THE STORY OF HOW
BRICKS ARE MADE

Bricks are made out of clay.
Along by the roadside there are
men digging clay, the clay is put
into small car and 1t runs on
tracks until it gets to the brick
yards. There Is a shed and the
clay is taken in the shed. Then it
Is put into large mixing box and
then spray of water is constant
ly flowing upon the clay and large
knives mix the clay and water thor
oughly. Then it is put into molds,
each mold holds six bricks. Before
the bricks are put into the molds
they are sanded by machinery to
keep them from sticking to them.
After this Is done a man with a
trowel scrapes off any clay that
may be clinging to them, a second
man turns them upside down on
trays and puts them on small carts
and they are drawn to sheds. There
they are put upon frames or shelves
to dry. In about three or four days
they are dry enough to be taken to
kiln. They are built up so as to
leave cracks between them, then
heat is gradually turned on them.
In about eight or ten days the heat
is slowly turned off for the bricks
cannot be cooled off too quick, in
counting all it takes about two
weeks in drying the bricks.
The line bricks that we see in
front of fine houses are known as
pressed bricks. They are very eX-
pensive. That is the reason they
are seen in the front of them.
Henry Longfellow passed the early
part of his life in brick house,
and although 1t was not very large
it took almost two years in building
it.-Edith Warner. Starr school.

He soon became their dearest
I carried their milk in little can,
They all drank out of the same tin
When they all grew large enough
to eat meat and bread.
They all slept together in the same
old bed.
Ned had.a fight am sorry to say.
He made a bed In the barn on the
hay
Ned was ornery and very stuck up.
And too proud to sleep by the old
brown pup.
Ned was a very lazy cat
He slept all day on the old door mat
And Ted would watch night and
day
For rats and mice about the hay.
Ted and Ned are now full grown.
They keep me company when | am
alone
They play and run through the
grass and leaves
And play peek-a-b0o behind the
trees.

A WOODEN STORY

When the early settlers first
came to the Northeastern States
the first product sent to England
was lumber. There were large
racts of land coverd with forest in
Northern Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont and places south of these
are still covered with timber. Look
ing from the summit of Mount Kat,
ahdin one can see nothing but for
est.
The busiest season Is in the win
ter when the swamps are frozen
over and the rocks are covered
with snow so that the sleds can go
over the ground easily. 1t takes
about so men to manage a camp.
They go about chopping down the
marked trees.
Then the logs are put upon the
sleds and taken down to the river
or stream which is now brozen over
so the logs can be piled on the ice.
In the spring the logs and ice be-
gin floating toward the mill. This
is called a log drive Sometimes
a log gets caught and causes the
whole drive to stop, then the men
have to go out on the logs and re-
move the log that has caused the
trouble. After it has been removed
the logs 60 on toward the mill. This
called a log jam. After the logs
have reached the mill they are put
in different piles, each pile having
a different mark on the logs. The
logs are cut according to the marks
Numbering is an important indus
try.-Richard Brown, Starr school.

Our Writing Lesson

About two weeks ago Miss
Phelps came to give our room a
writing lesson; but, instead, she
printed "a Merry Christmas" on
the board, and printed it in Old
English lettering. She outlined
with red chalk, which made it
prettier
Some of the children tried to
print like she did, and put ON their
Christmas cards.-Stella Shares,

OUR VISITOR

One cold winter when we lived
in the country, a Cardinal roasted
on our porch. Sometimes when we
would feed the chickens, the winter
birds would come for something to
eat, and amoug them was Mr.. Car
dinal.
Winter passed and Mr.. Cardinal
found a new mate, and brought her
to our porch. He thought the
porch would be a good place to
build their nest.
Well" said Mrs. Cardinal, cts
too close to the house. and, any
way, | am afraid of the cats"
"Oh, no." answered her husband,
"just come and look how nice 1t is.
l roasted here all winter, and no
one bothered me-"
She nervously looked the place
over for day or two, but knew it
was too close to the house. Finally
Mrs. Cardinal had her way and
they built their nest in a bush
along the creek-Josephine Will

THE KIND OF HAT YOU SHOULD
WEAR

: When selecting your hats the same
rule and few more rules as for
gowns should be put into practice.
Don't believe everything the sales
woman tells you. Her conscience is
as elastic as her bargain prices Buy
what you like, not what she likes,
and you will be happy. I admit there
are saleswomen who take q real, per-
ysonal interest in their customers.
have met several. II was a pleasure
to know them. | think they are all
married now.
The style In hats is llmltless. Like
wise the variety. You may wear any
kind OF hat your fancy and the
shape Of your nose will permit
Watch your nose carefully when you
choose hat. Take a hand mirror
and study your profile. Don't select
a hat which accentuates the length OF
your nose II that feature Is too long
already.
It is always most attractive To
have your hats suit your gowns. A
touch OF the same color or material
Twill give an effect OF the hat having
Nbeen specially designed for wear with
"a particular costume. know one
woman who buys a feather, ribbon or
some bit of hat ornamentation every
time she buys a dress. Then, by
merely pinning on the hat trimming
she changes II daily and makes one
or two hats do duty, for large sup
ply of dresses. or course, she does
not use much trimming. Merely a
wing, a buckle, draped veil or ef-
fectiye wreath, spray or band OF rib
bon.' At bargain sale, when ostrich
feathers were popular, she selected a
white plume, wreath OF blue tips, a
cluster OF feathers in mode shades
and some dainty effects both In green
and rose color. She bought hats the
shape of which would permit quick
readjustment, one turned up at one
side, now dropping in Gainsborougb
effect, and again in poke shape.
When | asked II she bought new
hat each day she smiled demurely
and said
"0h, no; merely change the
feathers"
So this was one case where fine
feathers actually made fine bird.
That was the woman's name, by the
way, and she may have inherited her
fondness for plumage. At all events
her, method was good one, and
heartily recommend it to every wo-
man of moderate means, who desires
to appear smartly and suitably
gowned and crowned.

been under surveillance OF Deputy
sheriff Joe McMahan and the Med
ford police.
According to the story Of the at
tempted robbery of the Gold Hill
bank, the officials had been told that
the bank would be visited by robbers,
so watch was placed on the institu-

FARMERS COLLEGE
WEEK JUNE 1919

= w xNA4Ik tt3tG AO-lU
Oregon farmers week, since many
farmers have reported through the
county agricultural agents that they
want it then, will be held at the State
Agricultural College June 1919.
| The date was selected because 1t Is
q relatively slack season on the farm.
Roads are fine for motoring, and all
nature Is at her prime for travel and
eamping. 1t will give parents of grad
pates an opportunity to take in COM
mencement with formal graduation
exercises on Monday.
1t suits the college program OF
work, coming in between the regular
Ithree-term and summer session cal
endars, giving college, station and
extension staffs time for farm and
home problems
This short and snappy session of
the college will be in charge of DR..
"A. B. Cordley. dean of agriculture.
The whole college staff from "Prexie"
down, will join in making The stay of
the rural folk continuous round OF
profit and pleasure. Many hundreds
are expected to come and enjoy It.
Farmers having land to clear may
be able to get supply of picrlc acid
for explosives from the 12-mlllion-
pound surplus now held by the war
department. The state agricultural
college has been asked to consider
the distribution OF enough to last till
June. 1922. The acid Is said TO be a
safe and reliable explosive for land
clearing, and its cost to users will be
only the expense OF cartridges and
packing 1t. with freights and storage
charges. The college Is now at work
finding out what these will be. II the
plan Is feasible, distribution will be
undertaken, and It Is thought the
cost will be much lower than COM
mercial charges. II will be distrib.
uted through COUNTY agricultural
agents, Announcements will be made
later.
