Their life In a Stupid circle ran, Dull, fogy folk were they; Hurrah for. the man with the moving van Hurrah for the first of May! How odd to stick to the selfsame view. Ceiling and floor and wall. When agents nt ten or half-past tsvo In automobile will call! How odd, consecutive years a span, At one address to stay! Huzza for th man with the moving van Huzza for the first of May! Midst all the city of house and fiat Are some we have not seen They fill those visions o' night, begat By wanderlust. I ween. Several of the leading magazines are printing a- series of articles pertain ing to the knowledge gleaned from our public schools by the students. If this knowledge is not practical, Is it not pitiful? Neither in the school room nor at home have girls been taught to place marriage, wifehood and motherhood on the same plane with history or civics, says the Wo man's Home- Companion, "And if you do not know what this means then this incident may help you to under stand." Mrs. Hetty Green, worth fifty mil ions in her own came, and a woman of many eccentricities, but great shrewd ness, was waiting in a Brooklyn court room for a case to be called. Thirty women seeking freedom from matri monial tenets were waiting to be called. Hetty Green looked them all over, and then she turned to a reporter. 'Poor things," she said, "poor things! And if they'd ever been taught to take care or a home, to love a home, they wouldn't be here. They didn't think that marriage meant anything mot e tlin someone to pay for thc-heap finery they had paid for themselves before marriage. They did not know that happiness In being married lies in knowing how to make a comfortable home for themselves and their husbands. Already real estate has began to move on the strength of the irrigation project. Just wait until the bonds are placed, or rather, until the necessary amount of acreage Is signed up to warrant the Issuing of the bonds. Then the way real estate will be In demand will be a revelation to many. The year or two following the coming of the sugar factory will simply be an incident. The question of changing the con stitution of our state to permit the state to build and operate railroads will be one of the live issues of the next, campaign: but it depends very much on the policy outlined whether or not it will prevail.- If these sec tions of the state that now, do not have transportation facilities desire to bond themselves to build railroads, well and good, but those sections of the state that have railroads will hardly vote a tax on themselves to build roads into territory not tribu tary. There are precedents that can be cited1 showing where tills policy has been successful, and on the other hand there are states which have tried it and made dismal failures in attempting to go into the railroad business. There is no question but what th'? growth of this state has been rrentlv retarded bv not havini? proper transportation facilities; but it is posible that before election time arrives considerable activity in rail road building will be in evidence. Next Monday when the Supreme Court meets In Pendleton the familiar face of Judge Bean will be missed by the bar of Eastern Oregon. However, Judge McBrlde will receive a loyal welcome as this will be his first offi cial work as the successor of Judge Bean. v Those In the elgth grade have the impression that examinations this year are' to be much more exacting than is usual in order that as few as possible may ber promoted info the high school, owing to the crowded condition. Whether this Is true or not. those who fail to pass can take this view of it. i :A- A number of our people are al ready planning to visit Wallowa late this sumiuer when the outing season opens, and it is expected that several excursions will be run at Intervals during the summer. Joseph will un doubtedly become one of the greatest unimer resorts of the State. , The Top Edge of the Collar is Smooth That is why we nev er have a complaint about our collar work If you are not send ' ing us your laundry work, try us.
