"Woolgrowers who have returned
Irom the recent meeting of the Na
tional Woolgrowera' convention at
Jocate'Io, Idaho, are greatly en
couraged over prospects of good
prices ior tha coming wool clip.
The convention at Pocatello was
attended by growers from all over
the country, es well as buyers from
the leading firms in the United
State, making the oppSrtunities
for getting information as to con-
ditions as good as pobsible to iiud. f
Dr. S. W. McClure, of rendle-1
ton, who is at the head of the Ru-!
reau of Auimal Industry, is of the j
opinion that wool will bring from j
lb to L'0 cents, basing his predic -
tion upon prices already being of-i
fered.
The I'ocitfllo convention eeems ;
!o Lave already brought good re
mlts. According to Dr. MeClure, buy-
era were on the ground, keen for
the pure-base of eny clips oJTered
and lidding from IS to 21 cents.
They were anxious by offering the
higher price to keep the wool from
going into the national warehouse,
which teema to bs an assured euc-
9?BS.
GROCERY TALK
As a matter of fact its hard for one store to sell everyone. While we would like to, conditions are
such that make it impossible, but wherever you buy are you getting all that you are entitled to for
your dollars? Do you ever compare prices? Do you play favorites or do you go where you get
the most for your money. We believe we can truthfully state and back it up with figures and lacts
that we sell you merchandise for less than any othei store in this section. It is true we cannot do
it and put it on the books for six months or a year; that's the reason why we can make you much
closer prices than the store that puts the sales on the ledger instead of in the cash till.
Think it over. If you are buying from us now you know, if you are not give us a trial and see
for yourself.
Marquardsen's Dept. Store
At the close of the meeting 23,
000,000 pounda of wool had bt en
subscribed to the next season's
business and about 10,000,000
pounds more have been promised.
The scheme has met with a hearty
reception among the wool men who
declare that it has already advanced
the price of their clips from 4 to 5
cents per pound.
Many Oregon woolffrowers have
joined in the scheme.

The election on the first ballot of
Geo. R Chamberlain for Senator,
is a matter of little surprise. Sim
ply the fulfillment of a signed
promsse, no more strange thnn the
payment of a signed promissory
note at the bank.
Mr. Chamberlain, a Democrat,
was elected by Republicans, not be
cause they wanted to vote for him,
but because they were forced to
under conditions brought on by
themselves.
The Republicans of Oregon
elected a Republican legislature
and with the same voice assisted
by the Democrats, told the mem
bere of tha legislature to elect a
a Democratic senator.
The Democrats of Or. gon were
right down to business all the time.
The Republicans might have been
better off with less politics and
more business.
The result at leas1 famishes soma
food for thought. Tha lesson ought
to be a good one.

War has been declared throughout
the entire civilized world, not a war
of nation against nation but ail the
nations of the earth united in one
mighty army to do battle against a
common enemy, the mionbe, an ad
versary bo small as to require a high
power microscope to see him. Though
so small he is en enemy not to be de
spised when we think of the hundred
of thmsands of victims he destroys
every year. He is all the more danger
ous because nn-een. Unobserved lie

hthe moutn of the thirsty 'n veler or t ho
sweet, innocent little did I, from whence
he soon finds hi way to the vital
organs of 1 is victim and destroys the
life as certainly,, if not as quickly, as
the bullet r the emnon ball. He
smiles with Satanic pleasure as the
sickly mother kisses her bibe. He
laughs with g'ea as he an 1 his imps
perch upon the lips (f the sweet but
sickly young woman, for like the spider
and the fly, well he knows another
victim will soon appear. He has al

The germ of tubercuUsis alone causes

Have we not just c.iuse for declaring war

do justice to yourself or the school the
next day? Recreation is necessary but
it shoul i be of the kind that gives elas
ticity to the st p, a glow to the cheek,
and a sparkle to the eye.
It is very important that the schoo
building should be properly heat'd,
lighted anrt ventilated. The most diffi
cult problem is that of ventilation.
Builaings are often so constructed that
proper ventilation is almost impassible.
Light should enter the school room from
the left and rear of the pupils snd there
should be at least thirty inches of win
dow surface to each squre foot of floor
space. The walls 6hould be snioo'h, i
painted, and a plain suiface sa as to
catch little dust as nostible a-.d facil-j
itate Cleaning. The seats acd desks
should be the kind to favor the health
ful pn-ftion of the pupil and at the same
tinif I'onduce tt his com'ort. To learn,
the-e must be concentration of the mind.
Iio.v can anyone concen'rate his mind
when he is in bodily discomfort from
heat or cold or an uncomloi t: ble scat.
In this great campaign against the
spread of dieease the teacher plays an
important pai t. Perhaps no me class
of our citizens can accomplish as much
toward stamping out tuberculosis as can
the teachers who prenide oyer sixteen
million pupils. This is certainly a cam
paign of education. Nearly every itate
in the Union now lias a law requi-ing
iriHtt nct'on in physiology and hygiene in (
all of the grades, primary as well as high
school. If it was confined to the higher
gredes many wou'd receive no instruc
tion, as of the five millions who enter
the pumary grade only one mlllio 1 ever
reach the grammar gride and of that
million only one quarter ' of a m llion
ever reach the high school.
Teachers and pupd should be made
to real'ze that hea th is the first consid
eration, without which education h of
little value. Miny educated men have
undergone such a strain of examination
and study that on leaving school with
their diplomas they were unfit to do the
work for which they had teen educated
Physical educa'ioi should be taught in
the normal schools so the teachers may
beoome experts in judging the j hysical
condition of the children. They could
soon learn the signs of failing health so
if a pupil should begin to fall behind in
his studies the teacher could know whe
ther it is on account of ill health or bad
habits. In Massachusetts the pupils are
required to undergo a physical examina
tion at least once a year. The teachers
are fclo supplied with circulars teaching
then, how to detect infectious diseases,
al?o dipeases or defects of the ey, ear,
nose, skin or neivous systems.
