middle Of next week. 1t is expected
that all of the districts of the first

perintendent is to be vice-president
of the organization and under the
rules is to appoint president, a sec
retary-treasurer and five district di-
rectors, to serve until the meeting Of
the State Teachers Association, at
which time these bodies will elect
their own district directors.

pointed G. w. Boetticher, superin-
tendent of schools, Albany, Ore, as

Ashland HighlWins
From ROSebuYg

claimants for the state championship,
in two well-played games, Thursday
and Saturday of last week.
The Roseburg boys had a husky
bunch of clever basket tossers but
were no match for the locals. The
basket throwing of Grisez and the
highly developed guarding system of
the locals were the chief contributory
causes OF the victories.
AS a preliminary for Thursdays
game the Ashland school second team
beat the Talent high school team by
score of 26 to IA. The game was
we'll played throughout, the Talent
lads putting up a first-class game de-
spite their ineXperience. Morgan and
Beaver were the best point getters
for the home guard and Bentley for
the visitors.
The Talent girls team defeated a
girls team from the Ashland high by
score of II to as a preliminary
for the second game. The Ashlanders
were minus the services of Bomar
and Grubb, but put up fine game,
which, however, was no match for
the hard playing of the girls from
the little city to the north.
The main event on the first night
was a thriller from whistle to whis-
tie. The game started off with fast
passing and close guarding, it being
several minutes before the first bas-
ket was thrown. The score at the
end of the first half stood six to four
in favor Of the Umqua Valley team
During the entire first half the usu-
ally steady basket shots Of the Ash
land bunch had poor luck and shot
time after time without results.
In the second half the home aggre-
cation came back hard and COM
menced rolling them in. Grisez
played q wonderful game this half
and scored five field goals. The
Roseburg lads were able to annex
only two field baskets and had but
few shots. The score ended 10 to 10
in the home teams favor. Fraley
threw four out of six foul tries, and
Black for the visitors the same num-
Der.
The attendance was rather small
considering the importance of the
game.

season turned out to see the contest

out, and although Ashland kept thu
lead, 1t was not big enough until tn,
last few minutes but that Roseburi
, stood chance to catch up by fas
spurt. Grsez was the star performe
as usual and scored five baskets, bu

The average successful farmer de-

keeps a few dairy COWS, and raises
colts, calves and pigs. He would like
to breed some good sheep, were it
not for the night-prowling dogs of the

of "riff-raff' composed of animals of
different ages. There is no room for
them IN the regular stables, but to Sc
cure the profits they must be taken
care of and fed with intelligence.
Young stock requires some kind of
inclosed stable, where they may be
housed during severe weather. They
also require good winter feeding

of fall, winter and spring is made up

Rain is more detrimental than Sc

producing food are necessary to evap-

not eat enough or is not given the

is shrinkage in weight. When an ami

PLANNING THE NEW HOUSE
Interior Arrangements Should Have
as Much Care as the Outside of
the Home.

Things one should not do in plan
ming home have been enumerated
from week to week on the Home
Builders page of the Sunday Herald
during the past few months. But
in addition to the things that should
not be done there are many little
things that should be done, some of
which, seemingly unimportant, are in
reality very important. Following are
few of the Dos" combined with
"Don'ts:"
Don't treat the piazza as an archia
tectural excrescence; make it a real
out-of-door living room. 1t should com.
mand good view, have a western
exposure and be so located as to afs
ford privacy and rest to those occupy
ing it.
Don't plan for other than wide open.
ings between the hail. living room and
dining room. These wide openings
give an air of spaciousness and gra
cious hospitality.
Don't buy building site without
III ~ having the dI CIILGCJ WISH IlI6
site with you. You may in this way
avail yourself of many valuable and
helpful hints.
Don't plan your house until you
have selected your building site To
do so is about as difficult and will
result more disastrously than buying
hat without first trying it on.
Don't forget that a CHEEKY entrance
hall affords to the casual visitor agree
able anticipations that further &C
quaintance with the house will be
equally CHEEKY.
Don't fail to locate the kitchen
range out of reach of cross drafts.
Much time and fuel are wasted, often
with disastrous results to the cook
ing, by not obtaining this condition.
Don't omit the shower from the
bathroom. You will be more than
repaid in health and comfort for the
extra outlay.
Don't fail to conceal, if possible, the
hOt-WateT boiler in some convenient
closet in the kitchen. The boiler is
not a decorative feature, even with
much time expended in polishing it.
This time can be spent to better ad-
vantage in numerous other ways. The
water keeps hot longer if the tank is
concealed, which is an advantage eco
nomioally.- Boston Herald.

WITNESS HAD AN ANSWER
He Insists He Will Always Keep
in Memory.

A railroad lawyer, who has much to
do with human nature, says: Never
Cross-question an Irishman from the
old sod" And he gave an illustration
from his own experience:
A section hand had been killed by

suing for damages. The main witness
swore positively that the locomotive
whistle had not been sounded until
after the whole train had passed over
his departed friend
See here, McGinnis," said |, you

Now, if that whistle sounded in
time to give Michael warning, the fact
would be in favor of the company,
wouldn't ito
"Yis, sor, and Mike would be testi-
flying here this day" The jury giggled.
Very well. Now, what earthly pur
pose could there be for the engineer
to blow his whistle after Mike had
been struck"

NOBILITY OF THE NATIONS
Writer Contradicts Assertion Made
by Lord RoseberY Famous
British Statesman.

"A nation cannot be as noble as a
single man in it can" said Lord Rose
berry.
would say single man cannot
hope to be as noble as nation can.
A nation is capable Of an accelera-
tion-a momentum of moral action.
The nobility that is in a single man,
a nation can raise to an nth power.
One man who pulls himself together
and loves or one man who pulls him
self together and hates, is impressive.
A nation that pulls itself together and
loves-is sublime
Even a nation that pulls itself to-
gether and hates all over with one
mighty heat of hate, is sublime. Ev-
cry man in Germany who is singing
Lissauers chant of hate and fighting
England with that chant of hate-has
ten times as much hate in his one
single heart than he would have II
he were hating as a single man. He
hates everybody else's hate on top Of
his own hate. One stick Of wood in
a fire may be hot-but it is hotter
with three more-and still hotter
that one stick-with three million
more.
1t is absurd to says a nation cannot
be as noble as a single man can. 1t
is defiance of psychology and of the
laws of dynamics in the human heart.

The labor problem is, the most seri-

things to consider in laying out
farm building is the labor of using
the building after it is completed.
The old-fashioned way was to attach
the feed racks to the shed posts.

A gentleman from Michigan once

town he visited there was a deep ra-

which, seemingly, all the rubbish Of
the town was thrown.
A young schoolteacher devised a

Her pupils were all requested to bring
all the nasturtium seeds they could
get, and when the rainy season COM

they planted their nasturtium seeds.
