The Lost Boys.

Once upon time two little boys came to 8 wood after wandering all day. At first they didn't know what to do. After a while one of them, whose name was Frank, said:
 tLet us build a fire and get warm. p

 After a long time Frank said: Let us get some supper"
 But. alas! They had no food with them. and they began to cry By and by they cried themselves to sleep.

The Ship of the pesert.

Dear Uncle Jed; The camel is known as the ship of the desert because it carries everything that is needed there. This animal is used because it can stand the hot sand and wind and can go a long time without water. The. people who own these camels drink their milk and 1t Is very nutri- tious. The young flesh has the taste of veal. The long hair which falls from the camels is manufactured into garments. The Arabs tents are also made out of it.
 Alive or dead, almost every part of the camel is useful to man.

People sometimes tell the home

merchant can not float that kind OF
goods. They come back to his store
too easily.
II Is amusing to see the bother
people will take for trifling sums they
think they are saving. They will
travel many miles. spend street car
fares, pay for luncheons, hotel bills,
and tips. They get tired and foot
sore. tramping around overgrown
stores separated by long distances.
They walt for change carry bundles,
and pay express. They pay a high
price In money and energy for sup
posed economics.
When you buy goods away from
home you rarely take them back.
The bother and expense looks pro-
hihitive. When you buy at home you
would return them II dissatisfied.

THE TAXPAYERS TO
BLAME FOR HIGH TAXES.

(From Wood River Times)
The taxpayers have only themselves
to blame for high taxes.
Though they complain they keep on
voting for them az every opportuni-
Is.
They also urge their officials % add

There Il a case IN point In HALEY.

perintendent OF the HALEY public

tees Tor az least one additional teach

His reason Is that the present stan
Is not sufficiently numerous to teach

Of pupilsl
The average attendance is less than

IL would seem that teacher should
be able TO take care OF 80 pupils
II Is true that two rooms are over
crowded. Miss Mills having 30 and
Miss rhullen over so pupils
But this could be easily remedied
by increasing the number Ia some OF
