Better Spelling in County Schools County Superintendent Myers has organized a plan for improving the spelling in the public schools throughout Crook county. This is called the "red ink" spelling test and has already proved its worth in the Prineville fublic Schools.

The superintendent will soon have directions and suggestions in the hands of every teacher in the coun ty for carrying eut this work. War Is ?

The Importance of Agriculture Agriculture is the wealth of the nation acd if wisely managed the soil will support the nation with little outside help. But while we have a wealth of resource in the land, agriculture in this country is still far from the point where it cau support our ninety six millions of people, because it is not wisely followed in every section. The question of the hour is how to get enough people into the business of farm ing to take care of the rapidly ex panding population in the cities and the constantly increasing demand for foodstuffs all over the country.

The fer tility of the soil is inquestionablo. The majority of the farmers are either successful or are becom ing such. This country also has the in estimable advantage of the best of schools, colleges and those ac cesories to the refinements of life which belong to highly civil ized communities. Every town and most of t'e country districts enjoy the modern conveniences, and the telephono mav be in every farmer's home if he so wishes. That this country wilj continue to gain in population isacertainty. The magnetism of her unlimited agricultural opportunities is pDwerfully drawing new comers within her borders. Madras Pioneer.

Wheu a man begins to And greater pleasure in Indolent ease than In strenuous activity he bus reached the daugereus age. It is possible to prolong our term of usefulness by ten or twenty years through keeping a firmer grasp on youth. Given a condition of ordinary health, keeping youth ful Is largely a matter of avoid ing the things that make for ago. First one must look after bis eating and drinking. Half a doz en or more diseases are likely to follow years of liquor drinking ami the eutlng of quantities of red blooded meut, and It requires a linn will to shut down on these things. Every day iu which liq uor drinking and overeating are avoided is a day saved to health, a day added to youthfuliiess nud age postponed for a day. Sport is a two edgei sword. If en gaged In In moderation it is most wholesome. ICxcesg of participa tion Is quite the opposite. Not one man In a hundred ran keep in good health If he sticks to a desk and an easy chair and falls to get out In the open and stir up his sluggish organs. Walking will gave many a man years of youthfulnexs, and walking is so simple. Going through the mo tions of a dog trot for three min utes standing at an open window will work wonders if continued once or twice a day. Deep, rhythmic breathing, accompanied by a rhythmic shaking up of the body, benefits in half a dozen ways. It helps the liver, re duces flenh, Increases the heart's action and makes the blood course through the entire body, and as all the blood passes through the lungs the deep breathing adds to Its store of oxygen.
