people directly. He indicated
the dangers of the latter, and
urged his hearers to seriously
study the problem of good gov­
ernment. Unfortunately, there
was much commotion while he
was speaking which made it hard
for him and his hearers who were
not close to the stand.
This concluded the formal fea­
tures of the day, the remainder
of which was given up to general
amusement, a jitney dance being
held in the pavilion, and all the
stands and restaurants did a
rushing business. A ball game
was played on the school dia­
mond between Taggersville and
Estacada, the home »line winning
by a score of 17 to 3 in its favor.
A number of races and sports
under the direction of Fred Bar­
tholomew were pulled oil’ in «.he
Bark, and nine prizes awarded.
The day’s program was fittingly
concluded by a show at the Fam­
ily Theater and an all night dance
under the auspices of the Ameri­
can Legion.
Those who were responsible for
the arrangements can feel that
their efforts were well repaid as
everyone seemed to have a good
time, and it served what it was
intended to do, %namely, promote
community feeling and getting
together.
Conserve the Water
As (he dry season has now set
in and it is not likely that rain to
any extent, will fall for some
weeks, the water supply will be
severely taxed. A suffieent sup­
ply must be kept on hand in case
of fire. The city council is to be
commended for its action limiting
the hours for irrigation, and w*e
hope the order will be strictly
enforced without fear or favor.

ively read by Chester Womer.
