day from Missoula, where they
had been attending the Univer-
sity sponsored music camp.
On August 26 Barbara appear
ed in a student recital in the
Music Building playing a piano
solo and on August % both she
and Ruth played the piano in a
demonstration for Bernard Weis-
er, the Master teacher who was
conducting classes for the State
Music Teachers Association.
At the music camp the girls
had a busy schedule of piano,
chorus, music appreciation, prac-
tice and evening concerts. They
lived at the dormatory and learn
ed a little of what college life
will be like. At the end of the
two weeks of intensive work the
girls appeared in the piano en-
semble program given for the
public August 8 and with the
Chorus directed by Lloyd Oak
land on August 9.
This wonderful musical exper-
fence was made possible by the
Sidney Moose and the Women OF
the Moose whose generosity pro-
vided the scholarships for the
girls to attend the music camp.
Mrs. Osborn took the girls to
Missoula and they made the re-
turn trip by train.

Mrs. Lila johnson has retired
from teaching in the Sidney Ele-
mentary school. She has been de-
voted to the teaching profession
in Sidney for 38 years. During
that time, she has been active in
community and school affairs.
The esteem that her pupils had
for her was reflected in their dedi-
cation of the 1858 high school year
book, The Stagecoach, to her. This
in part is what the Senior Glass
had to say: 1--WE the Senior Glass
of 1853 dedicate the "Stagecoach"
to Mrs. Lila Johnson, whose hands
have worked steadily, energetical-
ly, patiently, triumphantly since
1919, with the exception of the
l925-1926 school year, in the Sid
ney Elementary School, teaching
and molding young children into
fine, intelligent and respected
men and women.
Mrs. Johnson personifies the
highest type of individual perse-
verance and determination and is
a living example of what a be
accomplished by letting nothing
side-track one from his fixed goal.
Time will pass, but never will
yesterdays, today's and tomor-
rows Seniors fail to remember
Mrs. Lila Johnson as an out
standing teacher, a true friend,
and an inspiring example,"
Her colleagues in the profession
shall miss her. She was honored
by them at a farewell coffee party
at the grade school last May. She

Farm Extension
Notes

Farmers of Noble cornty
are keeping food production at
high levels on the average. AS
a result, the new year holds
promise of a generous supply
Of good things to eat. Farm out
put in 1856 was at a record level
overall. Production in 1857 may
be slightly lower, but it will be
high enough to provide plenty
for everyone.
Extension specialists in mar
keting information for consum-
ers at the Ohio State University
predict slightly higher retail
prices and increased purchases
of more expensive foods and
services connected with food
merchandising. They say these
may account for some advance
in food costs to consumers, but
expect total food expenditures
to take about 25 percent of the
average family's disposable in
come That's about the same as
usual.
Slightly smaller supplies OF
beef may mean a little higher
prices for meat. Producers are
marketing cattle at somewhat
lighter weights this season. Pork
supplies also are expected to run
| lighter than in 1856, although
higher prices for hogs this win.
| ter may encourage farmers tC
raise more for marketing during
the last half of the coming year
Production of milk and dairy
products seems likely to continue
at plentiful levels. Total produc.
ton may even show some in
crease because of higher produc'
ton per COW. The past year wa!
a record one for poultry and. eg&
output, and prospects indicate
| even larger production in 1857
| Consumers may try to even VI
their food budget by purchasing
more poultry meat, eggs, ant
dairy products and less so-callet
red meat" if the economists
analysis of the situation prove
correct.

| County Agent
