The judges were Rev. Eichenearb,
Prof. Goodrich, both of Portland,
and Mrs. Sexton of Hood River.
The first prize in piano contest
was awarded to Miss Helen Lin
quist, who showed fine technique,
fine position and her playing was
beautifulyy executed.
Kcnnard Sexton, who won the sec
ond prize,' rendered his selection in
a masterly manner and with the skill
would have considered able these ar
and poise. A real music critic would
have considered his position faulty
and bad.
Miss Frances Shogren of Mosier
won third prize at the piano and tho
she did her part wonderfully well,
she had a close competitor in our
own representative from Maupin,
Miss Helen Weberg, who caused
many favorable comments In the au
dience during: her performance at
the piano. She showed , composure,
skill and a fine technique.

Concrete brooder-house yards are
used in Oregon to overcome soil con
tamination.
Thin shelled eggs do not hatch well
and do not stand 'shipping. Much
can be done by using only heavy
shelled eggs for hatching.
Shell is always, kept before the
fowls to enable them to produce
good-shelled eggs.
Overfat hens have a tendency to
lay soft shelled eggs, says the ex
periment station.
Eggs saved for hatching are kept
in a cool place of about 50 F. They
are not saved longer than 10 to 14
days.
The profit producing period of
the laying hen is usually two years.
Hens are sold at the end of their
second laying season, .before moult

Class Gradual
The graduating exercises for the
Class of 1927 of the Tygh Valley
High school were held in tho L O. O.
hall Friday evening, May 13. The
members of the class were Clair
Korval, Rachael LuCore and Henry
McGreer. . ,. .
The address to the class was given
by Rev. Bruce J. Ciffin, pastor at the
University of Oregon. . Owing to
the unavoidable absence of chair
man of the school board the diplo
mas were presented by Prineipal
Clyde T. Bonney. "
An unique feature of the evening
was the presentation of track, base
blal and basket ball' letters. Thirty
letters were given. To th two boy
graduates the baseball suits which
they have worn during the season
just closed were given them as a re
minder of the jolly times on the
baseball field. To Kenneth Webb,
who was next to the highest point
man in the county track meet, was
given the shoes and track suit which
he wore, as he covered himself with
honors on the third Saturday of last
April. It is confidently phophefied
that the suit will be in evidence on
the third Saturday of April, 1928.
Everyone voted the school year
just closed a grand success. Tygh
will accomplish greater things an
other year.
"Tygh Down Wapinitia.
Since Maupin would not permit
the Tygh ,and Shanikc-Antelope
baseball teams to play off a tie on
neutral grounds, the Tygh boys went
to Wapinitia last Wednesday after
noon, May 11. and played the Wapi
nitia team. The score was 22 to 7
in favor of Tygh. This score would
seem to indisate that the Tygh boys
could have given the Maupin High
school team a run for their, money,
inasmcuh as Maupin had been able
to beat -Wapinitia the week before
by a score of only 8 to 7. The Tygh
boys were oManppointed that Maupin
did not see fit to include them in
their baseball schedule.

A good poultry house is located

Open-front houses are desirable
in western Oregn, where the winters
are not very cold.
Cement floors in poultry houses
are sanitary and easy to clean.
From 8 to' 10 nches of roosting
space is allowed to each fowl in Ore

height so that fowls do not crowd
