Oh, wouldn't life be monotonous With nothing: else to do But ent and sleep and fold your hands And rock the whole day through? To be born with a silver apoon In your mouth. To never know the Joy Of earning that first dollar When you were a growing boy; To never dream what you would do When you got to be a man And had a trade and drew good pay - And carried a dinner can; To never feel that wondroua thrill Of drawing the first pay And hear the boss say, "You're the gooda; You get a raise pay day;" To never rise to a higher place. To put no cash In the bank And have no one In this wide world But your boneat aelf to thank; To never feel the happiness Of saying to your bride, "I've bought this home with my own earnings And have more In the bank beside." Let others suck their silver spoons And rock their chairs all day. I prefer to work while God lets me And draw an honest pay. C. M. BARNITZ. 1 VAUDEVILLE AND PICTURES o n L General Merchandise.

On Tuesday of last week, Prof. M. S. Pittman and the writer visited the school at Lexington. The teaching force of the school is composed of Prof. L. A. Doak, principal, and Misses Alice Thay er, Eva Swanson, . Ramona Bis sell, and Florence Olmstead. The interior of the building has been greatly improved by a new coat of paint. The high school room has been divided to better accom modate the work. A fine labora tory is being fitted up, and the work in physics and chemistry will be made thorough.- The Smith system of heating and ventilating, recently installed, seems to be giving excellent sat isfaction. New shades have been provided for all the windows, and the light is carefully regulated. The work of the year is well be (run. and everything indicates that the pupils are doing good work and are enjoying it. With the- additional teacher in the high school, much better work is made possible. After the writer and Prof. Pittman had enjoyed the hospit ality of the Carmichael home during the noon hour, W. G. Scott brought them to Heppner in his Ford buggy. District Mo. 64 has voted a bond issue for the purpose of building a new schoolhouse. Until the new building is com pleted the school will be held in a rented building. District No. 8 will vote upon a bond issue, Oct. 1. If the bonds are voted, a modern two-room building will be erected. KURIOS FROM KORRESPON DENTS Q. Which do you prefer the long house or the colony bouse? A. We pre fer the long house. It Is cheaper, warmer, requires less ground and Is a labor saver. Carrying feed from one colony house to another through snow and wintry wind is no joke. Q. How about keeping moth balls In nest while hens are hatching? A. They don't amount to much. Dust with louse powder instead. Q. flow long does it take for a chick to kick the shell? A. A vigorous chick generally comes out five to ten hours after pipping shell. y. now mucn ougut Toulouse gos lings a month old weigh? A. From four to tive pounds. Q. Do hen and duck eggs hatch well together? A. No. Duck are larger than hen eggs, and eggs should be of like size for the hen to turn and heat them well. Heus' eggs hatch a week earlier thus duck eggs will get smeared, and the hen is apt to leave them to mother the chicks. Q. Is beef blood good for chickens. ahd how is it prepared? A. It is boiled in a sack, but must be fed moderately. It is not so safe nor good as cut green bone. Q. How is sulphur for a bug killer and a hen tonic? A. Burning sulphur to kill red mites we have not found ef fectual. Much of It goes through the cracks in the average henhouse, and mites that are affected revive. It is a blood purifier, but if weather gets damp while fowl has sulphur in its system rheumatism often results. Q. Is beef scrap so prepared that it will not deteriorate with age? Some manufacturers claim their scrap cannot spoil. A. We draw the line at three months. That's three months too old for some. CASTOR I A For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature ef PEOPLE who do not know Should know that FRIEDRICH "THE TAILOR" turns out the best fitting and best made clothes in Heppner FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS. Many do not bother testing eggs set under hens, but such eggs are just as apt to be infertile as those in an in cubator, and thus the hatch is lost These eggs need not be brought to the bouse and thus rendered liable to chill. nor need a lamp be taken to the nest. Use an electric flashlight It's dandy for the purpose and safe anywhere. One great thing about geese is that after they are about three weeks old they can paddle their own canoe. All you need do is to furnish water nnd grass. And don't forget that hens turn grass into greenbacks too. Green stuff takes the place of high priced grain when fed as part of the ration, and yet lots of fanciers whom greens cost nothing let their fowls suffer for it all summer. Mrs. George W. Simpson of Camden. N. J., claims to have a hen that lays an egg in which Is inclosed a bright new nickel. She should take this hen and mate her to a Golden Wyandotte, and then perhaps she will hatch out a golden eagle. The editor of . an English poultry Journal suggests the extension of the period of consumption of the turkey to prevent a glut of birds at Christmas Think of that, you ' turkey hungry American who couldn't get a turkey at Christmas because there was none or because you couldn't raise the dough to buy the high priced high perch per fecto. Birds with heavy fluffs like Cochins often lay infertile eggs during the breeding season to the surprise of their owner. To prevent this it Is the habit of some to trim or pull the fluffs just as the tails of fan tail pigeons are of ten cut The Leghorn was brought to this country from Italy in 1853 and has sus tained its fame in the laying game ever since. It is the most numerous breed in America today. It is the busi ness hen that Is the foundation of the poultry business, and, though every lit tle while some fancier proclaims the debut of a breed that will surpass the Leghorn in egg production, the Leg horn keeps on the Job and retains the egg championship of the earth. The older ducks get the later they lay in the season, and the fewer eggs they lay tho fatter they get The big plants market breeding ducks after their second season, as after that they do not pay. We adviso our graduates of agricul tural colleges that though their alma mater rather adorns them with a halo, that halo Is soon worn to a frazzle when they take the platform at a farm ers' institute, and are unprepared to answer the questions propounded. That question box Is a trap that has caught many a fellow who has depended on his halo to carry him through.
