ELIMINATE THIS WEED.
Wild Parsnip Most Dangerous of ALI
Says John Frakes.

The wild parsnip is the latest for
ager of Oregon crops, according to
authentic advice furnished The OBJ
server by John Frakes who took an
Observer representative around the
corner of the county Jail Saturday and
showed him variety of the dangerous
weed. He said that near Salem he
saw large field of this thievish stuff
which had driven every other vege-
tation from the face of the earth. 1t
seems there are three varieties Of the
wild parsnip, one being known as the
Oregon variety. This carries a pretty
white blossom and ripens with myri-
ads of seeds. Mr.. Frakes is of the
opinion that there is but one way of
destroying this plant and that is to
refuse to allow it to go to seed The
other two parsnip plants have not been
brought to the notice of The Observer
reporter, but it is said they are not
so dangerous as the one with the
pretty white flower and the thousands
of dangerous seeds.

A case of general Importance to all

Immediately thereafter the family

provides that mothers of dependent
minor children whose husbands are

fused to make the allowance.

DALLAS LOSES SCALP
FINAL POLK-YAMHILL CONTEST
GOES TO SHERIDAN.
Espee Special Train Carries More
Than One Hundred County Seat
Fans to Witness Downfall.

Fans and fanettes of Dallas and vi
cinity, $50 strong saw the brainstorm
ers of Sheridan win the fifth and fnaI
game of the Polk -Yamhill series of the
national game on Sunday at Sheridan
in a wobbly-bobbly contest, the Dal-
lasites being clearly outclassed at ev-
cry position. Mr.. Tuerck of the state
university contributed to the slaught-
er, being ably assisted at times with
few things enumerated as bonehead-
ers, excusable errors and a few other
things that sometimes occur when the
moon reaches the equinoctial parabola
as it were. The score, oh, yes:

Mr.. Foster, a youth, kept the colm-
ty seat wielders of the willow
down to bare three hits.
Mr.. Fenton stretched one of these
into home run at the finish Of the
game, merely 10 save the reputation
of the county seaters. The teams
were made up from the two sister cit
les and what had been left over from
lDe COdoI lcdSuc, lne Hdtlolalo anu
fedcrals and the little town on the
hanks of the Yamhill creek were treat
ed to a taste of good, clean ball.
There were numerous little bubbles
that abound among those of the un-
sophisticated regarding the selection
of an umpire and the game, as a re-
suit, began at late hour. However,
the thousand people who witnessed
the contest were patient and under
went the ordeal with fortitude. 1t
has been intimated that some Dallas
"dough' was left at Sheridan. Be
that as it may, the team work on both
sides was good and as good as is
generally seen in baseball of the
league style.
The Southern Pacific railway com
pany kindly loaned the fans a special
train for the journey and did every
thing possible for the comfort and
convenience of about 100. Others
went by auto.
Next Sunday Dallas will meet the
Falls City boys in return game at
the latter place and it is expected
that large crowd will go to that
place from Dallas and enjoy the hos
pitality of the sister city. The Dallas
team will be made up entirely of home
players, says the management, and it
will be an outing worth while.

STANDARD RULES READY.
REGULATIONS WILL BE FOR
WARDED TO SCHOOLS.
State Superintendent Churchill Ex-
poets Notable Improvement to
Result in Educational Way.

Rules for the standardization Of
the rural and village schools of the
state will be mailed to the Count,
Superintendents this week by State
Superintendent of Public instruction
Churchill. The rules were adopted
at recent meeting Of County School
Superitnendents held in Salem.
Rules will be posted in all school
rooms and when all requirements have
been met certificates will be provided
by the state department. 1t is be-
lieved that the plan will result in Ore
gon not only having the most sani-
tary schools of any state, but will
make the school leaders from an edu-
cational standpoint.
Mr.. Churchill announced his plan of
standardization at a meeting of the
State Teachers association in Salem
last December and committee draft
ed set of rules. Oregon was one of
the pioneer states in standardizing
schools in districts of the second and
third classes, much progress along
that line having been made in Coos,
Polk, Marion, Linn, Lane, Douglas,
Jackson, Klamath, Umatilla and Yam
hill counties. Almost all schools in
those counties have been improved,
although majority have not obtained
all points necessary to be standard
lied. Teachers, pupils, school boards

ter equipment.
The most important rule relates to
sanitation and Mr.. Churchill is deter
mined that it be enforced if possible.
He believes it will save the lives of
many pupils and will make for effic-
iency by conserving the health of the
pupils.
