon,
in cooperation with the State Agri-
cultural College, record.keeping con.
test in the rural schools. W. A.
Barr, who represents the United States
dairy division and the extension de.
partment of the college, will have di.
rect charge Of this work. The plan
will be to try out the contest thor.
oughly in one county, and when it has
been proved a success to extend the
work into other counties. Mr.. Barr
has chosen Polk county as the most
convenient one in which to begin this
work.
The aim of the work is, first, to
arouse a greater interest in dairying
by learning what the individual COW in
the herd is doing if the dairy is pay
ing, and if not, why mott Second, to
place in the school work that which
will appeal to the pupils in the higher
grades, to give them lesson of the
real. And third to form a connecting
link between the school and the home
Tn this contest both boys and girls
will be allowed to enter who are in
the seventh grade or above, and each
will be required to keep a record on
the herd at home by posting milk and
feed records three times each month
at intervals of ten days each. On the
days for weighing small sample Of

And run to the drug store to empty
your purse,

through sunshine and rain,
You would not have need to take nos

Sometimes in the evening big bonfires
you build.
Then with sweet song and laughter
the air is well filled.
While others, more stern, at "sucf

You call them all kickers and wisl
