Grocers Would Stall ill-Jumpers.

The Oregon Retail Grocers associ-
alton, in its annual meeting at Sa-
lem last week, went on record as ia
voring a law making it a misdemea-
nor for any one to contract bills fol
the necessities of life and then avoid
payment thereof by moving to an
other locality. In other words, to
run bill at a grocery store and then
skip out without paying it. The ho-
tel keepers are protected by an inn
keepers law and the grocers want the
same protection. A bill will probably
be introduced to this effect. There
is also a feeling among the grocers
that some restraint should be placed
on conditional sales-that of offering
a certain article below cost to in
veigle the customer into buying an

SCHOOL NEWS


The eleventh zone meeting was held
Saturday at the Guthrie school, where
many faithful teachers gathered for
the social and intellectual feast
The work was not begun until about
ten o'clock, due to some tardy ones,
who forgot the school motto.
"Promptness and Thoroughness. y
However, when the work began it
commanded attention until the good
hostesses declared their meal was
ready for the hungry visitors.
The morning session was devoted
to observation work. Supervisor
Moore repeated his reading discus
sion which has been enjoyed at the
other zone meetings; then he demon
strated the principles with second
grade class. This was followed by
class work with the fourth and sew
enth grades in language.
Lunch was served to the guests at
1890 which was not at all of sec
ondary Importance, as it was excel
lent in quality and quantity.
After lunch Miss Phillips of Guth-
RE offered some good class work with
the fourth grade and unquestionably

seventh grade language class conduct
ed by Mr.. Moore, after which the

fered a vote of thanks and all went
their way.

the true Oregonian progressive spir-
it shown by those who came. I'm

able to attend on account of illness
so all who should have had the Eng
lish work will not get it at these zone
meetings this year.
The teachers attending were Miss
Mildred Chaplin of Oal1hurst, Miss
Martha Skersies of Antioch, Mrs.
Anna Forrette of North Dallas, Miss
Ellen De Haven Of Sprinv Valley,
Miss Rose Page of Sunny Slope, Miss
Georgia Curtis of Oakdale, Miss Er-
genia Phillips of Guthrie, Mr.. Peter
Berg of Orchards. Mr.. j. |. Reasoner
of Liberty and Mr.. Lester Gardner
of Bridgeport.
The children who kindly gave up
their Saturday frolic for the good
work were Second grade: Warren and
Harry Welton of the Guthrie school.
Fourth grade: Ethel Monlers, Leotn
Smalhnan, Oscar Bilieu and Cecil
Guthrie of the Guthrie school SeF-
entb grade: Rena Wilson and Ra-

Human Mosquitoes.

A Human Mosquito could suggest
almost any kind of annoying person,
but in my mind I have always pictur-
ed this type of person as one who has
always lived in such cramped condi-
lions physically that he has become
morally cramped in proportion.
Mosquitoes are very small and insig-
nifcant and bite from one of them
does not amout to much, to be sure.
Still they are annoying and it is dis
gushing to be obliged to feel that such
a small insect can cause so much trou-
Bile. For usually they are not satisfied
to bite once and leave but seem to de-
light in biting as many times as pos
sible before receiving their justly de-
served punishment.
And SO there are Human Mosquitoes
whose moral characters are so cramp-
ed and shrunken that they would stoop
