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 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.

When sorrow knocks at the heart
the wise man lets her in; she Is often
only joy's messenger.
It is better to overestimate your
own worth than to waste all you hava
while envying that of others.
