An interesting and instructive educa tional meeting was held at the Franklin echuol house, wesb.of Hood River, Satur day, Nov. 19th, Superintendent C. L. Gilbert presiding. A number of local teachers, and a great many patrons and pupils from the borne and surrounding . -disi ricts, were in attendance. Especial ly noticeable was the large number of Civil War veterans present, their presence being a living monument to the patriotism which . the teachers are striving so hard to instill into the minds of the young. The meeting was opened by a stirring song of welcome by some of Mr. Neff's larger pupils. "Should we have music in our schools" was an earnest plea for more and better teaching of music in our schools, by Miss Anna Smith. An open discussion fol lowed by Messrs. NefF, Howe and At- lard. H. L. Howe gave an interesting talk npon "Plants and Children." It was shown wherein, with some of the most common flowers, plants and grains some excellent lessons may be deducted. That Oregon, a state, so full of the growth of plant life, does not put more stress upon the study of Botany is remarkably etrange. "Civil War," by R. R. Allard, brought forth a topical outline for the study of the same, the principal feature being the strong emphasis placed npon the necessity of teaching the causes which led to this great internal strife, and the resalts finally obtained. "Reading in Primary Grades" by Miss Eliza Stevens, developed some good points along this line, and made a little more clear some of the foggy points bo many teachers are struggling to over come in primary reading work. The meeting then adjourned for an elegant luncheon which the good ladies of the district had eo thoughtfully pro vided. After luncheon Miss Nettie Hart gave a stirring patriotic recitation. "Mental Arithmetic," by Miss Hester Howe was an unusually strong paper for one so young, but when we take into consideration that Miss Howe made 100 per cent, in the last teachers' examina tion in this particular brunch we need not wonder. She realizes the early pre sentment of this study to students, and the necessity of constant, ceaseless drill. Miss Mella White rendered a pathetic recitation entitled, "The Second Trial." The audience had a hard struggle to keep back the tears, so well was the piece rendered. "M. P. Isenburg made an enthusiastic and patriotic little speech upon "The Relation of the Flag to the School." - The meeting then adjourned and the audience passed out to witness the flag raising by the G. A. R. and the rousing salute given by the school children. I'oddin' Head Wilson Says: "The fool eaith, 'Put all thy eggs in different baskets ;' which means, scatter your money and your attention ; but the wise man eaith: 'Put all your eggs in one basket, and watch the bas ket.' " We have only one basket, and we are watching it in optics.

San Jose, Cal., Nov. 18 The Jan Jose Grange is making a determined fight against the marketing of Oregon prunes in San Jose. Lately, it is charged, many Oregon prunes have been sold here, and sent East as Santa Clara county prunes. While it is conceded that this year the Oregon prune crop was larger than the local crop, it is added that the prunes are inferior in flavor, and that they 'Jack sugar. As a result the local growers are making war on them. It is now said that the Santa Clara county dealers, or a majority of them, will refuee to handle Oregon prunes in the future. A Sure Sign of Croup. Hoareeness in a child that is subject to croup is a sure indication of the ap proach of the disease. If Chamberlain's Coach Remedy is given as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy cough has appeared, it will pre vent the attack. Many mothers who havejeroupy children always keep this remedy at hand and find that it saves them much trouble and worry. It can always be depended upon and is pleasant to take.

It does not pass around the hip like other trusses, but over the hips, the silver wire lying in the hollow of side, thereby allowing the free movement of the hips and limbs, allowing the wearer to Btrlde ont freely, and doing away with the fear and dread that something will go wrong that usually attends the wearing of other trusses. Its lightness is featherweight in comparison with other trusses. It is so lieht the wearer scarcely knows he has anythlog on, and this is a cre-it comfort, enab ling the wearer to forget his ailments. nt the wntn- muiA et y-rAtynoA The Dalles, Or.
