State Horticultural
Meeting, December 1-3

The State Horticultural Association
meeting will be held in Yakima De-
cember l to 8 this year, states E. G..
Durdle, county agent. The Association
meeting has been attracting greater
attention from year to year, and un-
doubtedly a number of growers from
this county will want to reserve these
dates for attendance at this meeting
this year.
The exhibit of apple varieties and
bud sports which was held in connec-
ton with the Association last year will
be held again this year. ALI growers
having plots Of any varieties of sports
to exhibit are requested to save them
for this occasion or send them at once
to Wendell Brown, District Horticul-
turist at Yakima In making these ex-
hibits it is well if the growers will
make plate of the red strain and also
exhibit plate of the ordinary strain
of the variety for the sake of COM
parison.
Programs for the meeting will be
available sometime during the early
part of next month.

Proper Way to Plaster
According to Authority

"A poorly plastered home is an eye
sore forever; home plastered as a
plasterer would do it for himself, is a
joy to the owner and credit to the
plasterer," claims Mr.. Shinn of the
John Dover Lumber Co.
A good job of plastering, he says,
begins with the lot itself. If it is a
filled lot, the plastering is liable to
crack, no matter how much time and
material the plasterer uses. The foot
ings and foundation have an awful lot
to do with satisfactory job. # you
build on top of lot Of old rubbish,
and do not make your footings and
foundation go down to solid ground,
you will not get what you expect in
plastering. # the footings and foun-
dation are not made strong enough,
the house will settle and crack the
plaster.
If you rest one end of wooden
beam on masonry and the other on a
post, you will have unequal expansion
and contraction throughout the build
ing and that will cause cracks.
The base on which you put your
plaster is also important; because no
plaster is stronger than it's base. If
wood lath are used, they should be
spaced 3s of an inch apart to form
good key to hold the plaster on the
wall The first coat should be wood
fibre plaster.
If you don't want to pay for g.
coat job, don't complain if your plas-
ter cracks along the lath. Your plas-
terer hates cracks as much as you do
and is willing to do anything to elm
mate them if you are willing to pay
the price. However, don't expect a
3-coat jo,, for the price of a 2-coat
darbied job. It can't be done.
Do not try to save money by skimp-
ing on the plastering contract TIC
get quality work you must have: First
reliable, conscientious plastering con-
tractor; second, good materials; third
good mechanics. All three are essen
tial.

DEPREssIONs AND CURES

In the year of 1857, while the country believed itself
to be still waowng in the depths of the depression which
followed the panic Of 1873 and the affairs of the Pnham
family also at low ebb, Lydia Pinkham launched
the business venture which later reached amazing pro-
portions.
There why such venture should be
a There many other firms marketing veg
etable compounds; remedies easily obtanabe that

ham compound offered remedy
But nevertheless, Lydia Pnkham entered the field Of
For two years she tried to sell enough patent
medicine among the neghborhood to make living, but
it soon began to look though the warnings of her friends
should have been needed Them bright day in 1877
her Will summoned his courage and inserted in the
Boston Herald small advertisement, informing the pub
lie of the particular virtues of this vegetable compound
This advertisement marked the turning point in the for
tunes of the Pnham family Orders for dozens Of bot
ties arrived The advertisements enlarged and null
tped, and the orders increased Despite
ous setbacks to the patentmedcne industry the annual
advertising appropriation for this firm today is 100000
All this started during another depression, remember.
People thought then they do now that the public would
not buy and that persuasion could start them buying
again Those who have the courage to doubt such state
mens readily find that by the proper of newspaper
advertising, buyers can be found.

The Modern School
|TEACHING AND LIVING MORALS
AT SCHOOL
BY Mrs. L. o. Anderson
Dean of Girls, Wenatchee High School

Moral training comes from actual
Experiences and real situations, pres
ent-day teachers think, and it can not
be divorced from student life. Mere
preachment and learning moralizing
maxins of the copy-book variety have
little carry-over to life itself. A pill
ferer can write Honesty is the best
policy" a hundred times without
changing his character one iota. His
grade In honesty can not be improved
! by keeping him in after school. His
attitude is the thing that really counts.
| The school develops the right atti-
tude in its pupils through its citizen
ship training, student participation in
government, socialized recitations, pro-
jects, plays, programs and clubs. Ath-
letics and playground activities teach
cooperation, craftsmanship and fair
play
Boys and girls whose morals are
slack are quietly shunted aside and not
accepted freely into the activities of
the school by the higher-type students,
who fortunately make up seven eighths
of the student body. Students, thus,
without any conscious effort, furnish
one another the best lessons in school
morals
Contrary to the criticism often heard,
the morals of high school boys and
girls of today are equal if not superior
to those of the high school students of
decade ago. However, they dislike
the word morals" because it sounds
prudish to them, and they refuse to
accept, without investigating, the moral
| traditions handed down by their elders
Morals are taught through appeal to
the reason. Is it not more effective to
show students that immortality ruins
their chances for success in life than
to stress abstract right or wrong?
Teachers today try to supply students
with facts upon which to base their
| judgments in order that they may
make wise choices.
Character building is the golden
thread that runs through all the work
of the school. 1t is the final goal to
which all other aims contribute. 1t is
the very heart of our teaching, in
herent in every subject.
Morals are taught every hour of the
day through the regular school sub
jects. We teach morals in history
through the study of human relation
ships. In literature, through biography
and the ideals of great men. In arith-
metic, through accuracy and reliability
In shop, through the right habit for
nation, viewpoint of life, work and
fellow worker. We teach boy morals
by giving him something to do that
Twill offer challenge to him. .sWhile
the. boy makes the table, the table
makes the boy. So we help him fine
incentives and tie up his boundless
energy to vital projects.
| 1t is natural for a student to want
to be good. If he persists in vicious
behavior, the teacher knows that his
physical or mental health needs a
physician or psychiatrist.
The work of the schools in teaching
morals is quickly undone if it is not
supplemented by the home and the
community. Undoubtedly the best way
for. any adult to teach morals to young
people is to live them.
