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 object of this test is to stimu
late interest in review work and the
results obtained are graded in red
ink so that they may be more easily
summarized in making out report
cards.
The superintendent will soon have
directions and suggestions in the
hands of every teacher in the coun
ty for carrying eut this work.

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.
Immigration into the different

ry McCandalis. Maurice Raton,
Charles Bramer, Leslie Eshum,
John Bretherson, and were un
der the leadershipof M. E. Bates
These people came f rem a rich
agricultural country, but they
learned of the greater possibilities
existing in this country, and de
cided to grasp the opportunity of
a life time, and secure a portion
of the homestead land offered by
the government.

productive sections have yielded
prodigious crops of wheat, oats,

This country also has the in
estimable advantage of the best

get. DEFERRING OLD AGE.
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. Professor n. 8. Jen
