3 A SURE THING. LEXINGTON GROWS Pi 1 ft 5P I Pi 2?, I VOL. I LEXINGTON, OREGON, THURSDAY APRIL 12, 1906 NO. 29 SCHOOL NOTES The last month of school is well un der headway and the end of this month will tell whether the pupils work for this year will count or not. The time has come In this country when only thorough work counts and the condi tions are more exacting every year. I wonder how many parents realize this. It seems that many have not thought of this yet and are allowing their children to form careless habits, simply by not keeping at their school work. Your teachers can work as hard as they please to help your child when he is at school, but when you al low him to stay at home a part of the time this work is made many times harder and it Is Impossible for the pu pil to accomplish satisfactory work un der such circumstances.. The field meet for the boys will take place Friday afternoon. The boys vould be glad to meet teams from Heppner or lone some time before school closes. i Preparations for the recital Friday evening are about completed. We think you will not be disappointed if you attend. A small charge of fifteen cents has been decided upon as the admission fee. All we are figuring on making Is enough to pay expenses but if there Is any surplus it ,will probably be divided between the school and the churches. The recital will commence at eight o'clock In Artisan hall. The Wheatfleld prints the .news. - THE HEN THAT WORKS. The hen Is naturally Industrious, and she should not be compelled to remain Idle by being cooped up In a dark, filthy house, with leaky roof and bare floor. She should be encouraged to work, and a place should be provided for her If it Is Impossible to have & seperate scratching shed, arrange dropping boards under the roosts and cover the floor with straw and throw grain In this. Any kind of small grain 13 good tha best being oats, millet and barley. Corn is an excellent win ter food, but should be given only In the afternoon. During the severe weather it Is better If warmed or partially browned in the stove: Drink ing water should also be slightly warm ed just enough to take off the chill. The hen that works will lay, and just as sure as day follows night the one that does not work will not lay. SENTENCE SERMONS By Henry F. Cope. The demons are all afraid of a hap py man. ' Yesterday's cloud is today's refresh ing. The master's back shows the ser vant's true face. Faultless people are usually force less. No man ought to complain of the pain that cures pride. Tomorrow's shadow Is always heav ier than today's duty. - If your religion interferes with your business the chances are it needs to. This Is always a good world to those who are doing good work. The best arguments, for religion will always be in lives rather than In libra ries. It is the sacrifice we make for ideals that determines the value of the real. The length of life we cannot deter mine, but its strength and value we may. Sin may be often covered, but it is never concealed. You may well afford to forego the fortune that makes you forget the good. KheumatUm Make Life Mlncrable. A happy home Is the most valuable possession that is within the reach of mankind, but you cannot enjoy its com forts if you are suffering from rheuma tism. You throw aside business cares when you enter home and you can be relieved from those rheumatic pains also by applying Chamberlain's Pain Balm. One application Will give you relief and its continued use for a short time will bring, about a permanent cure. For sale by W. P. McMillan.
