CAN'T BUY WIFE A DRINK.
Judge Pugh Holds Man Would Be
Violating Law if He Does.

If your wife wants you to buy her
drink of intoxicating liquor, don't do
it. Give her some money and let her
buy it herself as you would be vio-
lating the excise law If you gave her
the drink.
In connection with the decision of
Judge Pugh in the Police Court that
it is violation of the law to give
a party and furnish your guests with
intoxicating liquor he said yesterday that
husband would be volator of the
law if he gave his wife a drink
The court has not been called upon to
sit in judgment in the case of hus-
band for giving his wife drink, but
said that if such a case came before
him he would have to hold the husband
guilty of violation of the law.

considerably thus reducing the amount
of feeding otherwise necessary. Mr..

TO WORK SHORTY BAR.
Plenty of Water this Spring Assures
Nice Cleanup on the Claim.

Lewis j. Swarts, son of Theodore d.
Swarts of White Bird came up from
Culdesac Monday evening, at which
place he has been in charge of the Scott
Hardware during the past winter. He
left for his father home at White
Bird, Wednesday and intends to assist
Mr.. Swartz, Senior, in mining opera
tions down on the Shorty Bar placer
mining claim on Salmon river. This
claim is a rich bar and is worked dur
ing the time spring water lasts from
the going of the snow. This year the
prospects are exceptionally bright for
mining on the claim as the heavy snow
fall insures a large amount of water to
last for a long time, A big cleanup is
insured by an early start and opera
tions will be commenced Immediately.
The writer was invited to go down and
see the work and as he has seen the
claim on the occasion of several visits
and knows it is a rich one, he may later
accept and arrive in time to see some
of the pretty yellow dust that makes
prosperity.

DRILL ON STREET.

Company e National Guard
drilled on the street for a time Mon
day evening and those who watched
the boys appreciated the fact that some
good work has been done in drilling by
the officers since the company was or.
ganized. The large number in the COM
pany and the space in the drill room
does not permit of drill work in certain
formations and this was the object of
taking the company out on the street.
lnclement weather has made outside
work impraeticable for some time. 1t
is to be hoped that the boys will soon
again be out drilling for there is moth
ing more interesting than watching the
work of well drilled company. The
members of the company and the off

good work thus far. Company "E'

FARM STATIONERY.
Name Farm and Have Letterheads, Fol
low With Advertising Progressive.

The farmer can sell his annual re-
eeipts by using good printing and by
i occasional advertising in the weeklies
of his county, says p. w. Morton, dean
of the new school of commerce of the
University of Oregon.
A farm letterhead should carry the
name of the farm, the name of the
owner, the location of the farm and
perhaps small picture of some feature
Of the place, says Dean Morton, who
! regards the farmer as a business man
with a substantial investment upon
which he should ma Ike every effort to
pay interest.
cit gives the farmer a certain bust
ness standing if he has neat letterheads
of good stock, and it improves the
value of his farm to have a name and
something of an individuality, he
said.
''There is some initial expense in
having a picture taken and cut made,
but the publisher OF the nearest coun-
try paper will attend to the details and
afterward will do the printing reason
ably.
eff the farmer raises high class
animals, his letterhead may contain a
picture of prize animal with its re-
cord: or if he has stock farm, a pic
ture of a bunch of stock; or if he has
the best house or barn in the neighbor-
hood, picture of that; or picture of
grove or stream is usually effective
on stationery. There .are few farms not
worth naming, and few that do not pro-
vide something worth permanent pie
ture.
Advertising rates are very low in
country papers and a farmer at a cost
of from 10 to so cents may often sell a
horse, a second hanh machine, or some
other thing about the place he does not
need by putting a small advertisement
in his weekly paper
ga farmer s ADVERTISING should of
course conform to the best advertising
standards: it should be very definite
and absolutely truthful.

SCHOOL NOTES
CIV. NJ. g.

Last Friday evening at 1880 in the
high school auditorium, a mock trial
was held. The defendants in the case
were Audrey Bennett, Lena Peters and
Harriet Hansen, who were being tried
for using illegal means for winning the
annual contest between the girls and
boys. The girls proved that the boys
were getting afraid that they were GO
ing to be successful and brought this
charge against them to even things up.
James Yates and Homer Eimers were
the prosecutors in the case while Annie
Norwood was the legal light who repre-
scented the girls so WELL Harold Har-
ris in the capacity of judge, with
serious looks and benign countenance
but the tender hearts of the three gentle
defendants in awe of the sublimity of
the law. Gilbert Foster acted in the
capacity of clerk, and reporter, and ac-
Quilted himself in a lawful manner.
John Long was the sheriff and had to
deputise all the high school boys to
help him round up the defendants and
their witnesses, who knowing John s
weakness in disliking to hurt pretty
girls, gave him the chase of his life.
Bessie Coyne acted as court steno.
grapher, while Roby Lovelace acting as
bailiff took the jury through all the
right pathways of unanimous deer
sion. The prosecution introduced as
witnesses the following: Charles Turn
err, Andrew Stockton, Robert Burlin-
game, John Long, Prof. Rice, Miss
Brooks, Miss Longrellow, Otis Howard
and Everett Rambo. The witnesses
for the defense were Eunice McEntee,
Helen Norwood, Myrtle Fuller, Paul
Atwood, Miss Clifford, Jean McGhie
and Rosa Pfeufer.
The prosecution introduced sufficient
evidence to convince the jury that the
defendants were guilty, and after
deliberation of fifteen minutes they re-
turned a verdict. The jury was com
posed of Dennis Howard, Jacob Brisc
zoe, Francis Gilbert, Mac Gregg, Frank
Atwood, Phillip P1eufer, Mildred
Halsaur, Marjorie Foster, Elsie Stan
berry, Mabel Oliver, Nina Decker and
Lillian Murphey.
