Parent - Teachers Close for the Summer The last regular meeting of the Parent-Teachers' Association was held Monday afternoon, May ISth. Mrs. Charleton reported as chair man of the field day committee, that about f 50 in prizes and money had been donated and given as prizes for the athletic sports held May 1st. She had 17 in cash left, which sum was voted an athletic fund to be used later for the public schools. The reports of the secretary and treasurer showed that this organ ization had raised and used for the school more than $100. It will be remembered that the tag day money was all spent for much needed books in the defferent grades. Besides being of this material benefit to the schools, this organ ization has brought the mothers and teachers into closer relationship and started a movement of co-operation which has been of great benefit to our schools. The program for the afternoon was unusually good. The songs by the seventh and eighth grades showed that these pupils had been well instructed in music during the past year. The four parts were taken by different groups of pupils. In the second song Prof. Lewark sang the solo while the pupils hum med the different parts Mrs. Winnek gave a paper on "Good Employment for Children During Vacation." This was fol lowed by further suggestions on the same subject by Miss Hubbard. Both of these talks contained many helpful suggestions.

It was unanimously voted to have it published in our city Pratt gave a short im promptu talk on "How Help Chil dren Grow into Happy Contented Boys and Girls."

Hensley Boy Has Very Narrow Escape The little Hensley boy came nearly being crushed under the wheels of a load of gravel the other day. The drivers of the teams hauling gravel on East F street have had lots of trouble in trying to keep the youngsters off the wagons but could not do so. The Hensley boy quietly got on the brake-beam of Clyde; Kinder's wagon for a ride and was thrown under the wheel. Kinder heard cries for help and stopped his team in time to prevent the wagon from going entirely over the youngster. The wheel caught the boy in the thigh but was backed off before going very far. Dr. Hyde examined the injured lad but did not find any broken bones. His leg is badly swollen but other wise the youngster is not hurt. Siwashes Swipe Some Breese Wool Ralph Breese, who lives on Combs Flat, had just finished shear ing and piled his wool at a con venient place for sacking. Some Indians came along and helped themselves during the night. They were suspected by Breese and when he notified the sheriff of his loss he told him of his suspicions. The sheriff rounded up the Siwashes and the missing wool was found. Just what will be done with the five Indians is the next question. They are now camped in town. J. C Houston Gets 15c for His Wool J. C. Houston of Roberts was in town Tuesday. He has just finished lambing. From 1250 ewes he got 1120 Iambs.

He contracted his clip at 15c delivered at the railroad. Last sea son he got but life. He will shear at the railroad while on the way to the summer range. Destructive - Beetle About Destroyed The work of "insect control" has been taken up again by the forest service in the Badger Creek water shed on the Ochoco National Forest. Only a comparatively small amount of work will be done this spring. The purpose of this control work has been primarily to determine whether or not insect infestations of this character can be controlled by artificial means, the results accomp lished to determine the practicabil ity of undertaking this work on other forests where similar infesta tions exist as well as to determine the best methods of controlling in festations of this character. The control work done in the Badger Creek watershed during the past two years has been very en couraging and has resulted in stop ping the damage almost entirely. The purpose of the work this spring will be to treat the few remaining infested trees, principally around the outskirts of the infestation, in order that the whole watershed may be as completely rid of the beetles as is possible. For the remaining part of May we will give double Brown Trad ing Stamps for all cash purchas es made for lawn mowers, rub ber and canvas hose, fly screen and swatters. O. C. Claypool & Co.
