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.

gram waa a violin solo by Lueila

LENTS SCHOOL NOTES.
By Mala School Pupil11.
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

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.

FOREST FABLES
Chapter From the History of Paul
Bunyan.
Paul Bunyan was a famous logger.
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. With the price of wheat

Ku Klux arithmetic is a curious af­
fair. Some weeks ago the klan’s
Portland membership was given as
9000. But this week, after initiating
more than 1200 candidates in one
batch, the membership is said to num­
ber 8500.
_
The local chief of the klan is re­
ported in the daily press as bein^the
receiver of an-order of bootleg whisky,
thus proving his 100 per cent Ameri­
canism.
The sterling Americanism of the
Ku Klux organization is beginning to
appear elsewhere also. In Denver the
other day a Kluxer refused to give
testimony before the grand jury be­
cause of the oath he had taken to
the klan; it required an order of the
district court to compel the klgnsman
to furnish the information desired. At
Wichita Falls, Tex., last week three
klansmen were fined $100 each for
refusing to answer questions concern­
ing the Ku Klux asked of them by
