Graduation Exercises
Of Coulee Schools

Coulee has always been proud
of it's schools. and Of the young
men and women who have COM
pleted the course here and have
gone to higher institutions of
learning, or out to battle with
the world. Class plays and other
events during the year always
bring a large attendance, while
the whole community turns out
for the various programs that
mark the close of the year.
This year, a class of nine, five
young ladies and four young
men, completed the course and
received their diplomas. This
was as large a class as has ever
finished in one year. though this
number has been equaled once
or twice before. The graduation
exercises were held Thursday
evening of last week at the
Gregg hall. A piano solo by
Miss Mildred Bogart, invocation
by Rev. Howell, song by the
girls chorus, preceded the ad-
dress of the evening, which was
given by Rev. Killian of Daven-
port. His address was one that
was thoroughly enjoyed by not
only the class, but by the whole
audience, full Of good advice,
and of suggestions regarding the
development of character. One
expression will give the keynote
of the address and of it's appeal
for higher and better life; "a
man should be judged, not by
what he is and does, but by what
he might have been and might
have done.''
The Juniors made the presen.
tation of flowers, after which
Supt. Murray, in a brief talk pre-
sented the members of the class
with their diplomas, after which
they received the congratulations
of their many friends.
Several of this class plan to
attend higher institutions Of
learning next year, and of this
the Dispatch will have more to
say later.

Coulee Wins Another
Ephrata Is Shut Out

The Coulee ball team, with
about twenty cars Of enthusiastic
boosters, went to Ephrata Sun
day, and for the third successive
game, Coulee won without allow
ing their opponents to cross the
home plate. They made seven
runs.
The game was hotly con-
tested all the way, the Ephrata
team putting up a splendid game.
and there were several occasions
when it seemed that they should
get a run over, but were unable
to do so. Their pitcher had a
total of thirteen strike outs to
his credit, while Rinker for
Coulee, had twelve. Rinker
allowed but four hits while seven
Coulee batters hit safely. The
Coulee hits were punched, how
ever, and resulted in three runs
in the third, three more in the
seventh and one in the eighth.
Saturday is Memorial Day, and
the Spokane Hdw. team is to be
here for that day and Sunday.
The locals have been playing in
great form so far this season,
and hope at least to break even
with this strong team, which
defeated them in two close
games last summer. The games
will be called at 2:30, and as the
stores are to close for the after
noon, everybody should get out
and see the Saturday game.

They may also be poisoned with
sodium arsente and bran or saw
dust mixture. 1t takes little
time to prepare for a hopper
campaign so we should be ready
if one is to be organized.
Mr.. Spuhler of the State Col
lege Entomology Department,
and Mr.. Garrison of the Cyanide
Chemical Company, spent day
with the County Agent putting
out some tests to kill grasshop-
pers. The Cyanide can be used
to kill them while they are con-
centrated but when these get
scattered to the fields it will take
perhaps tons of poisoned bait to
kill them.

HIGH SCHOOL PICNIC
BY One Of the Seniors

Eight cars and a truck load of
happy young people left about
ten O'Clock Friday morning for
the picnic grounds in Northrup's
Canyon, arriving there about
noon. After partaking of an
excellent lunch, amusements of
various kinds were INDUCED in
for the rest Of the day, and we
arrived home at six o'clock, tired
but happy. 1t was a most en-
joyable day for all, but most of
all for the seniors, who realized
that it was the last high school
picnic they would have chance
to go to, so that there was also a
shade of sadness for them.
Some slight mishaps occurred,
such as running out of gas, but
these were too insignificant to
mar the pleasure of the day.

Rural Residents Live Longer

Rural residents of Washington
are longer lived than their CITY
brother, according to the Sears
Roebuck Agricultural Founda-
ton. There are fully IL per
cent more deaths per hundred
thousand population in the larger
cities than in places having less
than 10000 people.
Analysis Of mortality statistics
for Washington brings to light
some interesting facts concer-
ming the health Of both the city
man and the small town resident,
says the Foundation. There are
more than twice the number of
deaths from appendicitis in the
cities than occur in the rural dis
tricts. Neither cancor nor dia-
betes are as deadly in the open
spaces as they are to residents of
cities, and pneumonia does not
take it's toll in the rural districts
to the same extent as in the cit
les. Deaths from heart disease.
too, are much more common in
the cities.
Death by suicide is a much
more frequent occurrence in the
city than in the smaller places.
On the other hand. typhoid is
found to take a heavier toll in
the more isolated regions, per-
haps because Of lack of hygienic
conditions and the difficulty of
ready medical aid. Influenza,
too, is a greater menace in the
country than in the city, and
strangely enough, the tubercu-
losis rate is much higher in the
smaller places than in the larger,
the study brings out.
The lower death rate of the
rural sections of the state as
compared to the cities is no
doubt due in a large measure to
the more normal, natural life
that the rural resident leads as
compared to the man in the
large cities, states the Founda-
ton. And it is especially re-
markable in that only three per
cent of the country's rural resi-
dents are estimated to observe
the fundamentals Of health in
the disposal of their sewage and
the safeguarding of their drink
ing wather supply. AS rural
health work is expanded, a big

change may be looked for in the
prevention of premature death
and human illness as we'll as

Device Clears Spray
From Ships Lookout

One of the most responsible posi-
tons in the world is that of the man
on the bridge directing the course OF
a great ship. For him, clear, certain
and unobstructed vision is imperative
at all times, and especially so in a
driving storm when sight is most difi-
cult. His eyes must be protected as
he looks out, and clear sheet of glass
ia the obvious suggestion. But rain
and spray and snow drive against the
glass and accumulate upon it, and the
most constant wiping Of he surface,
even by the most untiring mechanical
devices, is often of little avail. Sud-
denly and quite recently there has
come a solution of this perplexity and,
as usual, very simple one. 4 pol

Scotland's grouse moors were recently
opened TO hunters. Philadelphians
were among those leasing moor. The
British grouse should really be styled
ptarmigan. The chief difference be-
tween 1t and the ordinary grouse is
that the toes are thiekly feathered.
When winter comes on the claws grow
long and tough, to enable 1t to scrape
away the ice and snow Of the northern
habitat and find its food. The ptar-
migan nest on the ground in the heath
er, or In thickets where these are to
be found. Their food comprises in
sects, berries. nuts and even leaves,
they are not hard to satisfy. Laying
brown eggs, highly notified with black,
the ptarmigan when winter comes as
sumo a protective hue of white in
place of summers defensive coioration
Of reddish brown. Their domestic
habits are exemplary. for they are
homogeneous, nor does the male strut
about in a vain parade of his PAGES
and his feathers for the admiration OF
the female of the species.

The human nose is not perfectly
trained and its powers are not devel-
oped TO the point of providing accurate
information when one depends on the
power of smelling for guidance. In
fact, scientists say smelling is far the
most imperfectly developed of the
senses. 1t is vastly inferior to the
power OF sight, as by sight the aver
age individual Is able to identify many
thousands Of different articles and OBJ
jects. While II one tries the sense OF
smell on dozen odors and perfumes,
there will be poor record made, and
many perfumes taken from known
flowers win be perfect strangers TO the

be wide and deep. A good gutter is
10 inches 10 is inches in width and
. or 10 inches below the platform.
Bedding should be clean and plen-
teous.
Long hair on the TANKS, udders
and tail above the switch OF the
dairy cow should be removed at
regular intervals. Removing this
long hair removes the clinging places
of dirt which otherwise will fall into
the milk pail in quantities. Keeping
the hair short on these parts of the
cow permits cleaning in much less
time and more thoroughly. Brush
ing should never be neglected. 1t
removes loose particles sticking to
the body. When the hair Is short,
wiping the udders with a damp cloth
just before milking, is an easy and
important aid in securing clean milk.
It is generally recognized that
most of the bacteria found in milk
finds its source in dirt clinging to
the cow and dropping into the pail
during milking time. Simple pre-
cautions will practically eliminate
this source of bacterial growth and
dairymen find themselves well re-
paid for the little time necessary in
taking such precautions.

Cuckoo's Queer Conduct
Due to Big Appetite

The habit of the European cuckoo
Of laying its eggs in other birds
nests and thus foisting the care OF its
Young upon unwilling foster parents
Is not as unnatural as 1t has been
given the discredit for being, accord
ing to Doctor Dobay, Hungarian 70
ologist.
Doctor Dobay points out three facts
that may help to explain the cuckoo's
peculiar conduct,
First, the cuckoo is great eater.
He devours hundreds Of Insects and
worms in a day. This forces him to
be a great hunter, constantly on the
move. He would probably be kept
on short rations if he and his mate
had to stay close to nest, not to
mention the difficulty of getting
enough additional food for a hungry
family.
Second, Mrs. Cuckoo is strongly
against race suicide. She lays from
90 to IS eggs in season, as against
modest six or ten. produced by other
birds. No birds going, no matter how
Industrious, could feed family like
that. Better make orphans OF them,
and trust to providence and the bounty
Of strangers.
Finally, no bird ever sits until she
has laid her whole clutch" OF eggs
II the cuckoo waited until all her eggs
were laid, the first ones would be
spoiled before the last were produced
and she was ready to incubate them.
1t appears, therefore, Doctor Dobay
concludes, that the apparently heart
less behavior OF the cuckoo is the only
practical method open to provide for
the continued existence of the cuckoo
species. Kansas City Star.
