GARDENING WITH GARDEN
TRACTORS

"The advantage of garden tractor
work comes under the same head as
all. other tractor labor-savers," says
A. j. Piper, an extensive grower of
onions and onion sets. writing in the
Fruit Belt.
"You can do the same work and bet
ter work that would require several
men to do by hand in the same length
of time, which makes the labor saved
the big item, and especially is this SO
at the present price of labor and with
the difficulty of obtaining satisfac-
tory labor at all for that kind Of
work"

WHY DO you ATTEND SCHOOL

Why do boys and girls go to school? ?
Is it because the law says so? =
it because it is habit? Is it be-
cause there is no other place to
which they may go? Or is there
real, inherent reason for their at
tendance upon the public school? OF
course the public schools stand as
the educational industry of the
country. Boys and girls want to
receive an education. Thru the
agency of the public schools our
boys and girls are to be fitted to be-
come the citizens of the future. They
must be our successors. Many mo-
tives may actuate their attendance.
1t is my purpose to point out one or
two things that help in making good
citizens and good workmen, in indus
try. One is "be at your work every
day" The other is it's complement
be there on time."
How long would person remain
in an industrial or mercantile plant
if he took it upon himself to stay
away from work every time he felt
so inclined? The business and in
dustrial wrolds recognize only one
or two reasons for absence from duty
These are illness or the coming of
the grim reaper, death, in the fam
lily. We are preparing your boys
and girls for their places in the
world. Let them get the habit of
regularity and punctuality while
in school.
Absence from work in the world
causes them to lose out in the amount
produced as well as in the payment re-
ceived. It is just as true in the
school. Absence causes them to
fall behind and may be large factor
in their failure to receive credit at
the close Of the year or semester.
Just as hardness causes disruption
of work in any plant, so it causes
disruption Of the work in school.
1t is true that the regularity cf the
students has increased. 1t is also
true that the hardness has diminish
ed. But there is still room for i'm
provement.
You parents can be of a real help
in this matter. You can see to it that
your boy or girl not only starts on
time, but starts every day.
The schools are part of the COM
munity. They offer the boy or girl
the very best job he will ever have.
Help US to give him the entire COM
pensation due him by sending him to
school every day and have him here
on time.
Will you do your part? We shall
do our part. Report cards were is
sued this week. / hope each parent
will ask for the pupils card. Check
it over, then sign it and return it to
US thru the pupil. Your signature
does not mean that you approve Of
the card, it means that you have
seen it. The superintendent or any
teacher will be glad to talk to you
in regard to the work or attendance
of your child.
Let us all get together and push
for the schools of Washburn.
Very truly yours,
TT T. WIZ KTNJC

Tongues Of Flame Leap From
Aaron Cole Residence in
Early Morning and 0CCu-
pants SCurry to Safety.
PASSERBY GIVES ALARM
FROM BOX IA, NEARBY
Department Finds Hardest Job
Since Troy Laundry Burned
and Chief BIames Faulty
Construction for Delay.

Flames that defied Pendleton's fire
department for an hour this morning
consumed the upper portion OF Aaron
Coles dwelling at East Alta and
Thompson streets and brought occu-
pants scuTrying from warm beds with
barely time TO save n few articles OF
clothing. Either a faulty gas stove or
gasoline heater is believed by Chief
w. II Rlngold to have been respon-
sible for the blaze.
The alarm was turned in at G:55 o..
m. from box IA, on the opposite cor
ner. A man passing By saw flames
leaping from the roof and windows on
the south side OF the dwelling and
turned In an alarm. The department,
with only two blocks 10 90, was on the
scene moment later
Water was being Played on the rag
ing blaze within two minutes. The old
structure burned liks tinGer and the
fire fighters were unable to get the
demon fire under control for fully IS
minutes. More than an hour elapsed
before the last spark was extinguished.
Construction Declared Faulty.
Every time we sent stream OF wa
ter through an opening In the exterior
II struck a wall" Chief Ringold said
after the fire "1'he old house has
been altered and rebuilt so many times
that IL was a puzzle 10 locate an open
ing where the water could reach the
heart OF the fire. Had the place been
build along any common plan the fire
would not have been so stubborn to
combat"
The house, beside being used as a
residence by the owner. is divided in
70 apartments Occupants OF these
barely had time TO put on clothing and
leave the building after the blaze was
found. II was thought for time that
not all persons In the building had
made safe exit until man for whom
some were looking reported to the
flremen that he was safe.
Worst Since Troy Laundry Fire.
1T was the hardest fire TO combat
since the Troy Laundry burned in
September, 1919" the fire chief said.
1T probably will be the most costly
one since that time. too. although |
cannot make an estimate OF the loss.
Mr.. Cole left the place after the fire
and have not had chance to con-
fer with him."
The house is an old one and once
before suffered from fireand was re-
built. 1t has been owned by the pres
ent proprietor for about two years.
