Annual school m eeting, June 15.
The Falls C ity Lum ber Co. sent
out 1,900,000 fe e t o f lumber last
month.
Mrs. A ddie M ontgom ery moved
from Dallas to Falls C ity, this
week.
Th e county court is said to have
announced that Falls C ity w ill be
paid only h a lf o f the $1,344.19
road tax money to be collected
from our citizens this year. W hy
not also keep h a lf o f the $2,688.37
general tax money and h a lf o f

be paid by Falls City and district

Result of Manual Training
Th e manual training class at
the Falls C ity high school has
recently constructed a D irector’ s
Table fo r the Bank o f Falls C ity
that is an excellent piece o f work,
and could hardly be equaled by
experienced workm en.
The officials o f the bank in vite
the public to call and inspect this
splendid exam ple o f high-class
m ade-in-Oregon school work.
Th e class is now at work on a
com plete outfit o f Mission fu rn i­
ture fo r the bank.
P ro f. Barnhart is entitled to
much credit fo r the careful train­
in g he has given the class in this
work, and the school directors, al­
so, are to be commended fo r hav­
in g made it possible fo r such work
to be done in connection w ith the
school.
________
In this connection, it is proper
to remind our people that they
have a duty to p erform at the next
school m eeting, June 15th, and
that is to authorize the directors
to erect a suitable building, large
enough to provide rooms fo r the
manual training a n d domestic
science classes, and also a g y m ­
nasium. Th ere is not sufficient
room in the present building fo r
th e school work that must be done
n e x t year, as it w ill then be nec­
essary to em ploy an additional
g ra d e teacher. T h ere are other
good and sufficient reasons w hy
this m atter o f a new building
should be acted on this year,
which w ill be discussed before the
date o f the annual m eeting.

A door key ia en inconsistent if
sot an altogether eenscleea affair.
It may bo all right in iteelf, but it
ts often used to lock doors, snd a
locked door is a very foolish thing.
Somo doors, you nisy remark, Iocs
themselves, snd s door key is neces­
sary to unlock them. That might
be a reasonable excuse for the ex­
istence of the key, but such a key,
if it is not lost or on the wrong aide
>( the door, frequently gets stuck
snd refuses to open the door. If
there were no door key# there would
in all probability be no locked doors,
and that would bo a very enjoysbls
•tate of society.
With the door locked end the key
inside, it is difficult for anybody
except a burglar to get inside, and
of course a burglar is the only per­
son we want to seep out. Burglar#
can get in just aa easily with the
door locked as with it unlocked, but
thq rest of us are not so clever.
You know yourself how it is. You
have carried ladders snd climbed
into upstair# windows or Lave drop­
ped through basement windows into
the coal bin or have tried to go
through transoms snd been rescued
by neighbor# from an embarrassing
if not a dangerous position. Every­
body knows all about getting into e
house without a key.
Sometimes you cannot get in at
all. One morning a woman follow­
ed her husband to the front steps,
and tho door slammed and the night
lock was on and the key was ineide,
and her husband had caught the
car. She was canning pcara end
had put them on the stove to cook
while she was getting breakfast
They were still cooking and would
soon ^bo burning. Tha baby was
crying for his breakfast. She could
not get in. None of the neighbors
could get in. Somebody telephon­
ed to her huaband, and perhaps it
was not more than an hour before
he got home with his key. Am
hour ia a long time, and tha pear*
and tbs baby were in a terrible
state. It would have been better
if there had been a burglar in the
house. He could have turned out
tho gas and have fod tbs baby, end
ho might have opened the door. A
good old fashioned latchstring, al­
ways out, would reliave ua of so
much responsibility and would be
so much safer.— Indianapolis Neve.

Sample Ballot, City of Falls City, Oregon, April 6,1914
M. W. A.
A lecture by that brilliant crafts­
man and poet William Morris was
not always a season of rare enjoy­
ment. Sometimes, according to Mor­
ris’ biographer, Mr. Conipton-Rick-
ett, his lectures were dull, as on one
particular occasion when he turned
to one of the women in his audi­
ence and asked her how she liked
the lecture.
“ Not at all,” was the unexpected
reply. “ But I thought the color of For
your blue shirt charming.”
Morris was delighted, for he had
taken great pains to find the right
dye. His love of color, particularly
indigo blue, was as keen as his de­ 300
light in Gothic art.

The very earliest banking firm of
which there is any record was that
of Egibi & Sons, an institution

Knowledge of this firm is obtained
from certain records on clay tablets
which have been found in recent ex­

the site of the ancient city above
