Island City Teachers Selected.
At a recent meeting of the directors
of school district No. 10, the Island
City district, W. E. Thompson was
ro-cmployed as principal for the com
ing school year. At the same time
the following (trade teachers were
engaged: Ellen Maxfield, Etha Huff
man and Florence McDonald.
Growing Suspicious.
There is a place down on Market
street wftere certain printers hang out
when twilight has come and the day's
work is over. And there's a reason!
In lifting type from galley to form,
a printer uses what is called a "make
up rule." It is a thin strip of steel,
and you can buy 'em for about ten
cents a dozen.
But the man that runs the place
where Hhe Ben Franklin boys go has i
been leu to believe that this little bit
of oteel is the printer's badge. With
out it, the printer can't Work, accord
ing to his conception. He has hem
led to believe that.
So, when a printer asks him for the
loan of atouple of dollars and is will
ing to leave the "make-up rule" as se
curity, the genial ihost readily passes
over the coin. He has a cigar box full
of thin strips of steel at present and
is beginning to think. nan rraneisco

Why Constipation Injures
The bowels are the natural sewer
age system of the body. When they
become obstructed by constipation a
part of the poisonous matter which
they should carry off is absorbed into
the system, making you feel dull and
stupid, and interfering with the di
gestion and assimilation of food. This
condition is quickly relieved by Cham
berlain's Tablets. Obtainable everywhere.

Hints For the Needy.
II am a married man, with a wife
and seven children, and make $400 a
year. Fortunately, we own the house,
so there is no rent to pay. Thinking
that others may benefit by my exper
ience in starving, I am induced to
dictate this to my stenographer.
Once a month we have meat. I cro
to a reliable butcher, and he selects a
piece of meat from which all nourish
ment has been extracted, and it will
surprise many of my readers to know
how cheap it can be obtained with a
little forethought. All the other
meals we starve on what is left over
from the previous ones. Some people
have done this occasionally, but we
do it all the time, thereby enabling us
to spend nearly all of our income on
useless things. Here is our total ex
pense for the year:
Meat S t
Movies ISOO
Car-fare 50
Motor 40
Total .' .$100
Any ono can starve if they like on
$100 a year. Mv wife joins me in
hoping our example will be ti benefit
to all. Life.
Spring
Spring is looked upon liy many as
the most delightful season of the year,
but this rannot be said of the rheu
matic. The cold and damp weather
brings on rheumatic pains which are4
anything nut pleasant. Ihey can be
relieved, however, by applying Cham
berlain's Liniment. Obtainable everywhere.
No Trace of Girl's Bodv.
Philomath. Or., April 18. Since
late Saturday afternoon scores of men
with dragging hooks, ropes and nets
have raked the lied of Mary's river in
a vain search for the bodv of Helen
Newton, the (5-year-old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Ben Newton, of this
place. On Saturday afternoon Helen,
in company with her uncle, who is but
a bov ! years old, played on the banks
of Mary's river below their home. In
attempting to cross a footlog the girl
slipped and fell into the swift water,
to be carried down stream beyond the
help of her playmate. The boy hur
ried home and gave the alarm. Res
cue parties rushed to the scene, but
no trace of the littlo girl's body could
be found. Night and day since tho
search has been kept up. The task
is mule difficult by tho dense growth,
of brush and debris. Dynamite was
resorted to hut even this failed. The
stream has leen patroled its entire
length from here to the Willamette,
and nets placed across at several
places. It is believed tho body sank
to the bottom of some ono of the many
deep holes in the river, and will not
bo found till it aises to the surface.

Do you know why the J. I. Case I. M. Co. of Kaeine. Wis., gives the purchaser of
every Case Gas Tractor a signed guarantee that it will do more and better work than
any other tractor of equal horse-power, regardless of name, type.or price? If it doe
not do all this it does not cost you anything and you are to be the judge on your own
farm. The entire Case Company stands back of this guarantee and can make good
every word of it. They take the risk, not you. This is the strongest and broadest
guarantee ever given by a reliable tractor company. For 74 years the J. I. Case t' M
Company have been giving this guarantee on all their farm machinery and if tliev had
not made good in every way they would not be running their factories over-time to
fill their orders.
Case Tractors will do your work cheaper and better than horses or any other tric
tor. We have a Case 12-2.5 (12 h. p. on the draw-bar and 25' on the lv.li. ii., I..-.
the above statement to you if you will give us a few
tractor 1iere how and can prove
minutes of vour time.
Case Tractors are simple and -asy to operate. Nothing complicated or confusinu
about them. They are very economical in the consumption of gas and oil and are
just as cheap as a good traetor can be built If you are interested m a tractor vou will
find that Case is worthy of your most careful consideration.
