Mrs. DeVoe will take her car and it la hoped inter, ted patrons will furnish the use of another car to the party of ten. The trip would bring the Maupin students in contact with life at college and help' them to under stand something of the advantages of higher study. O. S. C. annually puts on the track meet with that end in view. County Superentendent, Brum baugh gave an interesting talk be tween scenes in the play. He con gratulated the Seniors on their ef forts and the fine audience for their undivided spirit of cooperation. There was one thing to mar suc cess of this commuunity affair and that was the disturbance to the au dience caused by several unwelcome guests who were intoxicated.

Everyone is studying assiduously, tince the final examinations are to be given soon. Those who are on the honor roll will not have to take the final tests. Songs chosen for commencement have been practised. These songs were selected by the High school and everyone will participate in the singing of them, by Mr, Chalmers. The backstop and all obstructions were moved in preparation of the feld. As roon as the school grounds are ready Mr. Shattuck will bring his Farmall tractor and plow the field. The Farmall will be used because it is made especially for that kind of work., - Many of the patrons of the school have offered their help and their cooperation, which is greatly appre ciated.

In! Pace- s were found inbeaucd in the flumes and at other places cat tails and willows so obstructed the flow that it was diverted to rock wastes and coulics. ' The cut across McCubbins Gulch has been deepened and banked up so it will now hold water. In some I places it was fund necessary to deepen the cut as much as two feet and In others from a fcot to 18 Inches. By lowering that ditch it was made possible for water to be conducted to the Flat. Before that who done water had difficulty in free flowing, as it is impossible for water to run up hill. A force of men representing the Mt Hood Land & Water company has arrived at Pine Grove, they com ing with the announced intention of going ahead with ditch improve ment It is said that the gate at the mouth of Clear Creek will be closed. If that is done it indicates the company has at last rustled the bond required by the government. That bond was to secure the forest service against loss of timber by in undation caused by rating the water of the lake. HIGH SCHOOL PLAY LIBERALLY PATRONIZED Legioa Hall Packed to the Doors; . Character, Well Portrayed in Comedy Drama ' Well, the agony is over, the High school Seme- play has been produc ed and went over with a bang. Le gion hall was packed to the doors with an appreciative oudience, each of whom highly commended all thoce responsible for an evening's unadul- j terated enjoyment. The play, "Merton of tho Movies" lb above the usual run of play chosen by schools. It carried a theme of personal ambition on the part of the lead, whose conception of what a moving picture should be was rather strained, and his conviction of the proprieties of the picture in which he starred, a comedy, brought forth a vein 0f comedy that gave zest to the whole production. We would like to make individual mention of each taking part in the play, but by so doing we might cause some to feel slighted, so will say that "Merton of the Movies" was all that had been said of it. Each mem ber of the cast showed careful train ing, had his lines perfectly and ex hibited a degree of histrionic talent seldom shown by school amateurs. Mrs. DeVoe is dererving of much credit for the work she did in getting the play ready for presentation. The boys and girls who constructed the stage settings are to be congratulat ed on their efforts, and those mer chants who so willingly loaned pro perities for the play showed a desire to help make the play a success.- During the intermissions the Misses Mabel Weberg and Nova Hedln. discoursed pleasing numbers on the piano. That part of the pro- fgram proved to be entertaining and greatly assisted in making the en tertainment the success it achieved. All Teachers Returning All those teachers who are mem bers of the educational corps of the Maupin schools the past year, have been reengaged and will return for another year. We say all with the exception of Mrs. Carr, who refused to sign a contract for the reason that she is tired of the separation from her husband, who is employed at Portland, and desires to be with him hereafter. CARD OF THANKS We, the relatives of the late Catherine Morris, wish to thank the many friends for the respect paid by them at her bier, for the beauti ful floral offerings, and for the kind help and sympathy offered to comfort ug in our hour of grief.

Some of us high-hat )T the odorous onion, others snub the simple spinach, while still others f-? inferior in the company of the aristocratic artichoke. But whether we aspire to artichokes or cotton to cabbages, everyone setras to like the personality of peas. )- Peas and their Pals 1 Incidentally peas are very good mixers, and in case you have been serving them in a solo dish, try these new orchestrations: Peas uitk Fresh Tomatoes'. Cut three or four firm tomatoes in sec tions and saute gently in three table spoons butter until soft. Season well, add contents of a medium-size can of peas. Heat and serve. Va and Walnut Roast: Mix lightly together one and one-half CONCRETE POURED IN LAST FORMS Of RESERVOIR Bailder Tom Balrd Doe( Fin Work in Building Oar Water Tank Foreman Tom Baird announced the completion of Maupin' new reservoir Tuesday evening, the last of the concrete having been poured that day. Work of relaying the pipe lines from the rams will be be gun immediately and hustled along, it not being the intention of depriv ing citizens of water any longer than absolutely necessary. Since work begun on the reservoir reme time in March, it has byen done as fast at possible. We a, icr at times was responsible for delays, while the non-arrival of gravel was the source of tome time lost Not- l withstanding those handicaps Mt. ! Bair kept at work and completed the big tank in record time, The reser voir will hold 350,000 gallons f water and this will be augmented by the capacity of the old reservoir. -Mr. Baird installed measuriruj weirs in the new tank and now it b possible to learn just exactly how ! much water is being pumped thereto, A fence will be constructed around the new work, this being done to keep out contamination resulting from grazing stock. The work of relaying the pipe lines will not take long, it being figured that it will be completed in less than a week after beginning.
