County School News
The annual Teacheis' Institute
will be helfl at the High School
building in Hillsboro beginning
October 31, at 1:00 p. m. and
closing at 4:00 p. m. Friday even­
ing, November 2.
All teachers are required to at­
tend the full time.« All the schools
of the county are to be closed for
those three days.
The United States Food Ad-
ministration Fledge Card Cam­
paign is tn*ing carried on through
the schools of Oregon during I hi z
week. The message has gone out
from Washington asking all loyal
citizens tq make certain changes
in their manner of providing for
their families so that food can be
supplied to our armies and those
of our allies without any great
hardship to any of us This is a
splendid opportunity to teach
patriotism to our children. They
are to he th** bearers of this mes­
sage into their homes. If they
meet with cordial support they
will be proud to have had a part
in this great struggle for liberty
and ju>tice for all men; the fire of
loyalty and patriotism will be
kindled within their breasts. If
they meet with coldness, indilier
ence or opposition, the injury to
them will be beyond repaid
I want to make a special ap(x>al
to every loyal citizen of Washing­
ton county to make it a point to
find some way to help the teach­
ers and the children to make a
;
success of this campaign.

one of her horses fell. II iving two
small children with bt>r. the lady

out the children. The horse re­
gained his feet and the frightened
animals ran to the S. P. depot,
where they collided with a lamp
