ANNUAL INSTITUTE TO
BE HELD AT NEWPORT

The annual institute for the
teachers of Lincoln county will
be held at Newport, April 2S, 29
and 30th. There is being q pro-
gram prepared that will be pleas
ing as well as profitable to the
teachers.
Newport is one of the best
places in the state for such
meetings, for that is where we
all like to spend our spare time
anyway, 80 we will combine
work with pleasure and have one
of the best Institutes that has
yet been known In this or any
other county. There are about
seventy-five teachers now teach
ing in the county, and a few
more schools will start before
that time so we should have a
better attendance than ever be-
fore. While we expect every
teacher to be present, we hope
to have some of the parents, pat
rons and school boards with us
all or a part of the time.

CABBAGE STORING is SIMPLE
Cheapfy Constructed Bank or Hillside
Root Cellar Is Only Shelter
Needed-keep Place Cool.
(By X. A. KIRKPATRICK, Minnesota
Experiment Station.)

(By X. A. KIRKPATRICK, Minnesota
Experiment Station.)
Cabbage storing Is rather simple
and easy. The shrinkage Is small. A
cheaply constructed bank or hillside
root cellar, or basement under al
most any farm building, is the only
storehouse necessary. This should not
be too dry and should be place
which could be kept at temperature
of about 40 or so degrees in the early
part of the season. This is often ac-
complished by opening the doors to let
in the cool night air and closing them
to keep out the warmer air during the
remainder of the day. Later, of course,
the doors must be kept closed contin-
uous1y.
In storing, most growers place the
heads In a cellar with all leaves and
roots attached. Many market garden
ers have better plan. They cut OF
the stalk as though preparing the
heads for market, but leave two or
three rough leaves to protect the more
tender parts. They then pack in Or
binary cabbage crates and rack these
crates up, leaving a gangway every
third or fourth tier for air circula-
ton.
This work is not particularly diff
cult, and viii certainly pay the grow
er well IL it increases the selling price
OF his production eight or tenfold. For
the last few years, 1t has been market
ed and harvested at from SIS to $3.50
a ton. The purchaser has stored it
and sold it during the late winter for
$50 or $50 ton.

besides, what's the use Of being a
professor IL one has to wear shoes?
"Ishi's" lectures tell of the mode
of life of his people, Of whom he is the
last. He tells OF his explorations in
the hills and of his hunting and fish
ing. He never tells of those who went
before him, because he believes that
to call them by name would mean
that they could come back and ask
who called, and his religion won't let
him speak of the dead.
"Ishi" was, and perhaps still is, the
most 'uncivilized" man in the world.
Until he was captured by the uni

tribe had been seen since 1860. The
little tribe lived near Mill creek, in
the forests, where they stayed in hid
ing, avoiding traders and keeping
away from the railroad track where
engines rumbled by them. They
thought the locomotives some strange
sort of demon; in fact, "Ishi" is just
q little nervous about them yet!
