Success. At a meeting of the Advisory Board of ti>e Mothers’ Club, having in charge the Lenta Playground, held at tlie Library rooms last Friday evening, it wu de ci'led to set Saturday, March 16 as a general clean-up day and to aak for an army of volunteers to clear off the first acre or two of the new playground re cently acquired from the County Court by the club. Every parent in town is asked to turn out armed with a grub hoe, axe. and spade and "fall to.” The mothers are asked to bring sandwiches and other eatables that the toiler« may be fed. Tlie tract of land secured for this pur pose is ideally situated and while con siderable time and money will have to be spent in getting it into sliape, never theless it ii a great tiling for the town and it's children. It is first promised to clear a tract of sufficient site for a base ball grounds for the «mailer boys and then to fence the gravel pit and clear that portion of the property. Later trapeae, swings, slides and other modern playground apparatus will be installed. Make arrangement« now to be on hand that day or send a substitute and let us start the liall "a rollin!’* The workers will be divided into squads and will be under the supervi sion of a Superintendent and an assist ant. There is work for at least 200 peo ple there on that day—will you be one one of them? YOUNG FOLKS IN PIANO RECITAL Mrs. C. A. Daniels presented in piano recital the younger members of her piano class at the home of Mrs. Yost on Gates St., Saturday afternoon, March 2nd. She especially brought forward two young players Blanche Yost and Mabel Keinher, each of whom rendered live selections which had been commited to memory. Their work was very well done. Mrs. L. W. Sandberg and Miss Jennie Shoebeek, vocal students of Mrs. Daniels contributed several vocal selections dur ing the afternoon which was highly appreciated. The youngest child to take part in the program was Paul Daniels, 6 years old. who sang a little swing song in clear childish tones. The house was most l>eautifully decor ated for ti>e occasion, hot house Howers appearing everywhere in profusion The dining room was esjiecially attractive the table being decorated with smilax inter woven with violets. In the center stood a bouquet of carnations and Easter lillies Refreshments consisted of ice cream, cakes, oranges, bananas, home made candy and coffee.

Residence 8026 65th Ave , S. F., ( near Oregon City road. ) 2t Following the early morning fire of last Saturday, the Lents Volunteer Fire Department inaugurated a Tag Day that, though gotten up in a hurry, never theless was a decided success. Tlie little tags were sold everywhere and by even ing there was hardly a person in town who had not bought one or more of them. Some of the merchants wen-gen erous enough to pay 32, 33 and even 35 for them and assisted tbe cause in every way possible. Following so close upon tbe disastrous fire as it did, people realised tbe impor tance of securing better fire fighting apparatus and of aiding the volunteer ■lepartment all that waa possible. Wednesday evening the Isis Theatre was teniiered to the toys for a benefit show and by thia means 316.«0 waa rais ed and the treasury «welled to something like 375 00. The crowd that attended the Isis on this date say that a most en joyable time was liad and the boys in their turn wish to thank the people for their hearty response to their appeal for aid. The department ie working to secure more hoee, and, if possible, a small chemical engine. This, it ia thought, would be one of tbe beet investments that could lie made and would be an effective means of extinguishing small biases in the residential sections. A movement is being started to secure the signatures of 2UU people to <-ontri- bute 31.00 each toward a fund for a chemical engine and the papers will make their appearance soon. It ie a worthy cause and should meet with in stant approval. With a population of 12000 we should have no trouble in se curing this small sum and it would un doubtedly be the means of saving more than one home from destruction, judg ing from some of the recent fires that have visited this section. MULTNOMAH COUNTY FAIR DIRECTORS GET BUSY The directors of the Multnomah County Fair, as it is now known, met in Gresham Monday afternoon, and elected Superintendents for the follow ing season. J. W.

Mr. Weeton, the retiring proprietor will reside in Port land for the time being. The new man ie now in charge and ia doing a good business Don’t Fail to Join the One-in-Two-Hundred Movement la your home in danger of being destroyed by fire? Do you want to prevent such a thing? Weil here is an opportunity; a movement has been started called the “One in- Two-Hundred by which citizens and property holders hope to realize a sufficient sum with which to secure more and better fire fighting apparatus than we now have. As proposed the plan is to get the signatures of 200 people, each promising to contribute the sum of $1, to be paid when the full two hundred signatures have been secured. Already over twenty people have signified their intention of signing the paper—will you help this good cause? A dollar put to this use now may be the means of sav ing your home from the ravages of fire and save you $500 or perhaps a thousand dollars. When the paper is presented for your signature do not turn it down, sign it and urge every one of your friends to do the same—it’s a good cause and an urgent one. Talk it, boost it, push it through—PROTECT YOUR HOME AGAINST FIRE. And remember the school house where 800 lives are daily in danger of fire.
