9TH GRADES
TIE IN MUSIC
MEMORY CONTEST

The final act in the Music Memory
Contest took place Tuesday night at
the High School Auditorium. The
pupils of the sixth, seventh and eighth
grade in both schools have been pre-
pairing for this all winter. Forty two
pupils sat upon the stage, with paper
and pencil in hand about to write the
names of composition and composer
as soon as each record was played.
Miss Wallace played twenty records,
chosen from the fifty, with which the
contestants were familiar.
The eighth grade in each school
made the highest score and as a re-
suit won the handsome picture given
by the Mexico Music Company and
the Monday Music Club respectively
!, To discover the boy and girl who coulG
make the highest score, five more
records were played. The result
showed four boys and four girls from
Central all with 100 points to theil
credit. Lots were drawn land Harry
! Richardson and Charlie Woods were
awarded fountain pens while pretty
pins were given to Frances Robinson
and Josie Adkins.
The Music Memory Contest is re-
cent development in teaching music
appreciation, and Mexico is in the
front rank in adopting the plan this
year. Great credit is due to Miss
Maude Wallace for her progressive
ness, untiring industry and zeal il
making the contest so attractive anC
educational.

GOOD BEGINNING MADE
FIRST YEAR OF BUREAU
Summary Of Results in Many Ac-
tivities Given for Benefit
of Members.

Community chairmen and members
OF the county executive committee
have been supplied throughout the
year with copies OF the monthly re-
ports on Farm Bureau work in the
County as prepared by the agricul-
tural agent for the supervising Of
fices of the State and Federal de-
partments To reproduce these re-
ports for all members would be far
too costly, hence brief summary
giving account OF portion of the
work done will be given here. Should
anyone desire to read either the
monthly reports or the annual re-
port OF the work, copies OF the first
can be had by seeing your commun-
ity chairman, and OF the latter by
applying to the county agent.
Organization Grows.
During 1920 approximately $50
new members were taken by the
Bureau. The membership grew
from about 17O to 420. Four new
communities we're organized and
the six original communities great
ly strengthened their membership
and placed their organizations on q
permanent basis. A county organ
ization was perfected and made per-
manent with an executive commit
tee which has been in session each
month and accomplished much good
work. The county has taken an ac-

Supported Fairs
The Bureau gave much assistance
to the County Fair Board in putting
on an agricultural exhibit which was
conceded to be far the best yet seen
at the Malheur County Fair. Com
munity Bureaus appointed commit
tees to have charge OF exhibits and
considerable local money was ad-
vanced 10 make these exhibits good.
The Bureau also interested itself in
tie State Corn Show, from which the
county received much prize money
and more honorB. A Farm Bureau
booth was prepared and maintained
at the County Fair.
Marketing and Buying
The Bureau was concerned in wool
pool organized by the Payette Coun-
ty Bureau; II assisted in the cooper
ative shipment OF one carload each
OF lambs and hogs and two OF cattle,
the hogs and cattle being partly
owned by Payette county farmers. A
potato growers association was
formed and much preliminary work
done on the formation OF an alfalfa
growers association. Three car
loads OF seed potatoes we're pur-
chased and distributed. One car
load OF potato sacks was purchased
co operatively Two community
pools for binding twine were
formed.

the following which ought

one which should be given serious
confederation by farmers in your

freight rate which makes the freight
