^ »*v *> • v ip G raphic No. 20 NEWBERG, YAMHILL COUNTY. OREGON. THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 16, 1922 VOL. XXXIII A VERY FINE BULL TO WHITNEY BOYS’CHORUS TROPHY PRESENTATION LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY WAS CEL­ FARM BUREAU MEETING CIVIC IMPROVEMENT SHIPPED THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA EBRATED ON LAST SATURDAY TV W H I GIVE CONCERT CLUB GIVE A DINNER HELDTO ORGANIZE TO BE MADE TUESDAY i The observance of Lincoln's birth­ day which was held last Saturday by the G. A. R. and W. R. C, was a complete success from the standpoint of dinner and program. It is a very regrettable fact that the attendance on the part of the townspeople was almost nil and we fear that It is a sad commentary on the mental atti­ tude of the public that they do not give more attention to affairs of this sort. . TTie dinner which was given by the ladies of the relief corps at the noon hour to the old soldiers was up to the usual standard set by these estimable ladles both as to quantity and quality. No one ever goes away from a relief corps dinner without a feeling of Qverindulgence .for it would be^ntpoBsible for human flesh to withstand the appeal of such de­ licious viands. The progrsfin in the Afternoon was in the hands of N. E. Britt while M>%. Frank Zumwalt had charge of the music. The program opened with the song "Star Spangled Banner,” then followed the invocation by Com­ rade Hayes. Lincoln’s Gettysburg address was read by Mrs. Emma Snow, following which Lincoln’s let­ ter to Mrs. Bixby of Boston was read. After this another song was given. Judge Harris of Salem delivered the address of the day. We wish that Newberg’s citizenry could have heard that able address. It was char­ acterized by one present as being the best he bad ever listened to. The address was everything that a good one should be. The G. A. R. have requested us to say that they wish to acknowledge their gratitude! to Judge Clarence Butt for his courtesies extended in different ways. 1 GOVERNOR TO MAKE‘ADDRESSES Afternoon Meeting W ill Be Held in the Friend« Church-— Banquet in the Evening - Next Tuesday will be a big day in Newberg for on this day the city will be host to Governor Olcott and a number of other very prominent peo­ ple from various points. It is the day on which the flag trophy will be presented to the Newberg fire de­ partment and to the public schools and plans are all completed to make it a big day and a real celebration. A formal program will be held at the Friends church at 2:30 p. m., at which time Mayor Calkins will make the address of welcome, while Gov-, ernor Olcott will present the flag to to the department and Chief Sher­ lock will accept the trophy. Jay W. Stevens, chief of the Are prevention bureau of the national board of fire underwriters will make the presenta­ tion speech to the schools, while Superintendent A. C. Stanbrough will accept this trophy. There will be a banquet at the le­ gion hall in the evening, but this will not be open to the public. The Are department wishes to explain to the public that it is impossible tp make this an open banquet because of lack of room and facilities. There are some forty Aremen and there will be quite a number of guests from out of town. In addition to this it is planned to Invite the heads of some of the local organizations and some of the city ofAcials, which will take practically every available seat. At the banquet Mayor Calkins will act as toastmaster. Music "will be furnished during the banquet By the Kienle orchestra and by a quartet. Addresses will be made at this time by Governor Olcott, Jay W. Stevens, A. C. Barber, state Are marshal. Bat-, talion Chief Grenfell of Portland, Chief Graham-of Corvallis, and B. F. Dowell, president of the Pacific coast file chiefs' association. The entertainment / committee which has been making arrange­ ments for this affair consists of V. Delbert Miller, E. L. Van Blaricom and O. O. Livengood. J. Sher­ lock. Jr.. Is chief of the local Are department. The city ofAcials have authorized us to say that they will be pleased to have every business house close on the afternoon of February 21st in keeping with the idea of celebrating this trophy victory. The city offi­ cials feel that this is no more than the fire boys are entitled to and hope that every person in Newberg will see fit to cooperate to this extent. BERMANS WILL GIVE MINSTREL AND VAUDEVILLE SHOW SOON While no positive date has as yet been set for the big minstrel aifd vaudeville entertainment which the Berrians are going to give in the very near future, it is practically certain that' it will be given some time between the first and tenth of March. The work of outlining the score for the minstrel show is well in hand and this promises to be a regl novelty entertainment. Large pro­ grams carrying advertising by the various merchants will be presented as souvenirs and these will be most unique and well worth keeping. Those who have agreed to take parts in this entertainment are urged to keep all practice dates In mind from this time on as attendance 1 b absolutely to be Insisted upon by the committee and all should feel the necessity for working hard to make the entertainment a complete success. A committee attended the Elks min­ strels in Portland on Wednesday night and got some very helpful sug­ gestions and some strictly new Ideas which will be worked in. Any persons who have something exceptionally good to offer should get In touch with either Dr. VanValin or C. E. Dawson immediately and give them an opportunity to give the various stunts their attention before the program is all lined up. This entertainment is to be given as a benefit to help pay for uniforms for the Berrlan band and everyone should be Interested in seeing this matter accomplished. BABBIE S OLD DBUO SHOP IH “ THE LITTLE MINISTER" ------------ o------------ GAVE VALENTINE PARTY A very pleasant and largely attend­ ed social function was held at the American Legion hall on Tuesday eveping, February 14, when an en­ tertainment committee from New­ berg Lodge No. 104, Ar. F. & A. M„ gave a Valentine party. It was strictly an Invitational affair and the entertainment for the evening was in the nature of a dance and card party. The fore part of the evening was a masked affair and many very unique costumes were in evidence. The com­ mittee are to be congratulated upon the very successful handling of this social event. It Is understood that various social functions will be given by this committee and that they will vary the style o f the amusements of­ fered. * DR. AND MRS. S. M. WENDT ENTERTAINED WITH PARTY Dr. and Mrs. S. M. Wendt enter­ tained a host of their friends at a Valentine party on Tuesday evening of this week at their-home on Fourth street. The color scheme of red and white, which Is so fitting for the o o casion, was carried out In the deco­ rations of flowers, etc. The evening was delightfully spent in the enjoy­ ment of recitaticyis, songs, music and games, for Dr. and Mrs. Wendt are able entertainers'and proved them­ selves to be excellent hosts. Those present were: Messrs, and Mesdames Jesse Edwards, Ralph Gray, Milo Elliott, L. S. Otis, Chamberlain, Levi T. Pennington. Archie Seely, W. W. Silver. C. A. Walker. Zeff Sears. V. D. Miller. N.

ENTERTAINED FOB GUEST Mr., and Mrs. Elza Hadley enter­ tained at their home about a mile northwest of town, in honor of Mrs. Emma Truchot of Portland, a cousin of Mrs. Hadley, last Wednesday. Progressive 500 provided the enter­ tainment for the evening, while ef­ forts to remove Miss Amy Harger and Mr. F. A. McOlvern from the head table proved the bone of con­ tention throughout the evening. Mr. McCullough and Miss Mina Langton were Anally successful in ousting the two players. A delightful luncheon was served to which all did ample justice. The guests all departed in the wee hours, hoping Mrs. Truchot would come again soon. REVIVAL MEETINGS The meetings at the Nazarene church are progressing nicely. There has been a number seeking and find­ ing the Lord and we expect many more. The evangelist Is preaching the truth without fear or favor. He has had wide experience, has been a pastor In New England for a num­ ber of years, has been president of Oklahoma College, and district sup­ erintendent of the Kansas district. Come and hear him. There will be services each night at 7:30. C. D. Norris. The apothecary shop where Sir James M.

LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS SOUGHT EXCELLENT PROGRAM RENDERED Local Officer« Were Elected— Other Costumed Youth Represent Seasons and Others Beautiful Song and Business Matters Were Discussed -C o lo n e l Aird Here Nature Representations Last Saturday a meeting of the farmers was held in the Newberg Commercial club rooms to perfect an organization to carry on the work of the Farmers’ club and the Farm Bu­ reau. As their work Is along similar lines, the two organizations would only duplicate the work. President W. H. Dean of the Farmers’ club called the meeting to order. After a general discussion, N, P. Nelson made a motion to proceed to the formation of a new organization that would be a merger of the Interest* of the Newberg Farmers’ club and the new Farm Bureau. After the adoption of this resolution. C. W. Bradshaw, president pro tern of the local Farm Bureau, took charge of the meeting. Mr. Bradshaw called upon Col. Will Alrd, secretary of the state Farm Bureau federation, to give an outline of the general plan of work as carried out in other counties. Col. Alrd said the best results were obtained through getting rather small local organization* so as to get close to the individual farmer. As an example of the practical working plan, Col. Alrd reviewed the 1922 program of work in the Benton county Farm Bureau. The work as outlined in this county ineluded pro­ jects under the general heads of or­ ganization, marketing, meetings, poultry, pest control, dairying, crops, soils, farm management and rural engineering, livestock, boys' and girls’ work, office work and public­ ity. A project manager was appoint­ ed for these several heads and the work carried out through the local units. Space does not permit to go into detail as explained by Col. Alrd on each subject, but as an example ■ the poultry project might be taken: 1. Four - poultry demonstration farms were conducted. - 2. Six farms to keep coát of pro­ duction records. 3. Hold eight culling demonstra­ tions. 4. Hold five feeding meetings. Get ten feeding demonstrators. 5. Hold five meetings to discuss incubation, brooding and housing. 6. Encourage farmers to purchase baby chicks from reliable breeders to secure good stock. 7. Aid poultrymen in marketing produce. , Each of the projects are worked ouf“ on this plan and carried out un­ der the supervision of the project manager. Col. Aird recommended, when the county organization is perfected and the time comes to hire a manager, that close attention be paid to the qualifications of the man selected, as upon his work depends to a large extent, the success or failure of the federation. A vote of thanks was extended to Col. Aird for his assistance in the forming of the new organization. Mr. Dean made a motion that a committee of five be appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws and nominate officers for the coming year. The following committee was named: N. P. Nelson, J. U. Smith, S. T. Blxler, C. K. Hubbard and H. N. Baker. A recess was declared while the committee arranged the constitution and by-laws and made nominations. The new name as rec­ ommended by the committee and adopted by those present is to be the "Newberg Farm Bureau Club.” Any bona fide farmer is eligible to active membership, while those who are not In this class may become associ­ ate members upon being voted in by the active members. The governing power of the new organization is to be the board of directors, composed of nine members, as follows: The four officers of the club, president, vice-president, sec­ retary-treasurer. and assistant secre­ tary-treasurer— also five directors, to be elected, one fom Newberg or with­ in two miles limit, and one from each geographical quarter of the outlying districts. These districts to have their local organization, represented by their director in the general unit. This plan was thought better than organizing in each school district, as some are too small to support an or­ ganization, but by combining two or three in some cases a good organiza­ tion could be formed. .The following officers were nom­ inated by the committee and unani­ mously elected: President. W. H. Dean; vice-president, C. W. BraA- shaw; secretary-treasurer, Charles K. Hubbard; assistant secretary- treasurer, Henry Amoth. The direc­ tors were not elected at this meeting but will be at a meeting to be held In the near future. It is hoped the organization can be entirely perfected in the very near future and projects outlined and leaders selected. The newly elected officers were instructed to arrange for a permanent meeting place, where the business of the cjub can be carried on. , It is to be hoped that the new club will prove as beneficial a proposition to Its members as the Fanners' club haa been. Aleo that It will work as wall and harmoniously with the Ber- ‘ rlans and Commercial club for (he betterment of Newberg and vicinity. — The dinner and entertainment giv­ en by the Civic Improvement club last Thursday evening was a splen­ did success. The large shaped table in the legion hall was filled twice and everyone voted the dinner the best ever. Following the dinner and prior to the evening program, John V Smith entertained the audi­ ence in an alcove off the main audi­ torium with some magical tricks in which he thoroughly demonstrated his ability to deceive the eye. Mr. Smith can play the hat trick, the shell game or the mysterious torn paper trick with equal deceptive abil­ ity. The formal program which occu­ pied the evening was a most credit­ able affair. Mrs. Dr. VanValin was the prime mover in arranging this program and she certainly deserves great credit for the successful enter­ tainment which was given. Mrs. E. E. Goff, president of the club, made ' the opening remarks, following which the program was given: Duet, Lucile and Leona Smith, dressed as Liberty girls, “ The Stars and Stripes Forever” (Sousa). Instrumental solo, by EUeen Aber­ nathy, dressed as a gipsy girl, “ Hun­ garian Raphsodie."' Readings, by Mrs. Charles Morris. Instrumental solo,.

Rees Post, American Legion, for their help and kindness in regard to the use of the hall. REQUESTS SUGGESTIONS OF TAXPAYERS ON OUR SCHOOLS Newberg, Or., Feb. 11 1922. Editor of Graphic: I believe it is time our shortage of public school facilities is brought to the attention o f the tax payers of District No. 29, so they may give the matter serious consideration be­ fore expressing themselves for or against a new building. There are now four grades in tem­ porary quarters which are not satis­ factory and with a continual increase in enrollment the situation will be­ come worse. The school board is anxious to have this problem set­ tled within the next three months. We would like the opinion of all tax­ payers on this subject, especially those who have children. The board is endeavoring to form­ ulate plans to submit to the tax­ payers at some future date. Mean­ time our friends should be giving this serious thought, and make whatever suggestions they have. Respectfully, W. H. Woodworth, Chairman of board of school dis­ trict No. 29. GRANDPA AND GRANDMA To some people the acquisition of the title of grandpa and grandma brings thoughts of age and wrinkles but not so In two Newberg homes where the titles come with all the pleasure of their first grandchild. It's Grandpa and Grandma Nelson and Grandpa and Grandma Paxson now. for Mr. and Mrs. Joe Nelson are the very proud parents of a daughter, Jacquelin. born Friday, February 10. Incidentally this is the first grandchild In either the Paxson or Nelson families and of course all are greatly pleased. Papa Joe works for the Union Oil company and is a very warm per­ sonal friend of Walter Bartlett, who happens to be employed by the Stand­ ard Oil company. Now Walter could not think of allowing the Union to get ahead of Standard and he too became a proud papa on Saturday. February 11. the new daughter be­ ing named Mary Alice. Mrs. Bart­ lett was formerly Miss Myrth McNsy. Both mothers are doing nicely and all of the families are receiving the hearty congratulations of their friends. Professor Graves of Washington, D. C.., who has scoured the northwest country in the interests of the agri­ cultural college at Lincoln, Nebras­ ka, purchased a splendid Jersey bull from Isaac Hunt of this place and the animal was shipped from New­ berg on the afternoon elactric, Tues­ day. Sultan Teltvo is the name of thi* flne pedigreed Jersey sire and he is every inch a king. Mr. Hunt purchased this animal from the Van Kleek herd at Beaverton, but it is understood that be originally came from the famous Ladd herd. The animal was shipped by express and some idea of his value may be ob­ tained from the fact that the ex­ press bill alone was $350. The shipping and handling of this big five year old was no small prob­ lem. He was crated at the Hunt place eaBt of town and brought to town by truck. The crate was five feet nine inches high and was of course of very heavy construction. The Sultan himself weighs 1500 pounds, and with the crate and all it was some task to handle him. The crate was well padded and Brusaells carpet was used on the floor. Cer­ tainly no one would think of asking a Sultan to stand on anything short of Brusaells. However, In this case" it just happened that this was the .most available material. The after­ noon electric was stopped at the Col­ lege street crossing and the auto truck was backed up to thè side door of the express car. Here with the aid of crow bars and many men Sul­ tan Telivo and his crate were finally loaded into the express car and al­ though the train was delayed some fifteen minutes by the transaction, what is a mere matter of fifteen min­ utes tQ a trainload of people when so prominent a being as a Sultan must entrain. One of the main reasons for the se­ lection of this animal is that he has three heifer calves In the Tillamook country which averaged over 600 pounds of butterfat at the first lacta­ tion. Mr. Hunt has a son of this splendid animal also. It is quite a distinction that a great state like Nebraska should send clear out to Oregon to get an animal like this. It is still greater distinc­ tion that- Newberg should be able to furnish this animal. Newberg is the Berrlan city. But evidently she will not alone be noted for berries. Dairy herds such as a fine sire like this one bespeaks, are a splendid as­ set to any community.. HIGH SCHOOL BAND ENTER­ TAINMENT FEBRUARY 22ND OFFERS MANY FINE FEATURES Boys W ill Sing and W ill Give Read* ings and W ill Be Assisted by Splendid Local Musicians One of the big events of the year will be the concert to be given by the Whitney boys chorus at the Friends church tomorrow (Friday) evening. Mr. Morris, the local director of the chorus informs us that about 400 tickets have already been Bold for this concert and it is expected that the house will be sold out. The prices have been set at a very moder­ ate figure so that all can attend. The admission is 30 cents for adults and 20c .for children. The boys have been selling the tickets around town but they may also be secured at the Morris Jewelry store or at the doorq that night. A practice was held last Tuesday evening and this proved to be moat satisfactory. Several of those present stated that it was worth the entire price of the admission to the concert just to hear the boys practice their songs without the special numbers. WTe will not attempt to give the com­ plete program here. The special numbers which will be given as add­ ed features by some of Newberg's best musical talent were enumerated last week. In addition to these and to the chorus numbers the boys will give some special numbers. Have you ever heard a real, live boy give a reading? Some of them are reg­ ular side-splitters. - The titles o f a few of them are: "Willie Meets a Visitor.” “ So Was I.” “ Broken- Hearted Dutchman.” and “ Limita­ tions of Youth." « Mr. H. B. K. Whitney, the general director of the Whitney boyB chorus and who is already favorably known in Newberg, arrived here today and is making the final arrangements for this big concert. Re will stay over for the concert and help In direct­ ing its rendition. Mr. Whitney Is doing a splendid work i mong the boys and this movement in Ne vberg is largely recognized as a splendid th'ng. Boys not only get the bene­ fit of the musical training, but they get a disciplining and moral uplift which many of them would neve/ otherwise knbw. The people of New­ berg should have great pride in the knowledge that the local chorus is by far the largest per capita chorus in the state. If you are proud of this fact, you should encourage the boys by your financial assistance at this time, as well as by your moral support and attendance. Some explanation regarding the motives prompting certain individ­ uals to support a musical organiza­ tion for the high school would be both timely and a means of enlight­ enment to persons to whose minds The Oregon Growers cooperative the matter is not clear. There is al­ ways a large amount of musical tal­ association has purchased the lot and ent going to waste in the high buildings in Newberg. owned by the Sox Orchard company, and schools which if properly developed White formerly owned by the Newberg would be of inestimable value to the Sash & Door company.
