In the news of receut «qierations on the New York mat ket there is an interesting statement that the basis iu the rise of prices was a fa vorable forecast of the President’s message, a portion of which was re ported to coincide with Mr. Ilarri man's prophecy at a recent dinner.

Hill, the father of the president of this National Apple Show, arrived in Spokane, and said : ‘Louis, they’re going to give an apple show, you go up and buy the apples.’ ‘Fa ther,’ said Louis, ‘I don’t want to be impertinent, but you haven’t got money enough to buy the apples.’ ‘Well, how much is it going to cost you?’ ‘Why, $500,000.’ ‘Louis, my son; buy all you can.’ “Now it was my thought that Spokane, that intense gathering of human dynamos and concentrated efforts of united love and affection, never does anything unless it does it better than anybody else. James J. Hill had been accustomed to the Minnesota apple; had never seen a Spo kane apple. JWtaro Fublie, School« Owv Xtltox«ry Budgot K U IIC A T IO X A L r o P l i * . •rilK .VIA«AZINKM On Saturday December 12th, the principals of the various schools in the county together with the county school superintendent held a meet ing at Grass Valley, Oregon, and discussed a number of things per taining to school work. Among the items considered were the following: The arrangements foi the debate between Sherman and Crook coun ty high school teams, Friday, Jan. 8th, 1909, at Moro. The feasibility of bolding a field meet with The Dalles and Hood River at some time during school year. The Ind jstrial fair was discussed and it was decided to consider the matter o( such an organization more fully at the next local teach er’s institute, to be held at Grass Valley some tim e ih January. -.-■It seems to be the uefticensus of opinion among the members pres ent at this meeting that the coming Bheroan county field Beet will have to be held elsewhere than at Moro; for the reason that there is no «nil- able place in ihe city, since ih» des truction of the opera hou-e by fire; in which to hold the declamatory contest. Moro is in need of an opera house. A committee was appointed to draft a constitution and hy-Lws to govern the Bherman county Debat ing league, said committee is to re port at tire next regulag meeting, which will l>e held in January. The heart turns back as years roll by, Love na»rows as the world grows wide, And at eaoh Chnstmas-season I Dream of an earlier Christmas- tide: Mother and child’s sweet festival; Across the miles of driven snow That warp the vanished days, I call The mother whom we used to know. ------------- > s<i ■ ■ — For, surely, of all fetes, the best Were thoso when, watched so ten derly, You were a baby at her breast And I a child beside her knee;- Were those when, at the death of day, We heard the story simply told Which, ’though the whole broad earth grow gray, Can nevermore for us grow old. And so it seems that, when the night Falls on our calm, last Christmas eve, The faith she gave us for our light Will no more cheat us, or deceive; But that, as morning breaks more fair, And life’s last gift is sacrificed; The mother’s smile will greet us there To keep the festival of Christ. -‘—December Delineator.
