the best exhibits made by school chill
dren. To compete, however, II Is
necessary for the student to produce
themselves, all that they display, and
Mr.. Maris Is now aiding the students
over the state 20 take up some line Of
work for the summer, that they may
have something this fall to display
at the state fair.
Twelve different projects are of
fered to the students, II being optional
with the student himself. which one
he takes up. The projects are as
follows: Corn growing, potato grow
ing, gardening, poultry raising, pig
raising, dairy record keeping, orchard
care. field pea growing and seed grain
selection, all for boys. For girls Is Of
fered baking, canning and sewing. In
addition there Is Foreign Home Arts
and Crafts Club under which come
special projects, numbering about sew
enty, and which cover practically
every other line Of endeavor student
might care TO take up.
The work Is done under the sup
ervision Of parent-teacher's associa-
tions, and the students are encour-
aged and helped in every possible
manner.
A large number of slides were
shown by Mr.. Maris at the different
meetings, the slides for the most part
showing what was accomplished last
year along this line. Pictures of boys
and girls who last year won prizes at
the state fair. were thrown on the
screen, together with their exhibits
and formed very pleasant two-hour
entertainment.
Mr.. Maris stated that the whole
state was looking forward to some
first prize corn from Malheur county
this fall. "The whole state comedies
first place to Malheur county, when 1t
comes TO growing eorn," he stated,
"and this section should carry off the
first prize at the fair without much
trouble. And the students OF this
county have an equal chance with the
students of any other county, to carry |
off many of the other class prizes"
$50 for as l know" he continued,
'there is not section of the whole
United States that can beat Malheur
county in corn growing. Even in the
corn belt Of the middle west, there
have been no such records made as
were shown here this last fall. You
are very modest, indeed, when you
only claim the champion corn growing
section west Of the Rocky Mountains,
and can see no reason why you can
not make your assertion broader"
The meeting at the Boulevard
Grange Saturday night was well at
tended, as were all the meetings in
Melheur county. Mr.. Maris says
there is no section Of the state that
has shown more interest in the work,
than has Malheur county, and he is
we'll pleased with the prospects for a
summers work here.

KINGMAN NOTES.

Mr.. J. S. Pinkston, who is an old
soldier Of the Civil war, spoke TO the
children Of the Kolony School last
Friday afternoon. He told in a very
interesting way why the war was
brought on and related several Of his
own experiences in the war. He also
played several selections on his
graphanola which he brought with
him. Several Of the pieces brought
out the spirit Of the war. All who
heard him considered his talk a rare
treat and hope that he may favor the
school again.
Those on the Kingman Roll Of
Honor are: Lawrence and Warren
Blodgett, Thelma McCreary, Charles
and Bob Peck, Elizabeth and Mary
Wade and Irma and Josephine Wilson.

o. H. S. NOTES.


Last Thursday afternoon the first
and third period commercial spelling
classes had spelling match. There
was quite a little enthusiasm dis
played on both sides. The first period
class was quite confident, however
they were defeated, the third period
class carrying off the honors. But
they bcstow all the credit upon Mary
Atherton who really is "shark" and
deserves praise as she really won the
contest. II was agreed before the con-
test that the losing side should give
the other a feed" The first period
class "got busy" accordingly and FRI
day evening found both classes as
sembled at the high school. Games
were played and refreshments served
in the domestic science room about
II o'clock. There Is no doubt but that
all those present enjoyed themselves,
and the defeated class showed their
ability as hosts and hostesses.
The carnival committee" for the
coming high school carnival has set
the date for April 20. We hope every
one will make their plans accordingly.
We should dislike to have anything
conflict with our carnival, and we feel
confident that those who miss II will
regret the fact.
The H. 8. students are mourning the
fact that Evelyn Brown II going to
leave US, and we have good cause to
grieve for her place will be hard to fill.-
Besides being the treasurer Of the
Student Body association and secre-
tary and treasurer Of the MASK and
Dagger" club, Evelyn was always
ready TO help out on any occasion with
either music or a reading. Ncverthe-
less at least few Of the girls hope to
express some Of their sorrow at the
travelling shower" given in her honor
at the home Of Rena Adam.
Miss Ruby Waldron is confined ut
her home with the measles.
Robert Bender has left school for
the rest Of the year.
Leslie Scvey has returned to school
after prolonged absence.
Had you passed the high school
Wednesday evening you would prob
ably have been startled out Of
nights sleep by the sight Of several
grotesque black robed figures hover
ing through the different rooms of the
dimly lighted II. s. building. But you
would have readily understood the
meaning Of the strange procedure had
you seen the announcement on the
bulletin board Wednesday of the
"Mask and Dagger" meeting schedul.
ed for 8 o'clock. At this meeting four
new members were initiated. there
fore the black robes. Perhaps the
most enjoyable part Of the evening
was spent In the Domestic Science
room, where the hostess of the even
ing. Alva Arnold. served the delicious
refreshments. Ask the "door keeper"
II he can articulate the pass word.

The plans of the French and British
troops in the Balkans are still mys-
terry. The continued landing of rein
forcements lends color to the theory
that an aggressive campaign is con-
templated At the same time the
steady withdrawal of the troops from
their advanced positions leads to the
belief that for the present the occu-
patton of Saloniki for base of OPP
erations at later time forms the
extent of their determination.

Those accompanying the doctor were
F. F. Titus, Ed Abrahamson and Don

some thirty birds. While on the river
they drove up to Frank Wyatt's ranch
and besides a short visit with the Wy
ats ran across our old friend Romuald
Cote. Cote, who is now typical ranch
er, has permitted the fierce rays OF
the tropical river sun to come in per-
sonal contact with his complexion and
the boys were hardly able to recognize
him. However, Cote has taken up 800
acres of Salmon river land and as the
old adage says, fortune favors the
brave" our former cigar dealer will
soon be able to travel with the best
OF them.

September 20, 30 and October 1 are
the dates that have been selected for
the staging of the fourth annual Bor-
der Days show and the event bids fair
to be the most unique and entertain
ing in the history Of the city.
At the Wednesday noon luncheon of
the Commercial club, in the absence
of some of the members Of the special
committee that had been appointed,
special stress was laid upon the fact
that no time was to be lost and the
remaining members were urged to get
into their harness. and while some did
not need much urging, four Of the com
mittee met Immediately after the close
of the Commercial club session and
settled down to business.
One of the first matters to come be-
fore the gentlemen was the selection o.
a manager who had the time and abil
ity to fin this important berth, ant
after due consideration Doc Denny, th'
we'll known manager of tn 1913 show
was chosen and since that time HI
has hardly been seen for dust.
| The members of the commercial clul
have been encouraged by the stand th'
