Outdoor exercise for school teach
ers is the recommendation which
the Oregon Normal school is mak
ing to its students, many of whom
in a short time will be rural school
teachers. S. II. Bothers, teacher
of the Greenwood rural school, in
eastern I'olk county, is the first
to carry the advice into actual
practice.
Mr. Bethers, who is a resident
of Monn.outh, starts out in the morn
ing, not in a cart or on a horse, bu t
on his feet. He gathers up his
books and his lunch pail, and walks
via Independence. There he takes
the Salem road. It is seven miles
to the Greenwood school. After
school is out in the afternoon, Mr.
Mothers walks back to Monmouth,
muking his total walking distance
on a school day fourteen miles.
Every mile walked is a mile fur
ther to the "heaven of efficiency,"
thinks Mr. Methers. The walk,
he finds, is not tiresome, for he has
been walking back and forth for
over three months, and the way
seems much shorter than when he
first began. From two to two and
a half hours is the time needed to
reach the school in the mornings,
but the way back to Monomouth is
made with a feeling of less punctu
ality. It is not to save transportation
charges that the seventy miles a
week are made by foot, is the ex
planation, but because "I want the
exercise." After eating his early
breakfast and taking this walk, Mr.
Bethers says he feels more like
tackling the work of the day and
that other school teachers would do
well to take more walking exercis

Mrs. Abram S. Locke was buried
in Independence last week. She
died in Por tlad.
Harry Quiring, a member othe
coast artillery, enlisting from Dal
las, died last week following an op
ration for appendicitis.
Mrs. Jennia Williams, aged 57,
died in Dallas March 5. She was
born in Iowa and had lived in Dal
las for twenty five years.
There will be no more round ups
at Philomath, the buildings and
fences which formerly housed this
attraction have been taken down to
satisfy creditors.
Bert Cross of Independence is vis
iting here this week. Mr. Cross is
quite a bible student and marvels
greatly that ministers claiming to
be filled with the spirit and called
of God to preach the glad tidings,
can yet find time to mingle with
the things of the flesh, such as
"acting as a judge at a baby show
or leg race.'" We are inclined to
believe that Brother Cross is just a
little cross with the preachers. The
notion that preachers are in any

The Farmer who Needs New Machinery
Manufacturers are allowed only enough
steel with which to supply orders. No ma
chinery can be built and stored. Added to
this the delays incident to congested
freight traffic and it will be realized that
the farmer who gets new machinery this
spring, mu order at once.
Machinery is the one substitute for
hired help. Better plan out your needs
and come in and let us figure with you.
