THE LOCAL NEWS f
Superintendents' Meeting
Daisy L. Hard, county super
intendent of schools, returned
from the state convention of
school superintendents at Lake
side, Chelan county, much pleased
with the work of the convention.
She has always taken great in
terest in school law, and is un
doubtedly one of the best posted
county superintendents in the
state. She is one of the few per
sons in Stevens county who holds
a state certificate, being the only
one of the candidates at the
recent primary election who holds
a Washington state certificate.
The chief work of the conven
tion was a discussion of the re
vised school code. The superin
tendents were so determined to
give the proposed laws all the
time possible, that evening as
well as day sessions were held.
Almost the entire code, as pre
pared by the commission and
printed in the Examiner, Sept. 5,
was approved. Certification of
high school graduates was dis
approved, and while several other
sections of the law were recom
mended to be revised, this was
the only one completely stricken
from the code.
Under the present law union
high schools are given $100 bonus
for each grade maintained. The
county superintendents recom
mended that the law be so
changed as to give every ac
credited high school $100 per
grade in addition to their appor
tionment upon actual attendance.
Under the present law every
county having 25 or more school
districts must hold a teachers'
institute of at least five days. It
was recommended by the super
intendents that the law be
changed so that a county super
intendent may usetwoof the five

days in district meetings,visiting
schools or in any other manner
which he believes to be of great
est benefit to his teachers.
The code commission has ar
ranged the law so that all school
warrants for districts of the
third class must be drawn by the
county auditor upon the order of
the board of school directors.
The county superintendents were
much pleased with this provision
of the law and recommended
further that the county auditor
be required to draw the school
warrants of districts of the sec
ond class as well as those for the
third class.
The county superintendents
recommended that after January
10, 1910, no person without ex
perience be granted a certificate
who has not completed the first
two years' work of a high school,
and that no person be granted a
three years' certificate without
experience who has not completed
the work of an accredited four
year high school or its equivalent.
Simon McTigue, one of the
first settlers on Deep creek, who
has made his residence on his
homestead at Cronin, was a
visitor at the county fair this
week. Mr. McTigue takes a
deep interest in the development
of Stevens county, and it has
been his delight to review each
day the great exhibit in the
agricultural building, and to re
mark to visitors the changes for
the better that are taking place
in the interior districts in the
way of making better homes and
providing them with the modern
conveniences of life.
Colville is a city of the third
class, with a population of 1800
people. The municipality has
been divided into three wards as
follows: All that portion of the
city west of Main street is the
first ward; all east of Main and
north of Sophia streets is the
second ward; all east of Main
and south of Sophia is the third
ward. Two councilmen from
each ward and one at large will
take care of the city government
with the assistance of a mayor,
treasurer, clerk and attorney, to
be elected by the people in De
cember. The direct primary will
prevail, and declarations of can
didacy are now in order.

Would Mortgage the Farm
A farmer on Rural Route 2,
Empire, Ga., W. A. Floyd by
name, says: "Bucklen's Arnica
Salve cured the two worst sores
I ever saw, one on my hand and
the other on my leg. It is worth
more than its weight in gold. I
would not be without it if I had
to mortgage the farm to get it."

Oliver Wood suffered a misfor
tune while coming down the big
grade north of town with a load
of wood one day last week. The
brake rope broke and the wagon,
load and horses went over the
grade and through a barbed wire
fence, demolishing the wagon
and scattering the wood for some
distance down the gulch. When
Mr. Wood had picked himself
from the wire fence he found
that the fall, with its accompany
ing bruises and scratches, had
not helped him any. The horses
were scratched but little.
Tuesday morning at 10:30 oc
curred the marriage of Jennie
May Wright to F. King Chap
man. The ceremony was per
formed at the home of the bride's
mother Mrs. J. S. Wright by the
Rev. W. H. Boddy of Spokane,
formerly the pastor of the Free
Methodist church in Colville. The
bride wore a dress of white ba
tiste trimmed with Val. lace and
embroidery. The groom's bro
ther Ray Chapman of Spokane
was the only out-of-town guest
and those present from Colville
and vicinity were the immediate
members of the family. After a
wedding dinner Mr. and Mrs.
Chapman left for their home in
Spokane, where he is one of the
proprietors of the Baltimore
lunch room. Both of these young
people carry with them the best
wishes of all Colville.
Football
(An essay written by a member of
the Colville high school.)
Football is a game for boys, not for
girls. The girls are afraid of getting
hurt, so we leave them out of the game.
Football is not the brutal game which
most .people claim it to be, but is a
game which gives the most and best
exercise of any of the other games for
boys. One has to use his head as well
as his body and it also gets his mind off
his studies a few hours of the day. "All
work and no play makes Jack a dull
boy."
It is admitted, however, one does get
a few hard knocks while trying to get
a place on the team, but he soon gets
so toughened that two football teams
could not hurt him. It is great fun if
one gets interested.
Some boys play for the exercise, while
some play to get a place on the first
team, and some do not play at all De
cause they think they can't make the
first team and feel disgraced to play
with the second team. Don't think
this, boys, because if you don't make
the first and do make the second, no
body knows but what you may at any
time be called to play with the first
team. And besides it is not a disgrace
to play with the second team, because
some towns have not a strong enough
team to play the first team and so have
to play the second. And then you will
be ready for the first team next year if
you come to school.
You will have to practice however to
make even the second team. Don't
come down to the grounds once or twice
a week and expect to make the team
that way, because you can't do it. It
is not fair either to yourself or to the
team. Come down every night and do
your best. Do as the coach tells you,
and if you do not make the first team,
it will be because you are not good
enough. Remember, back of you stands
your whole high school.
Some people think it is a rough game
because the boys pile up sometimes, but
that doesn't hurt you when you are
used to it. And you will be used to it
long before you play with the great
teams.
It looks foolish to some people to see
two sides line up and go charging into
each other as if they meant to kill one
another. But that is only in the game,
and it is fun, as you will And if you
once try it. In years gone by they
played football in a different way. They
then just kicked the ball over the goal.
Football is a glorious game; In play
ing the game the weak children will be
come strong and the strong ones be
come stronger. So try it, boys,and you
will see what I say is true. ■ Though
some boys will say it is too rough if
they get hurt a little.
