This contest was state-wide and was held under the direction of the Oregon State Dental association. The first prize was ten dollars. Miss Sears started the children to work on the subject assigned, with no thought that results would be so gratifying. April 20, Nellie Dillon, Itoardman, Oregon. My Dear Young Friend: Your name has been certified to this department as being a prize winner in the third annual dental essay contest recently conducted by this board, through the assistance of State Superintendent J. A. Churchill, and the county superin tendents and teachers of the vari ous districts of the state; in pre senUng your prize, the Board of Dental Examiners compliments you upon your success, and wishes you equal good fortune in all your un dertakings. In the contest Just closed there were hundreds of contestants. If this number of sturdy American children will remember the dental lore which they read, and which they quoted, and which they wrote bucIi Interesting essays, and will themselves follow the good advice which they have offered, their later years will reap the benefit of this youthful enterprise and hundreds of future American homes will con tain healthier, and consequently, fcetter citizens, and the purpose for which, this contest was intended, will have been attained. The funds, which financed this and the preceding contests or a similar nature, Is contributed entirely by Ihe registered dentists of Oregon Not a penny of It la derived from public taxation. Each year a stated fee Is paid by every registered den tist of Oregon, and a part of that foe Is by law set aside for "educa tional purposes and general wel fare of the public" The essay con test of 1924 is the third of Its kind, and Its motive Is fully set forth un der the above mentioned purpose. Your prize Is herewith enclosed. I'lease accept It with the best wish es of the dentists of Oregon. Sound the value of good health through good teeth to all with whom you come In contact. No person, no matter what his station in life may be will ever regret the possession of good health, and if you may bring to someone, some needed fact, or share with him the knowledge that has become yours through that hardest of schools, that of experi ence, yon are Indeed a missionary to mankind. Sincerely, Oregon State Hoard of Denial K amlners, V. 1).

Tills ts great 1mtrovemeni over last year as There were only three or four Many have tiee trovent d from making a verfcrt attend anre record on account of the . -usual amount of contagious diaesa e this year. Our Janitor Mr Maeomber. familiarly known ma "Nate", has been our Janitor this year Seldom do schools procure the services of a man so well fitted for such a difficult task as that or being Janitor. A Janitor should be an agreeable fellow and well fitted for hu work- an all round utility man Boardman now has the services of such a man and that Is Mr Maoomb-r. Our cafeteria has been fortunate this year in having the services of Mrs. Gibbons, who has prepared all our noon lunches. Given a difficult position to fill, Mrs. Gibbons has given general satisfaction. Word received from the county superintendent's office was to the effect that the eighth grade class, consisting of fifteen members had passed the state examinations. The sixth grade was successful in the physiology and the seventh grade in Geography. No failures were reported. The entire high school and faculty journeyed through the hot sun last Friday to lone, where a track meet was held. Arlington, lone and lioardman were the competing high schools. Arlington won first honors and lone second. Boardman brought home a few slices of bacon which are listed as follows: Howard Packard first In high jump. Arthur Bailey, third in broad jump. Earl Olson second in shot put. Ray Dempsey first In javelin throw. Ray Dempsey first in half mile run. Earl Olson first in 4 40-yard dash. Howard Packard third high hurdles. Arthur Bailey third low hurdles. Considering that it was a new ex perience for our boys, and the lim ited time for training, they made a good showing against the seasoned veterans of the other schools. Our Janitor Our janitor is very gay, He likes to work as well as play. We see him wandering through the halls, Brushing cobwebs from the walls. Sometimes! the teacherB give him orders. He hurries around and never falters. Although he works very hard all day He never gives up his desire to play. Catherine Berger. Once upon a time there was a certain Freshman class in a certain school and they had a certain teach er that each certain Freshle wor shipped and loved with all his heart. Her name was Mrs. Crowder. She was sweet and fair, kind and good, beautiful in features and in soul. And she never gave up hope with those extraordinary Freshies. In algebra, which was especially hard for them, she especially helped. It was wonderful that any living person could possess such patience as sweet Mrs. Crowder. If any of the algebra students would tell Mrs. Crowder that they felt sure they would not pass, she would say In a brisk, cheerful tone: "Oh yes, you will. Don't think that you won't." Even If she felt It in her heart that they might not pass the examinations she always encouraged them. Mrs, Crowder was never snappy or angry with any of the students, although at times the provocation was great enough. She treated eve ryone alike and slurred no one. Composed by members of the Freshmen class. The manual training and sewing exhlhlt held In the domestic art room Tuesday and Wednesday has been a great success. Some of the most beautiful cedar chests and Jewel boxes made by the manual training boys were n part of the display. A new ironing board which any mother would be proud to use was also In the room. Mr. Qrlgg'l library table made by the boys of his class stood In the center of the room. Manual training boys you are doing fine Many dresses of the latest fash ton and of the most brilliant col ors were made and put on display by the sewing girls. There were al so other fashionable wearing ap parels alongside pillow slips, dollies, dish towels etc. The many visitors coming to see the students' works were Mes datues McDaniels, Bailey. Ballenger, Atterberry, Wicklander. Dillon. De weese. Maeomber. Gibbons, Cram er, Cox. llroyles, Kosar, and Hango. Mark A. Cleveland, who prints our I'tellem made a brief call at the school Wednesday. We wish Mr Cleveland had come earlier and stayed longer. Call again, Mr. Ed itor. Tlie hnseball season was not ex actly a failure, the boys winning three out of five games. The follow ing boys batted oer 300 per cent: Olson, 600; Ayera. 417; Wilson. 388; McClellan, 381 and Dempsey, 383. Letters were not given In baseball this year, but next year we expect to give them in all athletics. PRIMARY KVS It pays to work hard and do your r.t every Jay during a long school year, if you do not believe It, ask any tuemher of the first, second, third or fourth grades They know! They felt repaid when Tuesday of their last week in setuurl. .was a day to forget work and spend at jatst having a good time. Kvoryoiu.' brought an offering for the, feast tabic, and the big gjecn bus took us to the greenhouse, which Isn't a green house, at all. At least, there were green trees, and green grass, and plenty of room for play. The day was spent In playing games and eating our delicious abundance of luncheon. The best part of the news is not one nerson met with any accident, and not one was unable to come to school the next day. We were very happy to have so many parents, with us, not only for their help, but just for their pleas ant company. JOKES Howard "Why does a stork- stand on one foot?" Jim "I'll bite."

Mr George Messner of Twin Rocks, Oregon was an Irrigon visit or Thursday and Friday of last week. He went on to Grandview, Wash., before returning home. Mike Marshall, merchant at Cas tle, Oregon, made a business trip to Irrigon Wednesday. He reports his business pretty good at Castle since the tourist crop came on again. Mr H. K. Dean of Hermiston and County Agent Morse made a survey of Irrigon district Monday to inves tigate the reported alfalfa" weevil that had been reported but found no trace of It anywhere. Hen Benifiel who has been at Wasco. Oregon, for several months, returned the first of the week. He reports a very short wheat crop around Wasro owing! to the dry weather. The frost also did some damage. Nearly every member of the Mel on Growers' Association has Increas ed hli melon acreage considerable over the amount signed up and the association will probahly control about sixty acres or more. Pros pects for a crop appears good at this time as most of the growers re port a good stand since the weath er has warmed up a little. Jack rabbits are getting scarce Check of districts east, south and west of Irrigon where one would see hundreds of them three weeks ago. you can not find a dozen today. The poison paste bait on cedar has been very effective, There are few dis tricts yet where the halt has not been no thoroughly covered and scattering rabbits are to be found. Let us continue the good work and let us hope that other parts of the count will be covered In a like manner. The Weather Bureau of the I nlt ed States Department of Agriculture ts frequently asked how far In ad vance weather conditions mayl be reliably foretold. It Is generally known among meteorologists that the forecasting of weather for more than a few days in advance is at tended by great uncertainty, aud (or this reason no national weather servca o any country attempts de tailed forecasts of the weather for more than a week in advance Be yond a week the forecasting of weather ts attempted without a re liable and scientific basis therefor. The Boardman Mirror Boardman, Oregon MARK A. J I, KU-JL.INI), Publisher PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY 2.00 PER YEVR IN ADVANCE-- , Entered as second-class matter Feb 11, 1921, at the posteffice at Board man. Ore,, under act of Mar. 3, 1878 THE OAIXi OF HOME Cannon, Director of Farm Economics, D. S. Bureau of Recla mation. Some people of our day, probably on account of the deflations prob lems following- the World War, are inclined to murmur and complain, As a matter of comparison, there fore, it is here designed to repro duce the experience of that com pany of pioneers known to history as the Pilgrim Fathers. In the affairs of the human race the morning of December 7, 1620", brings into view an interesting epoch. The early dawn revealed in the offing a strange craft from the deck of which the Pilgrim Fathers for the first time sighted the snow covered mounds of Cape Cod. It was an inhospitable coast at best but at this particular time its deso late appearance was magnified by a strong winter's wind laden with a mixture of sleet, snow and rain. It was not until the 21st of De cember that they found, by accident, a little harbor, created by a small depression traversed by a now ice bound stream between two hills. Near the entrance of this stream was a partially submerged rock ov er which the Pilgrims, drenched by the icy waves of the bay, clambered to the shore and at once Sfet about to build homes in the wilderness. Under such conditions was the first attempt made to establish per manent homes in the western world. Without wealth or patronage, hem med In by a trackless forest, with savage perils about them at every turn, separated from friends and relatives that they would see no more, but sustained by a faith un paralleled, this little band of farm ers set out to lay the foundation of a colony based entirely upon the two compelling features home and liberty. This 'was the inception of the Great Republic which already has surpassed In power and wealth any polltical organization In the history of the world. These farmers set to work without delay building log liouses, but nearly all were 111 more or less and before they felt the invigorating touch of spring fully, half of their numbers were burled In a new made cemetery hard by. No pen has ever depicted their suffering but in the annals of the world their fame is securely fixed. Those of us, however, who in this day are inclined to complain, should remember that these farmers were actuated by the call of the home, by an insatiable thirst for Rberty of thought and action and a settle ment governed by laws of their own making and administered by magis trates of their own choosing. As a matter of policy we may with much profit, again turn back the pages pf time. The Plymouth settlement suc ceeded, when others failed, for the reason that these Pilgrim farmers reversed an old custom by putting everything possible into their farms, Including the elements of a home, instead of getting everything pos sible out of them. Actuated by any other purpose than that of establishing homes wherein to dwell in perpetuity, the Plymouth colony, handicapped by poverty and by the severity of a climate entirely unlike to which they had been accustomed, would have failed miserably. It is In fact, the love of home that made this re I ublic possible. It was this principle which sur- ied the vicissitudes of the inter M.'nlng years; a principle which has not yet been extinguished and one which a greed for power cannot cor rupt. It was this love of home and liberty that prevailed on the field ol Lexington; that sustained the thers on Hunkers Hill. It was this ; .inciple which triumphed at York-tnwn. COLLECTING POLLENS FOR HAY FEVER CURB NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION In Thurston County. Wash, the ological Survey of the United ites Department of Agriculture ;is been called upon recently to aid n the systematic eradication of mica. This campaign has been help ,i by extension workers who have icouraged farm women to make so ef moleakins as a trimming for othlng. especially for children's .at collars and cuffs, caps, and ,eir own dresses. A great many lOiea have been trapped by school vs, who have been offered 10 i nts or more for each pelt. In . me regions the Biological Surv.-v .is arranged to have pelts tanned r a small sum each; In other com inlties those who wish to use the ins get them tanned at a local nnery for a few cents. In many .ses the farm women tnemseives ve learned how to do the tan- :ig, either tnrougn ineir nome monstratlon clubs or by other ana. In this way the results of trapping serve a useful purpose at a nominal cost To meet the demands of all asth-' ma and hay fever suffers in the; state, Dr. Helen M. Gilkey, assistant ' professor of botany, Oregon Agricul-: tural college, is aiding in the work of collecting pollens for the cure of hay fever. Nation-wide interest is being created in the work. The bot any department is flooded with re quests from many sections, accord ing to Dr. Gilkey, but it is unable to meet the demands because tlitl, pollen causing the hay fever must j be available.
