J. E. Calavan, ' county school superintendent, has tak ' en a hand in the work of helping, di i rectors to start the year auspiciously 1 and has sent a letter to each board containing suggestions for the im . provement of conditions in the build ! ing and on the grounds. I "The health of the pupils demands that the schoolrooms be thoroughly - cleaned and disinfected before school opens," said the superintendent's let ter. - "Floors should be cleaned and oiled, never painted. For this use I floor dressing, not linseed oil. For the j furniture, nothing is better than a coat of varnish." i "The water supply, no matter what the source may be, should be made : absolutely sanitary. Many school wells are unused during the summer, and are not fit for school use until carefully cleaned. "Outbuildings should be examined, and needed repairs made. Common decency demands that substantial screens be built before the entrances to these buildings, and that all mark ings be removed. "If your school building is not properly lighted, we shall be pleased to discuss the subject with you, in re gard to making proper changes. "If you have not installed a heat ing plant, or if your stove is in, or near the center of the room, this is a subject that demands attention. Heating plants, or stoves, should be placed in one corner in the back of the room, never in front near the teacher's desk. It may be necessary to move the chimney in order to meet this requirement. If a stove is, used, it should be provided with a jacket extending a few inches above the stove and should reach within about six inches of the floor. Where stoves are used, window boards are abso lutely necessary to insure good ven tilation. "School grounds should be clean and free from rubbish. "A goodly number of our schools have met the state standardization requirements, and a number of others are about ready to become standard. See to it that your school ranks witlf the best in the county. UNION SERVICES Federated Congregational Churches Hold Meeting at Glastone The federated Congregational churches of Parkplace, Gladstone, Jen nings Lodge and Oregon City will par ticipate in a great union meeting at Gladstone park on Sunday and the church service at 2 o'clock will be ad dressed by the Rev.

Hundreds of church-goers are expected to attend the meeting. John Fox Committed John Fox of Sandy was committed to the state hospital for the insane on Tuesday after an examination by Dr. J. W. Norris. ,Fox is 59 years old and has a wife and two children. Ho has been a blacksmith but recently has suffered an almost total loss of men tality. He has suffered to a point of imbecility, according to the findings of the examining physician, and it is believed that he is so near death that the treatment of the hospital spe cialists will have been started too late. Attendants took Fox to Salem Tues ay evening. Political melancholia is the ailment that is giving the republican party and Candidate Hughes its most se vere pain. The Courier $1.00 per year. Directors Get Data for Presentation to Federal Grand Jury Following the filing of motions and affidavits calling for a dismissal of the action started by Aman Moore, vice-president of the Oregon Portland Cement company, against other offi cers and directors of the company and against other Pacific coast companies, Coy Burnett, attorney for Moore, and Moore himself visited the officers of the cement company last Friday and took copies of correspondence. This correspondence they expect to use in trial of the suit to prove that a "ce ment trust" does exist. Letters and telegrams exchanged by the various cement companies of the coast were copied at Moore's de mand as evidence of the allegations that an understanding existing among the cement companies and that the selling territory has been divided. One of the chaz-ges made in a mo tion filed in federal court calling for dismissal of the Moore suit was that Moore did not represent the company when he brought the suit in the name of the company and that as a matter of fact the directors had not only not authorized the bringing of action but had expressed views opposing such an action. Mr. Burnett said that, while Moore was justified in suing in the name of the company, his contention would stand even were his suit filed as an individual stockholder. Burnett said that the directors held a meeting the afternoon of the ' day the suit was filed and that Moore in formed them of his action. He said all the directors were present except R. P. Butchart, president of the com pany, and that no expression of op position to the suit was voiced. The only action taken, he said, was a de cision not to institute any further pro ceedings until after the meeting of the stockholders on September 20. Several of the directors, he said, naturally would be opposed to making themselves defendants in litigation and as a matter of fact these directors were defendants. Mr. Moore's con tention is, said Burnett, that the de fendant directors have disqualified themselves from serving as directors by their acts with reference to com panies that are supposedly competi tors. It is said that the data secured by Moore and Burnett in their visit to the cement company offices will prob ably be used in testimony they expect to give before the federal grand jury when it sits to investigate the alleged existence of a cement trust.

She Has Her Points Behold the old pot-bellied mare Who stands beside the stack; She is not stream-lined anywhere; She has a sagging back. The hair is worn from her sides Where tug and trace have been; Profound disgust with life abides About the pendant chin. Her dragled fetlocks reek with mud, Her tail is full of burrs; -" No pride of grace or purple blood Or blue grass sires is hers. Her sturdy pasterns, chaff-bestrewn, Have blemishes galore; Through straw-filled mane the breez 'es croon, Each shoulder bears a sore. But she has never cast a tire; Her starter always works; Her spark plug never fails to fire; Her timer never shirks; Her oil gauge plunger never sticks; And ne'er has she, I ween, Five miles from home, or maybe six, Run out of gasoline!
