The record maintained by our school
depends great deal upon the average
attendance Of the pupils. Enforced alb
sence due to illness causes the majority
of absences. The cold is the most COM
mon and persistent-the average per-
son has two or three year and al
though he may or may not stay out
of school when thus afflicted, his en-
ergy and ability are cut in half.
The cold germ is an elusive one
against which even science cannot
find a satisfactory innoculation; at
least, one within the means of most
people. We can, however, raise our re-
sistance to the disagreeable disease by
eating wholesome food and plenty Of
it, A persons body requires more food
In the winter than it does in the sum-
mer. Of course, one should exercise
sufficiently or the increased diet ceases
to be an asset.
Too, warm clothes are indispensable
in the winter. One can't expect to be
comfortable in summer dresses when
the thermometer hovers around zero.
You've heard this before, but the
school needs your attendance so re-

TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR

AS you say, ''She may be empty, but I'll tell the
world she's clean-''
But when the sheet is printed and is out upon the
mail,
On it's way to the subscribers have never seen it
In the center of the front page in most conspicu-
Gus place,
Some typographical error fairly kicks you in the
face.
For the typographical error is slippery thing and
sly,
You can hunt till you are dizzy, but it somehow
will get by,
Till the forms are off the press it is strange how
still it keeps,
It shrks down into corner and it never stirs or
That typographical error too small for human
eyes,
Till the ink is the paper, when it grows to
mountain size,
And you see that blasted error, far as you could
throw dog,
Looming up in all it's splendor, like lighthouse in
fog!
That glaring blunder juts out like an liberated
tooth,
Where it lodged the eagle vision of the mapping
comma sleuth.

THE SAVING SHOULD GO TO THE GROWER

That freight rate reduction for northwest APP
pies will help if the saving can be passed
on to the growers. Eastern buyers, however, are
we'll organized and will no doubt make strong
effort to reduce the price they pay for the fruit
sufficiently to offset the saving in the freight
rate. Whether or not they successful in that
effort will depend in large measure on the firm
ness of the stand Of western dealers and shippers
who control the apples still in storage in the west.
The railroad executives want the saving passed
on to the growers for they realize that with the
low prices that have prevailed the last two or
three years the very life of the fruit industry is
threatened and the railroads are facing the pos
sible loss of a tremendous tonnage.
If the western dealers should weaken and cut
the asking price, the lower freight rate would not
mean thing to the growers.

would reflect in legislation, is being
borne out
Today there is hardly bill in the
legislature but bears some of the ear
marks OF such distribution of member
ship.
The country districts have been
stripped of their members and the
county of King given them. This is
not good for the state at large.
There are many bills in the hopper
which have been introduced solely as
"shake-down" measures. That is, leg
islation designed to dig deeply into the
pocket books of business.
Unfortunately, this year business is
virtually bankrupt. Manufacturers are
struggling along on reduced payrolls
reduced outputs and are not making
money. A vast majority are rather
hopeless in face of the drive against
them.
Those who would resist and try to
stave of disaster are making des-
perate struggle. They should be en-
couraged in their fight to keep their
men employed.

OUR CUMBERSOME LEGAL PROCEDURE

We presume that the would-be assassin who at
tempted the life of President-elect Roosevelt will
be brought to trial in due course and from the
scantily reported facts at this time, will in all
likelihood be convicted and sentenced He may
even plead insanity and proong the trial in that
manner and after conviction there will be the
usual delay while appeal is being taken to the
higher courts, and possibly further delays before
the sentence is executed This procedure is all
necessary in order that may maintain the dig
nifty of courts and surround the accused with
all the safeguards guaranteed under the consti-
tuition and the laws Of the land. No doubt this is
all as it should be but there are times and there
are crimes when to most folks it seems like
empty gesture and a farce.

The Civics classes have started a
project to enable them to-. estimate
more clearly the cost OF one persons
menu for week. Mr.. Nelson has the
pupils making lists of everything which
they eat during period Of time, es-
timating what 1t costs. Mr.. Nelson got
the inspiration from an item in the
paper about university experiment
with family of four to find out if
they could be fed on $500 week
They discovered that the family ate
heartily on that amount and even had
81 cents remaining after weeks ex-
penditure.

SHRUB PRUNING

The best time of the year to prune
many shrubs is now at hand as they
complete their blooming. BY doing the
work at this season the plants ener-
gies can be directed to the young
growth which will bloom another sea-
son. In most cases the old Towering
wood will not bloom again and simply
encumbers the plant. Pruning should
not be drastic and, in fact, need not
be if done each year. Where the
plant consists of several stems. as in
Spirea Won Houttei, two or three OF
the older ones should be cut of at the
ground and the remainder thinned by
cutting out some of the shoots which
have lust bloomed. BY following some
such plan, new shoots will be encour-
aged and in a few weeks one will
scarcely be able to see where the cut
ting was done.
Consider the ungainly form OF old
shubhery which has not been pruned.
The Towering wood stands out on the
ends of long, straggly branches. Beauty
is gone. not to return, but If moderate,
regular pruning is practiced. the plants
can be kept thrifty and beautiful for
a great many years.
