SHRINERS FIND BROTHER AND FAIR DAMSELS IN MUD AND DISTRESS A bunch of Masons from here who took the shrine at Eugene Saturday think they huve what is a good joke on one of their members. On tbeir way home they found what appeared to be a car very mueh in distress. It was o ff 'he road apparently pretty well mired in the mud. Having been admonished to relief distress wherever found, they stopped to give assistance and lifted the ear back onto the road, when it wus discovered that one of the mem bers of the distressed purty was Her- • iihu Edwards, a member of this lodge. The otl-cr members o f the party were another young man and two young women. They hud been there several hours and u team of buries had been unable to do what the bunch of men ■lid in leas than a minute. Herman wasn’t expecting a reporter on the job or he might hnve kept out of sight. Martin Anderson, a member of the party, haa not yet recovered from the slight given him when Herman didn’t introduce him to the women. BOARD WOULD KNOW WHAT PEOPLE WANT Attempt W1U Be Made to Get by the Letter and Intricacies of the Law. The school hoard will attempt this year to get the expressed opinion of the taxpayers and patrons of the school district before incurring finan cial obligations for the next term of school. Heretofore teachers have been hired and all arrangements for the next term of sehool made before the unnual taxpayers' meeting, which left the taxpayers little to do except to ratify the acts of the school board. This year the board wishes to know in advance what the taxpayers wish to do and in this it is meeting with aome difficulty. The taxpayers cun not levy a tax previous to the opening o f the new school year in June and yet nearly all the financial obligations for the school year, such as the hiring of teacher* and fixing of salaries, must be arranged before that time. To get around the letter of the law. the school board propo.»«% to cull a public meet ing, at which sentiment can be ex pressed. even if the meeting would be unable to levy the tax at that time.

Roseburg, Ore., March 3.— Uniform dress will be adopted by the girls of the Roseburg high school if a move ment inaugurated by tlA- girls them selves is carried through. Meetings have beeu held with the teachers, not all of whom are enthusiastic over the plan, and the young women have been informed by Superintendent Hmith that, if they really desire the change and will agree unanimously to carry it into effect it will be adopted. No set fashion has been agreed upon, but middies und skirts, the middy to bu white nnd the skirt blue, have found a good deal of favor. A girls ’ club to carry the plan into effect is proposed.

REFINEMENT AND MANNERS ARE PART OF EDUCATION Mrs. Mary Fawcett, dean o f women of O. A. C. gave a splendid address before the high school assembly last Friday afternoon on the subject, "Leaders in the Making.’ ’ She cm phasized the fact that the high school is developing young men and women into the full responsibilities of citi zenship. "E ducation ,” she said, “ is necessary to leadership.” Mrs. Faw cett stated that some of the evidences of education were a correct use of English, refined and gentle manners, power to think, power to grow, and efficiency in service or power to do.
