SPANISH PLAYS
WELLPRESENTED

The Spanish plays presented at the
auditorium last Friday night by the
students of the Spanish classes of the
Douglas county high school, were
largely attended by people of this
community. Intermingled throughout
the audience was a large number of
Spanish-Basque people of this section
and judging from the laughter Of those
who understood what was being said,
it is firmly believed that pupils taking
part in the comedy plays, put their
lines over in good shape. From the
standpoint of acting. the students
maintained the high standard set by
the high school, rejecting not only tc
the pupils, but also upon the corps OF
teachers.
Following the Spanish plays social
dance was given. many remaining for
this part of the evenings program
music for the occasion was furnished
by the Everett orchestra.

Mrs. Harding's Courage Moruel
As Sad Ordeal 4 pproactes End

The fortitude displayed by Mrs
Harding in her present ordeal has
touched deeply the hearts of the peo-
pie of America. Those who have been
with her since her distinguished hus-
band was stricken, in San Francisco.
have marveled at her courage.
Throughout the long. sad journey
across the continent and the arrival
at the White House, which only a
few short weeks before she and her
husband had left, and throughout the
long, solemn ceremonials yesterday
incident to the state funeral she dis
played will power that has been de-
scribed by those who have been close
to her as remarkable.
Mrs. Harding said she would not
break down. At the time the terrible
blow struck the nation, week ago,
she told those who were solicitous
about her not to worry. Many times
during the journey of the death train
she repeated that brave assurance.
Others Gained BY Her.
Il will not break down" was her
frequent reply. And she did not.
On the other hand, it was she who
kept up the spirits and Gained the
shattered nerves of the others in the
presidential party. More than one
of these latter have since said that
they do not know now what they
would .havs-dons without her COM
