for the new ordinance. stated that

minimum wage at ss.50 per day,
while the new one fixes no minimum,
but leaves the question OF wage up
TO the committee OF the council TO

When motion was made TO suspend
the rules and place the ordinance up

and Paddock voted against suspen-
sion. and as Atchison was absent, the
motion was defeated because OF Its
failure to receive three-fourths vote

THE SCHOOL BOYS LUNCH.

THE SCHOOL BOYS LUNCH.
Up at the agricultural college they
investigate the food value of alfalfa
and of timothy for the work horse
and the cow; they weigh up the gain
made by the pig on the various feeds
that may be given him, but not till
now have they recognized that the
same theories might be used TO ad-
vantage with the boy. Recently the
value Of lunch for the student in
the public school has been given
scientific study, and the following is
the result:
Can high school student getting
a lunch in the school get more than
twice the value of lunch secured else
where at the same price? That this
is actually the case is shown conclu-
siYely in a comparison OF foods and
prices made by the department Of
domestic science at the Oregon Agri-
cultural college. According to this
list the following food and prices are
obtained at the high schools, having
o food value of 700 calories.
I'm a typical school lunch the fol-
lowing items at the prices given are
procured: Cocoa and whipped cream,
&c; egg sandwich, 40; banana, 1c;
four dates. 1c; cookies. 1c; total
10c.
"Of the usual lunches purchased
elsewhere, the following is said to
be typical OF those bought by high
school students: crullers,5c; cup OF
coffee with cream and sugar, SC;
total, 10c.
1.-THE food value Of this latter bunch
is $50 caiories in comparison with
that Of 700 calories of the typical
school lunch.
Reports from some Of the schools
of Oregon where lunches are served,
show that there are other advantages
connected with the practice Of furn-
fishing the school lunch. 1t affords
a means Of furnishing instruction
and training in preparing and serving
meals economically and wholesomely.
1t also lends additional attraction
TO the work Of schools and tends to
keep attendance and interest at the
best. Teachers are frequently regu-
lar customers Of the school lunch,
which they find to be helpful and
pleasant in comparison with the cold
lunches which they might otherwise
have to eat. The following Is typ
ical menu Of the Kenton school of
Portland: One apple, two slices Of
bread and butter; two crackers, and

How to Handle the 'Iooker" shopper

A big problem for the merchant
is how to deal with people who walk
through their torres in an aimless
way looking for goods, but with no
definite purpose of buying.
The story is told of clerk who
once was exasperated by a woman
who was looking for baskets. He
pulled down all but two on the top
of a long shelf.
The woman finally turned away in
an undecided manner.
Don't believe I'll take any to-
day. / only came in to look for a
friend,' she said.
Madam" replied the clerk, IF
you think your friend is in either Of
those two baskets up there l will
look in them"
Every merchant knows that type
of shopper. The best way to deal
with them is to describe goods def
nitely to the public by good adver-
Using. Then they start out with a
more positive purpose to buy, they
90 direct to the man whose notice in
terested them, and usually buy
without shopping further.-Yazo

A Word to Boys.

To the boys | want to say word.
There is one rule in the world and
it applies to all professions. This is
that you are expected to make good.
No. No excuses are allowed in this
school of life. The only way to
make good is to keep awake. That
is the reason | like the idea of the
boy scouts. 1t gives them notice of
their responsibility to society. They
are responsible to the people who
live around them to help maintain
the standards of order and fidelity,
which are the only things that hold
a community together. Boys are
recruits in the ranks in which we all
stand for those who try to serve the
country in some way that will tell
and that has nothing to do particu-
larry with their own personal char
acter. A man who devotes himself
to the development of his own char
acter will succeed in nothing except
making a prig; but if he devotes
himself to helping other people, his
character will take care Of ITSELF
