WIGGS” DRAWS A CROWDED HOUSE The high school auditorium w a s crowded almost to the limit last Friday night to see and hear the much talked of play “ Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch.’’ That the same was fully up to expectations waa proven by the fact that dozens nf people declared they were ready to go back the next night and witness it over again. Space forbids us to mention all the good ones who took part, suffice to say that they ALL played their parts like veterans. M i s s Kearns a a “Mrs. Wigga” was the very personification of the motherly woman with a houseful of children, but not so crowded but that she had room for Lovey Mary and her little friend. Freada Allis as “ Miss Hazy” was just too utterly too— absolutely beyond description, and so excruciatingly funny that she will probably be nicknamed "Miss Hazy’’ for years to come. Roy Follis as “ Mr. Stubbins” the re calcitrant husband is the only and or iginal “hayseed“ in or near Stayton. and was all to the mustard. And then there was Wanda Brown as “ Lovey Mary” , Helen Staab as “ Miss Lucy”, Guy Hurt as “ Chris Hazy” , »»* %%* A. ¿.G ardner Jr. as “ Mr. Schultz” , and all the rest even to the Sunday school class. Goodness gracious you should have been there (and probably NOTICE ycu were) and have seen the whole Stayton fishermen and others will aggregation—the best school play ever take notice that the waters of Thomas put on in Stayton. Creek, and tributaries in Linn county, have been closed to fishing until March 1st, 1919. These creeks are to be Mrs. J. A.

THE WA HI CLUB The members of the Club met at th« hospitabie home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Tate on Wednesday February 11. As it was Valentine’s Lay the bouse was decorated accordingly, red hearts everywhere, relieved b y ferns a n d Oregon grape. After the business ses sion of the club was over, the rest of the afternoon waa spent visiting, fancy work, and music, both vocal and instru mental and last but not by any means least, Mias Genevieve Patton gaye us "Aunt Sophronia at the Opera” which was rendered in a very pleaaing man ner, and waa greatly enjoyei by all present. But the heat was given in the afternoon’s entertainment when Mrs. Tate, at the usual hour, invited us to the dining room, where a pretty sight met the eye. The long table waa beautifully decorated by a large brass basket filled with Oregon grape encir cled with red ribbons trimmed with hearts of the same color, in various sizes, from which streamers of the same hue were fastened to the pretty favors at each plate. A splendid lunch was served by the hostess, assisted by Miss Patton, to which we all did ample justice. But time flies, and we must go, so after thanking our hostess for a jolly after noon we left, and the li-t thing we saw was the beaming face of our host, as he waved os a hearty good-bye. Those visiting us at this time were; Mesdamea Downing and King, Mips Patton and Masters Asahel Tate and J. T. Hunt Jr. A member.
