Education Pays

Here are some statistical facts that
every boy or girl who expects to make
success in life. They show that with
out education people in this age
stand very poor show.
During the first hundred years of
our history, not more than thirty of
it's ten thousand men who rose to
prominence were self taught; that a
boy with only grammar school edu-
cation had one chance in nine thol-
sand of reaching distinction.
A boy with high school training
has one chance in four hundred; that
is, he has twenty-five times the op-
portunity of the boy who stopped with
the eighth grade.
At 25 years of age. the high school
graduate has earned an average Of
$500 more than the eighth grade
graduate. Statistics show that each
day spent in high school is worth ten
dollars to the pupil, which is only q
small part of the real benefit of a
high school education.
Here is the outstanding lesson; The
difference to your child betwee1l an
eighth grade and high school educa-
tion is the difference between a life
of drudgery and one of opportunity
and advancement, for that child.
Parents need not worry about their
childrens progress in high school.
They'll work hard and get all the
learning the high school offers. They
only want the opportunity, and you
can give them that by seeing that
they go through high school.-Deary

Loosening Wool

"One of the easiest methods of
loosening wool from the pelt is by us
ing a lime water solution" says Prof.
H. Hackedorn, head of the animal
husbandry department of the State
College of Washington. replying to
the query of Hampton, Ore sheep
raiser.
Make saturated solution, allow
the lime to settle, pour off the clear
liquid ard soak the pelt in it till the
wool loosens You will get better re-
suits if you use warm water.
eff you have ouly a small amount
of wool to wash, l suggest that you
make strong solution of common
laundry soap and water, and wash
wool much as you would clothing
l have known some people to use q
washing machine, and they stated
that it was very satisfactory. Hot
water will work much more salts
factorily than cold. After washing
the wool in the soap solution, rims,

Killed Black Bear

Claud Stanton and Chauncy Comp
ton, while out bird hunting last
Saturday IN the Pine Creek country,
shot black bear weighing $50
pounds. The dogs treed the bear
near AL McKee's orchard, about
five miles from town. CIaud had
shotgun and Chauncy. a 20 caliber
rifle. Chauncy shot the bear as
soon as the dogs had treed it, and
the animal finding it had climbed
into uncomfortable quarters, went
down the tree but was put up an
other one ty the dogs. A couple
more shots from the little rife start
ed the bear down again and as 1T
was nearing the ground, Claud gave
1t two loads Of bird shot. The bear
tried to get away but the boys
found 1t dead IN the brush near
where the last shots had been fired.
While SHINING 1t they found one
.22 bullet IN its heart and birdshot
IN its liver, SO 1t is believed the
honor of killing 1t falls between
the boys equally.

The Family Auto"

The total registration of motor cars
in the United States on July 1, 1922,
amounted to 10,S45,OOO compared
with 9,413,O0O, one year before. Total
world registrations are estimated at
100000.
In other words the United States
alone has over five times as many
automobiles as all the rest of the
world combined.
If for no other reason, these figures
alone show why the United States
should maintain its dominant posi-
tion in the oil industry.
If it had not been for the initiative
and enterprise Of American oil pros.
pectors and producers, one person
out of every 10 in the United State.
could not own an automobile toda,
nor could American automobile man
ufacturers be turning out about $3.50,
900 cars and trucks for 1922.

NEWS NOTES FROM
KENDR|Ck SCHOOLS
Events of Interest to School
Patrons

The question Of putting out High
School annual is being seriously
considered by the High School stu
dents. This Is something new for
our school, and much enthusiasm IS
being shown by the students. A
committee has been appointed to
investigate and find out the ap-
proxlmate cost of an annual, also to
f1nd out what attitude the business
men have toward it. Atterthis COM
mittee has reported 1t will be voted
on by students.
At the last meeting OF the Stu
dent Body an Atheletic Council was
appointend to serve during the COM
ing Basket Bell season. Those ap-
pointed by the president were as
follows: Students: Egnaz tlalg,
Frank Brooke, Audrey Stanton,
Nora Cox, Faculty members; Miss
Whitney and Mr.. Strauch.
The entire High School is exceed
lnglv proud OF her famous "bear
hunters. When a couple of boys
go out hunting for bear with only
a twenty-five rifle, a shotgun and
couple of dogs, we feel that it is
indeed worthy of mention, to say
the least, for many more experience
ed hunters are afraid to tackle a
bear with such small arms.
The fifth and sixth grade enjoyed
watermelon and marshmalIow
party at the shooting grounds Tues
day evening.
