Both horses were drownH and a number of meters, with electric wire and other fixtures sunk. WITH nymph-llke grace and spir Ituelle dramatic talent, little 10-year-old Mildred Keats fas cinated a large audience that gathered last saturaay to attend the dance re cital given by Miss Kdith Varney's pu pils at Masonic Temple. Little Miss Keats is bewitchingly lissome and dainty, and she does her work with an abandon and revealing grace o ex pression and force that is unbelievable almost in a child of her years. She is much too young to be able to compre hend the characters she portrays in her dancing, but seems to grasp the ex pression in a purely spiritual manner. She is the essence of poetry in her art. and dances for the sheer love of it. Miss Mildred is the only child of Mr. GIRL TAKES UP ENTRY STENOGRAPHER LEAVES MACHINE FOR LIFE OJf OWJf FARM. MIs Inex Buckler Resigns Her Posi tion at City Hall to live on Land Semr Redmond. Having saved up enough money dur ing seven years" employment as a stenographer at the City Hall to buy two horses, a cow, a cabin, some farm implements and still have a bank ac count to go on, Miss Inez Buckner yesterday gave notice that she will quit her position next Thursday and move to a 160-acre homestead which he has taken up 12 miles from Red mond, in Eastern Oregon. Unassisted, the young woman will begin the strug gle to place the land under cultivation and prove up on it within the three years prescribed by the Federal irri gation act. Her only neighbors will be her un married sister, who has already taken up a homestead, and a few scattered settlers who have been at work on their land for a few months past. aiiss Buckner, a slight appearing young woman, 26 years of age, says she first decided to become a land owner and a farmer soon after she went into the city service. On her va cation last Summer she visited Eastern Oregon and selected her ground and men Degan to make arrangements to leave. She bought a pair of good horses, a cow, arranged for a cabin, got some chickens and some imple ments and had them sent to her sis ter's homestead, where they now await her arrival. "Every young woman should look ahead," says Miss- Buckner. "Some girls spend their earnings for clothes and good times and as a result they have nothing to show for their labor after a period of years. This is not to my liking. I would hate to think that I would have to spend my life struggling for a living in an office thumping a typewriter when there are so many opportunities for a woman to do something better in the world. The nomestead and the farm are just as opn to women as to men." NEW PUBLICATION PLANNED The American Telegrapher to Be Is sued- From Ivos Angeles.

I will not use the office or allow it to be used as a first and pre ferred claim for any private busi ness concern.
