Uu close of tlu week. Tho Farm
Bureau committeemen engaged in

with tlio county's loading breeders
of puro slock at tho Monmouth
Commoroin! Club tliis Friday after
noon Pec. 10. County Agent Paul
Carpenter stated root lit ly that there
is a movement on fool to institute
a campaign fur the utter elimina
tion of scrub sires and of bovine
, tuberculosis from this county. Sev
eral breeders of prominence have
urged that tho livestock depart
nient of the county fair also be
placed on its feet.
Critics have pointed out the 300
head of tine stock shown at the Til
lamook fair in contrast to the com
plete lack of cattle at the loca I
event. The breeders feel that it is
strictly up to them to build up a
live s'ook department that is worthy
of the name. The findings of the
committee will be reported at the
general livestock meeting at Mon
mouth the following Friday, the
17th.
All Farm Bureau local commit
teemen having work with squirrel
poisoning have been called to meet
at the Farm Bureau otlice, Dallas,
this Saturday the lllh, a ll :30.
According to C. C. Gardner County
Chairman for rodent control, the
committee will devise means for
caring for vacant and limlier lands,
niul for securing the cooperation of
non residents and the railroads. It
is hoped also to come to an u ndcr-
Blanding with the County Court rel
ative to a strict enforcement of the
rodent control law. The committee'
invited suggestions from all those
interested in that work.

into the lubricating oil in the crank
case. All this dirt circulates with
the oil through the engine. If it isn'
drained out regularly there's bound
to be excessive wear and tear.
Gasoline also escapes past the
pistons and dilutes the oil.
Modern Crankcase Cleaning Ser
vice gets rid of the dirty, diluted oil,
J
flushes the crankcase thoroughly
and refills with clean, fresh oil.
The garages listed below are now
equipped to perform this needed

In an interesting football game
Thursday afternoon between the
N'tiior-rroshmen and Sophomore
Junior teams of M. II. S.. a brill.
iant play by the Sophomore-Junior
team in the last period changed
the game from a second defeat to
a tie. In the first half of tho Sen.
ior-Freshmon team scored a touch
down and the score remained tj to 0
until the sophomore-Junior team
scored its touch down in the last
quarter, making the final score a G
to (i tie. Both teams were sure of
victory and went into the ennie in
higli spirit determined to win.
An expert typewriter reiiairer of
Portland was employed several duvs
Inst week fixing up the high school
typewriters and thev are now in
much better condition than hereto-
lore.
The typewriting class, under the
irection of Mr. Bidirood. is mak-
ing rapid headway. At the first of
the year it was thought that there
was no teacher who was eiiimhle of
teaching the subject, but Professor
n. must have been koemnir his
i ght under a bushel for he has
turned out to be one of the best
teach ?rs in this subject that Mon
mouth High has ever had.
Monmouth High School has deci
ded to enter the debating league
of this district and plans to put two
teams in the field are being worked
out. We have the material for some
excellent debates if it can only be
brought out. It is planned to have
a number of class debates first In
discover jut how much material we
have and what kind it is. We hope
at least to win the district cham
pionship. Monmouth High School will be
reprtsented at the Western Oregon

be secured and that we may have
outside games again.

THE TREK
by Mary Cole
The bare white birch like a bather
bendR over the river
As still as a dream.
Not a twig of the tree in air is astir,
not a quiver,
O'er ripples the stream.
The roots of the tree in the air ai.d
the tree in the water
Are met, and entwine.
One stem is a scion of the earth and
one is the daughter
Of the stillness divine.
Yet when the dusk falls or ever a
wmton wind bloweth
One sii'hs and is gone.
And which was the tree and which
was the image none knoweth,
For both were as one.
By Marion Merrill
I'd like to be a pirate bold,
And cross the raging sea;
And hunt for buried chest of gold
Beneath some aged tree.
I'd like to scuttle all the ships
That sailed acress mv oath..
I'd hold a cutlass 'tween my lips,
And all would fear my wrath.
I'd hoist a black sail in the 1 ow
With skull and cross bones near,
That every one who passed would
vow
I was a man to fear,

How a Modest Gift May
Become a Great One
Possibly this year you may be disposed to think seriously and con
structively of your Christmas giving.
There is more than one way in which you caiunake gifts carrying
with them values fur beyond their Intrinsic worth-values real, tan
gible and'substantial as well as values in education and character
building.
Suppose, for example, you presented some one you cherish with'an
income-pitying investment! n the Mountain States Power Company.
N t only do you give a substantial present-one that does not depre
ciate or wear out- but also an income, regularly paid so many times
a year, regardless of the owner's health, capacity for work or gener
al circumtstances.
This investment-gift may be the first practical lesson the recipient
has ever had in financial subjects - tho use of money and its earning
power-the produetivenoss'of thrift the necessity of Investment
toward the progess and welfare of all an inspiration leading to self
control and education in thejiandling of funds.
If our suggestion appeals to you we are sure you will Jllnd a call
at our ollice decidedly intreesting and profitable.
