Very often, however, faulty

the hardest truth for the person

how these same boys could be

from quantity; it is realized only

The boy in his teens also needs

A boy hungry enough to need

1t is very important that his

that he be encouraged to eat

CHAPTER XIII.

TN the previous chapter l gave
4 description of grouse hunting
in Scotland and what happiness
n was for me to be there on
the moors with Papa. In this
chapter I will continue to tell OF
this sport and particularly of one
occasion when we were lost in
the slouds.
In Scotland the weather is apt
to be rainy. The sun may shine
each day for a few hours, but 1t
Is safe to assume that there will
be a downpour before the twenty
four hours have elapsed. UP in
the mountains the clouds descend
very quickly and the climber is
apt to find himself suddenly sur

which it is impossible TO see
more than a foot or two in any
direction.

walking homeward, a hundred
yards or so behind the others.
He espied a wounded bird that
had been overlooked by the
beaters, and, turning to me, Papa
said: 1--WE must kill this Door
thing ad put it out of its
misery"
Our retriever. Baron, was close
on our heels, and Papa told him
to go and fetch the bird. Baron
obeyed, but although the bird
could not fly. 1t hobbled swiftly
over the ground, and it was sew
eral minutes before Baron caught
Il gently in his mouth and
brought it over to Papa who
wrung its neck.
BY this time the others were
well out Of sight. The soft mist
that had been falling all day was
getting thicker and thicker. We
were at the foot Of Chihalion. the
third highest mountain in Scot
land. I looked UP and noted that
not only was the peak invisible,
but that the sky seemed to have
descended to a few feet above
eur heads.

HOVER COUPLE
ON LONG TRIP
J. E. Cochran and Wife of
Hover Start on 6-Mo.
Journey Around q. S.

After 45 years spent in the west,
Mr.. and Mrs. j. E. Cochran, of How
er, this week left for their first visit
to their old home in Tennessee.
Unlike most of the modern travel
ers, the Cochrans will make the trip,
which will last some six months, by
train and boat, instead of by automo-
bile. Their journey will include stops
to visit relatives in Idaho and Da-
kota on their way to Knoxville, Ten
nessee.
After a time spent in their old
home town, Mr.. and Mrs. Cochran
will start on a pleasure trip to points
of interes in Florida, crossing over
to Cuba, thru the canal and leisurely
home up the west coast.
Mr.. Cochran expects to be highly
interested in various phases of his
trip and will write weekly letters 70
this paper about the things he sees
and hears. No doubt they will make
interesting reading to people in this
community.

HOUSE
IS NOW ASSURED
Commissioners Include Big
Item in Final Budget
Construction Soon

One hundred thousand dollars was
included in the capital outlay item
by the county commissioners at then
meeting this week when the final
budget for the coming year was
adopted.
This means that construction of 9
court house will be started as soon
as the money is available.
The building will be built upon
the property acquired some years
ago when the county purchased tri-
angular plot in the city Of .Prossel
known as the Rich place.
Tentative plans have already beer
drawn and the commissioners are
already busy preparing for the legal
preliminaries. The plans on hand cal
for reinforced concrete structure
succeed and sufficiently large to
take care Of the needs of the county
for twenty years at least.
Commissioner Briggs, from Kenne.
wick, voted against including the
item in the budget.

THOUSAND CARS
OUT THIS YEAR
Products of This Valley
Would Make Several
Whopping Big Trains

It is source of great encourage
ment to know that shipments of
home grown products have greatly
increased over 1924. Some 200 cars
of flour, 21 cars of pears, cars of
grapes, about the same of prunes, "a
of asparagus, probably 25 to 80 cars
of hay, upwards of $50 cars of apples
are calculated to cover this years
shipment in that lime.
Dairy products being more OF less
local shipments, the estimate is more
difficult, but it is known that ap-
proximately 500 cars Of cream are
shipped out per month. Had soft
fruits come up to normal, 1925 would
probably have beaten previous rec
ords. It is expected that the sweet
potato season will wind up with 20
cars or more.
These figures do not include the
express shipments, which would ma.
terially add to the totals in some
cases.

RUY BANK BLDG.
FOR CITY HALL
Council Considers Purchase
If Building at Foot of
Second Street

Mok;ng a city hall out of the
American Security Bank building is
~ latest proposition put up to the
.;tu A special meeting of the council
vas called yesterday afternoon to
consider the proposition and look
over the premises with a view to
hnvinp the property and the fixtures.
While no action, of course, could be
taken. it is understood that the COIN
c;,men favor the idea.
The building and fixtures can be
nurchased for about half the cost
If the erection of new building
snitable to the needs Of the town.
The location is much more desirable
for the purpose than the property
now owned by the city and the build
;nr could not be duplicated for twice
the amount of the tentative offer.
The fixtures that are in the bank
could be used by the city officers,
and are in fact much better than the
city could afford to install should
they be purchased new. Two fire.
uroof vaults would be included in the
deal, one housing the safety deposit
boxes. It is planned for the city to
take over the care of the deposit
boxes and rent them on the same
basis that the bank has been. This
would add to the city's revenue.
Another feature which should be
considered in the deal is the assist
ance given the bank in liquidating
the affairs Of the institution. The
purchase price would aid materially
b increasing the liquid assets of the
bank and would be of direct benefit
to the five or six hundred depositors
whose money is tied up.
At the next regular meeting Of the
council the matter will be presented
and definite price set upon the
property. If the council then cares to
90 further with it, special election
will be called and the matter sub
mitted to the wishes of the people.
