excellent entertainment of a kind
seldom seen in a school. Not only
was the play high class but the act
ing and singing was above the aver
age. There was no leading man or
woman. Oopportunities for display
of dramatic talent were rather ev
enly distributed throughout, and
every character was well portrayed.
As Uncle Eph. remarked: "There
is considerable dramatic talent in
Boardman," and his play was well
calculated to call it forth.
Since there was no leading man or
woman in the play it may also be re
marked that there was no leading
man or woman in the preparation of
the entertainment. The entire school
staff was behind it and cheerfully
contributed to its success. Even the
business men, and neighbors on the
project cooperated in a most help
ful manner, loaning clothing for
costumes, and properties for the
stage. It was Boardmau's day and
Bo&rdraan'a play.
The audience, though not overly
large, was appreciative and showed
a kindly sympathetic interest in the
work of the children thus giving to
Uncle Ephraim a clearer vision of
the "bright side of life."
For the Play
Mrs. Crowder and Mr. Mulkey
trained the speakers, arranged the
details in stage performan'.'o
George Allen's house burned
down Thursday about 3 o'clock in

having current events every two
weeks. This makes the lessons more
interesting and it is all very help
ful to the students.
The advanced sewing class has
finished the work necessary to earn
their credits and are now making
dresses and doing fancy work.
At the tree planting gathering at
De Moss Springs, Sherman county,
the following speeches were delivered:
To the school children of Sher
man county -On behalf of the
Boardman Community school, I pre
sent to you these seeds from our lo
cust trees. If you plant and keep
them well watered for a time they
will produce manifold. They can
and then be transplanted wherever de
sirable, and will help to beautify
not only your highways, but your
homos as well.
In the heart of a seed,
Iluried deep, so deep;
A dear little tree lay fast asleep.
"Wake," said the sunshine,
"And creep to the light."
"Wake," said the voice of the rain
drops bright.
The little tree heard,
And it rose to see
What the beautiful outside
World might be be.

Monday morning a student bod
meeting was held for tho purpose of
Ladies and gentlemen - We are
very glad for the privilege of being
here today and it gives up great
pleasure (o present these trees to
Sherman county's boys and girls.
At Boardman we have a school
nursery in which we have planted
two thousand trees and about ten
thousands seeds from which we
hope to reap a great harvest of
trees.
For over three hundred years
man has been destroying the trees
of this country. It remains for us to
plant, plant and keep on planting
trees lest our land become a barren
plains and treeless mountains.
If we begin now it will not be
many years until we shall see East
ern Oregon become a land beauti
fied with living green.
We should like to have you take
those seeds and trees we have
iirougtit today and plant them in ai
school nursery. Then when it seems
the proper time, transplant them so
that they may adorn your school
grounds, your homes and parks.

Tho freshman sewing class are
pleased to think Miss Marvin took
their picture Tuesday morning.
L. P. Davidson one of the county
commissioners, with Wm. McCaleb,
road supervisor from the south end
of the county, were in Irrigon look
ing over the ferry road Saturday.
They are figuring on a direct road
from the ferry to the Columbia
Highway and will have same post
ed at once. It will not be possible
to do anything on thl road for a
year or so, however, and the present
road will be repaired for the time
being. Six hundred feet of plank
road will be put in where sand has
caused some trouble and other
patches fixed up temporarily.
Regular monthly meetings of the
farm bureau was held in the high
school auditorium Saturday evening,
April 5, and some very important
business discussed, Including! state
income tax question and the coun
ty school unit plan. The bureau
went on record as opposed to state
income tax on account of its effect
upon the state and practically no
reductions in taxes due to income
tax collections. Its repeal was rec
ommended at the earliest possible
date. The County School Unit plan
was likewise condemned along the
same lines, as being fostered by a
few for the purpose of making big
paying positions and additional tax
es and graft. The only way to re
duce taxes is to discontinue voting
additional graft and useless taxes.
R. B. Wilcox, president of the
Morrow County. Farm Bureau, with
his two daughters and boy, also
County Agent Morse attended this
n ting. Mr. Wilcox gave us a leng
thy talk on the dairy cow while his
children demonstrated milk testing
and methods of keeping records. Mr.
Morse talked at some length on the
rabbit poison campaign question and
arrangements were made to cover
the territory thoroughly with paste
bait on cedar shingles. Gates will be
placed on all bridges over the main
canal to keep the rabbits back in thej
sage brush country. Forces are ,
lined un to do this work on Sunday
April 13.
