The beginner's class consisted of Jean Caton, Bernlce Hollls, Carson Crabtree, Lee Bothwcll, Leo Cun ningham, Ernie Confer, and Leslie Troutman.

' The work consisted of spelling ex ercise! on both baas and treble staves, which greatly facilitate eight read ing; note values were introduced by board work or games that held the child interest; pasteboard keyboards were used to aid the child In quick location of keys after -glimpsing the litaff : colored discs were used in rapid chord building in the different keys, also in locating the various keys on the keyboards; flash cards brot the key signatures to each pu pil's attention. Special attention was given to ear training. Table technic brought the hands into pro per position for good playing and re laxation exercises wen also given for the same purpose. I Each pupil was required to play a solo and the other pupils of the clans accompanied the soloist with rhythm Instrument, This exercise is especially valuable to the student who desires the correct rhythm and time. A man drawn on the board, made up the musical signs and added to the amusement of the crowd. Each pupil has private lessons to teach him to apply to the piano everything learned in class. The demonstration was a revela tion to many of ' those present, as but few had knowledge of the sys tem uaed in teaching mu&lc Mrs. Bothwell showed she was most care ful and painstaking in her instruc tion and those at the demonstration were prolific in praise of her work.

Ws particularly call ths attention of some of our de linquents to the clipping, which Is taken from The Publishers Auxiliary, a periodical published .in the interests of and for those who are playing the newspaper game. The story follows: Subscribers Liability Any person-who takes a paper regularly from the postoffice, whether directed to his name or another, or whether he has sub scribed for it or not, is responsi ble for ths pay. If a person orders his paper discontinued, ha must pay all ar rearages or the publisher may continue to send it until payment; is made, and collect the whole amount, whether it is taken from tha office or not Tho courts have decided that refusing to take newspapers or periodicals from the post office, or removing and leaving them un called for, is prima facie evi dence of Intentional fraud.

Two Maupin Institutions are Among Best in the State , TWO INSTITUTIONS THAT WOULD BE CREDIT TO TOWNS MANY TIMES THE SIZE OF MAUPIN BOTH GROWING WITH TIME MAUPIN STATE BANK SOLID ;.'. A bank is one of the outstanding featurea of any town, and the more substantial men connected therewith the mors tolid is ths institution. A prosperous bank is an index to the fact that the town likewise enjoys prosperity, while a bank with a lot of frozen assets indicates the town is on the ragged edge. ' The Maupin Stats Bank is one of the "solid financial institutions of southern Wasco county. Built upon a foundation that gives no indication of weaknc:s it has today s patronage that is the envy of many similar in stitutions in this part of Oregon. This bank was organized by J. M. Conklin In June 1914. Mr. Conklin had as fellow stockholders J. S. Brown and wife, L. C. Henneghan, F. S. Fleming, D. M. Shattuck, Mrs. J. M. Conkin, Peter Kilberg, F. D. Stuart and F. S. Senn, the latter an attorney of Portland. 4 The capital stock was named as f 15,000, and this was increased to $20,000 in Febru ary 1919, and again increased, this time to $25,000, in the spring of 1921. The first officers of the bank were J. M. Conklin, president; F. D. Stuart, cashier, J. S. Brown, vice president. It directors were,' J. M. Conklin, J. S. Brown, F. S. Fleming, F. D. Stuart and D. M. Shattuck. From the beginning the Maupin State Bank was recognized as being one of the leading institutions in Maupin. Its patronage increased from the first and that increase has been continued up to the present time, the recent quarterly statement indicating the best business enjoyed by it in its life, with the exception of one year during the war. In the cpring of 1926 Mr. Conklin withdrew from the active work as president of the bank. He disposed of most of his stock therein, it be ing taken over by local men, Dr. L S. Stovall and W. E. Hunt. Since that time the first ; president has been devoting his attention to other DR. L. S. STOVALL, DRUGGIST PURE DRUGS ONLY USED IN FILLING PRESCRIPTIONS AT THE MAUPIN DRUG STORE DR. LAWRENCEtS. STOVALL VALUED CITIZEN 0 When a person is ill he usually consults a doctor. The doctor makes a diagnosis of his case, writes a pre scription and advises that it be filled at a responsible drug store. Maupin is to be congratulated because of the existence of such a drug store, the proprietor of whieh, Dr. Lawrence S. Stovall, handles none but pure drugs, and in filling prescriptions uses scrupulous care." Dr. Stovall came to Maupin in the fall of 1915. When he came out this way in that year he purchased the drug stock of G. R. Burtner at Tygh Valley, but was advised-, to come to Maupin, it being a better location and the town having better prospects of becoming a solid busi ness place. He followed the advice of Dr. Francis, then practicing medi cine here, and having rented space in the Shattuck store, moved the Burtner stock to Maupin. His busi ness grew by leaps and bounds and Dr. Stovall soon found himself need ing more room. In 1918 he ( began the erection of his present store building, and since, that time has en joyed a business much larger than he anticipated when he came here. From a stock inventorying $1,600 when he opened in Maupin, he now carries goods to the value of $6,500. His line consists of all things 'usually carried by all first class drug stores. His line of drugs and proprietary medicines are as pure as he ia able to get them,- and his prescription trade is made up of people who know NEWSPAPER WOMAN AT TYGH Co-Publisher of Freewater Timet Calls On Rebekah Lodges Mrs. E.

Before coming to Maupin Mr. Stuart was wheat buyer for the well known firm mentioned above at Colfax, Washington. He has a fine resi dence in Maupin and both he and his wife are prominent in fraternal and social affairs of Maupin and both enjoy the friendship of all our peo ple. J ' '" ' George McDonald A write up of the Maupin State Bank would not be complete without mention of George McDonald, assis tant cashier of that institution. Mr. McDonald acquired his knowledge of banking in the U. S. National bank of Portland. He was with that bank a matter of seven and one-half years, resigning to come to Maupin. At the Portland bank he was employed in the statement department, and in such a position was in line for pro motion when he left and came - to Maupin. His work in the local bank consists of taking care of all checks, deposits, 'etc., as well as -assisting: at the cashiers window in the absence of Mr. Stuart Mr. McDonald is a notary public, having recently re ceived a reappointment as such from the state. He is married to a daugh ter of a pioneer, O. B. Derthick, and with his wife occupies a neat cot tage. He also is clocely identified with the interests, of the town, and is a valued member of the local Odd Fellows lodge,' that when Dr. Stovall compounds a recipe it is done with care and with the best drugs to be had. Besides doing a drug business Dr. Stovall also practices veterinary medicine. He is a 'graduate of the Corvallis public Ahool,0.A. C., and also of the Ontario, Canada, Veter inary college. He serves as ctock in spector for this district and when he passes on stock his word is taken J that it is 0. K. .

"Rdrco Ficm ' by Freshman Class Poise and Confidence of Cast at Nearly Perfect aa Could Be Audience Well Pleated A capacity houre greeted the pro duction of the Frahman play "Promoting Romeo" at the High school auditorium last Friday even ing. Many had gone prepared to see amateurish effort, but went away filled with amazement at the nearly perfect rendition of the comedy. We would like to mention each individual member of the cast, as each was particularly good in his or her part, but lack of space com pells us to "boil down" criticism, so will dwell only upon the "high light," of the cast. Misses Novs Hedin and Lelah Weberg shown brilliantly in iheir re spective parts, the former having a little the beat of it That little lady's poke, voice and extreme confidence elicited unbound praise of all who were at the play. Miss Weberg, while not in ss good voice as Mi s Hedin, carried her part without a tremor and her stage presence added gree- ly to her lines. Miss Edna Ward, aa the mother, was all the part exacted. Rx Stuart as the bridled son, handled his lines in a pleasing manner, al though with a certain stiffness which Another appearance will eliminate Bessie Starr, who esdayed the part of a colored manicurist, was a comedy feature. (For shame, Besue, we saw you purloin a stack of bills and place them in your conception of a great ladies bank of America. But you did it so artlesily that all who saw the same as we did ore wi'ling to for give yon.) . , . . Miss Alice Davis a3 the flapper sister of the juvenile male lead, set an example that will well be forgot ten by the girls who saw her per form. Shell get over it in time Verla Lewis took the part of a Swed ish servant in fine style, although her dialect was somewhat off tune. Ethel Kidder wanted it undrstood she was not willing that her son, Arthur Appling, as "Romeo Badger," should become enmeshed in the toils of the "yaller gal, Rosalie," Bessie Starr, and was rather forceful in de manding the whereabouts of her son and heir. Eldon Allen had all the austerity and firmness of the staid business man and recited his lines in a most acceptable manner. Ivan Donaldson seems tohave decided on his life's vocation, for, as a police man, he showed that he knew how to wield a wicked billy, and per formed the duties of an officer with a gusto that savored of the real ar ticle. Miss Marjorie Tillotson, who coached the young thespian: in their roles, ,is deserving of great commen dation for her work. To take a green cast and make it over into a set of actors who rendered their parta with confidence and stage presence is no light task, but Miss Tillokon over came all obstacles and covered her self with laurels in her direction. We have attended several school plays since our residence in Maupin, and we are frank when we Bay we believe the production of "Promot ing Romeo" was put on in a better manner than any of those preceding it since our say here. ' We do not mean to detract from the merit of the other plays, for they were all goo , and each deserved whatever praise was given it. MAUPIN MEMBERS JOIN WITH TYGH VALLEY REBEKAHS Degree Work Exemplified and Fine Feed Enjoyed Attembly Presi dent, Mrs. Sanderson, Present About 40 members of the local Odd Fellows and Rebekah lodges went to Tygh Valley Tuesday even ing and joined with the Rebehaks of that place in a meeting.
