IRRIGON NEWS ITEMS The Irrigon Commercial club held a special meeting Saturday evening, Nov 10th, to discuss ways and means to meet the indebttdness incurred last spring installing the new irriga tion system consisting of a 15-inch pipeline from the south side of the railroad tracks to the high point on the north side, which will cover all the townsite properties. On account of the town not being incorporated no direct taxation could be made and it was up to those wishing to prop erly irrigate their properties to do something, and beside the Farm bu reau members were anxious to do something to irrigate the park prop erly. The more active members of this bureau got together with the townspeople and the line was in stalled by money loaned under Joint notes. At this meeting it was de cided to pull off a series of "doings," and in this way begin cutting down the principal. A dance was decided upon for Saturday evening, Nov. 17th in Wadsworth hall, but it was soon certain that this hall would not ac commodate the crowd which has promised to attend and the old school building was secured and the floor fixed up for the big occasion. It was also decided to hold a big turkey shoot and raffle on Sunday, Nov. 25, beginning at 10 o'clock in the morn ing and held all day. Several thous and turkeys have been spoken for and George E. Hendrick, specialist on "mulligans," will be the chief chef, ably assisted by C. E. Glasgow, also eminent authority on preparation of "mulligans," who will serve "mulli gan" dinner from 12, noon, to 3 p. m. Light rifles will be used, 22s pre ferred, but. groups can arrange to shoot heavier guns If enough go to gether to do so at any time. Various other means can be arranged as may be desired by the crowds as the old school building will be a good place for all purposes. The "mulligan" will be served from the kitchen of the old school building. This feast promises to be the big end of the day. Everybody Invited from far and near. Bring guns along. F. E.

We have the material, the coach, and the pep. We neid a gym. Why haven't we got one? The Boardnian high boys i.ave been playing in the snow sev ral seasons. Every school in the Columbia River league has its gym oai jsniv iHuoufr s,rGu.AY 'sn tdooxa play another season of basketball on snow shoes? A gymnasium is one of the chief attractions of the public school Many Students receive am education be cause of their desire to play in com petitive games. In order to play on a higli school team you must be come a member of that school. The athletic league requires a certain per centage in not less than three sub jects to be eligible to play. The de sire of a student to compete over comes any tendency to dodge his lessons and he goes thru with high grades whether or not that is his lea son for attending. The school has changed in the last few years. Not many moons ago the word school could he defined in a very few words: Text-books, slates, husky teachers, and a cord of hickory "gads." The knowledge of books and literature made up education. The graduate stepped out from the school with a stack of rules and reg-. utauons ana witn as little capability of using them as before he entered. Athletics change all this. Six steady hours in a stuffy school-room becomes very wearisome. One half hour in the fresh air of a gym brings back the same invigoration with which the day was started. Athletics bring education into use as it is ob tained. These are two minor rea sons why the course of learning nec essitates a recreation hall. But the main reason is its ten denc to inspire a sense of competi tion. When this stale is reached we play a broader game. We are not satisfied with the present standard but kiep on trying to better our selve i md become just as much more officii ' than the other fellow as possi ble. ' !tg rapidity of a nation's growth is in '.iured only by its constant striv ; to forge ahead. This might be ap iied to the school. As long as we arc satisfied with the present we do n" want to change. Co '3 on now Boardnian, let'a boos or a gymnasium. We know the it-, tatcst reason of all. Bride.
