UHL â’rntt lirralù LENTS STATION, PORTLAND, OREGON, FRIDAY, Subscription, $1.50 the Year. P.*T. A. HEARS MR. BROCKWAY The regular meeting of the Parent- T each or association held at the Gilbert achooihouse last Friday afternoon drew • gwd attendance. The program wa» exceptional interest. The chief ■peaker was James E. Brockway, Boy Scout aaarutivr of Portland, who spoke o« the work of his organization and gave some pertinent suggestions for the handling of boys at what ho designated the “gang age,’’ 11 to 16. “It is then,” he said, in a manner direct and forceful, “that a boy’s character is formed for good or bad, and the influences that stay with him for life exerted. The gangs that at thia period feature a boy’s life, he ■aid, ere primarily constructive or de •tractive It to up to parents to sec that the gangs with whom their boys are identified are of the right sort. “Here," continued Mr. Brockway, “to where the Boy Scout organisation comm in with instraction along tho lines moot important to the growing youngster and exerts an influence for good in the framing of character that nothing should supplant. In the home," the speaker said, “there must be team work. Father and mother must be of one opinion in dealing with chil dren, and honesty, reverence, sobriety sad loyally at thto time more than al any other must be instilled. Here cleanliness of person and of nund— must be cultivated." Co-operation with tho teacher* at school also was held to be a prime essential in a boy's life at thia time, for it to in school that the boy comes into contact with tho first element of law and order and authority. It to imperative in the formation of a boy’s character that early in life be learn 1 promptness and acquire habits of regularity. He should have a time for getting up, fixed hours formeala, for study and for play, and nothing should be permitted to interfere with this program. What to best for the boy should always be the thought and wish of parents. Another feature of the day's pro gram waa a violin solo by Lueila Strcch The Gilbert school ia planning for a fair and bazaar May 12, which prom- isos to bn an event of interest. A big feature will be an evening chicken dinner It to hoped that there will be a large attendance. The last meet ing of the association for the school year will take place May 12.

The girls’ first indoor ball team has challenged the Woodmere first team t a game on Lenta grounds sometime this week. We have not yet received a definite answer to the challenge. The first edition of the 8B Comet has been completed. Monday the ed itor-in-chief, Lowry McKeown, read it to the class. It contains editorials, ■toriea, jokes, advertisements, news items and cartoons. The class will undertake a second edition soon. Dr. Lundberg, who has charge of the school boxing and wrestling, was too busy to attend last Thursday, but the meet was held as qsual George Selfridge, a wrestler from Franklin High, taught the boys different holds. There were a few new boxers, but one of the wrestlers waa sick and couldn’t come. The boys are working up a very good volley-ball team. They hope soon to be ready to put up a well- organised game. The girls, also, are interested. They have a net and ball of their own which they use a great deal. Several of our boys went to witness the opening baseball game of the sea son Tuesday, Monday the baseball boys were overjoyed on being presented with a new catcher's mit by Mr. Thaxter. At the beginning of the term George Trenary, catcher, used Bud McDay’s mitt, but Bud moved away from Lents. Then George used the old last year’s mitt until someone borrowed it without bis permission. The new mitt ia much appreciated. On account of wet grounds and rain, the ball team did not play the Kellog baseball aggregation Tuesday as they had planned. The l-cntx team played the Wood- stock boys Monday. They went down to defeat, 14 to 4. During the first of the game, I xmls scored two runs while the opposing players got runs rather regularly. In the seventh inning, however, Lents started a rally which netted them two more runs. The rally started when Ixywry Mc Keown got hit with a pitched bail and was advanced to second on a single made by Geoge Trenary Both 110x1 •coral when ’Chuck” Guisne.is cracked out a t wo bagger into deep center. Sometime bet wen now and the end of the year there will be an exhibit at Ixmts school, It will consist of garments the girls have made in their sewing classes, of food they have cooked in their domestic science course, of articles made by the boys in their manual training wprk, and of other materials representing phases of the school work. The eighth grade girls had their last lesson in aewing for the year on Monday. They will take cooking for the next two months. The seventh grade, on the other hand, will take up sewing, having comploted their work in cooking. On« of our portables has been re moved to the Holladay school. It was no longer needed here, while, owing to the recent fire at the Holladay school, it was urgently needed there. Several of the boys arc busy mak ing radio seta in their manual train ing department. Now that radie- phones are so exceedingly popular, it aeema a very practical thing to do. M'ARTHUR NTATEN HIS PONTOON -------- Candidate Nays Why He Is Opposed to Bonus for Ex'Soldiers. Congressman C. N. McArthur in a speech delivered in the House of Rep resentatives on March 23, 1922, in relation to the bonus bill, pending be fore the house, claims that conditions at present are vastly different from those that existed two years ago and it is his opinion that the American poa- ple cannot stand the additional taxes which will result from the enactment of this measure and as the country ia now staggering under an enormous burden of indebtedness, it only signi fies that with further taxation in the immediate future, would mean more unemployment, more industrial de pression and disastrous economic dis orders. Hs claims that if the pending bill should become a law, it will afford only a small measure of financial relief to the individual ex-soldier who electa to accept the certificate option and borrow on the same at a bank, but that the sum total of the money which the treasury depart ment must raise to redeem these hypothecated certificates on October 1, 1925, will, according to reliable estimates, amount to 8650,000,000 and the immediate cash payment and ex penses of administration will amount to not less than $80,000,000 addi tional. The eventual cost of the leg islation to the taxpayers of thia coun try will be not less than $5,000,000,- 000, which ia one-fifth of the national debt. As congress has already appro . priated more than 81 ,600,000,000 for , the disabled and infirm soldiers, and has done so whole-heartedly and un grudgingly, he believes that congress is fullfilling every obligation in this ! respect, but ventures to say that the country does not look with favor upon 1 the pending measure. He claims that the increase in taxation—national, state and local—has reached such alarming proportions that the people in every secion of the country are de manding retrenchment along all lines. Mr. McArthur contends that every dal lor tied up in such certificates withholds a dollar from the channels • of business, industry and agriculture, where especially at this time money is badly needed. The measure is faulty, because it does not provide a sinking fund or amortization plan for the redemption of the adjusted-serv ■ ice certificate in 1925. This, conse . quently means that the necessary funds must be raised by additional taxation, and the burden will natural ly fall on the backs and stomachs of the consumer. His contention is, that the only proper alternative is a postponement of the measure in accordance with the president’s suggestion, until the coun try is in a more normal financial con dition and the country’s indebtedness has been reduced materially. This country is now staggering under a debt of nearly $25,000,000,000 and as money does not grow on trees and the wealth of the country is not in creased by printing money, it would be best for all concerned that this measure for the present should be cither amended or postponed until conditions present themselves that will warrant a real bonus for the ex soldier. During Mr. McArthur’s terms in congress, he said he has never failed to support any measure in behalf of an ex-soldier, but be lieves that at this time the bonus bill now pending will result in no benefit to him whatsoever.

As the story goes, he had a camp on the moon and brought his logs to earth with a “skyline” Anyhow, back in 1765, Paul did accompany General Braddock over the Allegheny mountains. He waa bead swamper then and the forest waa so dense that the army made only a mile a day. ‘ Slash ’em and burn ’em,” said Paul. "It will be a million years before anyone will need these trees.” Never theless, we are now paying $50 per leg for dining tables made from what little ia left of those hardwood for ests. But l’aul moved on to the pine forests of Michigan. “I will get me an ox team,” said he, “And invest my profit* in real estate. The timber here will support mammoth cities.” So he hauled logs day and night, the eity Kw, Paul got rich, and would have d happily ever after, thus ending the story— if the timber had held out. But it didn’t, and Paul went flat broke, and hastened away to the yel low pine woods of the south, where he took a contract falling timber. “Cut the stumps high.” £uoth Paul, "There is timl>*r enough here to sup ply the earth forever.” But soon the cam|0 began to close down and the mills began to disappear, and when the boss said “Cut ’em low,” Paul Bunyan quit and started for the Pa- cific northwest, where there was plenty of timber and no need of be ing so particular. But ne got an eye opener when he crossed the treeless plains. It gave him something to think about. “Great Scott.” cried Paul, a* he slid over the Cascades. '‘They r are bum- ing forests out here!_ W< re have no wood to waste.” So Paul got a job as fire warden, the moral of which is that it is a wise man who knows enough to change his mind! NOTES AND NEWS. Michael Collins and Arthur Griffith are to meet Eamon de Valera and Charles Burgess this week to talk over a possible truce between the Free Staters and the Irish Republi cans. That is a good sign and an example which might be followed by the representatives of the respective parties now in this country. A mora torium on the controversy would be a good idea until the Irish people have made up their minds. The new tariff bill as it comes from the .senate carries a rate of 30 cents a bushel on wheat. But the country exported nearly 300,000.000 bushels of wheat last year and, no doubt, will have an immense surplus to export this year.
