Ï OOg We Haven’t Killed Hany Bears 8 8 But we have hammered away night and day for 16 consecutive years at the pre- ( scription counter with the result of having attained the largest prescription file in the county. There’s a reason for this. Anyone can dish out patent medicines, but when it comes to filling prescriptions you want a competent man at the tiller, so to < speak, with a clear eye and a clear head -in fact, a man who realizes that a human life baugs in the balance. We do this; it’s our specialty.

The mass meeting Thursday evening of last week, called for the purpose of discussing the questions |>ertaining to McMinnville's electric light plant, was largely attended by the taxpayers of the city. Superintendent Sliger submitted a report, wherein he showed that with the expenditure of the sum oi $4,000 the city could place in ojteration a complete sys tem of arc and incandescent lights, with sufficient power to operate the same sue cessfttlly. E. Cannon, representing Hie Northwest Engineering Co , submitted some prices and plans, and upon a vote being taken, those present declared unanimously lhal "it is the sense of tho meeting that the council proceed to pur chase a combination inductive dynamo, of sufficient capacity to furnish 1200 in candescent and 35 arc lights, and two new boilers.” Friday evening the coun cil met and received bids from the North west Electric Co. and from the General Electric Co. of Portland. The bid of the first named company was accepted, ft calls for a 1200 light Warren-Mcdbury inductor dynamo of 1000 volt and 16,000 alternations, with extras complete, and 20 standard alternating arc lamj«, for the suut of $2,418.50. The representative of this company further agreed to furnish free att armature or dynamo for oper ating the present system, except the street lights, until the new dynamo could be furnished, which could not be earlier than December 15th. According ly he shipped an armature, but it did not jit, and the city has Iteeit without lights, pending the repair of the old dy namo. It is hoped that tonight the lights will be available for inside service. There are four new students in the 9th grade this week. Rev. Fender and wife were visitors in Miss Greene's room one day last week. There is one'boy in this school who is in the habit of forging excuses. He should read rule 40, page 8. There have been two tardies in the High school already this month. This seems a little outrageous for High school pupils. Those who are in the habit of forget ting excuses for absences or tardiness should observe this: “A pupil with three unexcuseil absences or tardy marks, ami who fails to bring the excuse wheu requested, may be suspended until such excuses are brought.” Pupils in the first and second grades shall be promoted on the judgment of their teacher, without any written test. Hie third and fourth grades must have an average of 70 percent ami not fall below 50 per cent in any one «tody, ritoee in the 5th and 6th grades must average 75 per cent and not fall below 65 per cent in any one study. The 7th and 8th grade students must make an average of 80 fter cent and not fall below 70 jx-r cent in Grammar, History or Arithmetic. In the ftllt and 10th grades they must tnuke nn average of 75 per cent, and those in the 10th grade will be graduated.
