Jackson Co. Schools
Encourage Athletics

Encouragement of the children in
the rural schools of Jackson county
in the development of all around
athletic ability is the purpose of the
instructors, and to this end a field
meet of nine rural schools was held
recently at Applegate. A. R. Chase,
rural supervisor, in communication
received at the office of State Super
intendent of Public Instruction
Churchill, says that W. o. Wheeler,
principal of the Applegate school,
originated the idea of holding a
meet, and DR.. Bertha, Stuart of the
extension department of the Univers-
ity of Oregon drew up the plan for
the meet.
"The object of the meet" explains
Mr. Chase, was to train all the boys
and girls of all the schools instead of
developing certain star athletes as is
the common practice. In nearly all
of the events all the boys and girls
took part and the average for each
school was carefully computed. The
boys were divided into classes accord
ing to weight and the girls according
to age. The events for the boys were
Ginning contest, 50-yard dash,
standing broad jump, running broad
jump, shot put and relay race.
Events in which the girls took part
were basketball throwing, 5O-yard
dash and Ginning contest.
1T is interesting to note that one
boy, Fremont Gordon, chinned him
self thirty-six times, while one girl,
Thelma Mcdaniel, chinned herself
thirty-two times. The average of the
twenty-eight boys and girls of the
Applegate school in Ginning was
slightly more than seventeen times.
Eighteen schools are expected to COM
pete in next years meet. Salem

The Big Gray Car
Resort Seekers
Coming to West

That travellers to the various great
summer resorts in the United States
all intend to make the through trip
to California to visit its two eXposi-
tions, is the opinion of Charles S.
Fee, passenger traffic manager of the
Southern Pacific Company. He is in
receipt Of letter from f. j. Haynes,
president of the Yellowstone Western
Stage Company operating in Yellow
stone national park, which says that
the stages have handled in the first
fifteen days of the season the great
est number of people in its history,
and that practically every traveller
held tickets which showed either that
he had already visited California or
was on his way westward to do so.
The figures show that from June
Is to 80 the stage company, running
in conjunction with the Union Pa
cific and Oregon Short Line, handled
1850 tourists. Three-fourths of
these held through tickets for a west
bound trip to California, and the bal
ance had already been there and were
returning home.
The Southern Pacific recently an
nounced that almost a special train
a day was now arriving with tourists,
each train carrying about two hun
dred, and that regular trains were
running in at least two sections, The
schools have closed throughout the
country and the vacation period is
on, which allows families to come
west who were only waiting until the
children should have their time free.

CONFESSIONS OF A HUSBAND.
(By John w. Flenner.)

(By John w. FlennerO
My wife's gone to the country,
(Alas, alack, it's SOD
She thought that it would do us
Both good to have here go.
Well, it may make HER healthy
Just like she used to was"
And | am fondly hoping
And praying that it does.
Yet | am having troubles
Since I kissed her goodbye;
And I've been sick all over,
Most sick enough to die.
Yes, | am having troubles,
Which would be meat for her.
If next year she says Country
I'll certainly demur.
I'm glad that I am able
To send her on these trips,
But goodness, gracious, gravy,
Where are our pillow slips?
! wonder where secreted
Are all our silver spoons;
Nor can I find my low shoes
Or ice cream pantaloons.
Now did she say to water
The fern and rubber plant
Each morning or each EVENING"
I've tried to think but can't.
| wonder where my collars,
My shirts and ties are laid;
fear that my B. V. DIS
Are stolen, lost or strayed.
At first thought it funny,
- Leading a frauless life;
But now I'd give a kingdom
To get back my friend wife.
Ye Gods but | am pining
To eat at home again;
I'm tired of pie and pretzels
And food of homeless men.

A general bombardment of Guaymas
by the Carranza gunboat Guerrero,
