Large Percentage Pass Exami nationMany Ladies..' The August examination of ...ZIEROLF... Carries the newest, best and most complete line of O K E R Y applicants ior county and state certificates closed Satm day . The attendance was unusually small with a larger percentage than ever of lady applicants. The average age of those applying is 1 higher than ever before, which is a good indication of an efficient corps of county teachers. There were very few of the applicants under age which is a spurce of favorable comment on the part of the examining board. The one observation that indicates more than all things else the retrograd ing of the service is the continued decrease in the percentage of gen tlemen teachers. This is due almost solely to the lack of re munerative wages. A married man cannot teach, school and maintain a decent standard of living. Men teachers are very necessary. There are times in the life of every child when a male teacher needs to take con trol and guide its future. The names of the successful candidates ire as follows: First grade Ethel Kyle, Margaret Fowells and Mrs. Herman Smith. Special credit is due Miss Kyle, wjjp received the highest general average of those examined, 91 5-12 per cent, also Mrs. Smith, who after an absence from active teaching for several years, re ceived a verv fine grade. The successful candidates for second grade certificates were, Autie McClun, Lillith McKen ney, May Robinson, Minnie Ma son. Earl Brown, John Bennett and Audie Pugh. Miss McClun received the highest general average in this class, 00 y2 per cent. For third grade, Miss Edna Thompson, Ada Finley, Bertha Edwards, Isabel Whitby,- Etta Fuller, Nora Pratt, Lulu Young, Marie Jones and Ray Robinson receiving certificates, the highest average 09 per cent, Deing re ceived by Miss Thompson. The following ladies received grade sufficientlv high to entitle them second grade papers but for lack 01 experience in teaching: were awarded only third grade: Edna Thompson, Bertha Edwards, Ada Finley, Isabel Whitby and Etta Fuller. The list of questions was some what lighter than those given in February, but were equally com prehensive and completely cov ered the different branches and on the whole was a lair and rep resentative examination. As always occurs on such oc casions, there were interesting an swers to questions,' some of them serious, others given in a spirit of pure roguishness, the mischief loving propensities of the appli cant mastering her desire for a high grade, borne of these an swers were so appropriate that the board granted them full value for their answer. Following are some of the questions and answers: - What is the main issue at the present time between the domi nant political parties? One is trying to get there and the other is trying to stay there, or Roose velt and Parker. W men are the two most im portant waterways of North America? Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

Surely Benton . may expect to reap a good Harvest from sucn a lne entire examination was characterized by cheerful en thusiasm and high grade work. The bright mature and intelli gent faces of the applicants were source of great inspiration .to the examining board. Benton county ought to pay its teachers better, they de-erye it and ought to get it. A unique and no doubt a highly entertaining and .enjoyable bas ket meeting will be held at Phil omath in the grove next Sunday, commencing at 9.30 in the morn ing and continuing all day. The special feature of the day will be that the ola folks will have charge. All old persons, living in or near Philomath, no matter what their creed, will be entitled to a hear- Old Folks' Meeting. Disastrous Albany Fire. Blackened walls, charred tim bers, a' pile of partially burned and thoroughly soaked hay, and gen eral wreck and devastation mark the spot where stood the Albany Lunch Counter, the " George Neeley delivery barn, and the Chamberlain meat market, on East First street. This is the re sult of a fire that started at a little after 1 1 o'clock Saturday morn- I ing in the : Neeley barns and, spreading with lightning-like ra pidity, soon enveloped in destroy ing flames the three structures mentioned. The fire started in a pile of hay in the barn, and when first seen had almost spread over the floor of the structure, and was burning through, the walls of the two ad'oihing buildings, the lunch counter of McKillop & Churchill, and the market of the Albany Dressed Meat company, conducted by H. C. Chamberlain.

As there are several very old peo ple living in and about Philo math, those lives have been large- y wrapped up with the early his tory of Oregon, the meeteng will no doubt be very rich in remines cences. -The' meeting will also be in the nature of an experience meeting, each, if he or she de sires, telling the story of his re ligious life. Conveyances will be provided for all who have no means of getting there, and a big dinner will be served in the grounds. The day ' s program will begin with Sunday School at 10 o, clock, then preaching at n o'clock by Bishop Castle, and the remainder of the day -will be giv en up to telling1 experiences. Everybody is invited to attend Must Use the Sewer. directed on the front in order to save the buildings from being set on fire from the intense heat. Fly ing embers fell as far away as the Southern Pacific station and had there been wind, the . major por tion of the business section of Al bany would have been seriously menaced. The origin ot the fire is a mys tery. That it started in the hay, all agree. But it is strange how it did start there. One theorv . is that some one threw a match down while lightiug a cigarette. Wilson, the fellow who was arrest ed during the fire, was seen go ing into the barn about five min utes before the blaze was discov ered, and it is thought that he went inside to sleep ; in ; the hay, the belief gaining ground that he laid down and while smoking set the hay on fire. : : : Ue don't Want to hurry you!
