der the Act of March 3, 1 1879. 1
The Maupin boy who got his
skin f ul of moonshine liquor last
Saturday night and as a result
suffered with stomach ache,
made the right resolve when he
swore off on the stuff forever.
A few shots of some ot the stuff
sold under the guise of liquor
might have put him under a sod
covering instead of a blanket of
wool.
I J. C. Patt, who has been act
ling as school clerk of school dis
trict No. 84. has resigned his
position and the school board
has chosen George Tillotson
complete the term. Mr. Pratt'
mail carring job required mast
of his" attention, and . that being
his regular business, did not feel
justified in doing the school
work. Mr. Tillotson is especi
ally well qualified to serve
clerk and the patrons or our
schools will be pleased at his se
lection.
THE GREATEST LOVE
We see where Will Rogers, the
great "comedian, and former
ranch hand, returned to his old
home town in Oklahoma and was
greeted by thousands at the opera
house, where he made a speech.
In that speech he declared that
very city man has one anxiety
deeper than anything else and
that is as to his standing1
with the folks back in his old 1
home. Will Rogers is right.
Out in the world are many former
Maupin boys, now. grown to
manhood and surrounded with
worries. But nothing would
worry them more than to know
that their' old home town has
forgotten then. They may learn
to love their newer surroundings,
and they may become fond of
their newer acquaintances. But
deep down in their hearts the
greatest love and their greatest
admiration is for their home town
and the people they spent their
boyhood with.
Remember that Maupin will
hold a Christmas celebration as
a community with a. tree and all
thefixin's.' When the solicitor
comes to you.don't say your hand
is paralyzed, but dig down and
dig up as strong as you can. ' It's
all for the kiddies.
The recent celebration of the
75th anniversary' of the found
ing of the Portland Oregonian
was a feast, "not only of the good
things for the inner man, but a
feast of wholesome historical
fact as well3.
' Now that Christmas is ap
proaching let us remind all of
that old saw "Shop early."

Two Men and Their Credit
Two men walked into this bank the other day, both asking
for e substantial loan. One of them secured all that he re
. quired; to the other we could not and did not xt end credit.
The reason is this: The man who secured all that he re
quested had maintained a substantial balance in has check
ing account We know his ability and his financial stabil
ity. We know that our money with him will be safe.
Tho other man to whom we dared not extend credit, has an .
account, it's true, but the balance m his account,
ways low an doccasionally overdrawn a poor credit risk.
This is only one reason why it is valuable to maintain a
substantial balance in your checking account.

rence Harpham, as delegates to
represent them at the conference
of high school representatives
held at Eugene December 4th
and 5th, under the auspices of

In an address, "Conference Ob
jectives" Walter Malcom stated
that representative students and
officers from all over the state
