Provided a sufficient number
Of people wish to receive this in
struction, classes will be given in
the Central School Building five
nights in the week in all primary
subjects. The fullest informa-
ton in regard to hours, ETC., can
be secured upon application to
Superintendent Proctor. This
opportunity has been offered for
some weeks and it has not re-
ceived an entirely satisfactory
response in applications for en-.
rollments, hardly enough, in fact,
to Justify a continuation of the
classes.
Considering the number OF

larger number Of people have
not taken advantageof this Of

The decision of the Supreme
Court upholding the Webb-hen-
yon law in its broadest ;nterpreta-
ton, while aidir. greatly the
cause of prohibition in making
bone dry the territory already
won, will probably postpone in
definitely the passage of a Pro-
hibition Amendment to the Con-
stitution. Each State will now
have the power, if it chooses to
exercise it, of keeping out alco-
holic beverages entirely, and the
possession of this power will GER
tainly modify the enthusiasm of
those prohibitionists who are
"States-righters" for the pass
age Of a Federal Act.

lcel lildI Iilc OCdIe recognizes
their wisdom and their worth,
and places no discount on their
patriotism.
If there be physicians who,
with that divine self-forgetful-
ness that is the birthmark of
their calling, are wiling to trace
disease to its most hidden lair,
and plant the banners of life in
the very stronghold Of death, ]
want them to know that the
State sees a new salvation in
their sacrificial labors, and stands
ready to clothe them with all
needful authority, and place an
unlimited armamentarium at
their command.
For four years | want labor
and capital, learning and art,
and the life and letter of the law
to be devoted to making every
acre and every stream, every
human and every mechanic unit
in the Commonwealth be and do
its level best.
| doubt not that with the wheat
will spring up the tares, and to
some successor of mine who
glories in cremation, shall be-
queath the joy of gathering the
tares into bundles and burning
them in unquenchable fire. To me
the call is definite and despotic,
to toll and tire not that all the
fields may come white to the
harvest.
Such are my hopes and high
resolves. But in civic life aspi-
rations and ideals are without
value save as they inspire
measures that make for the COM
mon good. Living problems con-
front US. Ills that hurt require
remedies that heal. The hour
calls for action and Faith with
out works is dead"
The first and dearest work of
this administration will be a
supreme effort to TRANSLATE the
tenants of the State into land
lords. Here and now, in the
presence of God and these wit
nesses, | consecrate myself. and
all the power and prestige of my
office to this endeavor. ! shall
neither rest nor permit the State
forest, until every honest, indus
trious and frugal man who tills
the soil, has a decent chance to
own it. | am driven to this I'M
deltaking by the tyranny of a
conviction that such a work is
essential not alone to the whole
some development, but to the
enduring safety of the State.
That wizard of the Northwest,
James J Hill, once said, Land
without population is wilder
nest; population without land is
a mob" Today eighty-four per
cent of the people of Mexico are
without land, and riots and
revolutions result as the sparks
fly upward. There can be no
government for the many while
the lands belong to the few, for
the history OF the world teaches
that the men who own the land
will rule it. The State Journal.

Aluminium and Oxyssn.

Aluminium Is in many ways 4 won
derful substance, albeit in the natural
world most of it is oxidized and turned
to clay. Its avidity for oxygen is one
Of its most salient characteristics. 1t is
said that one never sees the metal, d.
rectly, in air, but always and only
through a veil Of superficial oxide
which forms on its free surface with
marvellous rapidity. 1t is stated that II
a fresh surface Of aluminium be pre-
pared by scraping with a knife the
oxygen Of the air runs In as fast as the
scale is peeled of and keeps close be-
hind the knife blade.
II 1t were not for this superficial
scale of oxide, which acts as a. barrier
to further action, the metal would burn
up or defagrate In air. The largo
amount of heat developed by thermit.

Tokyo's Prolific Slums.

No tourist crosses the Sumida river

where the real secret Of Tokyo's fu-
ture lies. 1t is the factory and Stun
sections of the city, and Interpolation
there has increased in the last decade
ten times as fast as has the population
in the district Of Kojimachi, which
surrounds the palace.
In the last generation the population
Of the five greatest industrial and COM
mercial cities in Japan has increased
by 314 per cent as against an increase
in the whole empire Of Is per cent.
The trend in Japan Is cityward, and
the visitor to Tokyo, seeing the streets
crowded with people, does not realize
that in the suburbs the growth in popu-
lation has run from $50 to 500 per cent
in the last decade -Christian Herald.

The Ideal Kitchen,

Tie kitchen is the real workshop Of
the family. Most Of the work there
has to do with preparing food for the
family, cleaning it up and putting 1t
away. The old fashioned kitchens
never took into account economy Of
steps and time. but today this is al
ways done. There is logical order
for the arrangement of the equipment.
Things that belong to each process
should be together, within the reach
Of the worker. The icebox, cold pan
try. kitchen cabinet, stove and serving
table are used together and should be
In close continuous line. This is the
food preparation side Of the equip
ment. For the cleaning up Of the same
economy should be practiced. The sink
should be near the china closet or In
Z buffers pantry, the track should b
straight for clearing up. Always have
plenty Of table room near the sink. A
drain board on each side is the best
plan, or at least a set Of hanging
shelves, a hinged shelf and extra ia
BILE or 4 wheeled table at the right. If
the drain table is porcelain rubber
