Miss Ringheim of the domestic sci

the faculty member whose turn it
was to give the students talk We'd
nesday morning. She gave an illus
trated talk on "The Yellowstone
Park" The school stereopticon ma
chine was used to project the hun
dred or more beautiful slides on the
screen. Miss Ringheim made the
trip through the park several years
ago so that she could describe the
views accurately and we'll. Principal
Moore went through the park last
summer. Miss Hortense Winter gave
a well-received piano solo as a pre-
lude to the mornings entertainment.
Freshmen, Notice!

Portland Shrine
Plans Big DOings

Portland, Ore, Dec 13.-"To all
Mobiles of the Temple of AL Kader,
and to all Shriners wherever their
tents are pitched in the Great Desert
of the Northwest, Greetings:
you are commanded, urged and
begged to hasten to the defense of
our temple and to aid in preventing
unbelieving dogs gaining access to
our limited supply of Zem Zem and
other good things that are being as
sembled at the rate of two quarts per.
1T has come to my knowledge that
on January q certain testers from
Nile Temple at Seattle, Fiji Temple
at Tacoma, Hillah Temple at Ashland
and from El Katif Temple at Spokane
plan to assemble in the Oasis of Port
land as guests of AL Kader Mobiles,
and it is not meet that any Noble
who recognizes the prayer book
adopted by Al Kader should be alb
sent.
I'm other words, we want every
Noble in Oregon and Washington to
come here on January q and help
make our northwest ceremonial the
biggest thing that ever happened.
"At sunup on the morning of the
9th of January we will begin the
sweet torture of. a large number OF
novices. To do the job right we must
have the presence of every member
of AL Kader.
Let all the faithful give heed"
Potentate Billy" Grace is sending
out information of the great gather
ing of Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine
which is to come to Portland Janu-
airy q for an all day session, and the
foregoing is one of the samples. Port
land will furnish three meals and a
banquet for each visitor and the
charges will be nothing.
The meeting is called the Annual
Pacific Northwest Ceremonial and Ii
to be held each year in some section
of the two states.
The Shrine temples at Seattle, Ia
coma, Spokane and Ashland will send
their patrols for the ceremonial, and
If the weather is clear the drill teams
will appear on the streets in the af-
ternoon. Should rain prevent a
street appearance the National Guard
Armory will he rented and the drills
will occur at that place. The patrols
always appear in brilliant uniforms
and present brilliant spectacle.
Each of the visiting Shrines will
take part in comforting the degrees
on a large class of candidates. The
work will be done at the Eleventh
street playhouse.
Each Shrine will be accompanied
by band.
Charles Goodwin of Seattle, the Of
ficial decorator for all national meet
ings of the Shrine, will send a car
load of decorations for use on the
streets and a large quantity of special
scenery for the stage at the Eleventh
street playhouse.
The banquet is to be served at
Hotel Multnomah and arrangements
will be made to seat 1000 guests.
Special rates will be issued by all
railroads, so that the entire expense
of any noble who attends the cere'
monial will be the cost Of railroad
ticket at reduced rates.
The ceremonial will last all day
and probably continue through most
of the night.
Shrine hospitality in Portland is oi
the kind that makes foreign money
useless" The invitation is hereby
given broadcast to come and make
use of it.

A scrutiny Of records shows that
the average cost per car for re-

good roads know that they are essen

schools, and to the development of a
