SECRETARY HERE

Phil Swing was introducing this
morning R. w. Madison, secretary to
Governor William D. Stephens, who
comes to the Valley to greet friends
and to tell the people Of the Valley
how we'll they have behaved, eonsid-
ering that we are a border commun-
ity.
Mr.. Madison stated that there is
vastly more apprehension ''up state
over the Mexican situation than there
is right here. They are apprehensive
for our safety away up in Siskiyou.
The governor of California has as
sured the timid onese that there are
soldiers along the border to
take care Of any situation.
Mr.. Madison found that Governor
Stephens has many friends in FL

that his is a strong hand on the whee
of the ship of state.

Large Audience Enjoys Play, "Old
Peabody Pew" the -Spinster LO
bella, as Taken by Miss Evelyn v.
Turner, and Mary Hamilton, Get
ting Their Share of Applause.
w .S.S.-
w SIS

An audience which more than in
sured the financial success of the
presentation of the Washington
schools play filled the auditorium of
the Wilson school Friday evening.
This was really an epoch-making
went for this school, as they had
neyer before attempted anything of
the kind.
The most excellent program was
; egun by Japanese Cherry Blossom
dance, originated and directed by
Mss Leona V. Baber, teacher of sec
Q nd and third grades, in which twelve
title colored and Mexican children,
dressed in native Japanese costumes,
Re boys bearing large eucalyptus
tee branches, seemingly laden
with cherry blossoms, and the girls
daintily carrying fans, joyfully
bowed and skipped their ways through
the intricte measures Of character
istic japanese spring dance. The di-
ninutive size of these little third
!, raiders added to the attractveness
Of this feature.
Miss Evelyn V. Turner's full rich
n, ezzo-soprana voice was at its bast
in vocal selections.
Graceful and petite Geneva Bernice
{ C.ay, of the graduating class, spe-
c al dancing pupil of the athletics
teacher, Miss Turner, in Greeke So
10 dance, was one of the big features
o. the evening.
The baritone solo of wilkins p.
] hnson was we'll received.
Miss Chrisman, the principal Of the
school, welcomed the audience and at
.ributed the great success of the past
two school ears to the sympathetic
cooperation of the parents with the
nochers, and she, with the assistance
o2 little Dubois McGee, aged 6, gave
a practical demonstration Of the re-
ST. Its of this cooperation.
Miss Nellie Montgomery, at the pi-
aro, graciously responded to numer-
Us encorese.
But the play, in which Geneva Ber-
nee was the leading lady, was the
thing. When Mrs. Burbank and Lo-
