A STATE OWNS STEAMSHIPS.

State-owned steamships are a dream

On board was w. D. Johnson. minis

tralia, who explained that as this was
the off season in the cattle carrying
trade, the Kwinana had just taken a
cargo Of jarrah wood to the dominion
to fill up time.
According to Mr.. johnson, the sta
ton holders in the northwest of the
state combined to get a monopoly of
the shipping of stock to Fremantle.
and the government of western! AUS
tralia was compelled to. step In. in the
interests Of the small farmers ana
provide state steamers. The govern

time had been able to get the price
of meat down by. two pence 9 pound

SUMNER SCHOOL
SESSION BEGINS
No Students Will be Receiv.
ed After Tomorrow-New
Principal May Preside.

With forty students enrolled. the
summer session of the local schools
opened this morning. The school was
authorized by the board to give the
delinquent students an opportunity to
make up their subjects, preparatory
to taking advanced studies next year.
The session will continue for four
weeks. After the assignment Of work
this morning. classes Were adjourned
until tomorrow when the regular stud
les will begin. =.
Owing to the fact that the term is
so short. all students who contem-
plate attending the summer session
Will have to register tomorrow. Super
intendent Wolfe announced this after
noon that no students would be re-
ceived after tomorrow. as the term
was too short to permit taking them
In after that. The term was planned
to give Just enough time to complete
the delinquent subjects, and this cam
not be done in less than tour weeks,
he declares.
Miss Daisy Kranz. who is to have
charge of the grammar grade work. is
in the city, and will begin hearing
her classes tomorrow.
Mr.. Wolfe has been endeavoring to
secure Guy Goddard, the new principal
for next year, to take charge Of the
high school work during the summer
term. but no definite word has been
received yet. 1t is believed. however,
that Mr.. Goddard will be here at once
to take charge Of the work. He is now
at Vermillion, S. d.

FLOOD WORK OF THE ARMY.

Agar there has been a denlonstra-
ton of the value Of the military es-
Enlistment in directions other than a
burden upon the people. 1t is not
difficult to imagine the increase in the
calamity of the western floods had il
not been for the prompt availability
Of the reserve supplies Of tentage, ra-
tons and medical and hospital ma
terial rushed to the scene of distress.
The readiness with which an import
ant personnel. trained in the proven
ton of disease. was equal to the emer-
gency cannot fail to impress those in
need Of relief and protection in the
area stricken by flood and fire and
confronted by pestilence.
Recalling other occasions when the
government has been able to render
substantial aid in time Of real and ov.
erwhelming disaster, this latest mani.
festation of the efficiency Of the wal
department and the army should add
to public approval and support Of the
military establishments. Its uses to a
country are not confined to wal or
when war is threatened.

The Columbian stamps Of 1893 were
rather large for use. but they We're
a beautiful set. They rank. next, per-
haps. in attractiveness to the odd and
pretty little square stamps of 1859.
Since the Columbian set our COM
niemorative stamps have almost stead
lily declined in merit. The designers
have invariably made the mistake OF
crowdihg too much detail upon such
tiny bits Of paper. The result has been
q hodge-podge.
The new parcel post stamps are in
teresting. after a fashion, but an ar
fist would find little in them to COM
mend, or even consider.
Our government designers when
next they wish to reproduce a land

THE WORLD,s BEST FAIRY.

One day Micky's mother sent him
out to gather herbs in the wood.
While you're gone" she said, "Il,
cook some good macaroni for din
ner. Come back quickly. But Mickey
stopped out playing in the woods; and
other children had eaten up nearly
all the macaroni. So she put the lit
tie that was left into a basin of broth,
and set it before him. But Micky
was sulky and showed 1t aside, saying
if that was all they had left him for
dinner he wouldn't eat anything at
all.
Then his mother called out to the
Stick in the corner. "Stick. Stick, beat
Micky. Micky won't eat his macaroni."
The Stick paid no heed. So she cried.
Fire, Fire, burn Stick. Stick won't
beat Micky. Micky won't eat his mac

So she cried. Water, Water. quenct
