ex-
r luck of
au.iuuei usually lastin mc
education of their children. Few
visit the schools where their chil
dren are trained for we.il or woe.
The hired man is watched very
Ciirefullv about the caring for the
cattle and hogs, but the individual
who is appointed to care for the
children six hours every day ie
often a stranger to parents or
guardians. Some say, "I ani no
teacher and believe in leaving the
work to the ones who profess to be
able to teach." But we must re
member that our presence at school
may be of great value in encoura
ging him who knows how to do
better and to keep our children,
and their teacher, from getting
careless and negligent of duty.
IIow much good our presence and
an encouraging word now and then
may do, eternity only can fully
answer, and how much evil a care
less, indifferent manner a grum
bling about "that teacher" in the
presence of our children may do,
can never be fully realized. An
other common mistake consists in
hiring teachers with reference to
Falary only. Many ia the term of
Bchool taught each year by weak,
incompetent teachers, simply be
cause they will work cheap, when
$5 or 110 a month would secure a
live, wide awake teacher who would
bo a power for good in the school,
' instead of allowing open disobedi
enceand careless, unscholary habits
to be formed. The wise farmer
considers it poor economy to let a
good hand go for the sake of a few
dollars increase in wages. Why
not apply the same principle to
teachers where the result of poor
wort cannot be estimated in dol
lars and cents only. Ten dollars
more a month to secure a good
teacher may meaa 25 cents or 50
cants more a month from you. If
you are poor your burden will be
correspondingly light, wh:Je your
children will receive as much bene
fit from the superior training of a
good teacher as your wealthy neigh
bor's, and if wealthy you can hard
ly contribute to a better cause and
at the same time be throwing safe
guards arouud yourself and prop
erty. ''Ignorance is the curse of
Cod, knowledge the wing where
with we fly to heaven." It often
happens that very poor people with
large families object to building a
new school house, hiring a good
teacher or purchasing a library,
when the extra tax would not cost
as much as a single vice would cost
in a week. A man in a city in
this state spent a great deal of time
arguing against building a new
school house, the cost of which, it
was ascertained, would increase his
taxes ten cents.
Mr. ami Mrs. E. A. May Visited the
school lust Friday.
The rt'srular monthly examination will
take place the last of this week.

There is now appearing upon the
register S3 pupils ol the principal's
mnm fil in the primary room, it
being very crowded in the primary de
partment. The teacher is compelled to
place the pupils three in a seat.
The pupils of the Condon public school

By referring to your local papers yon frequently note tbe ad. of Interior
merchants who, with conopicious signs, ay: "We tell at Arlington

low prices or there would be no need for tiich statesmenisT Before pur
chasing you' fall supplies or the smaller bills got prices from us.
In agricultural Implements we have the favorite Monitor Drills subject
to four attachments, via, hoe, disc, press wheels or shoe.
The Oliver and Flying Dutchman Plows are hard to beat for good cloan

will he here in September.
When in need of a chop mill, hay press, windmill, sewing machine, or
any kind of machinery used on the farm, write us for prices and we will

The following from the New Age,
the official organ of the California

of interest:
"During the year 1897, 87,613
brothers and 5.707 widowed fami
lies shared in the $3,422,980.50
distributed in relief.
"During the year 1899 in the
territory under the immediate su
pervision of the Sovereign Grand
Lodge the net gain in membership
was 42.GG9, and at the close of that
year the total membership was
1,003,572. The total revenue of
the order for that year was $9,643,
080.80, an increase over the preced
ing year of $876,687.30.' The total
expenditures during 1899 was $7,-
994,824.85, leaving a surplus reve
duo of $1,643,255.01."
