HIGH SCHOOL VOTED OUT AT TYGH VALLEY Voters Killed Proposition at Election Hold Saturday! Grade School Later aa Tygh Valley voters killed the High school at that place at an elec tion held there last Saturday. Next year will tee only, a grade school at that place, the pupils now in the four higher classes having to seek me other place in which to com plete their High school course. We fail to see the wisdom of the action of the voters. Tygh Valley has always been known as a good school center; ha graduates have made good wherever they went; they had received the best instruction, with the exception of a very few cases, and a number were aet to complete their studies at Tygh Val ley. This move will have the effect of acattering there pupil to o.ther towns and other schools. It will be expensive to the parents of such pu pils and will result in a loss to tho school fund., of Tygh Valley. We are sorry to fearn of the action of Tygh Valley voters but will re tain the knowledge that experience is a dear teacher and also that the patrons of the school at Tygh will sooner or later realize their error and make up for it.

FulUereon, After Observing Fashion,' Writes of Thorn When a girl goes out shopping This is what she gets; A lip stick and new silk dre. a A little shorter yet A pair of horn rimmed slippers To wear upon her feet, And a pair of fine silk stocking So dress and them will meet. She will look around a little while And hit the floor ker-flop, Then put on her fine silk hose And roll them, at the top. She will stand before the mirror And powder face and no e, Then go walking up the street Steeping on her toes, With a tmile on her face Aa long as a rope, With a mouth full of chewing gum As big as a bar of soap. R. C. Fulkerson. v CHURCH GOING IS A HABIT Tho Practice Work, For Good and . Should be Followed Going to church is a habit, one , that always works for the good of ! those who have formed it Nothing 'but good is heard at church, besides new slants, on the promises of the Almighty are obtained. Those who go to church regularly are alwayu reeogniied as the community's best people and are looked up to. A church has ft civilizing influence on a community and where no churches exist things usually hang . on the ragged edge of lawlessness. In order to influence people to acquire . the church going habit and to inculcate chrt tian ideas in the young Sabbath schools are maintain ed. Pnstors render interesting ser mons and an air of close companion ship is engendered. The church pro gram for next Sunday openswith Sabbath school at 10:00 o'clock, preaching at 11:30; Bible itudy at 6:30 and evening service . at l'OO. Wapinitia Sunday program is the same as that of Maupin, except there will be no preaching. The Christian Endeavor meets there at 6:30. Remember that going to church is a good habit; staying away is also a habit but a bad habit. Choose the good and go to church.

Please Pay Up There are times when even tha newspaper publishers need a . little coin, and this is one of those time i with us. We have been lenient with many of our subscribers who are in. j arrears for their pnper but patienca has ceased to be a virtue as our need for ready cash is more pressing at this time than at any time since we came to Maupin., Those who owe on their paper are aware of the fact and we ask them to pay atten tion to the statement each will get next week. One subscriber does not amount to a great deal but when there are many such the aggregate makes quite a sum. Thi . is meant t0 be a courteous request and we trust all who read it and know of their arrearage will promptly remit tha sura called, for in their statement. 'I miJhJl'- '- Senator Cha. Hall
