Notice. School Patrons.

The Snyder schools are confronted
with the largest enrolment in the
history of our schools. We have
about 40 per cent larger enrolment
than last year. This being true, 1t is
necessary to make some changes in
the teaching forces during the COM
ing term, and after much study by
the board of trustees we have de-
cided that iii necessary to have the
9th and 18th grades in the Ward
buildings. We realize that this will
Inconvenience some of the pupils, but
under the circumstances we have
been unable to find better solution
of the crowded condition OF the
schools.
The high school pupils will report
at the Central building as heretofore.
The first, sec6nd. third. fourth and
fifth grades will be taught in all the
buildings as heretofore, and the lines
dividing these grades Will remain as
last year The sixth and seventh
grades will be taught in the Ward
building and the following lines Will
designate the division between the
two wards:
Commencing on the north line OF
the district where Deep Creek enters
the district; thence along the said
Deep Creek to Borden street; thence
east along said Borden street to Scar

Plaid Ave. to the n. f. corner of the
Gay McGlaun residence; thence south
along the street between the original

thence S. f. along the said railroad
to the east line of the school district.
All pupils in the 9th and eth
grades living west and south of above

 So off he ran for home, and when he reached the barn there was Mir. Pup py's mother, and he had just time to slip into his hole before she caught him.
 Mr. Young Rat got good scoldlng from his mother when he tumbled into the house for letting Mrs. Dog see where he lived, and Mir. Puppy was we'll scolded by his mother for bark. ing and playing when he should have caught Mir. Rat.
 The next day when Mir. Young Rat poked his nose out just to take look around, Mir Puppy spied him. Come out here and let me catch you" he said.

 You never will see me asleep again. said Mir. Puppy, jumping at the tip of Mir. Rats nose, which he missed.

mand upon the forests, the report points out. The situation In Califor- mia Is cited as an example. That state has been an important source of ex- port material from the earliest days. Large quantities of lumber are still ex- ported from it to the east and to for eign countries, but the states popula- tion and agricultural and industrial development have more than kept pace with the output of lumber, so that 1t is doubtful whether production has exceeded consumption since about 1875. "The per capita lumber cut of the state has been approximately equal or slightly in excess of the av- craze per capita consumption ot the United States since between 1869 and 1879. while the average consumption of the state is probably somewhat greater than for the country as whole" the report says. Tn 1el9, southern California alone used the equivalent of about one-half the total cut of the state, a per capita consump- tion of St least twice that of the whole United States"
 Bio Increase In Cut.
 It can be expected, according to the report. that the lumber cut for the Pa clfic coast states as a whole will in- crease very materially during the next ten years. It says: "A gradual rise in logging costs Is inevitable as the more accessible stands are cut, and 1t becomes necessary to extend opera tions to the more mountainous logging chances. The timber resources Of the Pacific coast states are very large. but it would beAvery unwise to overesti- mate them. for much less than the to- tai stand Is readily available. Exist ing transportation facilities to the east are already overburdened with pres ept traffic, and they will have to he very materially increased to meet the probable reduction in eastern and southern lumber cut during the next ten years.
 Although the Pacific coast states have large amounts of timber, the re- port points out that they will be called on to supply increasing amounts of lumber for the whole country. The danger is that. like other forested re- gions, they will be considered "inex- haustibIe" until 1t Is too late. While the government has established num- Der of national forests in these states which are devoted to growing timber, other measures are necessary to pre- vent depletion of the Pacific coast for ests.

provements, rapid depreciation of in- vestments, and other losses which the industry, the community. and the con sumer must shoulder"
 Being Cut Rapidly.
 The timber stand in California Is be- ing cut at the rate of about 1,500,O0O,- : GOO feet annually. Practically all of the cut, up to the present time, has been in the most accessible stands, whereas a considerable part of the re- maining timber is comparatively in- accessible" the report says. Logging operations are removing annually a little less than per cent of western Washington's and less than 1 per cent of western Oregon's timber Yet the reasonably accessible timber and that in private ownership is going very much faster; and. with decreasing southern pine production, enormous pressure to increase the cut may be expected"
 AS an example, the situation in Gray's Harbor county is cited: About 20 years ago there were in this coun- ty 750,000 acres of timber and only about 75,000 acres of cuttings Now there are 355,000 acres of stumps. One-sixteenth of the county's private timber land is being cut over annually. In 25 years the supply of privately owned virgin timber will be gone."
 It has been found that in western Washington about 85,000 acres annual ly, and in eastern Washington 5000 acres annually were cut over from 1909 to 1919 All things considered. 1t Is expected by an authority on the lum- Der supplies of Washington that the privately-owned virgin timber supply of the state will be virtually gone in 20 years unless forest policies are changed.
 Local Consumption a Factor.
 Forest depletion In Washington has proceeded much further than in Ore gon, the report says; and while an ex- pansion of the industry in Washing ion under the increased demands from eastern markets may reasonably be expected, by far the greater part of the expansion may be looked for in Oregon. "The reason for the slower development in Oregon lies in the in- accessibility of its Douglas fir stands. Many operations now being seriously considered for Oregon will require transportation and other Investments running into the millions of dollars be- fore any timber can be taken"
 Local consumption must be taken into account in considering the de-

 The face should not be steamed more than twice week and them gently, for about ten minutes. If the skin is muddy or blotchy massage with healing cream into the open pores is advisable, but If, as in Robertn's case, only the fineness of the skin is desired, the face should be wiped off with a soft cloth, to remove the oil steamed out of the pores, then 1t should be rinsed in cool water to close

NOW Mir. Rat was rather young W and he did not know that he should look well around before he ran out of his home under the barn floor in the daytime.
 And Mir. Puppy was also young and he did not know that when he saw a rat he should not begin to bark and jump about.
 One morning when Mir. Puppy was asleep on the floor of the barn near the door he happened to open one eye suddenly. and there in the corner of the barn was Mir. Young Rat, nibbllng corn.
 Up jumped Mir. Puppy and parked jumping abouts on his little legs as though he were standing on hot coals
