COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES.
Tlio county superintendent visited
tho Clatnkanle schools Monday and
iiiakoa a very complimentary report.
He reports tlio Clutskanle schools as
fully abreast with the beat of them,
l'rof. McCord and Ins teachers are to
ho congratulated on their work.
Tho Rainier schools were closed
the lunt four days this week by order
of the State Health office, on account
of a cane ot smallpox. We trust It Is
mostly scare. Prof. WUkorson and
Prof. AuBtln planned tho work so the
High School pupils did not loose
much time.
The county superintendent paid
an ofllclal visit to the Warren school
Wednesday. There wore 101 pupils
orenent and about 14 absent. Many
were out with bud colda. Prof. W.
L. Dunton la principal and la assist
ed by Mias Mary Dahlgren. Miss Mary
Tliomaa and Mlaa Hilda Muhr. All
nrn wnrklne for a good school and
are succeeding nicely.
WHY I AM A MUT.
If In tho' hills, and a man came to
my cabin hungry, I'd feed him. Beon
thore.
If on the trail and I met a man
barefoot, and had an extra pair of
atinna. I'd divide. Hnvo had cactua
in my heels.
If you wore crossing a Btream In
x boat, and mot a man trying to swim
It. would you help him? I would.
Put yourself In the place of those
who havn't, and you will be a Mut.
Just a little solf denial and you
can bo one. Try It, and when you
near your neighbor cay that neighbor
G. received a Christmas present, ana
you know that you havo had a part
i creating that feeling of tlianKtui
nana won't you feol the better for
having dono soT
If you billcve in these tenets, drop
i. coin in the Mut boxes, buy a mem
bership card or wear a badge, and
vou will be a Christian.
If you want an Idea for being I
Mut, take a chance on Miss Rosen
thal's pillow top JACK MUT.
DO YOU BELIEVE IT?
E. I. Bullagh, who loft here on the
Btenmer Wapama ft couple of weeka

The councilman majntains that he en
toyed the sea trip and waa not sick
