years ago were repeated. Beneath an
arch of daffodils and narcissus, stood
the happy pair, accompanied by two
of the great grandchildren. Frances

SCHOOL DIRECTORS
COUNTY INSTITUTE.

An Institute for School Directors
Of Chelan County has been called to
meet in the Commercial Club Rooms.
Wenatchee, for one day. beginning at
9 O'Clock a. M, on Friday April 9th
The instructors for the Institute
will be President \. D. Showater of
the Cheney Normal and Mr. A. s.
Burrows, County Superintendent of
King county. Probably no two men
in the state are better qualified to
counsel with the directors than these
two. Both are school men of lifelong
experience and they have dealt with
the various problems of school work
from every angle.
The present is critical time for
the schools of the county and every
school director has a greater respor-
sibility than usual resting upon n4a.
This institute should give him an op-
portunity to broaden his knowledge
of present day school problems ana
to become a more efficient director.
1t is hoped that every school direc-
tor in Chean county will make d
special effort to be present during
the whole time of the Institute.

GAME BIRDS IN CHELA\
COUNTY ARE NUMEROUS.
Hungarian Partridges and China
Pheasants Have Greatly Increased
In Numbers.

Sportsmen who have investigated
the local game situation claim that
the county is full of Hungarian part
ridges. and that unless something
unforeseen happens there will be the
biggest crop of these birds this sea-
son that there has ever been There
are also great numbers of China
pheasants.
The game birds have come through
the winter in excellent shape. the
weather having been especially fa-
vorable to the birds, except for the
first cold snap when a few were
frozen. 1t is believed by sportsmen in
the county that there is a pair Of
nesting Hungarian partridges for
every cultivated ten-acre tract in the
county. but there are only a few
prairie chicken. or sharp-tail grouse
and scarcely any sage hens left in the
county. These are protected by law.
there being no open season.
The game laws in Chelan county
are observed by all people probably
as we'll and better than any other
county in the state. And for this the
farmers and fruit growers deserve
special credit. The harmony in the
relations Of the farmers and the
sportsmen in the work of preserving
the game, has not only brought
splendid results, but has also pleased
the state game commission i'm
mensely.
