AMERICAN STEAMER
HAS VERY CLOSE CALL

Page, Pago. American Samoa, Aug 6.
--(Via San Francisco, Aug. 2D.-The
U. S. S. Princeton is lying on the
beach here, with a hole in her bottom
four feet across. A brief announce
mept that she struck an unchartered
rock on July IL, while on survey duty,
already has been given out by the navy
department in Washington.
Nothing but, the highes. sense of
duty and instant response to discip-
line, from the officers on the bridge
to the firemen in the stoke hold, saved
the vessel from becoming a total loss,
with perhaps a long list of deaths by
drowning.
The commandant Of the naval sta
ton here is hopeful of raising the
Princeton without help from the main
land, as soon as he can get the pumps
he has requisitioned. A great jagged
tooth Of rock is still embedded in the
vessels bottom. Lieutenant G. A.
BeallG<n command thinks it acted as a
partial plug and retarded the thrush of
the waters while the Princeton was
filing.

100000 bushels under last year.
Strength of northwestern markets

THE SERVICE OF THE TEACHERS.

The public schol teachers are con- cluding their work, and are now sup posed to be care-free until Septeu Ter. There is a popular impression that this long vacation makes their job a soft one. But many of them spend the vacation helping Motne: in the kitchen, aad in most cases their summers are apt to be labCr- ious. k.txk
 The parents turn over their cnil- dren much as they would check their babies at a day nursery. It gets them out of the way, leaving Mother free to go to the bridge party. The par ents can only partly control their own little flocks. Yet they expect teacher to take 40 of these unsub- iugated little wills, reduce them te all ordinary discipline, keep them sunshiny and working, ana turn them cut equipped. with the fundamentals Of daily life.
 At home the crosse grained Habits of children are excused on the ground that they are nervous, @f that they inherited these traits and are not to blame for them. When the teacher undertakes to reduce the youngsters to order, the children are irritated a. ui familiar restraints. If a $1o a week te&cher does not display the diplomacy and self-control expected frop6 a 5000 executive, the parents petition for her removal.
 In large towns the teacher lives all isolated life. Low salaries keep hei moving from place to place. Socla success is matter of give and take and as she has no favors to offer, hel l engagements are apt to be limited to church socials.
 The blooming girl who enters tht school room at 20 frequently comes cut at 30 with a thin, pale, drawl I face. But nevertheless the schoo
 room is a place of good cheer. Int I songs of the children, flowers, pic

TALKS ON THRIFT. WHY GIRLS SHOULD LEARN TO

"The young woman who knows

 Three billion dollars is the estimat- ed amount spent annually for the up- keep of the ten million or more homes in the United States.
 Most of this money is expended by women or girls.
 Does not this show the great inn portance of training young women in the value and use of money?
 Some time ago prominent house. hold magazine asked 500 bachelors why they did not marry and settle down. Most of these men replied that the average marriiageable young wo- man nowadays is too expensive lux uray. Many asserted that young wo- men of today are money squanderers rather than the material out of which thrifty heipmeets are made.

 | The word morals is used advisedly | because true view of economic life requires that every expenditure be- garded as an act that involves moral question, for aan unnecessary and un' wise expenditure is misuse of the power of money.
