A GOOD EXAMPLE
The Fall River High School has added a potato class to its course of study.
The object is to teach the pupils how to grow potatoes and will probably
include instructions in millinery and poultry raising. The millinery part
may be used for learning the art of dressing "chickens." At any rate the
move made by the Fall River School might well be followed with good results
in other places.
Miss Doris Mickle underwent an operation for appendicitis yesterday. Dr.
Kennedy performed the operation and she is doing very well.

BRIEF MENTION
C. O. White, father of Mrs. William Bordwell, arrived here from his home at
Red Bluff last week on a short visit. He informed us that the crops were
looking fine in the Sacramento Valley, some of the grain already being six
or eight inches high.
Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Walts, of this place, left here for Reno this morning to
take the Pasteur treatment, who were bitten several times by their dog,
which seemed to be having fits and otherwise acting very strangely. The dog
will be kept for sometime to determine whether or not it had the rabies,
which it probably has, from the symptoms. Several cases of dogs being
afflicted with the rabies have recently been reported from Nevada and it
would be well for all to be careful around dogs.
Mrs. Leon B. Lewis is reported ill this week.
Mrs. Fannie Bowers returned from Reno some days ago, where she went for
medical examination. She is somewhat improved in health, we are very glad to
state.
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to thank our many friends for the kindness shown our loving mother
and sister, Myrtle Bradshaw.
