Improve Heating Plant.

At the school board meeting Mon
| DAY evening an order was made
authorizing John Papendick to
complete installation Of pipes to
conduct hot water from the radiators
to the boilers to be converted back
into steam. Owing to a defect 10 the
heating plant it has been necessary to
to waste the hot water that had to be
drained out of the radiators where it
interfered with the live steam, and
cold water had to kept running into
the boilers to take the place of the
hot water lost. Under the new plan
the drainage water is saved and gets
back into the boilers, almost at the
boiling point. A five per cent saving
in fuel is estimated by Mr.. Papendick,
who has already tried out the plan on
three radiators. Less steam pressure
is required to get results. The cost
of installing the drain pipes is
estimated at $3.50.
The board gave It's sanction to the
plan suggested by Sup't Shern for
declamatory contest 10 which
students of Post Falls and Rathdrum
high schools are to compete for gold,
silver and bronze medals offered by
Mr.. Shern for first, second and third |
prizes. A small admission is to be
Charged do defray the expenses of the |
contest.
A petition from students asking
FOR two weeks vacation for the |
holidays was laid on the table.

 Dan was a boy of fortune, He was very smart and kind. His father was dead and his mother very poor. She got so poor that she told Dan he would have to go to work. So one day he went out to find q job. As he was going down the street MT. Smith called to him. Come here, Dan,' he called. When Dan got to~-him he said. Do you want a job?" Dan was delighted and he said yes. MT. Smith told him to come the next morning. Dan was up at six the next morning
 He had his face washed and this hair combed. Then he ate his break fast and started. When he got to the | store the first thing to do was to go to MT. Browns with groceries. He had to go by a pond. When he went over he heard voice of a child. He | did not stop, but kept on going. When l he came back he heard the same cry ! So he went over to see what was the matter. When he arrived he saw MT | Browns boy struggling. Without stopping to think he jumped in after him. He got hold of him and tried , to pull him out. but it was in vain, for every time he tried the boy would pull him under. After trying for a

St. Valentines Day.

Dear Uncle Jed: It's so long since I've written to the Wide Awakes that I thought would write you about St, Val entine's day.
 We celebrate it on Feb. 14th. We re- cefye the name Valentine from a kind Christian monk who was the friend of youth and who loved all u little chil- dren. Valentine day also dates back to the old Roman days. In those times the people would have a great feast, to which all, especially the young, were invited. After the feast they played many games one of them being similar 10 our valen- tine box.
 In this box were placed the names of all the maidens. The young men drew out the names and each must be true and loyal. knight to the young woman whose name he drew.
 i We send valentints now to those VI ! love and on these there is generally ar emblem of love and fidelity We have the cooing dove, the rase and myrtle, al 1 symbols of love and beauty; also Cupit with his bow and culver full of arrow. with which to pierce the hearts of tn, young.

Dear, Uncle Jed: This is the first time I have written to the Wide Awake Circle, although have read all the stories and letters.

 baby, but told her that Jesus would repay her some time for taking care oi it.

Born Co proud freedom, Endowed with grace which deef alona

 ment of your birthzsght they withheld But one generous morning brouEht yoH Faint odors Of rain-wet woods And calls of swift far-hying birds With quick flashes of sunshiner Shifted their places High beyond the topmott green That made the trees seem miracles d You stood with every sense alert, Your energies and longings All pulling to be freed

 And you had sprung Against the highest wires tkAt fenced you in. And they killed you. | Unworthy as they were To meet you as an honorable foe. l-Catherine Cranmer, in the Kansas City |

The ooeoanut Palm.

Dear Uncle Jed: This is the first time have written you letter. But I have read the letters in the Wide-Awake Cir cla I will tell you a story about the CO.,
 coanut palm which is found chiefly on
 the islands of the Indian and Pacific
 oceans and in South America. It has no
 branches, but at the top is crown of fifteen or twenty long feathe r-like leaves.
 under which the nuts hang in punches.
 Each nut is enclosed in thick, soft husk; the she'll of the nut is very hard. The pulp is good for eating, and the old nuts produce cccoanut oil. The trunk of the tree furnishes canoes, posts and rafters for houses and fences.
 The young leaves are cooked and eaten l like cabbage, although the old leaves are
 made into cloths, hats, baskets, lanterns fish nets, writing paper, and many other things. When burned, the leaves and wood furnish potash for soap.

 There was no time to think; the shock and scare were too great. I just gasped. "Hoowf" was heard again. He was startled as well as l.. There was no snarl or growl, only intense wonder and ques- tioning in the look which-he fastened upon my face. I was doing a lot of thinking. It was clear to me that there was no way of escape. thought I must go on or turn back. But if turned back he would follow me, growing bolder as he came on. looked steadily at him, until all at once I noticed he began to lose his intentness. My hand slipped back and caught hold of large branch of tree, I advanced a step or two towards him. still looking at him steadily. He turned his head to look back over the way he had come.

A Christmas surprise Party.

Dear Uncle Jed: am going to tell you aboutfmy party on Dec. 25, 1920. I had many friends at my home.
 It was a very cold winter day when mother told me to put, on my new serge dress, as she was expecting company.
 When I was all dressed she told me to go to the front door, as she thought she heard the bell ring. When opened the parlor door was surprised to see many of my friends waiting for me in the par Tor. H
 I was very glad to zee them there, for then I knew was going to have a party. We then played many games such as hide the thimble, thread the needle. for tune teller. and kl.s. the pillow.
 The party did not end until 8 o'clock. We had a very pleasant time. When the clock struck they were on their way home. When it struck they were fast asleep in Dreamland. CHARLENA SWANSON. Willimantic.

UNCLE JED's TALK TO WIDE
 AWAKEs.

How many of the Wide-Awakes have a hobby? A hobby as you know Is some thing in which you show keen interest outside of your regular duties. There are . great many people who have hob bies devoting to them much of their spare time and deriving much pleasure from them.
 Boys and girls are apt to be interested h many things. Being anxious to learn h Is quite natural to dig into subjects and 10 ask questions about things which s5cite curiosity. But there is also the de. sire to accomplish something, to have something to show as the result of theil efforts and this Is shown in handiworl with tools of various kinds, amateur pho. tography,N good books, sketching, paint ing. making collections of great number Of things. such as flowers, autographs stamps. minerals. different kinds of wood shells. coins. butterflies and beetles keeping records of birds, performing ex periments of, different kinds and whiI, keeping the hands and the mind bus, also getting much of value In an educa t!onai way. .~~
 Having a hobby doesn't mean that tn, boys and girls are not interested in play Ing and having good times, Far from il They do not devote all their time t sheir hobbies. They have their fun bu through the things they are especiall, interested in managing to get pleasure 0 different kind from making their col actions or doing other things when it 1 lot possible to engage in their games.
 And such show of interest in the wid Eariety of things possible, accompanie ey a display thereof invariably result sn the awakening of companions to siini lar efforts
 Having q hobby is an excellent thinI T. is educational. serves to pass the tim pleasantly and profitably, and t isn't nt eessary to pursue it except when you fe, the desire. Riding a hobby is somethin Ike riding a bicycle It Is little har to get started but after you get going 1T faster you get along the. better you lii | and progress depends largely on vol 5En push.

 It is the kind deeds you have done in your life, unselfElnesE, honesty and generosity. .-ss ss ...-..,.,.-,--.
 One who hasn't this little passport cannot pass and travel safely on this good and right road.
 There is also little door-keeper al the mouth of the, bad road. He requires the passport, which is, unkindness, self isness disloyalty and dishonesty. Many who travel on the bad road, dc So because they wantsto. No one has te live ones life on the bad road, unles. they want to.
