Time on Board Ship.

Time in the navy is marked not by
hours, but by bells, just as in the mer-
chant marine. The system of marking
time by bells is very easy to under
stand once it is explained. Every four
hours, 4, and II o'clock, the ships
bell is struck eight times. At the end
Of the first half hour after each four
hour period the bell Is struck once, an
hour afterward twice, and so on till
the four hours are up, after which the
preceding routine is begun over again.
For instance, one bell in the forenoon
is $50 O'Clock, two bells 8 o'clock, three
bells 9:3O o'clock, etc. In the after
noon one bell is 1880 o'clock, four bells
O'clock, etc.

for this. 1t is fair to suppose that
steel and cement for several hundred
bridges can be purchased at a lower
price if purchased under .one con-
tract by the state, than it can be
purchased in small quantities by the
different counties and municipalities.
If there are to BE 100 bridges con-
structed requiring 50-foot> spans. the
steel can be fabricated at one time
by one rolling mill or foundry, and
the work done more economically
and at less price than under the
present system. Is there any good
reason why the cement that enters
into bridge construction should not
be purchased by the state direct
from the manufacturer instead of
the counties and municipalities be-
ing compelled to pay profit on the
same to the manufacturer, the
wholesaler, the local dealer and tic
the contractor who constructs the
bridge?
There is an even more important
reason that may be advanced for the
favorable consideration of this bill.
; From information gathered during
this investigation, we are convinced
} that the most effective competition
!: contractors in the bridge combine
have is the local contractor. These
local contractors are not always able
to secure bridge material. Several
instances have been called to our at.

NEXT GAME Is AT LEBANON.
High School Football Team May Have
Special Train Thursday.

The high school football team goes
up against the Lebanon team on
Thanksgiving day, and it will truly
be Thanksgiving if they come home
with even small slice of the bacon.
On Wednesday the coaches called for
recruits to practice against the regu-
lar team and at the time set full
team of "has beens" was on the
field. Presently two lone regulars
showed up, and half an hour later,
when the volunteer opponents were
gone, the remainder of the high
school team gathered itself together
one by one. So it will not be prac-
tice that wins for Dallas on the Leb-
anon gridiron on Thursday; it will
be pure and simple fight, and from
the splendid exhibition of fight here
last Saturday it is evident that both
Dallas and Lebanon have a reasonable
quantity of that valuable quality. The
lineup in the Turkey day festival will
be nearly the same as that which op-
posed Lebanon here last Saturday, al
though a last minute change may be
made in the backfeld by the coaches.
A number of new plays have been
out by Coaches Rudder and
French, with the assistance Of Mr.
Chenoweth of the high school facul-
ty, and these may be a great help in
turning the tide toward a Dallas vic
tory.
Enough students and townspeople
have said that they would attend the
game at Lebanon that the athletic
of the high school has
chartered a special train to leave
here Thursday morning and return
the same evening Immediately after
the contest. By popular subscription
among the business men enough mon
ey was collected to take the band on
the trip and twenty-five members of
that organization will make pleasant
for the excursionists.
1t is without doubt that the contest
will be well worth seeing and the
boys hope that a large crowd will
make the trip from here

ARE ISSUED
MR.. CHURCHILL WOULD BRING
HOMES AND SCHOOLS NEARER
Suggestions Are Made for Making
Rural Teacher Healthier, Happier
and More Efficient.

A pamphlet for the help of the par
cnt-teacher associations in the rural
and village school and emphasizing
the need of closer association of home
and school, has just been issued by
u. A. Churchill, superintendent of
public instruction. Subjects of ex-
tleme practical value are suggested
by the discussions, including "How
to Make Our School Standard, .
"Play Apparatus" Pictures for the
School Room" Construction and
Care of the Buildings ON the School
Ground" "Pure Drinking Water"
"The Hot Lunch,' and many other
topics pertaining to the betterment of
school conditions.
In the Introductory letter to the
teachers, Superintendent Churchill
states the purpose of the pamphlet is
Ito assist in the organization of par
ent-teacher associations in order to
unite more closely the home and the
school throughout the state. A plan
for formal organization is given and
a form constitution. In the prepara-
tion of the material, Superintendent
Churchill was assisted by Prof. M. L.
Pittman, head Of the department of
rural schools, Oregon Normal school,
and by the president of the Oregon
Congress of Mothers, Mrs. George
W. McMath.
The county school superintendents
of Oregon have organized hundreds of
these associations during the past few
years, and there has been an urgent
demand for lists Of suitable topics of
the object Of which is to
make these meetings power for good
in the respective communities. One
of the most suggestive articles in the
gives a number of rules,
which if followed, are expected to
make the rural school desirable
place both for children and the teach
els. The subject of the suggestions
is "Some Things You Can Do to
Make Your Teacher Happy, Healthy
and Efficient
The suggestions follow:
l. Have a committee meet her on
her arrival in the district or at the
station.
2. See that she has the best place
possible at which to live while in the
district.
3. Give a reception for her and
see that she meets all patrons of the
school.
4. Invite her to your home at least
once during the year.
5. Do not expect the teacher to pre-
oare all of the programs for the meet
ngs of the association. Her work is
heavy enough now.
6. When her control seems not to
,e good, remember that she has many
% direct, you have only few.
Z. When you have complaint,
20 to the teacher in the right spirit
md discuss it. Do not talk to others
o the detriment of the school and
he teacher.
8. Show your appreciation of the
work of the teacher in some definite
way at the close of the year. Send
Ter away for the summer happy and
linking you are the best people in
he world.

He has no knowledge of the good it is doing, for he is not of it. The man who does not work for the organization to which he belongs is an outsider from his own viewpoint, but it is because he is giving nothing more than his money.
