BURBOT IS FRESH-WATER COD
Species Which lnhabits Northern Part
Of Western Hemisphere Has 4
voracious Appetite.

The burbot has the distinction Of
being the only fresh-water member Of
the cod family, all Of its relatives liv-
ing In the sea. Its habitat circles the
earth, two almost indlstingulshabe
species being found, one each. In the
lakes and larger streams Of the north
ern parts of the two hemispheres. In
North America 1t occurs from the Arc.
tic circle, and perhaps beyond 1t, 10
the Ohio and Missouri rivers, being
particularly abundant In the Great
Lakes and the larger waters Of New
England, New York, Canada and
Alaska.
1t Is said to spawn in the winter and
early spring aud like most Of its fam.
lily is exceedingly prolific, estimates OF
the number Of eggs ranging from 1Gn,-
600 in a medlum-sized fish to 6700O1
In large one. Its voracity is notori-
Gus. BY day 1t hides In the holes anil
crannies of the bottom or In the deep
er waters, but at night II goes forth
to prey on other fishes, crawfishes,
and, at least In early life, on aquatic
insects and fish eggs. Its highly dis
tensible stomach is as elastic as Its
appetite and 1t takes a heavy toll Of
Its neighbors, the particular trait
which has brought 1t into dlsfavor with
the fishermen who brook no rivalry III
their calling.

"PuttIno off,"

Give up the very unwise habit OF
putting off," Putting off will result
only In your giving up your good in
tentions. There Is never any time like
the present, and no matter how busy
q woman may be, she can always find
time to show some little kindness or
extend some little courtesy that may
be the means Of cheering or strength
ening another around her less strong
willed.
Putting of until tomorrow what you
could do today is a sure way to upset
things In general, for procrastlnation is
surely the thief Of time. Before one
realizes just how 1t happened the days
have flown by and We have not ac-
complished one-half the things we had
intended to.
There is no time like the present,
and II we were wise we would use
every minute we are sure Of instead OF
putting Off" until that future that
may not come.-Exchange.

The Food Pledge.

The food pledge is making its
way very rapidly with the whole
American people, but the terrible
world emergency behind it has not
yet come home to all of us. Liy-
ing in a land which now has the
largest remaining stock of food in
the world, We are a little slow to
realize that this stock can not pos
sibly be our to use as we see fit,
but must be divided with countries
where famine is constant haunt
ing spector. We live in the midst
of plenty this year. Bat famine
is just across the seas, and next
year, or two years from now, it may
be in our own land unless we can
realize the full significance Of food
saving today and adjust our habits
to provide for tomorrow
Every provision of the food
pledge, from wheat to soap fats,
has been carefully thought out af-
ter detailed study Of the worlds
supply Of food today and its prob
able supplies for several years to
come.
Butter must be conserved be-
cause the worlds stock of edible
fats is rapidly diminishing and an
increased production can not be
secured except by organizing effort
in the dairy and allied industries
extending over several years.
Sugar must be conserve because
there is a serious, immediate short
age.
Every available medium for keep
ing the food pledge before every
man, women, and child in the Uni
ted States must be used during the
war.

To expect SORROW is to sulier from 1t
before 1t arrives, and when 1t may Dat
arrive at all; 1t is like throwing our
gold into the sea because we fancy
that the ship is going down. Perhaps
there may be great trouble awaiting
us next year; shall we destroy the en-
tire happiness and comfort Of this year
BY anticipating 1t? The dread will not
help US to bear 1t when 1t comes. Wor-
~ is wrong that we do to ourselves,
and 1t usually makes Others suffer
with US. Very often 1t Is absolutely
selfish. Let Us resist 1t by all the
means In our power, and give our
selves to the things that cheer and
strengthen us; basingsourselves on the
hope that when trial comes we shall
be able to endure 1t bravely. There
are reserves Of strength which We too
often ignore. whose help comes 10 the

SOLDIER BOYS HAVE
GONE TO TRAIN

Last Friday at Eaton four Ray.
mer boys entrained with some sew
enty Others for Fort Riley where
they will be trained for the army
that will go across to France to aid
the old world democracy in its
struggle for existence.
Solomon Rodkin, Russell White,
William Hemenway and Homer
Van Cleve were misrepresentation
from Raymer.
James Nelson and Steven Mem.
ovich from Stoneham were also
among the number. Several from
Grover and keota were there also
but we only have the name Of j. D.
Mcmillan, formerly principal ofthe
Grover schools.
They were a manly looking lot
of young fellows, and while many
were serious as they had cause to
be there was nothing of fear, and
nothing of the Stacker seen.
Mr., Gregg living north several
miles was there ready to go, but at
the last moment they him two more
weeks at home to get ready.
He with the balance of the men
drawn and not exempted, will have
to report at Eaton on the third Of
October.
AT that time another send of
will be given the boys at Eaton,
and we should see to it that a larger
representation is presest to bid
them hearty God-speed in their
mission to fight our battles for US.
Or better yet, it would be the thing
to arrange reception for all the
boys OF this section the day before
they have to 60 to Eaton.
The time seems short to arrange
for anything of that sort on any,
thing like an appropriate scale, but
the boys who go should when they
leave feel that every man, women,
and child left behind is with them
in their sacrifice for their country,

Raymer people have in store for

tertaipments for only $500, and a
reduction for pupils Of the school
to S1.50 for the course.

THEIR TWO WAYS
Women Shoppers Show There Are
Two Methods Of Killing a Cat.
One Gets oruduino Service by Sharp

girl by Her Pleasant Words.

It was three days before Christmas.
In many departments Of Bolivar &
Clark's great store girls with tired
eyes were trying, usually with pa
tence. to serve the never-ending line
Of customers. In the gingham depart.
ment, however, the clerks were having
an easy time. Few persons buy ging-
hams at Christmas time. The girls,
grown careless, were talking together,
taking 1t for granted that any chance
visitor to the department was on her
way to the silk department beyond.
Sol 1t happened that two women
stood for several minutes in front Of
the seersuckers without being noticed.
Presently one of them walked across
to the group where Madge Harkness
was graphically describing the Christ.
mas that she would have If she had
q thousand dollars to spend. Her
voice cut sharply through Madge's gay
tone.
II want to see seersuckers, and ]
have no time to waste. Will one OF
you come and wait upon me, or shall
I call a foorwalkerT
A hot color famed In Madge's face.
She turned at once and began taking
down seersuckers. She answered ev-
cry question distinctly; there was not
a thing with which her customer could
find fault. and yet her whole manner
radiated antagonism. When she took
the order she shrugged her shoulders
behind her customers back.
"The old cat!" she said to Minnie
Dixon. as her customer left. I'D like
to fling the seersucker at her head.
I'd like to put her behind the counter
to wait upon herself. Wouldn't she
be q sweet one2 Shed be fired at the
end Of the first day."
Just then the other woman stepped
up to the counter. She was a little.
white-haired, old lady, but there was a
twinkle in her eyes. She smiled into
Madge's sullen face with q warm
hearted frtendliness.
II hope you won't mind my saying
It." she remarked, "but what pretty
girls you have at this counterl Old
ladies love to see them, you know"
For moment Madge stared. Then
she began to laugh. and the old lady
laughed with her.
'Of course, I'd have to give you any
thing you want for that" she said.
"Of course" the old lady agreed,
twinkllng again, II expected you to-.
But all the same" she added, when her
order was taken and she was turning
away, II meant 1t, too."
"Taffyp Madge exclaimed as she
went back to the others. "But I be-
lleve she meant 1t. Anyway, 1t made
you feel good. Who'd have thought an
old lady like that would be so foxy"
The old lady herself was smiling as
she went toward the elevator, but 1t
was a tender smile, for she really
loved girls.
And the interested bystander who
had seen 1t all went on her way smil.

SCHOOL COMMENCED
LAST MONDAY

IL was a onsy uay III haymer
last Monday School commenced,
with an attendance that surprised
teachers, patrons, and hoard, es-
pecially in the primary room.
The school census last spring
showed a school population OF 24O,
and it was exspected that the en-
rollment this year would 60 to
about l5O.
The commencement Of school
had been delayed for some two
weeks on various things. The fin
ishing for the upstairs was part OF
it lost and failed to arrive until
Monday and the trucks for haul
ing were not finished and did not
start from Denver until Sunday
night.
The delay in the trucks made it
necessary to impress several extra
autos Monday morning, and at
about nine O'Clock divers began
to arrive from every direction and
when noses were counted, it was
found that the first two grades "a
were enrolled, in the 3rd and 4th
there were 81, in the 9th and 9th
n, and in the 7th and Sth "a. and
in the High School "a, making a
fatal enrolment Of ITO, or nearly
Is per cent of the total school pop
ulation, as shown by the census.
But even the enrolment fails to
show all that will be in attendance.
Several pupils were not ready to
start, owing to farm work and in
some cases due to sickness in the
families, while in q few instances
drivers failed to gather children
that were expecting TO attend The
next day saw the original figures
swelled to l9O pupils, and others
that are known to be intending to
come later will the enrolment to
over 200.
The greatest surprise was in the
primary where it was found that
there was a class Of about 40 be-
ginners, This will make it necess-
ary to secure a teacher for beginn-
ers only, and allow one teacher for
the primary, aud one for the second
grade.
There will be some addition to
all Of the departments. OF course
a part Of this increase is due to ar
rivals Of school population that has
arrived in Raymer, since the school
census was taken and we predict
that the school sensus for the CON-
ing year will very likely place the
districtfin the second class. We
may say that some Of this increase
in population has been attracted
here by the apparent efforts of the
community to build up a first class
school at this point.
The teaching force for the CON-
ing year will be as follows:
Supt. Paul j. Hewitt, Principal
Of the High School and Manual
Training, Prof. DePuy, Instructor
in Domestic Science and assistant
in High School, Miss Danielson,
7th and 9Th grades; Miss Homer,
5th and 9TH grades; Mrs. Hewitt,
3rd and 4th grades, Mrs. Florence
Brown; while Miss Bessie ZilIer
have one Of the remaining
grades and the other will be sup
piled.
We feel that the teaching force
represents good material, that they
IRE anxious to give us a first class
school, but they cannot do SO with
out the cordial support Of the com.
munity and this we feel assured
they will have.
