upon, but a contract will be presented

what is more na'.ural than that they

WORK ON SHIP
BEGINS MONDAY
A. Frlesendahl of tha Soramar-
Examinatlons were held : In the
high school on Thursday and Friday
of last week. Very few failures have
been reported.
There will ba about ten pupils In
the new freshmen class Just enter
ing the high school from the eighth
grade.
A debato is scheduled between
the St. Helens high school team and
the Greshara high for Feb. 20th, at
St. Helens. Mux Wilson and Miss
Florence Van Gilden will represent
our school.
The upper classes will present the
play, "At the End of the Rainbow,"
about the last of February. The
pluy is a college comedy in three
acts and furnishes opportunity tor
some real dramatic touches.
The senior class has ordered some
beautiful class pins which should
add some distinctions to its members.
The design ot the pins Is similar to
that ot last year's class.
Our student body and teachers'
are anticipating a pleasant visit
from the pupils and teachers of the
Rainier high school, just as -soon
as the health of our town will make
such a visit safe. We are golug to
unite to make this a memorable
event.
The teachers are making plans
for a big "community party" to be
given at the school building, rb.
12th. An effort will be made,
through the school children, to have
this a record breaker so far as at
tendance is concerned. All of the
best music talent in 8t. Helens will
be asked to take part In tho program.
Tha death of Martin llrlggs, a
member of the senior class, cast a
gloom over tha entire high school.
He left school on Tuesday afternoon,
saying that ho did not feel like
studying, and died Sunday afternoon
The honest motives that guided his
dally Ufa made an impression upon
his teachers and classmates that can
not ba forgotten.

.George Gore waa a business vis
itor in Ralnter Monday,
county budget for the yt.xr ly?u con
tains an item of Jit.oO-l for the rare
of the poor, and this item, from year
to year, is bouhd to Increase. It is
my fit m. belief that in th near future
we will be able to keep our poor
better and cheaper on our poor farm,
and while the price of land is steadily
going up, it would be a very bad
mistake to sell what wa have only to
rebuy later at an enhanced prie.
tt. seems to me It would ba a "Qi)
Back" instead of "Go Ahead.',
