Society gave reception to Mrs. Joe
Casen at the government school house.
This honor was accorded Mrs. Cason
just before she and her husband left
to spend the summer on the Yaquina

where the men folks will engage in
getting out logs for the mills. A nice
luncheon was served and q general
good time was had by all present.
This reception came as great sur

It was greatly enjoyed. By request
Supt. e. L. Chalcraft made a few
felicatious remarks in behalf Of Mrs.
Cason, thanking the neighbors and
friends for the nice reception, good
eats and the pleasant evening they
had spent together and after wishing
Mrs. Casen many more such happy oc-
casions and after gathering around
the piano and singing AUD Lang

several homes. This world is not so

make it, but whether good or bad
depends on how we take it.
