"SAFETY FIRST" IS E LOCAL TALENT GIVES THREE ACT COMEDY VALE HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR CLASS TO PRESENT COMEDY OF A THOUS AND LAUGHS "Safety First," a sprightly farce t'ull of action and with a unique coming next?" will be presented by and turns that will make the .audi ence wonder "What on earth is coming net?" will be presented by th Junior class of the Vale High school, April 21st and 22nd. This new and sparkling farce has a story of sustained interest, abound ing in mirth-provoking situations. The leading role is that of an innocent and inoffensive husband, Jark Mont gomery, who is plunged into the abyss of the law after trying to rescue a Turkish maiden from the gomery, who s plunged m y w f c hands of the police. Jack anh his ihum Jerry visit Zulieka to aid the interests of Jack's . cousin, Elmer Flannel, a shrinking young man. lack, Jerry and Zulieka are arrested ;ind sentenced to th rty days in jail. In order to keen the disgrace from Jack's wife, Mabel, nnd Jerry's fi- ince, Virginia, they tell them that ihey are going to a convention of Shriners by boat. The scheme works ind Mabel and Virginia bid them a tearful farewell. In the second ict the ladies have received word rrom the steamboat company that Jack and Jerry are not to be found m board and have probably been tvashed overboard and drowned. They re heart broken and don deep mourn ing for the loved ones they never jxpect to see again. Jack and Jerry, in jail know noth ing of this, and when their thirty lays erpire they return to the la dies full of joy and explanations ol iheir wonderful trip to Florida. It takes some tall explaining to show why they were not drowned, and when Mrs. Bridger, the mother ot the girls, learns that Zuleika has been missing for thirty days, she naturally thinks that she accompan ied the boys to Florida. Mabel de cides to return to her mother's1 roof an never see Jack again. The third act straightens out the tangle after a series of laughible events. The play moves briskly a long with culminating effect, inci dent succeeds incident, and the act endinks are quick and snappy with plenty of movement for everybody. Behind the fun and movement links a great moral; Always tell the truth to your wife. Cast Jack Montgomery, a young hus band Thos. McElroy. Mabel Mont gomery, Jack's wife Irene Chester.

ONE HUNDRED DAYS The contractors began pouring concrete on the well being dug for the new municipal water system at Vale, this week. The well has al ready been sunk to a depth of about eight or nine feet and concrete cas ing will be laid as it goes down. The contract for the water sys tem was let to Hartenbowcr Broth ers, of Caldwell, Idaho, who are do ing the work for the city. Their bid for the entire plant ready to de liver water was about $18,1300, and must be completed before one hun dred days from the commencing of the work, or they must pay a pen alty. A new six-inch cast iron main will be connected with the present main at Main and C streets, and will run diagonally through the autq park and cross underneath the river. The main will be three feet below the bed of the river and will be protect ed by being rip-rapped in with rocks along both banks and across the river. This main will be con nected with an eight-inch electric welded main following the line of the old pipe right up to the reser voir. The reservoir will be completely relined and reinforced throughout and will have a new concrete roof with a steel door. There will be a steel ladder inside the reservoir itself and no wood will be used in any of the construction so that it can decay in the water. An auto matic valve on the overflow pipe will prevent any dirt or small insects from climbing or falling into the tank.

REPORT OF COUNTY CLUB AGENT FOR MARCH 1922 By H. R. Wellman. Introduction. This report covers a period of 81 days from March 1st to March 81st inclusive. The time of the club agent was about equally divided be tween organization and follow-up work. ' Oganization. , . Three enrollment blanks were re ceived in this office this month; Dorcas Sewing Club of Ontario with 11 members, Malheur Pig Club with 6 members and the Vale Poultry Club with 12 members. Ontario has or ganized a poultry club with 10 mem bers, 11 boys at Annex and 14 boys at Brogan have organized pig clubs. Pig Clubs. The aim of every pig club mem ber in Malheur County this year is to own one or more pure bred pigs, liven in the market division pure bred s are generally recommended, ty and quality cannot be fed into because the packers demand quali- scrubs. O. E. Green is the local leader of the Riverdale Pig Club. Every one of the 12 members in this club is planning on securing one or pure-bred pigs, and most of the members will get a registered gilt... W. N. Worsham will supervise the work if the Malheur Pig Club It is quite difficult for these mem bers to successfully carry on the work because they live from 4 to 16 miles apart. However, a club of three members completed the work 100 per cent last year and one mem ber exhibited at the county fair, so we are confident that they will come through in fine shape. Brogan is coming back in the pig club work stronger than ever. Every boy who was in the work last year has asked to join again and six ad ditional boys want to get into, the game. Poultry Clubs. There will very probably be four poultry clubs in the county this vear. Ontario and Vale have or ganized clubs and Valley View. and District 68 will complete their or ganization within the next week In the dou trv club work emphasis is being placed on early hatching and pure bred chicks. Home-making Clubs. There at present two home-making clubs in the county, one at River- dale and one at Vale. The club at Riverdale has been organized for threa months and is doing some very good work. Mrs. Wilbur Patch li the local leader.

STANFIELD IN VALE WARMSPRINGS PROJECT HELD SUCCESSFUL SSSStSSr PREDICTS PROSPERITY WILL RETURN TO WASHINGTON IN TIME FOR TARIFF FIGHT Senator R. N. Stanfield arrived in Vale Wednesday afternoon, hav ing left Washington a week ago Wednesday, and was about attend ing to the business of the R. N. Stanfield Company, and the Malheur Livestock Company for several hours before returning to Ontario. lhe Warmspnngsw Project is in a better position than most any ot the irrigation projects in the western country, according to Senator Stan field, as there is an over abundance ot water, so that a part of it may be sold, thereby reducing the cost .0' the District users to some ex ent. "There is little doubt in my mind that the livestock market will pick up in the future and should hold steady for four or five years. this will mean the making of this section for the hay ' grower is de pendant almost entirely upon the stock market for the price of his product, and thus far it appears that hay has been the best crop for the ma jority of the farmers," the Senator is reported to have said. Senator Stanfield will be In this icction for a few days and then er pects to go to Pendleton and : look after his interests in Umatilla County, and immediately return to Washington in order to be there in time to join in the fray that will surround the tariff question when it comes up for settlement in the next two weeks. DraTlpTBOHDS THIRTY VOTES CAST AGAINST ISSUE AND TWENTY SIX IN FAVOR The voters of the Vale School District, No. 15, voted down the proposed bond issue of $6,500.00 to retire outstanding warrants in this district of that amount by SO against to 26 in favor, at the election sTeld in the Chamber of Commerce rooms from 2 to 7 P. M., on Monday. April 10th. "This means," according to M. H. Doolittle, Chair man of the Board of Directors of this district, "that outstanding warrants will more than oat up the school money received trom taxes this month, and we will have to commence the next school year without any funds, and can only give the teachers warrants until the tax money is received from the October tax receipts. "We will probably have to pay more to the teachers due to our in ability to pay cash, and the entire will have to come from the coming budget instead of being spread over a number of years, which will mean that there will be a levy ot about seven mills instead of about one half of one mill for the salaries earned during the just past school year, as we will have to start tne . coming year with several thousands indebtedness." Over Sunday- Mr. and Mrs. ii. A. Hill and daughter Miss Hattie. and son. Jay. motored from their country home near. Nys sa to the city Sunday and spent the day with Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Cleveland, returning home that even ing. Mrs. Cleveland is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hill. Easter Program- There will be an Easter program presented bv the children of the church on Sunday which promises to be entertaining. Following the nrocram is an Easter service eon- ducted by Rev. Young, district superintendent. The sermons de livered by Rev. Ewing in this city before have always been well at tended., and very fine and this one will b no exception. Everyone is invited to the Easter service which begins promptly at 10 o clock. E WATER TO When the water ran over the reservoir of the Warmsprings Ir rigation District Friday, it beat the last year's performance four days. This means that there is about 170,000 acre feet of water stored for use on the 81,000 irrigable acres of the district, but as there were only about 14,000 acres served last year, this amount of water is more than sufficient to supply the entire district for two full years even though no more water should run into the reservoir during that time.
