Not more than throe years ago some very “smart’ peo one night, on his

“The other day that great genius of industry, James J.
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.

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.
Oh, every year hath its winter,
And every year hath its rain;
But,a day is always coming
When the birds go north again.
