Strictly in Advance. Entered as aecond-clawi mutter March 1, no", at the post office at Dallas, Oregon, under the Act of Conirresn of March 3, 187'..

State Superintendent J. H. Acker man has prepared a tabulated list of the months of schooling in the various counties of Oregon, for the purpose of Illustrating the value of a bill calling for six months schooling uniformly throughout the state. In Polk county alone the list shows that in four dis tricts they have only four months of school. In five districts only five and in 13 districts only six months. In many of the other counties, the fig ures show an even greater proportion of districts having only four or even three months of school in a year. The pupils in public schools of short teims must labor under an enormous hand icap in comparison with those of the districts in which longer terras have been arranged. The only way in which opportunity may be equalized and justice given to all who come under the jurisdiction of our state educational system, is by making the length of term, in rural districts at least, uniform, and by making its minimum sufficient that the footing of the rural and city schools may be more nearly equal. The effort which is being made to bring these circum stances about is to be highly commended. A six weeks' course in horticulture is now under way at the Agricultural College, Corvallis, Oregon, and the attendance from different parts of the state being more than double that of last year. Some of the most Interest Ing work in the course is yet to come Many fruit-growers are unuble to at tend the course for the entire six weeks, but are able to come for a few days or several weeks. The course is open to them at any time. There will be two weeks more of apple packing and work iu budding and grafting. In addition tothis, special lectures are given on the various (ilias-s of fruit growing, truck gardening and laud scape gardening. Beginning February 8, a fpeeial course of two weeks will be giwn in walnut grafting. The most important methods of walnut grafting will be taken up, including the very success ful and famous Payne method. In addition to the lectures, practice will be given in the work including' nursery grafting, and the fop-work- j ing of the large American black wal-! nut trees found scattered over the State. During the last two weeks of the course two hours a day of practical instruction will be given in spraying, pruning, staking aud setting of orchards. This work includes apples, grapes, peaches, cherries, etc. Special lectures will be given by some of the best authorities on horti culture to be found in the Northwest. I These courses are open to any one j interested in horticulture. George , E. Chamberlain is elected United States democrat Senator Oregon Legislature requires hotels to use sheets 9 feet long and there are only ii 11 II il W JyL X l at the Dallas Mercantile Company's Store "Maudlin sentiment," a good, old, well-worn stock expression, comes to hand with admirable aptness todesig uate that eptcif-s of sympathetic hysteria which leads the Humane Society to start a movement for a national petition from the children of the United Stat'-s, urging President Roosevelt to give up his African exdition on the grounds that "the slaughter of wild game, as now practiced, Vi no matter what purpose, gives an impulse that is opposed to our efforts as members of the Hand of Mercy." As Mr. Roj.evi-lt is contrary to being a sentimentalist, a man ot Intensely practical thought and action, he will no doubt give that touching appeal exactly what it merits his polite disregard. The scheme of using the Influence of children to obtain an end, is no newer than it is laudable. The same plan has been usee) to forward missionary schemes, help out in efforts to secure the enactmnnt of p"t laws and once it was attempted to raise fund-i for send ing Captain Peary on nun of his periodical and fruitless dashes. (Torts of that sort an: neither funny enough to laugh at, nor pathetic enough to weep over; their -ff ct on the average person is a state of dull nausea.

Pa says a thermometer is a machine invented by the drug store propriet rs for the purpose of driving humanity to drink. 1 asked Pa what was meant hy "a butter-in" and he said it was a churn run by a dairy iiiuid. I saw Julia doing the butter-in act, go I began churning out some wise re marks about the need of bosses hav ini; vacations "But." aie said, "von niv in i a boss." .So," I said, I "am not a real boss ; I tun a butter-in boss." She didn't sf the point It's all in your point of view. Humor is the jokes you get off yourself; nonsense is what th girl gets off. Some butter has tailow or wagon grease in it Our butter is too g'Xid to grease anything but your interior decorations. Made of pure cream with a dash of salt but no coloring or foreign substance of any kind. Kioli and sweet, just like our full cream cheese from York State.
