Friday was visiting Day for the
girls. Very few visitors were here.
There have been quite number to
be shown about the school during the
week. .-
Tracy Pycke, of Northfeld, has
been the guest of Mrs. Morse for a
part of the week.
Mr.. Mahoney, father of Miss Vir-
ginia Mahoney, teacher at Irene Pet
tit, has been visiting his daughter.
Several of the helpers have been
away. Miss Avery, teacher at Stowe
Cottage, spent two days at her home
in Hutchinson. Mrs. Coin, Nurse at
the hospital, has been away for sever
al days. Miss Rosenberger spent
Easter Sunday at her home in St.
Cloud. Mr.. Harrington and Lewis
Eckenrod also spent Sunday in st.
Cloud. Miss Carson spent two days
in Minneapolis.
A very charming and artistic "Co-
tillion" was given by Miss Shepherd
Saturday evening for the girls of AL
colt Cottage and some of the officers.
The evening started with a grand
march led by Miss O'Brien and Miss
Mealey. Each couple was given a
crepe paper muff or neck ruff, the
bright colors of the favors making a
striking contrast to the simple white
dresses of the girls. Every other
dance was plain Favor Dance. The
couples called to the floor danced till
the blow of the whistle, when the la
dies went to their favor table and the
gentlemen (?) to theirs. Then fol-
lowed the exchange of favors, each
scrambling to present his (?1 favor
to the lady desired for the next dance,
before another could secure her for
his 90 partner. The favors ranged
from corsage bouquets, beauty pins,
and picture frames, to marshmallow
rabbits and plain wire hairpins. Each
Favor Dance was followed bys Fam
cy Figure in which both girls and
teachers participated. All were thor
oughly delighted by the originality
of the idea. Refreshments were SER
we'd at 10: 80, and the festivity was de-
clared by all to be the most brilliant
of the season.

THE PROFESSION OF HOUSE.
WIFE.

There seems to be revival of in
terest in home economics. Many
women's clubs are arranging courses
for next fall with lecturers on the
subject of home efficiency.
The great majority of women are
hard working people, who may not
have studied household efficiency
scientifically. But they have put an
enormous amount of toilsome labor
into the practice of the art.
To some others, household cares
have been a tedious and boresome
task to be shifted over TO servants as
much as possible.
The efficient and economical run
ming OF a home is business prob
lem that should be no less interesting
than the details of running a news
paper, store, or factory. Educa-
tional institutions, clubs and other
agencies have given too much atten-
tion to the world of books and art,
too little to this fundamental busi-
ness problem affecting every fam
ily's welfare. The women's clubs
are evidently seeing it.

THE BOY CAMPS.

Enormous numbers of boys are
spending parts or the whole of their
summer vacations now at boy camps.
Not merely are large camps run by
clubs and Young Mems Christian AS
sociatiops, but many teachers, Sun
day school workers and others take
small groups of boys off to tent life.
There is something barbaric in the
heart of the boy to which this life
keenly appeals. In many cases 1t is
the desire to get away from his
women bosses" Having to dress
up to go to school and church is not
merely an arduous burden, but it
seems to him so wholly unnecessary
and futile.
The normal boy is an Indian at
heart. He revels in the free life
where he can wear khaki or swim
ming clothes all day. Boys become
manly and acquire initiative in this
life. At home all their wants are too
much looked out for by indulgent
parents, who answer the boys call
as if he were little king. Out in
the camp he learns to shift for him
self and take his part with other
boys.

What is a Placer?

A placer is an unconsolidated de-
posit accumulated by mechanical
processes, carrying one or more min
erals in commercial quantities. All
placers are secondary deposits-that
is, the material of which they are
composed was originally derived by
erosion of bedrock. Although it is
undoubtedly true that under certain
conditions nuggets Of placer gold
have been enlarged through chemical
precipitation, yet this action is a
negligible quantity in placers. Plac-
ers may be derived solely by rock
weathering without water sorting,
but more commonly are the result OF
water transportation, sorting and de-
position. Many of the richest placers
are thoses formed by the erosion of
older placers and the recommendation
of their gold.

Blighting Words.

If the merely idle word is one day
to be accounted for and judged, what
of the untrue, impure, the profane,
the malignant and cruel words with
which this earthly air is continually
charged? Only movement of the
lips, a moments stirring of the air,
and all is silent, as though the word
had never been spoken; yet fellow
creatures happiness has been blight
ed; heavy burden has been made
still heavier to bear; heart has been
robbed of its guilelessness and trust;
the seed has been sown of career
that ends in ruin and death. Those
words are not dead Though they
seem to be buried in everlasting OBJ
livion, yet, when the judgment throne
is set and earth's myriads are gath
cred together to be by their words
justified or by their words con-
demned, they will return with solemn
reverberating echo out of the dark
ness Of the past, and fall with dis
may and shame on the ears Of those
who spoke them. And those words
faithful, pure, benign-passing to
and fro among men like white-winged
angels, carrying messages OF love and
hope and healing from heaven;
words almost divine in their ennob-
ling influence, helping us ever on
ward and upward along life's journey
those, too, will awake from their
sacred slumber, and amid the CRATE
full murmur of the multitudes whom
they have gladdened, comforted and
saved, their blessed sound will be
heard on earth once more.
Keep watch of your words, my darl-
ings,
For words are wonderful things;
They are sweet, like bees fresh
honey,
Like bees, they have terrible sings.
They can bless, like the warm, glad
sunshine,
And brighten a lonely life;
They can cut, in the bitter contest,
Like an open, two-edged knife.

FOREST SERVICE DONATES
TIMBER FOR ALASKA r. r.

The district forester at Portland
has issued to the Alaska engineering
commission a free use permit for over
$4,000 900 feet of timber, to be used
in the construction of the proposed
government railroad between tide
water and the Matanuska coal field.
The act of March 4, 1914, author
lied the Forest Service to permit the
navy department and the Alaska en-
gineering commission to take from
the national forest, free of charge,
earth, stone and timber for use in
government works. In accordance
with this provision, the Forest Serv-
ice is setting aside bodies of timber
in the Chugach national forest con-
venient to the line of the proposed
railroad, in order that the building of
the railroad may be furthered in this
way by getting tie timber, piling, ETC.,
free of charge, at convenient points.
The permit issued by the district
forester allows the cutting, by the
commissions contractors, on eight
areas, most of them on Turnagain
Arm and in the vicinity of Cooks
Inlet, the total stand upon which
aggregates S5,6O0,00O feet. This
timber will be cut in accordance with
the practice in force on the national
forests to secure the most intensive
utilization and to provide for the per-
petuation of the forest cover.
The act of congress provides that
the secretary of agriculture shall re-
port annually the amount of timber
which has been so disposed of free by
the forest service to the other bu-
reaus in order that congress may
know what use is being made of the
national forests by other departments
as we'll as by individuals under paid
permits.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen

20, think of the home over there"
is the sweet refrain of a popular
hymn. We don't want to throw any
cold water on the honest efforts of
this pious poet, but we do wish he
had directed his energies to the i'm
provement of the home down here.
When a man or woman thinks of the
"home over there" so much that the
home below the clouds gets but little
attention, we think that kind of piety
is not practical. Think of the home
that you occupy, and try to make it
better, happier and purer. The home
over there is in better hands, and
won't need your exclusive attention
until you get there.

WOMEN AS COMMERCIAL TRAy-
ELERS.

The last number of the New York
Nation prints letter from London
in which it is noted how women are
spreading out into new fields of en-
ployment Particular mention is
made of their success as travelling
salesmen, where they are acquiring a
reputation for tact, keenness and
economy.
The killing off of Europe's best
young men will open wide to womep
many fields formerly closed. Social
changes like this will be felt in this
country. If many European women
60 on the road as commercial travel
ers it will encourage more American
women to do the same 1t is per-
haps remarkable that women have
not invaded this field more gener-
ally.
The selling of goods in retail stores
has been largely in the hands of
women for many years. In the larg-
er cities they hold many lucrative
positions. They may often know
more about business than the own
ers thereof. Women are great bar
gamers, and they will fight for what
they deem a principle, where men
would have feeling that they low
cred their dignity by haggling
Probably the reason why more
women have not gone on the road is
that in past years the profession of
commercial travellers was somewhat
looked down upon. The "drummers"
we're supposed to be a bunch OF
sports who spent much time in con-
vivial life. In modern competition
it has become very responsible work.
A firm takes quite gamble when it
hands over a good territory to new
man. The expenses of his trip and
the possibility of losing trade are a
large stake, and few moral hazards
are taken.
Women as commercial travellers
may be a novelty in England, and
they are still the exception in this
country, but an increasing number
OF them have been attaining success
in this field in the United States for
some years back.

is ASHLAND SATISFIED?
The Evidence is CONFERENCE.-THE
Testimony Open to Investigation.

Before a statement can be accepted
here it must be supported by local
testimony-by the evidence of some
one residing in Ashland. Statements
from unknown people in remote
places may be true, but we cannot
prove them. Here is a statement by
an Ashland resident
Allen Davis, 1877 First street, Ash
land, says: "A bad attack of kidney
and bladder trouble came on me. 1t
was so sudden and hard that /
thought l was done for. My back
ached and when | tried to pass the
kidney secretions / had such terrible
pains that | could hardly stand them.
The flowSof the kidney secretions was
scanty. After suffering a number Of
days / got two boxes Of Doan's Kid
ney Pills, as | had seen them adver-
tised for such cases. They proved a
Godsend and restored me to good
health"

OUR CHAUTAUQUA.

Garfield (Wash) Enterprise: Ash
land, Ore, has a Chautauqua park
In the center of the town and a bee
hive auditorium on a natural slope
of land built after the plan of the
Mormon Tabernacle at Salt Lake
City. 1t is said that the Chautauqua
programs during twenty-five years
have cost some $4,000, the list of
speakers being particularly notable.
The man behind this Independent
Chautauqua, G. F. Billings, says that
the money and effort expended have
done far more than similar expendi-
lures for paving or business struc-
lures, "in making a high-minded
community, in uniting people, in re-
filming them, in making young men
and women of the highest type, and
in bringing all the world to Ash
land"

Never cast aside your friends If by
any possibility you can retain them.
We are the weakest of spendthrifts
if we let one friend drop off through
inattention, or let one push away an
other, or il we hold aloof from one
for petty jealousy, or needless sights
or roughness. Would you throw
away diamond because it pricked
you? One good friend is not weighed
against the jewels of the earth. II
there is coolness or unkindness be-
tween us, let us come face to face
and have it out. Quick, before the
love grows cold. Life is too short
to quarrel in, or carry evil or unkind
thoughts of friends. 1t is easy to
lose a friend, but new one will not
come for the calling, nor make up
for the old one when he comes.

HAVE A HEART.

Out of the thoughtless prank OF
some young lads who threw stones
at the Liberty Bell near Walla Walla,
even as you and ] might have heaved

We were kids, sensation-seeking
newspapers are making an act of
vandalism which will no doubt be
hailed as such all over the country.
Even the usually conservative Port
land Oregonian lets loose with the
following symptoms of approaching

THE train officers comfort them
selves and us by describing that
stone-throwing affair near Walla
Walla as a prank of small boys. The
young chaps would not have thrown
stones at the Liberty Bell If their
elders had not set them on. We
might as well admit to ourselves that
there is good deal of disloyalty in
the United States. Some of 1t is
loud, some quiet. The latter is the
more dangerous"
Boys will be boys, and we would
suggest that the august editor who
wrote the above spend an evening
with a gang" of boys, so that he
may better realize the difference be-
tween thoughtless outbursts of
prankishness and "disloyalty in the
United States"

A gentleman from San Diego
writes; please send me a copy Of
your paper. / want to size up the
business of your town from the ad-
vertisements with a view to trans
ferring my interests there" He will
have hard time sizing up the busi-
ness of Ashland by advertisements in
the newspapers of the city. There
are only half dozen consistent mer-
camille advertisers in town. And if
people size up the opening for busi-
ness by the newspaper advertise
ments there will be more merchants
in Ashland than the town will hold.
From the Ashland newspaper adver-
tisements the average wideawake
merchant would conclude the mercan-
tile business was not well represent
ed here. Looking over the ads, we
find there are no ice cream parlors in
town; there is but one blacksmith
shop; there are no grocery stores;
there are but two garages; there are
no cigar stores or factories; there are
no bakeries; there are no sulphur
baths; there are but two jewelry
stores; there are but two banks; and
very few merchants. OF course, this
information comes to us only by look
ing over the advertising columns of
the Tidings and Record We are
here and know the town is we'll sup
piled with all of them, but how about
the man away from here who at
tempts to size up the town, as this
inquirer is doing, by the advertise
ments?
