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.
Mrs. Dishman who was program
med for a selected talk gave a most
excellent paper on "Mother and
Home." 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."
Mrs. Claypool gave a short talk
on "How Help Children Form
Habits of Tidiness and Cleanliness."
This was followed by further re
marks by Miss Jeffries.
Mrs. Belknap and Miss Hewes
were elected to represent this or
ganization at the State Parent
Teachers' Association to be held in
Portland this summer.
On motion the secretary was in
structed to write resolutions of apt
preciation to the outgoing teachers
for the excellent work they have
done during the past year.
The following officers were
elected for the ensuing year:
President, Mrs. Edwards.
Vice-president, Mrs. Shattuck.
Secretary, Mrs. R. E. Gray.
Treasurer, Mrs. Cooper.
Music and Art De

The music and art department of
the Ladies' Annex met in the club
rooms recently. There was a
majority of the members present

the decision of the lower court in
the case of the State of Oregon vs.
John McPherson, chaiged with the
larceny of a mare from George
Millican.
The case of Dick Garrett, charged
with the larceny of a steer on Wil
low creek, was affirmed.
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 says that this is
the best season he ever experienced
in this or any other country for
sheep. The grass has been excel
lent, the winter mild and the price
fair. 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.
