Thirty-five couples were in attendance, several guests Deing present from Independence and Monmouth. The affair was managed entirely by the ladies, and its success reflects rare credit upon everyone who took part. It was a pretty scene that greeted the eye when the guests had all assembled and the opening strains of the orches tra bad animated it into motion. The beautifully gowned women, graceful movements of the dance, and the happy faces of the young folk, all contributed to form a brilliant moving picture not soon to be forgotten by those who were so fortunate as to be present Stockwell's orchestra of nine pieces furnished a program of the very latest popular music, including all of the ball room hits and song successes of the day. The guests united In declaring that the musical program was the best ever furnished by the orchestra since its organization. The printed programs of the evening were strikingly handsome, and were in keepiug with the occasion. The cover of each bore a large carnation, beautifully embossed in pink, while the last page was adorned with the "swastika," the popular emblem of good fortune. The fact that the num bers 13 and 23 had been omitted from the program by the hostesses of the evening also caused much merriment among the guests. The evening passed most pleasantly to all, and it was not until the orches- struck up the strains of "Home, Sweet Home," at 1 :30 o'clock in the morning that the merry dancers found the con sent of their minds to depart The Leap Year ball was successful beyond the fondest anticipations of its pro moters, and the fair members of the club who originated and carried out the idea have received many con gratulations and words of praise.

Building Dallas, Oregon DALLAS WINS FIRST GAME Defeats Multnomah on Portland Floor in Opening Game For Championship. Dallas moved up one good, strong notch nearer the state basketball championship by defeating the Mult nomah team in a whirlwind game on the Portland floor, Wednesday night The contest was a sizzler from start to finish, and the Portland boys had the better end of it in the first half, the score standing 9 to 6 against Dallas when the whistle blew for the inter mission. But in the second stanza. old Ned Shaw unwound himself a yard or two, and Savery and Fenton and Claude and Beck got as busy as a cranberry merchant the day before Thanksgiving, and then oh, well, there was nothing to itl They just went ahead and did Multnomah up in the good, old Dallas way the way that always inspires Banker Williams and Ph.D. Cherringtoo, and the rest of the bunch, to indulge in that Jim Pierce war dance. How do we know) Why, just for the simple reason that it couldn't have been any other way, and, besides, John Bird says so and he was there. For Dallas can sure play basketball, when it hasn't got the mumps. The boy with the chalk wrote some thing like "Multnomah, 16; Dallas, 18," when the cruel war was over. The next game of the championship series will be played on the Dallas floor tomorrow night Take your knitting and go early, or you may not be lucky enough to get a seat.

You've often heard folks make this remark : "If it wasn't for eating we'd soon be rich I" I guess eating is the first law of Nature. What would merchants and manufacturers and the millions of working men and women do for a living if everybody quit eat ing? Besides half tbe pleasure in life is in sitting up to the tempting viands with which we satisfy our appetites. The people that don't eat well, don't half live. Pa says he didn't know what good living was till he came to Dallas, and I got my job with U. 8. Loughary. We surely have the dandi est assortment of good things to eat of any store around.
