things that may be taught are as
follows: Soils lack humus In Crook
county, contain only from 2 to 5
lT cent. Have children classify
H..lls with sieve and water. Tho
clay la separated from the wind by
water. Teach the feeding nature
of different soils; finer soils have a
greater feeding surfiife. Crop for
the next ten years in this locality
will depend more on aoil moisture
than on fertilizer. H i very Itn
IMirtant to teach tho movements of
water. Demonstrate by taking
several aoila dilfering in mechanical
make-up. Teach the importance of
dust mulch, which doittroys eapjlur
Ity. Teat aoil for alkali and acida
with litmua paper. Make field tent
for drainage and umeraturc; ven
tilation ia controlled by cultivation.
Teach the importance of bacteria to
growing plants; they furnish the
free nitrogen to planta. Soila in
the valley lack much free or avail
able food aupply. Bacterial exeri
menta can be carried on in the
school room by getting a bacterial
culture. The question of all aoila
in the Deachutea valley ia a aupply
of moisture and humus and avail
able potash. Teach the imimrtance
of returning the farm refuse and
manure to the farm. Horticul
ture may lc taught by aimple ex
periment in budding and grafting.
These thing are practicul and
arouse a deep and satisfying inter
est in the work. In the discussion
that followed Mrs. Charlton sug-
gested that a crusade against weeda
be carried on by teacher and
pupils.
The next numlter on the program,
a violin duet by Mra. Edwards and
Mis William, with Mm. Coe at the
piano, was o pleasingly rendered
that they were compelled to re
spond to an encore.
In a abort discussion of the
"Social Side of High School Life,"
Principal K. L. Coe of C. C. II. S..
apoke of tho necessity of the teach
er keeping In mind that the well
rounded man must have mental,
physical ami moral or spiritual de
velopment. The student I influ
enced by what the teacher ia. A
long a human nature remain
octal we must assist in the social
development. Ideal are formed
during the high achool period. As
sociation with that which ia uplift
ing or degrading will have their re
spective influence, even to the
choosing. of a life malo. Mean of
helping to raise the social standard
may be found in social affair,
schoolroom decorations, a school
piter and literary societies.
Miss Alice Pay I'ratt showed the
teachers that by mean of "Life
Study" the children might, be put
in touch with the lurgenes of life.
Iyt them come in touch first hand
with many of the fundamental in
dustries as possible and then use
this actual contact aa a basis for
games, language work, etc. A
study of birds and animals, flowers
and trees helps the child to become
more sympathetic with all nature.
Miss Margaret Hate of Redmond
talked on method of teaching spell
ing, emphasizing the need of the
teacher helping the child to learn
how to use the dictionary.
Prof. J. W. Smith of C. (. II. S.,
after reading statistics that proved
that the salary ratio rises in direct
proportion to the education of the
child under the old system, asserted
that the achool can do still more to
help the student to be an efficient
citizen by adding to the old cur
riculum manual training, domestic
science and other art which help to
fit for actual work in the 'vorld.
"Manual training," said he, "de
velop the wit as well as the
muscles. There i an intimate re
lation between the hand and the
brain. The best intellectual devel
opment comes from the interaction
of the two."
After the report of the commit
tee on resolutions, Mr, Coe in a few
well chosen words presented to
County Supt. Ford a handsomely
upholstered leather chair, a tribute
expressing the appreciation of the
teacher for Supt. Eord'a untiring
labor for the welfare of the Bchools,
The institute closed with a talk by
Supt. Ford in which he thanked the
teachers for their co-operation, es
pecially in the preparation of the
industrial exhibit for the fair.

At The Lyric
"Brutus," the first Cines film
ever shown in Prineville will be ex
hibited Friday and Saturday at the
Lyric. This is an adaptation from
Shakespeare's "JuluisCaesa r,"
showing the death of Caesar, the
flight of Brutus from Rome, the ap
pearance of Caesar's ghost to
Brutus, his death upon the battle
field and the Battle of Philippi.
All who see this will marvel at its
magnificence, especially students
and lovers of Shakespeare.
Two other worth while films help
provide an hour's enjoyment which
should make the Lyric a popular
place Friday and Saturday evening.
Her Opportunity.
In nn old French Joke book Is a
story to the effect that when at Rome
public penances' were customary a con
fessor thought fit to order that one of
bis female penitents should be flogged.
8 tie told tier husband, and he volun
teered to undergo tho penance for ber.
The wife wns present at the flogging,
and whenover the coufessor's energies
flagged she would cry:
"Kiog harder, father, for you know
I'm a greut sinner!"
BUT THEY COULDNT KEEP SINGLE. TAX IN THE BOTTLE,
Not a Soot.
From some unexplained cause the
snglne attached to a Scottish express
once broke down nenr Y. A worthy
quickly put his head out of the win
dow and inquired:
"What ou earth's wrong, galrd?"
The guard was cross, for no records
could be broken that Journey, and
testily he replied:
"Well, Scottle, the driver's a coun
tryman of yours, nud the beggar has
used all the hot water tu the boiler to
mix grog with."
"Na, na, gaird. the chiefs nae a
Scot." came the retort, "or ho widna
trouble muckle aboot the water."

Free Speech By Foul Mouths
There is a foul-mouthed, indecent element in the city of Port

efforts to remove them from the streets. In the names of our
wives and children we asli your support and vote for No. 370i

The Boycot and Picket
The employers of Oregon are not slave drivers, a is claimed
by those who live by the sweat of their deluded victims. This
fact is sel-evident in any part of the state. The boycott and the
picket are the representative of a low order of intelligence, seek
