Plow Shares Sharpened Double Trees and Single Trees Woodworking Tank Lumber and Hardwood TH’ OLE COUNTRY SCHOOL By Kin Hubbard “What memories fondly twine about th’ little red schoolhouse in th’ valley,” says some writer. Th’ only country schools o’ my boyhood days that I kin recall stood brown and ■npaintod on a barren knoll, an in- up fourteen or fifteen dollars a month. But romance an’ a io< fer th’ wild, had not a little t’ do with their in clination f break homo ties. Th’ youths gave up home an’ all f teach in the grove, were more often impel led by economic reasons rather than a mere desire t’ disseminate know ledge. So it .will be seen that th’ country lads an’ lassies who attended th’ ole time country schools wus tot by those who needed th’ money an* not by warm sympathetic teachers conditions that have changed th’ far mer from a be whiskered, unsophistic ated ole coot t’ a clean shaven up-to- date fox, have revolutionised the ' an' th’ ground, which area afforded country school system. Th’ schools a fine recruitin' station for rabbits. are built along scientific lines, skunk proof, well ventilated an’ heated. would let out on account of a skunk. They are furnished with modern seats pianos, workshops, lavatories, an’ everything necessary fer turnin’ out a first class intellectual giant Th’ students are hauled to an’ fro from ther homes in passenger vans, or in privately owned automobiles. Th’ scolars are tat eve’thing from the name o* th’ great manufacturin’ city at th’ junction o’ the Alleghany an’ th' Monongahela rivers,t' how t' make a lamp shade or a blue print frame. But there is t'day many men an' women left in this country who em erged from th’ little “red” school house scarcely able t’ name th’ capital o’ th' United States, an’ with only a half hearted belief that th’ earth wus round. But they picked up readily, an’ t’day, after well rounded lives, many o’ them are gliding down th’ slope o’ life in luxurious limosines. Country school teachers o’ 'th’ red flannel underwear age boarded with th’ school directors—a month with one, then a month with another—-an’ after a long winter diet o* hominy, backbone, thick pies an’ hot biscuits an’ molasses, they would return t’ civilisation with complexions like an English walnut and twenty two or three dollars. Squire Marsh Swal low likes t* tell about th’ time, yean ago, when, as a young sqirt jest out o’ th’ third reader, he applied for a country school t’ teach. Th’ school directors put him through ah ex amination an’ th’ last question they asked him wus, ’’Does th* sun rise in east or th’ west?” And Marsh an swered, ”1 teach both ways,” an’ he got th’ school. • 1 GOOD HAWKS AND BAD ,The red-shouldered hawk and the broad-winged hawk prey upon the destructive rodents of the farm, and they are enormously valuable to ag riculture. The most destructive hawks we have over large areas of our central and southern states are the sharp-shinned and the Cooper’s hawk. These hawks usually perch in a tree. In many places pole traps are set up for the ^purpose of catching hawks. The broad winged hawk and the red shouldered hawk do not hide in a tree; they do not feel that it is necessary for them to secrete them eelves. Along comes an enthusiastic, well-meaning, but not well-informed game protector; he puts up a pole trap because he saw a hawk catch a quail. Flyihg slowly across the field comes a hawk which is bene ficial to agricultural interests, alights on the pole to look ground the mead ow for the mouse or rat that is work ing near, and is eaught instantly, and subsequently reported among the other vermin that have been killed. —T. G. Pearson, President National Audubon Society. When delivering gasoline at Moro last Thursday R. L Kunaman was sud denly attacked with intense abdominal pain. He was taken to Dr. Wonder lick at Wasco, who diagnosed the at tack as rupture of a gas^o ulcer of the stomach* He was then taken to The Dalles where he underwent an operation soon after arrival at the hospital. Up to the time of the at tack Mr. Kuisman bad no warning of sickness and had experienced no pain previous to the seizure. He is re covering rapidly and will soon be able to leave the hospital. Dr. C. L Poley took Ray Miller to a hospital at The Dalles late Wednes day night following injuries received in an auto accident south of Kent. Miller was in charge of the Winnie Helyer farm While Helyer was away fishing. Wednesday night he and an other young man were driving a Ford car without lights when the car got out of control and went into the ditch. Miller was pinned under the car, receiving injuries to his back that will keep him in the hospital for at least six weeks. A federal employment service bur eau of the U. S. department of labor was opened this week in the epuqty agent's office, at The Dalles, under the management of Harold V. Sim mons of Dufur who served In a sim ilar capacity last summer. The work of distributing harvest help began being sent out to various harvest grounds. * n They are predicting four years of prosperity.
