Franklin and tils Virtues.
Benjamin Franklin's famous ta
ble for the practice of the social
virtues— meaning by this not the
mere amenities of life as expressed
by a magazine lately quoted here,
but those which make harmony in
the body politic, social and econo
mic of all the people has been
transcribed.
Some of these virtues, it will be
seen, were those best calculated to
make him a power among men.
especially that of silence, the habit
of speaking only when he had
something worth while to say.
They are as follows:
1. Temperance Eat not to
dullness: be temperate in all things.
2. Silence Speak nothing but
what may benefit others or your
self. It is better to talk of things
than of persons. Avoid trifling
conversation.
5. Order Let all your things
have thpir places. Let each part
of your business have its time, j
Rise early: retire early.
4. Resolution—Resolve to per
form what you ought. Perform
without fail what you resolve.
5. Frugality Make no expense
but to do good to others, i. e.,
waste nothing. Be economical so
that you may be charitable.
6. Industry Lose no time: be
always employed in something use
ful. Put off all unnecessary act
ions. Use up the bits and ends of
time.
7. Sincerity Practice no de
ceit. think innocently and justly,
and if you Speak, speak accordingly.
8. Justice Wrong none by do
ing injuries or omitting the benefits
that are your duty. It is just to be
charitable and it is charitable to be
just.
9. Moderation Avoidextremes
Forbear resenting injuries so much
as you think they deserve. Cher
ish a steady zeal, a dignified self
respect.
10. Cleanliness Tolerate no
uncleanliness in body, clothing or
habitation.
I 1. Tranquility Be not dis
turbed at trifles or at accidents,
common or unavoidable.
12. Chastity Carefully shun
the company of such as are son
ual .... and let every
thought, word and action be regu
latoa by a proper regard for mod
esty.
13. Humility Imitate Jesus.
Great and good men aie humble.
14. Benevolence Prove your
lov" to God by your benevolence
and usefulness to mankind.
15. Piety- Trust, revere and
love your heavenly Futh r. Let
your prayers be frequent and shoit.
Far from scorning penniless im
migrants, the Chilean government,
has renewed its offer to pay a sum
equivalent to $15.44 in gold for

Contests Will Brmfll Rural Schools.
Arrangements have been com
pleted in a large number of coun
ties for holding school ani athletic
contests of variojs finis in con
nection with the coun ,y fairs tl is
fall.
In speaking of the importance of
these contests to the rural school;
and to the individu il pupil-; in these
schools and the speck 1 benefits
that should result from holding
these contests or school fairs,
Prof. J. L. Bond, supervisor of
rural schooh, said: "Large num
bers of children from the schools of
the country are brought together
on occasions of this kind and there
results a large outlook for the
school and community. A day has
been set apart and will be known
as "School Day" at a number of
the county fairs this year. The
plan is to have all school children i
admitted fit e'on th s special day.
and all schools will be urged to
come in a body. This will stimu
late school ii,tort st and school
pride.
"School contests,including spell
ing, declaration, map drawing, etc..'
have been arranged and there will
also be held athletic contests of
various kinds for both brys and
girls. These are contests that re
quire little or no time for prepara- j
tion.
"In many instances special con
tests will be held and teachers and
pupils are very enthusiast! ’ in this ;
work. The friendly rivalry en-1
gendered by these contests will be
of real value in an educational and :
social way. 1 feel that our rural
schools will be greatly benefited j
It is to be hoped that every county ;
that has not organized for this'
work will do so at once and b°gin
active work along this line. The!
results to the schools should be |
far-reaching."

Double Marriage.
Last S tturday afternoon at 4:50
o'clock at the Methodist parsonage
Rev. J. R. Rushing said the words j
which united in marriage Miss
Daisy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs
F K Wilson of Junction City, to:
Mr. Leslie Burk, and Miss Caroline,
daughter of Mr. W. R. Dickerson,
to Mr. Arthur Townsend. These
are four of Huttig's most popular
younger set. The marriage of
these couples was intended as a
surprise, but a large number of
their friends got wise and witnessed
the hippy event. We wish that
they may reap the richest blessings
through life's journey.
