School Notes
Washinerton was brave and true
Men like him are very few.
Oa George Washington's birth
day, his father gave him a hatchet
and the story goes that George cut
twe cherry tree, and the cherries
were made into the pie the Domestic
Science girls served today.

Last Friday owing to the cold
weather Manual Training; wasn't
held upstairs. But mechanical (
drawings were made o£ a, book rack
and flower boac. «
A* the lecture oa Yellowstone
Park Tuesday, February 20, the
school children during intermissions
sang *he following songs — "Old
.Black Joe," "The Bulldog," "My
Bonnie," and Dixie Land.'
Thia being the week of song, the
children again sang at the Silver
Medal Contest, Thursday evening.
Among the songs sung were, "Dixie
Land," (which the girls sang and
boy? whistled) "America," "Star
Spangled Banner,'* "Columbia) the
Gem of the Ocean/' "Is There Any
Better Country Than The U. S. A."
and others. , . _ ,u.u
The teachers of the school Were

en was gaily decorated with red,
whit® and blue papar and flags. Ar
tis'ic ulace cards were made by
some of the girls, and the center
piece was a vase of flags with the
letters. George Washington, clever
ly madw of Pie crust aud placed
around it. The lunch consisted of
delicious cranberry pie, tarts and
coffee. Miss Etta Sundeen served
charmingly as hostess.
After the luncheon eachi person
af the table took on© of the
letters of Georgs Washington,
(around the center piece) and made
a sentence about him, beginning
.with the letter they held. Some
ot the cleverest ones were:

crossed the Deleware.
Heroism is one of George Washing
ton's traits.
Every one in the United States
oupht to honor Washington.
Right living ami high thinking

Your Work and Why It Is Done
There Is a reason for everything, but
we don't I;now the reason for every
thing. There's a : ensou why black Is
black and white Is while, MiU there Is
a reason for kuowing which Is which.
So in your work tind out the reasons
for doing things. You will work better.
You will earu more, for this Is what Is
meant by the big exp esslon "standard
ization of work" it is getting the best
returns for the least expenditure of en
ergy.
The worhl Is strewn with lost energy.
The bulk of the loss could be avoided if
only workers fouud out the reason and
remedied the leakage. Most women
rush headlong to a task. Now, I advo
cate quick action and decisions. But I
object to blind, headlong rushes.
When put to a task find out the causc
of its being done. Cet a deiluite idea
of your work. Get a realization of
■what it leads to. Find out why.
What would you think of an architect
who built a house without working
drawings or an artist who painted a
picture without muking a sketch of his
work? For the same reason make a
plctnre of your work—figuratively.
Every piece of work done in a fac
tory or in business house has an influ
ence on something else. That is why
your work tells in the long run. From
the office boy to the director the work
of each member of a firm Is necessary.
If the office boy forgets to mall an im
portant letter it means a loss to his of
fice. Accuracy in all work helps to cre
ate a solid system and a smoothly cur
rent running of affaire. That Is why
your work, however unimportant it is,
must be done with exquisite care. Nev.
er say, "Ob, it doesn't matter." It may
not matter to you, but it does matter
for the welfare of the concern.—St
Paul IMoneer Press.
Not So Bad.
On the test paper in answer to the
question, "What do we mean by the
plural of a word?" Lucy had written,
"By the plural of a word we mean the
same thing, only more of It."—New
York Times.
Let every man be occupied, and oc
cupied In the employment of which
his nature is capable, and die with the
consciousness that he has done his
best.—Sydney Smith.
John Adama Was a Poor Lftssr.
John Adams, second president of the
United States, was not a good loser.
He wanted another term and worked
hard for It None of the candidates
received a majority of the electoral
votes, and the election was thrown Into
the house of representatives. But Ad
ams had no chance there, for he was
third In the race, and only the two
having the highest number of electoral
votes could be voted for. Thus the
choice lay between Jefferson and Burr,
and Jefferson won. Adams was very
much disgruntled and did everything
in his power to make things unpleas
ant for his successor. He filled every
vacant office he could lay his hands on,
so as to leave as little patronage as
possible for Jefferson. Not only bo,
but in the closing hours of his admin
istration he and his party associates
created twenty-three new Judgeships,
for which there was no necessity, and
worked till the stroke of midnight on
March 3 filling out and signing com
missions for these "midnight Judges,"
as they were called.—Argonaut
The Hydra la Ita Own Doctor.
A tiny marine animal which consists
merely of a stomach and a mouth sur
rounded by tentacles and which is ca
pable- of turning itself inside out Is
called the hydra. Sometimes the hy
dra's mouth becomes overstretched
through Its taking in too much food.
The animal promptly turns itself In
side out, ejects the superfluous food
and then returns to Its normal condi
tion. If it turns itself inside out and
can't get back again it eventually dies.
The hydra Is its own physician and
performs miracles of healing. If a
tentacle Is cut off a complete animal
will be formed out of it If the body
Is cut In half and the pieces placed to
gether they will grow together again;
if not. two entire animals will be form
ed, and any part of one animal will
grow on to the cut surface of another.
Real Heroism.
A story came from Switzerland some
years ago of a mountain guide whose
name was not preserved. He, with
two others, was leading a party over
one of the most precipitous passes of
the higher Alps. The men, as Is usual,
were tied to each other by a long rope.
As they scaled the wall of lee they
slipped on the edge of a frightful
chasm. This innn was at the end of
the rope. Without his weight there
was a chance for the others to regain
their footing; with it there was none.
He cast a glance down at the dark
abyss, filled with fathomless snows,
then drew Ills kuife from liis belt, say
ing quietly to the man nest him:
"Tell mother how it was, Jose."
He cut the rope and fell, never to be
seen of mortal man again.
Tha Mistake.
In his biography of Alexandre Du
mas Harry A. Spurr says that the Im
provident French author, who hated
avarice, was once waiting In line for
his cloak at a soiree when he saw a
millionaire give a tip of 50 centimes (10
cents) to the servant who handed out
his paletot Dumas, getting his cloak,
threw down a 100 franc note. "Pap
don, sir; you have made a mistake, 1
think," said the man, offering to re
turn the note. "No, no, friend," an
swered Dumas, casting a disdainful
glance at the millionaire, "it is the
other gentleman who has made ftie
mistake."
Ready For Her.
"Who are those husky gentlemen?
I never saw them at one of your mu
slcales before."
"Oh, they're all right."
"Do they sing?"
"No, but they'll come In handy. Mme.
Squallerina always wants the piano
moved."—Pittsburgh Tost.
One Mystery Solved.
He—Tou say these biscuits are exact
ly like those your mother used to
make? She-Exactly. He-Then that
explains why your father paid a phy
sician $50 to say that biscuits of any
sort would be absolutely fatal to him.

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.
Faints and Cuts.
Fainting spells or light states
of unconsciousness nre frequent
ly encountered and are brought
about by lack of a sufficient
blood supply for the brain. When
a person begins to feel faint he
should s'.t in a chair and hold
his head by clasping the hands
behind it and forcing it down
ward. If he Is not able to do
this he should be laid flat on his
back with his feet elevated. A
few whiffs of aromatic ammonia
or a half teaspoonful in a wine
glassful of cold water is a good
remedy, but to have the head
low, the feet high, the clothing
loosened and plenty of fresh air
are the most important meas
ures.
Slight cuts may be bathed with
peroxide of hydrogen, but lac
erated wounds, especially If dirt
has got into the wounds, should
be cleansed as soon as possible
with gasoline or turpentine and
then painted with iodine. If
earth has been forced into the
wounds they should be made to
bleed freely and the services of
a physician secured for advice
against tetanus or lockjaw. As
fO burns in a mild degree, a sim
ple dusting powder of borated
talcum or ordinary baking soda
is sufficient Oily or sticky dress
ings should not bo encouraged.
