"Haill Hail! the gangs all herel''
You realize the fact when you go up
against i t on the sidewalk, rushing TO
school in the morning and mobbing
their way back to dinner at noon.
But we are all glad to see them back
again-minus those who have enter
ed broader fields of labor and con-
quest but whose places are taken by
hopeful lot of freshies America
for young Americai Ii "Dick" could
have his way about it, there would
be county" high school in every
county in the state, giving tuition
free to every country boy and girl in
every county. No Getty" high school
ever will or ever can take the place
of a county school for these boys and
girls. And what a difference four
years of high school does make, not
alone in ability and attainment but
also in dress and address, appearance
and department..
"Rufus' is one of the most inter
eSting visitors who comes to Wa-Kee-
ney, and he has been coming here
for the last ten or fifteen years.
Don't know Rufus3 We'll, his other
name is Harporhynchus. Sometimes
it is written Toxostoma Rufum,
partly because of the reddish brown
coat he wears over his speckled vest.
Some people call him the Brown
Thrush, which is mistake
He is brown, alright, but
the latter word should be Thrash
er. Yes, he nests in Wa-Keeney but
spends his winters in the southeast
ern part of the United States If
properly treated the whole family
comes back in the spring. The Brown
Thrasher is first cousin to the Cat
bird and the Mockingbird.

Every stranger who comes to Wa
Keeney comments favorably upon
the fresh, green appearance of the
courthouse park, contrasting it with
the condition of other parks and
lawns seen elsewhere. Judging from
their remarks it must be one of the
greenest spots in all Kansas. Tourists
from as far away as Pennsylvania,
even, are struck with the beauty aud
freshness of the Trego county park
and commend the energy. enterprise
and public, spirit shown in keeping
up this beauty spot, 1t is one of the
two best advertisements the county
has.

Speaking of the water supply, per-
haps you have been reading of the
shortage of water in parts of the
country, how some towns have to
haul water for ordinary use, and how
in some places the water has become
contaminated, spreading such diseases
as typhoid fever etc. Wa-Keeney is
and has been especially fortunate in
this respect. We not only have a
water supply which has been unfail-
ing throughout an unusually long,
hot and very dry season, but the
quality is unsurpassed. Better yet,
the source of supply is almost abso-
lutely proof against contamination.
Count YOUR blessings! Imagine for a
moment, if you can, what the situa-
tion would be if our jumping plant
should suddenly break down and re-
main out of commission two weeks,
or our water supply should be con-
demned as unfit for use!

Washoe Community School.

n The people Of Eastern Oregon and
idaho are alike interested in the new
departure IN educational matters
made by the Washoe district near
Payette, Idaho. The board OF trus-
tees, with the consent OF the patrons
OF the district, have inaugurated a
move which will be watched with con-
siderable interest by those who have
the rural school problem before them.
The patrons of the district voted
bonds to purchase additional land
and to erect community buildlng
which will provide rooms for indua.
trial work, such as domestic science
Tor the girls and manual training for
the boys, also instruction in agrlcul-
aure and horticulture. Living apart-
nients are provided for the instruct
ors so that they will reside on the
grounds and oversee all student act
;yities. .. ..........
The grounds will furnish room for
baseball diamond. school gardens,
lawn and playground. II is the pur-
pee of theypatrons of the school TO
make the grounds attractive and in
this way teach some of the fundiment-
al things In landscape gardening.
The building IL designed to furnish
place for social and public gather
ings. An assembly hall Is provided
which will accommodate one hundred
and fifty people, with u platform large
enough for school entertainments.

THE ADVANCEMENT LAND is of excellent soil
and desirable location it being among the first land
selected in Oregon 1t had never been on the market
until last spring it being for thirty years part of
a large road grant.
TEN ACRES OF FADVANCEMENT LAND, when
put under cultivation, is enough TO support family
and lay by competence. Ten tracts ndmer-
Gus within five miles of Ontario that bring an annual
revenue OF one thousand dollars per acre.

The prices range from one hundred and fifty to two
