A reception is to be given at the
High School Saturday evening by
our freshmen. It takes the fresh
men to keep things going here at
the High without them "pep"
would be a minus quantity.
The M. H. S. wishes to extend a
vote of thanks to the town people
for their loyalty and support in
our recent basket-ball games. Great
interest was shown in the game
Tuesday night between the Wood-
burn High and the Monmouth
High. Alto they won by one point
Woodburn had a hard fight and if
we had had a few more minutes in
which to play they would have lost
even that one.
There was some fine rooting done
for our boys by the M. H. S. and
the town in spite of the fact that
three of our most illustrious stud
ents saw fit to lend their attentions
to some of the fairer sex of our sis
ter city, Independence, instead of
giving their support to their own
teams. Some of the remarks made
by them were at the cost
of their
own honor and patriotism
to dear
old Monmouth High. We extend

our greatest sympathy to the girls
of Independence who were thus so
unfortunately afflicted. We trust
that such disloyalty as was evident
here Tuesday night does not exist
in their school. Jf so we advise
them to inform the troublesome
ones as to which door is the way
out.
The girls will play their return
game with Silverton next Tuesday.
A fast game is anticipated, for they
expect to keep up their record, that
of winning once from every town
yet played this year.
Our boys also will play Silverton
next Tuesday. They will have one
of the best teams of the state to
contend with but this does not
daunt them as they are a "fightin'
bunch." Their return game with
! Woodburn will be played this
I Thursday.

Ten Years Ago I i
It is ten years ago now that the

the instrumentality of the senate,
refused to grant further appropria

disposed to close the school but on
petition of Monmouth people allow-
d the local institution to contin
ue through the efforts of students,
faculty and local citizens. Pres. E.
Ressler prepared a statement for
the press in which he stated that it
would be a wrong to the students
not to allow them to finish their
terms.

Making Catcara
In another month the sap will be
up in the Chitum trees and another
industry of this section, heard of
little but practiced much, will be in
full swing. "It's an industry that's
away from the ordinary haunts of
people," said W. C. Brown of the
Sheridan Warehouse, to whom the
chitum peelers come each spring
with their waret. Indians make
their living by it and the settlers on
their claims awayoff in the hills
and mountains pay their yearly ex
penses with it.
It is no uncommon sight, said
Mr. Brown, "to see these settlers
come into town with two or three
tons of this dried bark. At the
high price paid last year three tons
meant $900, and a good chitum
peeler could average $3 a day eas
ily. But it is the Indians who do
most of the peeling. They will take
their knives, go along the creeks of
the reservation when the sap is up
and slip the bark off in the twink
ling of an eye. A tree about 3 or
4 inches in diameter is their favor
ite, but they do their work with
sangfroid. A little work soon but
ters their bread and then it is la la
until another year rolls around.
About fifty per cent is allowed for
shrinkage in drying. But the work
not all over when the bark is
dried thoroughly. Then it must be
broken up into fine pieces. This is
the form it is in for shipping and in
which it goes to the manufacturer
for the transformation into the dif
ferent kinds of cascara medicine.

pare a splendid tribute to tbe work
which this agency accomplished under

At Its own request the American T.

army, resulted In tbis decision. Car
ter wrote to Oeneral Perablng January
29th aa follows:
Dear Oeneral Pershing:
A year and a half ago yon re
quested the Y. M. C. A. to under
take operations for poat exchanges -for
tbe American Expeditionary
Forces In order that "officers snd
ollited men may not be taken
away for that purpose from their
paramount military functions ot
training and fighting.".
As soon as hostilities ceased wt
raised with you the question
whether time had not come for the
T. M. C. A. to be relieved of the
operation of post exchanges In
view of the fact that there was no
longer the same pressing demand
on man power of the army fof
training snd lighting. When we
first raised the question with you
It did not sppear to you that it was
feasible In tbe best Interests of
maximum service to the army that
a change be made, Now the situ
ation Is materially altered.
Recent general orders from main
headquarters and requests from
commanding officers have laid on
tbe T. H. C. A, Increased responsi

Don't neglect' a constant back

have your friends and neighbors.
Riley 1. Rugg, retired farmer,
404 g. Fourth St., Corvallis, Ore.,
says: "I would have to get up per
haps a dozen times a night, so bad
ly was I bothered by kidney and
bladder trouble. When I began us
ing Doan'i Kidney Pills, I could
soon see they were acting with
good effect, for my kidneys began
acting regularly and I could get a
good night's rest. Three boxes of
Dean's Kidney Filli made a marked
improvement in my condition and
all symptoms of kidney and bladder
trouble disappeared." (Statement
given April 2, 1918.)
On April 5, 1916 Mr. Rugg said:
"What I have said in my former
statement recommending Doan'i
Kidney Pills still holds good. I
take them when I feel, In need of a
kidney medicine and they always do
me good." 60c, at all dealers. Fos-ter-Milburn
