The BeilfooiitaiJ subcol closed in a laze of glory Friday, April 8. after a t successful term of six months trader lotorshipof Miss Ellen Dunlap and TMiaa Allie Reader. The program was .. -one of the test t ver given in our county. , 3 compared favorably with those of our- etj 84-tiools. After the Jegu'ar program 45up. Dt-DUan t-old the bats of the yoang ladies. The funds obtained were for lit erary purei, The neat sum of $27 "was obtained in thi3 way. The parents' meeting arranged by Supt Denman was united to the closing exer- -ciseB. Saturday's work consisted of dis cussions and entertainment on a phono graph. L. N. Edwards read a good pa per on "Teachers' Salaries: Are They - Too Low, If So Why, and Remedy." lie said the salaries were too low ; that they should be high enough to hold our brightest teachers; An average salary in county was f 31.41, out of which was to 'be deducted board and other expenses; iBetter pay large salary, and hav better leathers, and have a shorter term. In discussing the subjt-ct. J. H. Edwards reald. "Too many teachers enter the pro fession temporarily, using it as a step ling stone to something better. T. T. Vin cent said, "There should be more inte 8t taken in our schools. Supt, Denman aid "Higher salaries had taken our best teachers from us." Ross Mathews thought 4bat we had too ruauy 3rd grade teach 3rs mho cot wages. The subject of "Parents Duty at Home" was ably handled by Koss Mathews. He made an excellent talk, full of enthusi asm. "Parents" be said "should sup port the teacher loyally. Children should ifae eent to school witn proper books, and -properly prepared. He was opposed to -4h district towel. Every child should fee supplied with one. Start the child to tacbool first day and keep it there until term closes." M. M. Waltz in discussing "Consoli dation of Rural Districts," said:" By och a plan, schools could be made u.ore efficient, the terms would be longer and ttescbers better." J. H. Edwards said "'Consolidation is a pioneer work. At teodance in Wisconsin and Ohio where las was being used increased 54 to 90 percent. Children are less exposed to oolds and storms, have better interest sand inspiration: In Ohio 65 per cent of ipaplls in consolidated districts passed 8th jgrade examination, in others only 25 per cent passed. "Success in Life" "was bandied with remarkable success by E. "JL Belknap. He filled his hearers full of enthusiasm and inspiration as he elo quently passed from one thought to an otber. He contended that true success is living pure, noble and useful lives. "How to Handle the Dull Boy ?" D. V. Gragg thought that one the best ways to accomplish this was by studyiug your ;subject carefully. . Mrs. Ida Belknap teached the heart of :all by her inspiring remarks on "How can Teacher Awaken Interest in the Indif ferent School ?" She said, "the teacher .must first be interested and love her ' ptipilo ajid her work. She liked the old way of boarding around, By this plan both 'parent and teacher could be reached : A teacher must first control herself, if she ' siconld control the school. . "W.C. Reese followed her in an excel lent talk. He thought teacher, patron snd pupils should come to an understand ing. By a thorough understanding much trouble and dissatisfaction can be obvi ated. The days work was one of profit and pleasure. The citizens of this section of oar -county deserve unstinted praise for itheir interest and loyalty in their schooL?. Notwithstanding the, pressing demands on them to remain at home, the Grange Ylall was filled. Such loyalty in face of this season of year is indeed a compli itnent to their enthusiasm. The dinner 'during noon hour here was a repetition of the many such dinners given in past. The next meeting occurs in Alsea on second Saturday in May. X Notice to Creditors.

I teU yon waat.1 sold my home When I listed it with White & Stone. I was feeling very blue and sad, My wife she made me almost mad; - -:. ' She did not -want on the farm to stay, She wanted to selt it and move away, So I listed it for more than a year -And still I found myself right here. The agents took my -place ia hand . They were so sure they could sell the land. I sometimes think they did not try . For they never brought a man to buy, They gave me a wink with a knowing smile And tried to fool me all thewhile. With that knowing smile and wink They could not fool mejdon't you think. I saw they would rot sell my home ; So I listed it with White & Stone. 5fou bet, I fouud them just and true; They will do your work all right for you. They will always help you if they can, . They deal with you as man with man. They'ie always ready with good advice. And are not afraid to advertise. So, if you would buy or sell a home Just bave a talk with White & Stone. WHITE & STONE, : Corvallis, Oregon. NEW PIANOS ! ! $50.00 ja $75.00 cheaper than you can buy them in Portland or of Portland agents. We claim to sell in struments of the same q uality o0 to $75 cheaper than any other agents within 500 -miles. This may seem like a bold statement, but we are prepared to back it up with incontrovertible evidence, if given a chance. ARGUMENT. AH large dealers, like the Portland firms, have enormous expenses that we do not have in the way of immense rent, electric lighr, clerk hire, freight, drayage and numerous other bills. Especially is this true of their agents who cart their pianos around from town to town, creating bills which you have to share if you buy of them. Large firms save about 10 on aipiano bv buying in large carload lots - Do you think that makes up for the above expenses? We are in a position to sell cheaper than any large firms and the way our customers are ii. creasing gives evidence that people are finding it out. Beware of spec ial sales, piano clubs and the like. No firm can sell goods at wholesale prices to the retail trade and no firm does. We always make a profit on our pianos and never give anyone a special price, or sell to you for less than your neighbor, as we have but one J rice the year around. There is not another lealer iu the Pacific Northwest, to our knowl edge, which has strictly oue price on each piano from which they ever never deviate. At least have a talk with M. A. GOODNOUGH before purchasing and see what he has to oner. Our $250 piano is a thoroughly good instru ment, of beautiful tone, action, finish and workmanship and one which would cost else where $300 so 8325. We have several new styles coming.
