SM|TH-HUGHES COURSE
IS REORGAN|zED FOR
LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL
Conference Effects Change by
Which General Industrial
Training Will Supplant For
mer Trade Unit System.

Reorga nization of the Smith Hughes
Industrial courses at Pendleton high
school so as TO permit students desir-
ing to graduate to take this work. has
been effected. A recent conference
was held here between local officials
and f. E Elliott, state director of vo-
cational education, and Frank Shep-
herd, supervisor of trades and indus
tries at o. A. c., which resulted in the
new order.
A general Industrial course will sup
plant the old trade unit course former
II given. Under the new system a
student may spend his half day in one
of the two branches of work offered
qnd the other half pursuing high
school subjects emitting him to grad
uate. Formerly the course required
full time in the gas engine and tractor
work with study on related subjects.
No provision was made for graduation
under the old course with credits per-
mitting college entrance.
Building trades and metal trades
are available under the new system.
The subjects offered are designed to
give a student such instruction that he
might meet and solve any problem
which would arise on a farm and also
serve as a good basis for the college
engineering courses.
The reorganization was made neces-
sary because of dissatisfaction over the
oonfining nature of the old course.
Efforts were made in the change to
give opportunity for Industrial educa-
ton to a larger number of boys, to
broaden the course of study and to
effect economy. The third point is
carried by belief that more students
will enroll. thus lowering the per
capita cost. Last spring no boys took
the work, owing to its restrictions.
Orville Reeves, manual training
teacher last year, will supervise the
rew. smith Hughes course. assisted by
Roy Hammersley. graduate of o. A.
c. in mechanical engineering Both
are experienced men. MIR. Hammers
ley has been operating a foundry here
but will be building superintendent
for the local schools and give part
time to practical instructions. He Is
a specialist in foundry and metal
working methods.

| Nine cases of Canadian whiskey
bearing old familiar names and labels
repose in the sheriff's office today in
stead of in the hands of bootIeggers
The liquor, which has earmarks OF
being genuine, was taken last evening
in car left at local garage. At pres
ent prices the haul is worth $4,000 re-
tail.
The owner or owners of the liquor
were not taken and the sheriff has
virtually despaired of capturing the
man now that he has not the goods on
MIN. The auto, Premier bearing
Washington license. was confiscated.
It has not been called for by the driv-
er.
Labels on the cases indicate that
some of the liquor has been ageing
since 1908, while others give the date
of 1912. Several varieties are in
cluded and bear the names of various
Canadian firms.
While some are inclined to the be-
lief that the labels are counterfeited,
Sheriff Taylor believes the haul in
cludes real old Canadian liquor. There
are los quart bottles in all and the Ii
quor probably Will be destroyed If no
one is arrested against whom it can
be used as evidence
Efforts today are being made to as
certain to whom the car belongs. 1t
is not thought that it was stolen and
the sheriff scouts the theory that the
bootleggers might be the same per-

MILL WORKERS BUY
THROUGH new PLAN

Lawrence, Mass, March 81. N.
S.)-~Mill workers here are able to
buy the necessaries of life at a great
ly reduced figure at cooperative
store which has been started by the
American Wooden Company.
This unique project has not reached
the stage of perfection yet. For the
present, section hands in each mill
visit the various rooms in the NORM
ings taking orders from the workers
who wish to make purchases The
orders are turned In at the co-opera-
tive store. At the end of the days
work the purchasers call at the store
for their bundles and pay for the
goods.
Among the goods being sold are
groceries, canned goods, underwear,
sweaters. shoes and other neces-
saries. After time Il Is hoped that
an automobile truck will make the
deliveries.
All the work connected with the
store Is done In n section of the new
wooden storehouse on Canal street.
Quite a large amount OF merchandise
Is handled there weekly. The output
liz expected to double when the work.
ers find they do not have to carry the
goods home themselves, but have 1t
delivered by auto truck.
Apparently the only merchants
which the operation of the mill store
has affected are the "neighborhood
stores and the smaller dealers In
the foreign quarters. Many of the
latter have been hard hit. The de-
partment stores and those establish
ments in the business district of this
city say the new mill cooperative
store plan has not had any effect on
their business,
The cooperative store was started
In an effort to combat the profiteer-
ers who had been getting most of the
money from the pay envelopes of the
mill workers.

For Chapped Hands
! Mentha-S oothaline
| Try This Lovely Cream for Rough,
| Chapped Hands and Skin, It's
Wonderful Costs few Cents.

AT this time of the year especi-
ally, we are all apt to be annoyed
with chapped hands. The fact
that the hands are in and out Of
water-frst hot and then ex-
sremely cold, so much of the time,
tends to dry out the natural oil of
the skin causing them to become
parched. For this verytreason it
is quite necessary that they have
some extra oil supplied them.
The best way to again make the
skin lovely, smooth and beautiful
is by rubbing into it little
MISUNDERSTANDING each night for
q while. This MISUNDERSTANDING
Is prepared by the famous DR..
Pierce of Buffalo, n. Y, known by
thousands of men and women all
over the world. His great repu-
sation and favor is in itself con-
vincing evidence that this prepa-
ration is one of considerable merit.
Most any reliable druggist will
furnish you a large jar of Mentha-
SoothaIine at a trihing cost. Due
to the large demand for the prepa-
ration, should your druggist be
out of it, send 60c to DIR. Pierce,s
InvaIids' Hotel, Buffalo, n. Y.
Misunderstanding is also good
for parched and cracked lips.
