TOLEDO HIGH SCHOOL

A 1920 High School romance ended
Tuesday when Thomas Harding and
Jessie Taylor were united in marriage
The bride, Freshman Of T. H. s., Ii
charming and accomplished young
lady who resided at the Horning res
idence while she attended school
TOM" the bridegroom, was Soph.
more and also held the position of
manager OF T. H. S. athletics. An ex.
cited group of students riced the happy
couple at the depot, Tuesday noon be-
fore they left for their future home in
Elk City.
Among the many New Years reso'
lutions that were made in r. H. S., the
one concerning punctuality to classes
seems the hardest to observe. Two
bells are sounded at the beginning
and ending of each class. This plan
will save much time.
Santa Claus was very kind to the
H. S. pupils, Xmas, sensing our needs
he presented us with a pretty framed
mirror that now hangs In the main hall
to advantage of those who wish to ad-
just pompadours, fix stray locks and
powder noses.

WALDPORT

The ringing Of bells and usual cere.
monies announced the arrival of the
newly born 1921 but it does not ap
pear to be any weak infant, but more
boisterous than the old 20, as 1t has
stormed all the time since the first
hour.
On the night of the 31st the local
basket ball team met the Albany high

which resulted in a score of thirty

January third was one of the worst
days ever seen here. There was a
high wind all day blowing down many
trees. There was but little damage
done outside of blowing down a few
fences and had it blown down some
more old ones it might have benefited

cations spent in the Willamette Val
ley. Two Of them, at least, were as
far as Portland where they attended

again but with somewhat less than
average attendance owing to the very
severe rain and wind storm. Thru
the day the buildings were rocked
and the south end OF the gymnasium
nearly became a victim Of the high
wind velocity. In the evening the
truck taking pupils to the Lower
Farm was unable to make the trip
owing to fallen trees in the road. The
school at Lower Farm, having one
pupil present had been dismissed for
the day.

WIND AND RAIN STORMS
BREAK ALL RECORDS

The wind and rain storms of the
past few months have broken all re.
cords according to old residents of
this section. They say that they have
seen just as hard storms but for dura-
tion of time, the present spell of
weather takes the prize and even the
old Webfooters are praying that 1t
Will cease. More water fell on New
Years day this year than fell during
the entire months Of January and Feb
ruary last year. According to the old
saying, "One exception follows anoth-
er, and it seems to be proving true
as last winter was exceptionally dry
and this is one of the wettest ever
known.
Many predict an early spring and
we certainly hope that they know
what they are talking about, as enough
is enough.

In front Of 1t to keep the baby from
settins a. 1t and went across the porch
to faucet for some cold water. The

over upon itself. The little one, lived

burned. Funeral services will be held

HIGH WATER IN RIVER
CAUSES BIG LOG JAM

The Yaquina River was out Of its
banks at Elk City Wednesday and the
sawogs and drift coming down the
Yaquina and Big Elk rivers formed a
big jam just above the wagon bridge
at that place and it looked for time
as though the bridge would be washed
out. 1t is estimated that there are
two thousand sawlogs in the jam. The
river is falling rapidly at present and
1t is thought all danger is past. 1t
will require the assistance Of donkey
engine to pull out the logs and un-
tangle the Jam.

ducing the college to 500 of its own

French action has been vigorous and
II is apparent that during recent
months the hatred which attached
particularly to the French army has
not diminished. If the American
forces on the Rhine are now taken
away, and the French administration
necessarily extended, great modify
ing influence will be removed and the
possibilities of further trouble in
creased"
The committee goes into the subject
of security for the countries border
ing on Germany, concluding that
guarantees must be given. There is
no dissent in Europe, says the com
mlttee, that if Germany pays the in
demnity she must again show great
industrial strength. Such a Germany
would be great potential military
power. France does not propose to
AXE any chances in the future. She
insists on payment for damage done
to French territory At the same time
she docs not consider that there is
sound reason why the present Ger
man republic should continue. Other
countries bordering on Germany be-
'ieve it would make for continuous
peace If Germany were broken up and
rendered impotent for military action
in the future.
The committee in its report appears
to question the wisdom of this view
and says: Germany cannot pay I'M
less she produces at her full capacity |
ana has opportunity to sell. She can
not produce without raw materials
greatly in excess of the quantity she
now obtains. 1t is practically impos-
slble for her to produce the requisite
raw materials, large portion of
which she must import from other
countries where the exchange is
against her by wide margin, unless
she can obtain credit and her govern
ment fiscal system is placed on a very
much better basis than at present.
Greater financial aid will not be
extended to Germany by other coun-
tries in the measure necessary unless
she can pursue her rehabilitation in
peace and there is confidence that a
secure central government will be
within the German repub-
lie. If there is the constant POSSIBLE
ity OF breakdown and dismemberment
Of that state, it is next to impossible
for Germany to adequately to be
financed
