Alton Thompson, by n spirit ot cooperation and fellowship among tho.;o proscut, greater than lias ever been noticeable here before. Interest lu boys and girls' club work should be taken by every per ron engaged in educational work In Oregon, whether actively directing clubs or not, was the declaration ot J. E. Calaran, in charge of club work for the stato department of cduca tlon, at the Deschutes county teach crs 'Institute. Club work for boys and girls Is a national educational movement, but ono in which Oregou is taking a lead ing part. Raid Calavan, with great Huccess due to the close cooperation between Superintendent Churchill's office and the agricultural college. Projoct.s Numerous Projects carried on by tho numer ous clubs in Deschutes county Include those of cookery and sowing, potato growing, certified potato seed rais ing, poultry raising, pork production. calf and sheep raising, and canning All of the clubs are now in the rural schools, but tho club work will be inaugurated in Deud soon, Calavan stated. Besides tho divisions mentioned above, there are in Oregon clubs in general agriculture, corn and potato raising, gardening, dairy herd record keeping, home beautiflcatlon, home making, milk and angora goat rals ing, rabbit raising, stock Judging and others. Cooking is divided into home and camp cookery, and the other lines of work are subdivided The adoption ot uniform standards for measuring the work of pupils was urged by .Professor Richardson of V. of O. in his. address this morning, "Measuring the Product of Our Looms." To answer the argument that mind cannot bo measured. Rich ardfon stated that the purpose of education Is, among other ;r things, to produce changes In the pupils; that these changes exist, and therefore must exists In amounts, which can be measured. Graxlo Not Uniform The futility of attempting to grade pupils by Individual Judgment was demonstrated In a table which showed the gradesc given to a teacher on (our examination papers, by seven county superintendents. On this one teacher's examination in United States history, the grades ranged from 4i to 91; and on geography, reading and even arithmetic, the variations were almoBt as great. The possibility ot having uniform standards for grading in various sub jects was demonstrated. Dr. George R.. Varney of I.Infleld college spoke In tho morning, descrlb ing the duty, ot the teacher In foil ing and carrying forward civilization, which has become a difficult tatk since tho recent war.

There's nothing to base It on. There' Then for a moment, as they stepped out tif this, post office, be gave up the thought, even ot comparative riches. Twenty feet away, a man mid a girl won- approaching, talking us though there never had been the slightest trouble between them. It' was Maurice Itodntne and Auitti Richmond; they came closer, her eyes turned toward Fnlrchlld, and then She went on, without sponfclnc, with out taking the trouble to notice, up parcutly, that he had been Mnndlng there. After this, then! was little rntivcrsa tlon until Harry anil Fairchlld litul reached the hoarding house. Then, with Mother Howard for nn adviser, the three gathered In the old parlor. and Fnlrchlld related tho events of the night before, milling what had happened nt the post office, when An! tn had passed him without shaking, Mother Hownnl, her arms folded as usual, bobbed her gray head.

"Whlrh Is?" "Anita '. Any fool ought to be able to know Hint. That stroke last night was the second one for the Judge. There usually nln't any more nftcr the third one.

It's as plain to me ns the iinp on Harry's face." "Which Is quite plain," agreed Fnlr rtillil ruefully. Harry rubbed the lh heled proliosrls, pawed at his mus, tnrhe and lldgeted In his chair. "I understand that, nil right." ho announced nt last, "But why should anybody wiint to buy the mine?" It brought Falrrhlld to the reallzn tlon of n new development, nnd ho brought forth the letter, once uioru to stnro at It. "Fifty thousand dollars Is a hit of money,' came at last. "And. what then?" Mother Howard, still looking through uncolorcd glstses, took the letter and scanned it. "You two nln't quitters, are you?" "'()o, us?" Harry bristled. "Yes, you. If you are, get your selves a piece of paper and write to Denver nnd take the offer. If you nln't keep on fighting." "I believe you're right, Mother How nrd." Fnlrchlld had reached for the letter ngnlii mid was staring at It us though for Inspiration. "That amount of money seems to be a great ileal. Still, If a person will offer that much for n mine when there's nothing In sight to show Its value. It ought to mean that, there's something dark lu Hip woodpllp nnd that Hip thing's worth fighting out. And personally speaking, I'm willing to fight I" "I never quit In my life!" Harry straightened In his rhalr mid his iiiiih tnche stuck forth pugnaciously. Moth er Howard looked down at him, presseif her tips, then smiled. "No," she nunouni'cil, "except to run away like a whipped pup after you'd gotten a poor lonely bourdlng-hoiisu keeper In love with you I" "Mother 'Owitrd.

The en gines ceased their chugging, the couch Ing swirl of the dirty water as It came from the drift, far below, stopped Slowly two wenry men Jogged down the rutty road to the narrow, winding highway which led through Kentucky gulch and Into town. That night Fairchlld did not lie awake tn start1 about him In tho durk ness. Ills eyes closed wearily, yet with n wholesome fatigue. Nor did he vvukc until Hurry wus pouiiillug on the door In the ilnwu of the morn Ing. Once more the pumps; once more the struggle against the heavy tlm hers; once more the "clunk" of the ax as It bit drop Into wood, or the pounding of hummers ns great spikes were driven Into plnre.

A peculiar gurgling sound hail come from the ends of the hose, and the flow depreciated greatly; Instead of the steady gush of water, a slimy silt was coining out now, spraying and splattering about on the sides of thn drainage ditch. Wildly Hurry wuved a monstrous paw. '.Shut 'em off!" he yelled to Fnlr chlld In the dimness of the tunnel, "Shut 'Em Off! It's 8ueklng tht Muck Out or the Sumpl" It's sucking the muck out of the sump! That means the 'ole drift 1 iinwntered." Then Hip pumping Job's over?" "Yeh." Hurry rose. "You stay rre and dismantle the pumps, so we can send 'em hack. I'll go to town. We've got to buy some stuff." Then he started off down the trail, while Falrrhlld went to his work. And In. sung as he dragged at the heavy iiubi-, iiiiik nm iiviure null, wurs 1 which wns progressing toward n goal that he had determined to seek, In spite of nil obstacles.

Mure, Hip conversation with Mother Howard on Hip previous morning hnd been comforting; It had given n wom an' viewpoint upon another woman's net Ions, Ami Fnlrahlld Intuitively be lieved she was correct. A shout from Hie road, accompanied by Hip roaring of a motor truck, an nounced tho fact Hint Harry was mak ing his return. Five men were with hhn, to help him carry In ropes, heavy pulleys, weights and n large metnl shaft bucket, then to move nut tho smaller of the pumps and trundle away with them, leaving the larger ono and tho larger engine ror it single load. At Inst Hurry turned to his paraphernalia mid rolled up his sleeves. "'Frit's where wo work I" ho an nounced.
