PRINEVILLE BASKET BALL TEAM WINS Bend Girls are Out played N VISITORS TENDERED RECEPTION Liit Meeting of Societies Held And Entertainig Program Rendered After the Ken J High School and Crook County High School basket ball game Katurday evening, the Iirml tfiim wm tendered a recep tion at the High Hchool. The re ception room waa appropriately decorated with blue and red, (the Kend color) interwlned with the blue and gold (the Crook County High Hchool colore) while the booth where the girla dinned punch was suggestively festooned with net in which were hung miniature banket balls. To carry out the banket ball idea, thete were uxed to aecure partnera for the progree elve conversation game which gave all an opportunity to display their ability aleng this line. At a late hour, "(ioodnight Ladiea" waa eung and the guest departed, ex preraing a hope that they would toon meet the Crook County High Hchool atudenta again which hope waa heartily echoed by the Crook County High School. Mr. Wickernham ia again with her claaea after an absence of a week in which the viaited the choola of IWnd and Redmond and attended an institute at Culver. Her report from theee schools ie very gratifying, aaehe commended the work very highly. AtUrtict. The baaket ball . game between the Mend High School and the Crook County High School last Saturday evening at the Club Hall waa moat interesting- at it waa the first opportunity either team had had of measuring ita atrength with an outside team. Both teams went on the floor with the hope of winning and while the C. C. 11. S. (lirla had the advantage of being on their home floor, yet they were nt a disadvantage in never having played a game under girla' rules and felt rather doubtful of victory, aa the opposing team had been practicing girla' rules all year. The C. C. 11. S. girls showed su perior and .faster playing In every position and it was easy to decide the victors after the first five min utes of play but not the score, as the most sanguine did not predict a score of 29 to 4 in favor of the C. C. II. S. but that was the sched ule at the end of the second half. The tennis courts are being put in order and we hope to have a match game on Junior Day. Oclwcaaiu, The last meeting of the Ochocon ian Society for the school year was held last Friday and we all agree with the critic, Miss Agnes Elliott, that it was the best final program that the society has listened to, as there has always been a tendency to shirk at this last meeting, but every number showed careful thought and preparation. , The opening number was an "original" by Miss Lotta Smith on "Oregon KticmiuiQ , nuiuu nip luiioncu vj a . humorous reading by Hums Montgomery. Next came the re citation by Lawrence Lister, which waa the predecessor of an excellent talk by Miss Emerien Young. The "Seniors' Farewell" by Clark Morse fittingly closed the meeting. - Alpha. Tim lnol nrnorim renilornil Viv ---- r- D -. j the Alpha Society was of unusual excellence. The recitations by Charles and Roy Lowther showed the ability of these students along declamatory lines. Robert Kester'a "original", in which he impressed upon the students their obligation to the society was well selected, as was Miss Louise Summers essay on "Duty." Miss Amy Davenport gave a semi-comic reading which was greatly enjoyed by the society The program closed with Current Events by Roy McCallister, who told of many interesting things happening in he world distant from us. , Fret tmi Sssiari. Donald liurleigh, '13, spent Sat urday and Sunday with bis parents at Redmond. Saturday and Sunday was pleas antly spent by George Mingnrs at his home at Lamonta. Rums Montgomery spent Satur day and Sunday at his home on Crooked River. The inter-high school oratorical contest at La Grande comes on May 21, this makes it impossible for Wilford Reiknap to go unless he misses . the commencement exercises, so he haa resigned in favor ol the aecond contestant, Roy Iowthcr, who. will represent the C.C.H. 8.

Continued from first page. Miss Parrott followed with a most interesting discussion on mental suggestion, taking first, the suggestion of the teacher to the pupils and second, the teacher's suggestion to herself. She closed with several helpful aphorisms. The citizen and the school was the subject of an address by Mr. Springer of Culver. Among other good things he said that our civ ilization ia founded on the intellec tual development of its citizenship. It is important that parents should be educated, said the speaker, but infinitely more important that the teachers should be educated because it is they who mold largely the character of our boya and girls. The institute closed, after a prof itable session, by an excellent paper on the "School and the Home" by Superintendent Ford.

Kasparilla is admitted to be the best remedy for that lack of energy and the peculiar debility so prevalent during the close of winter and the opening of spring. For derangement of the di gestive organs it is a natural corrective, operating directly upon the liver and ali mentary canal, gently but persistently stimulating a healthy activity. It beneficial influence extends, however, to every portion of the system, aiding in the Kocesaes of digestion and assimilation of txl, promoting a wholesome, natural appetite, correcting sour stomach, bad breath, irregularitie of the bowel, con stipation and the long list of trouble directly traceable to those unwholesome conditions.'
