RESERVES GIVE FINE PLAY

The Girl Reserve play given at the
high school last Friday evening was
received by a small but enthusiasts
audience. All the girls interpreted their
parts well, Elizabeth Angle doing an
especially good piece of acting in the
part Of "Jerryt" The clever costumes
in the court scene, made by the girls
themselves, contributed much in in
terest and humor. Marguerite Jaeger
was especially funny in the part Of
Stomach" Madeline Ferguson re-
spondedl to encore in graceful, in
terpretive dance.
The play was given as part Of the
required training in dramatics and part
of their study of health. The proceeds
amounted to SIG, which will be spent
for material for handwork and other
expenses.
The girls wish to thank all those
who helped make the play a success,
particularly the high school orchestra
and the Boy Scouts and Mrs. Hawley,
who was the piano accompanist for the
songs and dances.

FRIENDS HELP IN SILVER
WEDDING CELEBRATION

An interesting community affair
took place Monday evening at tn,
Presbyterian church when fifty o.
more friends and neighbors. of Mr.
and Mrs. M. E. Houk gathered ther,
to help them celebrate their silver
wedding anniversary.
The arrangements for tie evening
were all planned and carried out by
committee under the direction oi
Mrs. r. H. Myers and Mrs. H. H
Smith.
Mr.. and Mrs. Houk were complete.
ly surprised when in answer to a re-
quest to attend an Important busi-
ness meeting at the church that
evening, they arrived to find the
room filled with their old friends and
a delightful program; of songs and
music just ready to begin. The first
number was a piano duet by the
Misses Ferguson, followed by vocal
duet by Mr.. and Mrs. Myers. A
mixed quartette composed of Mrs.
Wade, Mrs. Myers, O. F. Allen and
Mr.. Myers sang old time songs. Mr..
and Mrs. Allen sang a duet and Mrs.
Wade a solo. All of3ithess numbers
were greatly enjoyed and called for
hearty encores.
The guests of honor were te ken
to one of the ante rooms at this point
and in few moments reappeared the
bride having been arrayed by her
friends in bridal attire, Preceded
by little Miss Elizabeth Keal, as
flower girl, Mrs. Houk, accompanied
by Mrs. McFee as bridesmaid, and
Mr.. Houk, with William Angle as
best man, walked slowly up the aisle
to the platform where Rev. Gray
awaited them. The wedding eere-
mony was- little out of the ordin-
ary but seemed to please the crowd.
To give the bride and groom time to
get over their embarrassment, an
instrumental quartette composed of
Mrs, Ferguson, piano; Mrs. Myers,
mandolin; Miss Erma Ferguson,
guitar; and Miss Madeline Ferguson,
violin, rendered two beautiful sell
ections. w. ]. Kincaid then as spo-
kesman for those present, with neat
little speech presented the young
couple" with beautiful set of sill
yer as token Of the esteem in
WIllCn lHey are liSiu III tHc So'iiiiuhl'N.
After congratulations by the guests,
(some more dernonftrative than
other) the party sat down to a
long table in the center of the room,
loaded with good things to eat, the
most important OF which was a
large and beautifully decorated we'd
ding cake.
During this part Of the evening
Mrs. F. A. English, who was
unable to be present earlier, gave
her part of the program a beautiful
vocal solo, which was encored.
Pleasant conversation then filled
the evening until nearly midnight
wsen4 the s&nestgs 4ftspstted 1dorr their
homes wishing the Houks twenty
five years more of welded happiness.

where he has taken over a prac-

a practise in his three years resi-
dence in White Bluffs and both he
and Mrs Hills have a large circle
of friends who will be sorry to
have them leave. The doctor says
he likes it here and has confidence
in the valleys future but the
opportunities in the larger field
carry too great an appeal. Mrs.

BALL GAME sUNDaYf

Larger and larger crowds have
been turning out at the ball grounds
each succeeding Sunday for the past
few weeks to try out for the team.
A number of good prospects have
been uncovered and it seems quite
likely now that White Bluffs will
have pretty fair club this season.
Harry Foltz, who has been putting
the boys through the training, has
picked out a temporary team and he
will pit these against club made
up of Hanford players and other
local prospects in game on the
local grounds at 2:30 next Sunday
afternoon. Challenges have also been
sent out to Othello and Connell and
it is hoped that game with one OF
these towns can be arranged for the
first Sunday in April.

TRAIN SCHEDULE HERE
TO Be REVERSED

Since the following item was
set in type Mr.. Woods has been
advised that the reverse schedule
will go into effect next Monday.
The reversing of the train schedule
on this branch of the Milwaukee has
been discussed more or less for the
past few years but the agitation
seems to be more general this spring
than ever before. Under the present
schedule fruit, vegetables and cream
shipments leave here in the morning,
sit in the heat for several hours at
Beverly, do not reach Seattle until
that night and do not go on the
market until the following morning.
Under such an arrangement they do
not arrive, of course, in the best
condition aad as consequence the
prices received are not as good as
they might be.
Under the proposed change the
train would leave here in the even
ing around six o'clock and return
probably at about eight or nine
o'clock in the morning. BY this
arrangement express shipments of
fruit, vegetables and cream would
have the benefit of the cooler weather
at night and would go on the market
in Seattle the next morning.
All of the growers with whom the
matter has been discussed are in favor
of the change. Local Agent r. R.
Woods says that the railroad Of
ficials are agreeable to any change
i'll schedule that is satisfactory to
shippers on this branch, that does
not interfere with proper train con-
nection with the main line at Beverly.
With the sentiment for the change
as pronounced as it seems, it is
probable that the change will be
made before the arrival of warm
weather
