SUPT. HODGES IDEAS
ARE ALL PROGRESSIVE

MONTESANO, Jan. 2.-In re-
cent circular to the teachers of the
county Supt. Hodge says: 81 wish
to commend the social center work
that is being done in a number of
the districts. All that you do to-
ward the improvement of sanitary
conditions, beautifying the school
grounds, securing playground appar-
atus, building up the library, and
planning successful social gather
ings of the pupils and parents will
raise the tone of your school. The
extent to which you arouse interest
in agriculture, the home and school
garden, home economics, or some
form of industrial work will measure
your success in relating your school
to the life of the community. A
school today that does not attempt
something along these lines is fail.
ure Every teacher should plan to
do some practical work in agricul-
ture. Let us begin now to get ready
fol the county fair.
The state requirements now in
clude agriculture. and even if they
didn't Mr. Hodge is very much in
terested in it, and urging each school
70 have garden and to plan for
home gardens for the pupils. No state
program for the agricultural work
having yet been issued, Mr.. Hodge
will, if one is not received soon. get
up program for this county.

AINSLEY is SENT TO
MONROE REFORMATORY

MONTESANO. Jan. 5.-Robert
Ainsley was sentenced to an indeter-
inmate sentence, with a minimum of
one year in the reformatory at Mon
roe Saturday by Judge Mason Irwin.
Ainsley is the young fellow foun |
guilty of robbing Macks' camp men
of a considerable amount Of money.
He says he is % years old, though
he doesn't look it. He is a pleasant
appearing fellow and has several
good attributes, though there seems
to be no question about his having
taken the money. The money found
on his person and his time checks
were turned back to the men who
were robbed.
Attorney Conway, who defended
the young man put up a good fight
for him, even to trying hard for an
appeal, which probably accounts for
his light sentence.

TO APPROVE NO
MORE OIL LEASES
Senator Jones Makes Inquiry
And Is So Informed By
Indian Commissioner

WASHINGTON, D. c. Jan. 3.
Senator Jones Of Washington has
been taking special pains to inquire
into the status of oil leasing on the
Quiniault reservation and today the
result of his inquiries was made
known in the following statement from
his Office:
IF oil has been discovered on the
Quiniault Indian reservation, the In
dian office does not know anything
about it. Four applications for oil
leases on this reservation have been
allowed by the Indian office and sew
eral of the other applicants had Sen
ator Jones take up the matter with
the commissioner of Indian affairs and
to see whether or not their applica-
tions could not be recOnsidered and
granted.
Commissioner Sells has advised
the senator, however, that he had
decided some time ago not to recon-.
mend for approval any more leases
for Quiniault lands until such time
as it should have been determined
whether oil and gas exist in CONNER
cial quantities. Three inspectors Of
the department have advised against
the approval of any additional leases
at present and the commissioner
thinks this is sufficient ground to JUS
tify his position
Strengthen Pure Food Law
Representative Albert Johnson pur-
poses to strengthen the pure food law
by the addition of the following i'm
portant legislation which is embod-
led in bill that he has introduced
"That the manufacturer, producer,
Gamer or packer of food products
must place upon the label of each
package the name of such manufac-
turer, producer, Gamer or packer,
and the place where such food was
manufactured or packed. Provided,
however, that this shall not preven,
placing upon such label the name OF
the distributor. Penalty for the vio-
lation of this provision shall be i'm
posed in the same manner as that
provided for the violation of other
provisions of this act"
