Judged by the vote, very little
interest was taken in the port
election. However, Mr. Lincoln
was elected by a handsome major
ity. At Tacoma, Chester Thorne
won in the race. Holding n sepa-

elected at a general election.

A Little UnpIeasantness.

Never in his life had Reddy Fox
visited Farmer Browns henhouse
with quite such comfortable feeling
as he now had He knew for a GER
tainty that Bowser the Hound was not
at home. He knew because he had
finally crept up and peeped in the door
of Bowser's little house. What had
become of Bowser he didn't know
and he didn't care. 1t was enough
to know thar he wasn't about.
Il hope Farmer Browns Boy has
forgotten to close that little door
way the hens run in and out of"
muttered Reddy, as he trotted across
! Farmer Browns dooryard. Once he
stopped and, looking up at the lighted
windows of the house, grinned. You
see, with Bowser gone, Reddy wasn't
the least bit afraid.
'If I can get into that henhouse,"
thought Reddy, II certainly will have
one gooc feast tonight. That is. l
will if those stupid hens are not
roosting SO high that can't get
them. I'll eat one right there
Reddy's mouth watered at the very
thought. Then I'll take one home
| TO Mrs. Reddy If there is time we
will both come back for a. couple
more"
! SO Reddy made pleasant plans as
; he approached Farmer Browns hem
house. When he reached it he
| paused to listen to certain sounds
| that came from within, certain fret
full little ciuckings. Reddy sat down
| for minute. with his tongue hang
| ing out and the water actually drip
ping from it. He could shut his
eyes and see those roosts with the
hens crowded together so that every
once in while one would be waken-
ed and fretfully protest against being
crowded so.
| But Reddy sat there only for a
| minute. He was too eager to find
out if it was going to be possible
to get inside that henhouse. Run
ming swiftly and cautiously past the
henhouse and along one side of the
| henyard. he peeped around the corner
to see if by any chance the yard gate
| had been left open His heart gave a
leap of JOY as he saw that the gate
was not quite closed. All he would
| have to do would be to push it and
enter.
Reddy turned the corner quickly.
| Just as he put up one paw to- push
the gate open low but decidedly
ugly growl made him jump back,
on end. His first thought was of
Bowser. 1t must be that Bowser had
returned! Believing in safety first,
RedGy did not stop to see who had
growled but ran swiftly a short dis
tance. Then he looked behind Over
at the gate of Farmer Browns hen
yard he could see a dark form. At
Bowser the Hound, for it had a bushy
tail, while Bowser's is smooth. Reddy
knew who it was. 1t was Old Man
Coyote.

OBJECTS TO ABOLITION
OF HOG PRICE POLICY

Frank S. Snyder. head Of tho food
administrations meat division, has
announced that despite a hog surplus
he will not recommend abandonment
of the price-agreement policy when
the hog committee meets January %
to consider the price for February.
The present surplus. Mr.. Snyder
predicted, would turn into a definite
deficit this year. He said the pendu-
lum would swing within three months
if Europe could get the money and
ships to take it's requirements
Under the price agreement policy
the basic price of hogs was maintains
ed in October at $3.50 and at $3.50
during the past three months. The
agreement Is fixed by a committee
composed of representatives of the
food administration, the Agricultural
Department, the packers and the pro-
ducers and commission men.

Curried Cau1ihower.

One cauliflower, two tablespoonfuis
of butter, one tablespoonful of chop
ped onion, two teaspoonfuls of flour,
one teaspoonful of curry powder, one
tablespoonful of chopped apple, one
gill of milk. one gill of water, one
teaspoonful of chutney and salt and
pepper. Boil the eaulifiower until
tender, but not broken, in boiling
salted water. Lift it out, drain
thoroughly and press lightly into a
neat, compact shape with a soft cloth.
While it is cooking prepare the curry
sauce. Melt the curry in saucepan,
add the onion and apple and fry them
good brown. When they are nearly
dark enough stir in the curry powder
and fry that also. This improves its
flavor. Pour in the milk and water
and stir the sauce until it boils. Add
the chutney and seasoning and let the
sauce simmer gently for fifteen
minutes. Place the cau1if1ower in a
hot dish and strain the sauce over.
Brown bread and butter is excellent
to accompany this dish.

1900 Fail to Return to School.

Basing figures on an approximate
enrolment Of the graded schools
$4,000 and in the high schools. $500
one may gain an understanding of the
proportional loss from the following
figures: During the summer of 1917 it
is estimated that 1000 pupils went
to work and failed to return to school
at the close of vacation.
1t is customary in our school system
to have a report card sent in stating
certain facts concerning every child
who leaves school and paying special
attention to those who leave school
TO go to work. During the regular
school session of 1918, $500 individual
cards were so filed. This should be
compared with 456 reports for the
previous year.

The students were urged to take
government positions and TO q certain
extent felt the patriotic call. Stu
dents also found many openings in
the business houses at far higher
rates of pay than heretofore. 1t was
not only that the business houses were
depleted of their regular force neces-
sary under normal conditions, but
they faced the requirement for addi-
tional help because of the tremendous
increase in population and the conse-
quent increase in retail business.
1t should also be stated that the
economic pressure in many home

GROSS SENROLLMENT Of
SCHOOLS GIVES INCREASE
Supt. Thurston, However, Explains
the Heavy Loss of Pupils Due
to Call to War Work.

The loss of pupils up to IA years of
age in the public schools of the Dis
trict. due to SO many having taken
temporary positions, was heavy, yet
the gross enrolment of the schools
in Washington showed at least nor
NAL increase. according to Supt. Err
nest J.. Thurston. writing in the cur
rent issue of School Life, a magazine
published by the Department of the
Interior
The school enrolment situation in
Washington during the war period is
explained in the following manner by
the superintendent:
The government departments grew
tremendously almost overnight and
developed a tremendous demand for
clerical help. The financial opportu-
nifty and the need for immediate help
both tended to draw into the govern
ment service host of people in the
local population. The experienced
employees of the business houses found
positions in the government service
and, as a result, left the business
houses of the city short handed
There resulted, therefore, a double de-
mand and opportunity which was felt
by the schools.
