Th high school tuitionl fund in the bud fret that the limitation had been ex ceeded, it was up to County School Superintendent Wills to make the refund, and brought mandamus pro ceedings in circuit court for that pur Ixjse. Tho hearing was hold last Friday before Judge Belt, the county being represented by District Attorney Helgerson and Oscar Haycer, and Supt. Wills by Attorney Walter Tooze, Jr., of MMcinnville. Judge Belt ruled that the high school tuition fund is a mandatory levy and that the refund would have to be made from some fund which the statutes do not make mandatory and that this would have to be the genera! fund of Polk county. The high school tuition fund is a levy made only in those parts of Polk county where there is no high school district. Social Jiff airs The next regular meeting of the rarent-Teacher association will be held Tuesday, November 1 at 3:30 p. m. at the training school. The books will be open for membership with the dues at 25c per annum, and it is hoped that friends of the school will add their names to the rolls. There is strength in numbers and even tho' you may not be able to attend each meeting, your name on the roll wiU add strength to the association, and enable it to do the more for the school and children. iwn AT " mo . l uvuat; va. tuicj t wns due to the inclusion of tho 'will he a short talk by the county librarian, Miss Frank Hout, te'li'-'g of the best books for children an-ci how they may wiihout expense be put within reach of the young. Miss Hout has given the subject of books much careful study and her talk promises to be interesting. A pleasant social function was a bridge party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. II. Pengra last Friday eve ning. The rooms were lavishly decorated with quantities of bril liant red dahlias, the gift of Mrs. Mix. The honors were carried off by Mrs. G. G. Walker, who was elated over the fact tht she, com paratively new at the game scored higher than the more experienced ,players. Guests for the evening were Messrs. arjd Mesdames Dickinson, Claire Irvine, Claude Skinner, G. G. Walker and Mrs. Booth and Mr. and Mrs. Joslin of Dallas. Mrs. Asa B. Robinson was hostess for a 1 o'clock luncheon Wednesday, at which 12 ladies, members of the Dallas Bridge Club were the guests. The living rooms were bright with JJUNCKEL MAKING NOTABLE SUCCESS WITH LAUNDRY While water is a very necessary ingredient in the successful operation of a laundry, the heavy do!uge of rain during the past four days was .dahlias, while in the dining room the Charles in not welcomed by E. A. Dunckel and his force of workers at the Idnepend ence laundry. It was their "at home" period to their friends and the patron's of the institution, but rain prevented many from attending who would otherwise have been present. The laundry was all "dolled up," outside and inside, but strange as it may seem this dolling process has become such a fixed habit at the In dependence institution that to be oth erwise would become conspicuous. The place is not only attractively clean and sanitary, but it is equipped with the very latest maehinery for handling laundry in the modern, ap- nroved way. Mr. Dunckel has been lavish in the expenditure of his money for equipment and in provid ing a suitable home for it. There is just as much difference be tween, the washtub of a few decades ago and a modern laundry plant as there is between the oxcart and the high priced automobile. And while this machinery is a big labor saver the greater aim has been to devise devices which will furnish quality work and without being destructive. This is accomplished only through tho use of steam in one ma chine, compressed air in another, tras not gasoline in another, aird so on down the line. Those who neglected to visit the laundry this week missed a chance of Mining some very useful know ledge and of being brought to a real- lization that inoepeimeiK-e hallowe'eel decorations were in evi dence. Adorning the center of the long table was a pumpkin coach drawn by four black cats with arched backs and bushy tails and 'driven by a smiling faced witch with peaked cap and long flowing cape. Jack o'lantern hung everywhere, while witches and black cats glowered at the guests from all sides, the whole being presided over by a giant ghost, who kept a silent watch over the festivities from the side of the room. The afternoon was passed with bridge, the guests re turning to Dallas on the evening train. Mr. and MJrs. C. W. Henkle enter tained the Autowins at their home Thursday evening. The rooms were made gay with flowers and hallowe'en decorations". After a time passed with cards the guests adjourned to the "darte hall" in the basement, where a pleasant hour was passed demonstrat ing the latest dance steps. Mrs. Henkle, assisted by Mrs. Robinson, served an appetizing lunch during the everfing. In addition to the members of the club the invited guests were: Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Walker, Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Irvine, Mr. and Mrs. Perle Hedges, Mr. and Mrs. E. C Bradner, Mr. and Mrs. Z. C. Kimball, A. L. Keemcy, M. H. Pengra, Ross Nelson, Mrs. Layton Smith.

The training school soup kitchen opens the first day in November and will be continued until the first of March. This enterprise was begun in a Ismail way 6 years ago w, a vacant school room and was patron ized by about 40 pupils. It has has grown in proportions until today it occupies a large, pleasant room in the basement, built expressly for the purpose, seating 90 pupils and having an average attendance of 110. The tables, benches, wood work etc., are all in white, making the room doubly pleasant on a stormy day. The pupils take pride in keeping the woodwork spotless, each one feeling that he has a personal interest in the room and its furniiure. The price of soup will be the same as before, 2c, and no child will be denied the privilege of dining here, even tho' he may be, for the time being, financially embarrassed. The actual cost of the soup since the rise in the price of food stuffs, is between 4 and 5c, but thanks to the gene rosity of interested friends the price of the soup raised. ticket has never been With surroundings of a hallowe'en nature, witches, Jack o'lanternB, corn stalks and quantities of black and yellow streamers, a number o f jolly young people passed a happy afternoon at the Wiley Grant home last Sunday afternoon, celebrating the 10th birthday of Curtis Grant and the 14th birthday of Roy Pod vent. With Auntie Ingram as chaperone and Daddy Hedges as honor guest, the party was a decided success. There was music a plenty and it is just whispered that Daddy Hedges added to the pleasure of .the occasion by rertdering a vocal solo, with Truja Grant as accompanist. There were games arid hallowe'en pranks and last, but by no means least, ice cream with lemonade and candy as side dishes. Guests who ernoyed the hospitality of the Grant home were Roy Podvent, Clark De Forest, Fred erick Hewett, Melvin Staats, Vernon Haley, Billy Sorenson," Pual Burch, Billy Huggins and Lesile White. The reception tendered to the high school and training school teachers by the Civic club in the Methodist church Tuesday evening, was an en joyable social function. The church and church parlors were attractively decorated, the color scheme being red and green. A formal welcome to the honor guests was extended by B. F. Swope in his happiest vein, which was gra ciously responded to by Miss Straw of the high school corps. There were pleasing solos by Miss Gretchen Kreamer with Miss Madeline Kreamer as pianist. Guessing games furnished delightful entertainment and refresh ments were served. ROAD WORK IS STOPPED BYTRENT Contractor Trent has suspended operations upon his road grading contract south of Monmouth. Wet weather made it impossible to ' ac complish much, and Tuesday Mx. Trent decided to wait until spring to finish the job. The steam shovel, which has been used on the Helmick cut, will be loaded on a flat car and shipped to Portland. It was used by Mr. Trent under leases, with a stipulated charge of $25 per diem whether in commission or net. Had favorable weather continued for an. additional 10 days or two weeks, the cut would have been completed. From the Helmick place to Steele's the road will be impassable until next summer. From Helmick's to Monmouth the road will be passable. The newly worked parts of the road in most places have been covered with crushed rock. Mr. Trent still has considerable work to complete his contract. The grading of the road around the cemetery is only partially done; there is a bridge to be built near the Steele place ;there is still some filling necessary just south of the Luckiamute, and then there is the grading of the road out of Monmouth.

Should a man issue invitations to a number of his friends for a "rip nine' eood time," said friends would know just what to expect, and they'd get it, but when several ladies received such an invitation from Mrs. Watkins they were some what puzzled and just a bit 'shocked, until one of the number , suggested that each lady take some garment to be ripped thus furnishing the' "ripping" and the good time would be forthcoming, with a number of congenial friends together. This suggestion was acted uporu and the snip, snip of many pairs of scissors found a pleasant accompaniment to evening, 000,000 plant of the Studebaker corporation at South Bend, Indiana, where only this one model of the Studebaker is being manufactured.
