MARCH 2, 1922 TH E SMITH F A M IL Y ’ The Smith family, who are so. well known in Newberg as to need no further introduction, will be at the Nazarene church for a ten days' meeting commencing tonight, Thurs day. Meetings will be held each ev ening commencing at 7:30. The •Smiths are all musicians with rare Good Show Is Promised and Our A t accomplishments and doubtless their meetings will be greeted with a large tendance W ill Help to Uniform attendance each evening. U D D HILL COMMERCIAL 0 0 8 BUILDING IS SPLENDID TYPE FOR A RURAL COMMUNITY-BUILDING OPENED NEW YEARS The 'Berriap mlnetrel committee reports that the big entertainment which they are to give at Wood-Mar hall on Monday and'Tuesday nights of next week is rapidly rounding Into professional form. They Bay that Newberg will surely be agreeably surprised at the ability and talent that has been slumbering in our very midst. In fact, they say, that they have been obliged to cut out some very good stuntB lest the program might become too long. Their aim has been to work in all the local color possible and they feel delighted with the result and say that the show is a scream ft;om beginning to end. I '' >• " Everyone is cautioned to look out, for there will be laughable, harmless jokes on most everybody in the city and among the lot there are some that will cause you to hold your sides with one hand and wipe your eyes with the other. The program will be varied artd will be given in two parts. The first part w ill be given over to the min strels, with John U. Smith in the role of interlocutor, and Joshua Jenkins and Ebony Liverllp as premier end men. The second part pf the show will include vaudeville/ stunts, etc. Ony Kramien will be seen in some wonderful legerdemain work. The Newberg Whitney boys will appear in popular songs and other features will make up a big evening's enter tainment. The Newberg Berrian band will give demonstrations on the street •before the show each night and in view of the fact that these two shows are being given aB a benefit for the band, they are naturally v^ry anxious to see it a financial success. Aside from the positive assurance that ev eryone who buys a ticket will get their money's worth In entertain ment. thdre will be the satisfaction of knowing that we are helping provide new uniforms for our band. The sale of tickets Is most gratify ing and those having this in charge report that there is a keen demand for the tickets. There is one feature which has either not been sufficient ly explained or is generally misun derstood. This in that all tickets are for reserved seats and that without extra expense the holders may have them reserved at Graham’s drug store. One feature of the entertainment is the large amount of new Htuff that will be given. There will be many new songs, some of which were w rit ten especially for this show and the score for the opening was written by a member of the troup. There are also many new Jokes and many local hits. No one can afford to miss this entertainment. The public should bear in mind the fact that this show will be given both Monday and Tuesday nights. It Is the hope and aim of the Berrians to have a full house both nights. Everyone who goes the first night is requested to phone their friends and tell them about the show and make sure that there Is a good crowd for the second night also. This entertainment should appeal to both city people and country folks for there are both country people and city people in the cast and one number on the program Is a country BChool. Moreover the people In the country should be Interested In the financial success of this undertaking alao for the Berrians is an organiza tion largely In the Interests of the country people. --------- o--------- JACKIE COOGAN IS THE B YD ZEW BKI OF CHECKERS Although he Is only six years of age, little Jackie Coogan knows how to play checkers, and can give many pointers on the game to persons much older than he Is. If you doubt that, go to see him in “ My Boy,” hla latest Associated First National release, which will be shown at the Baker Theatre Wednes day and Thursday. March 8 and 9. Jackie really plays the game: that will be readily admitted, for no di rector could coach him so thoroughly that he could make the moves he does If he didn’t know the game from A to Z. And ask Claude EMlttngwater, who playa the part o f theold sea captain In the picture, if Jackie doesn’t know the game. "H e ’s the boy checker wonder," In the actor’s tribute to Jackie. ---------o— ;---- M ONDAY MUSIC CLUB The Monday musical club met Monday evening. The subject for consideration was negro music, and a most Interesting program had been prepared. The first number was a paper by Mrs. Gibson on the ‘‘ Music of the Negro.” Mrs. Swart read Joel Chandler Harris’ story. “ Br’er Rabbit and the Tar Baby.” Miss Hadley sang "Th e Old Ark’s Mov- erln\” Roll call was responded to with quotations from Paul Laurence Dunbar, and was an exceedingly In teresting part of the proogram. Miss Helen Robertson was elected to mem bership. i STATE ORATORY CON TEST AT P. C. MAR. 10 COUNTY FARM BUREAU ORGANIZATION ELECT EIGHT COLLEGES WILL COMPETE MEETING HELD AT MCMINNVILLE C. F.

The program director. Eva Miles, has arranged to vary the program with some especially good musical numbers to be given by members of the student body, and th^ auditorium decorating committee has plans well under way for malting the chapel a very charming place in which to listen to the orators. At Least 100 Guests Expected Since each school is entitled to send numerous delegates the execu tive staff is preparing for the enter tainment of not fewer than one-hun dred guests. Thanks to the careful and early work done by Harriett Hodgin. president of the oratorical association, in organizing her work ers, visiting students can expect to be well taken care of. Hubert Arm strong is general manager of the fol lowing committees: The Information committee, headed by Clara Calkins, which will arrapge for the entertain ment of the visitors in various New berg homes; the Town committee, with Cassius Carter as chairman, which will meet guests at the city station; and the College committee, under the supervision of Ellis Beals, to meet the guests at the college sta tion.

The medal will be awarded at the close of the con test by the president. The design of the medal has been made hitherto by the college which entertained ths delegates. It Is hoped that a satis factory design will be mads some time that will be suitable for all time.— Crescent. BASE BALL OUTLOOK AT P. C. Pacific College expects to start training for the baseball season about the middle of this month. Prospects this year are quite bright for the local collegians. They have eight letter men from which to draw a line-up and also a number of likely looking prospects among the new members. The eight letter men who will appear on the diamond for Pa cific this year are: Zenas Perisho, last year's captain, third base; Her man Elliott, shortstop; Horace Ter rell, center field; Eldon Everest, left, field; Cassius Carter, secopd base; Walter Cook, third base; Hbbert Armstrong, catcher; and C. S. Pll, pitcher and captain of this year's team. Professor Perisho expects to assist ths boys by coaching them and It is probable that with so mart> old plaVers In’ their line-up they should win ths greater part of their games this year. Games will be played with Pacific University and with Linfleld College, and probably two games with Chemawa.

L. Parrett attended a meeting of the stockholders of the local cannery in Portland on Wednesday at which several important matters were taken up. Arrangements were practically complete«} for the running of the canneries at Newberg and Lebanon this coming summer and Mr. Parrett says that the outlook is that they will be operated to a much larger extent than last year. Mr. Parrett and M. F. Corrigan of McMinnville were elected directors of the Oregon Canning company at this meeting. The Springbrook Packing company have purchased the cannery at Springbrook and are Increasing their capital with a view to operating their plant this summer. They will pack the fruit of the stockholders of their company. This is all good news to the fruit growers of this district as it means a certain market for their fruit this year. Last year every thing was up in the air right up un til picking time was at hand. The growers will be greatly pleased to know that they will know' what to count on this year in advance. ____ _______ o--------- W IL L G IVE BIG SUPPER A N D SH O W A T R EX H A LL The Advance club of Rex will give a supper and show at the club hall at Rex on Wednesday evening, March 8. Smoked sausage will be the feat ure of the supper, while the show promises to be a good one. The price of admission to both show and supper has been set at 50c and certainly everyone should be able to get their money’s worth at such a nominal price. Having eaten one of the Rex people’s dinners we are ready to tes tify to their ability to make your mouth water, and advise the people of Newberg to attend this affair If they don’t want to miss a good even ing’s entertainment and supper. --------- o-------- W H IT N E Y BOYS MET The Whitney boys met last Mon day evening in a fine practice. Several men of the town met and enlisted their services, which was much appreciated. Also Mrs. Dimond assisted with the alto part. Every man in town who likes music and enjoys singing is urged to come. Thq boys have already started on three very fine new songs for their next concert. There will be no Whitney prac tice on next Tuesday evening, March 7, on account of the Berrian enter tainment on Monday and Tuesday evenings, which is to raise money to buy suits for the band boys. We are all proud of our band, and everyone should show It by being at the minstrel entertainment. Arrangements are being made for a big delegation to go from here to McMinnville Friday night of this week to attend the return basket ball game between Newberg high school and McMinnville high, which will be played in the college gymnasium at that place. McMinnville has said that she can beat us bn her home floor and one of their number said that she can beat our boys by 20 points up there. A big crowd of rooters and townspeople are going up to watch our boys prove that it can’t be did. A call is issued to every per son interested In basket ball or in our local high school to get out their cars and secure a load of people to go to McMinnville on Friday night. F ifty carloads of people > the aim. If you have a car and «.an possibly arrange to go meet at the post office at 6:45 In readiness for the start. If you can. secure a load to go with you. but if you can’t get a load your self. notify either. Chester A. Dimond or Mr. Fitzpatrick and they will try to see that you are furnished with a load of passengers. Persons who wish to go and have no car should also get In touch with one of these. By all means make a big effort to go and help the local boys by your presence and your cheering. It will be a hard game and they will need your sup port. Another thing to be consid ered 1 b that the local boys will get 40 per cent of the receipts of this game, and thus your financial aid will be a help to them. The game will be played in the college gymnasium, which has a very large seating capacity. We under stand that one whole side of the room will be reserved for the New berg delegation. This should insure seats for everyone without crowding. It will be well worth your time and expense for It will be a great game. Remember the time, 6:45 p. m. F ri day. and the place of meeting in front of the Newberg post office. ---------o--- <■— AMOS WOOD Amos Wood, deceased, son of James and Susan Wood, was born in Monroe county, Missouri, July 4. 1847, and crossed the plains with his parents and family by ox teams to Oregon and settled In the W illam ette valley in 1864, where he spent the remainder of his life except the last six months, which was spent with his sister at Hood River, Ore gon. where he died Feb. 2 4, 1922.

Rice, 18, of Newberg, Or.— Thurs O’clock February 27, 1922; inter day's Oregonian. ment at West Chehalem. Last Saturday at 2:30 o’clock in the Commercial club rooms at Mc Minnville was held a meeting to per fect the organization of the Yamhill county farm bureau federation. Each -of the five local districts, Yamhill. Sheridan, Amity, McMinnville and Newberg, was represented by two voting delegates besides some mem bers who attended to w atefithe pro ceedings. Newberg was represented by N. P. Nelson and R. F. King as delegates. Col. Aird was present and explain ed the plan of electing county dffl- cers, presented a constitution and answered questions on various sub jects. The election of officers was considered first.. Mr. Corbett was elected president; N. P. Nelson vice- president, and Mr. White, secretary. These were elected by tile ten dele gates representing the five districts as named before. The matter of finances was taken up. The expenses of the membership campaign were gone over and ways and means of handling outlined. Some questions and discussion as to the uses made of the money paid to the state federation by the local or ganizations were asked. Col. Aird outlined the different officers, their duties, salaries, etc., and the various other expenses, etc. The. expenses of the membership campaign were as to the proportionate be eewuaed by the Uu and attend te the aec< various locals.. The question of the share of the funds and method of handling same was laid on the table until next meeting. Col. Aird presented a constitution to be adopted by the county federa tion. After some consideration it was decided to present this at meet ings of the local organizations for their approval or disapproval. The question of county manager was brought before the meeting. No decision was reached in the selection of a man but the kind of a man needed and his duties were talked over. Action was postponed until the next meeting, which is to be held next Saturday at the same time and place. It is hoped at this coming meeting to perfect an organization that will be able to carry on the business of the farm bureau federa tion in Yamhill county as it is car ried on in other counties of Oregon and_ other states. In the meantime there are to be meetings of the sev eral locals to express their opinions and desires that the delegates may represent the entire membership. --------- o--------- DISTRICT SU N D A Y SCHOOL INSTITUTE H ELD F R ID A Y The district Sunday school insti tute whlcn was held at the Christian church was fairly well attended last Friday afternoon and evening. A basket supper was held at 6 o'clock and is reported to have been a very pleasant affair. The principal speakers ‘ were Rev. A. J. Ware of Oregon City and Miss Georgia Parker, from the state Sun day school association in Portland. Department conferences were held covering Sunday school work in the various departments. In the evening Rev. Ware gave an address on the text “ What is that in thy hand?” Rev. Ware brought out the value * f utilizing the things which one has at htend rather than always looking for something new. Miss Parker also gave a short talk covering the various lines of Sunday school work. FEDERATION M EETING Defense and Shooting With the slogan "Get Mac’s Goat” Newberg went after McMinnville’s nanny last Tuesday night at the lo cal high school gymnasium with such good effect that they carried o ff the long end of a 20 to 15 score. It was a mighty good game from start to finish and was certainly no walk away for the local boys even though they did win by a safe margin. The largest crowd which probably ever witnessed a local high school basket bull game was in attendance and as a result the high school probably took in about $250 on the game, 40 per cent of which went to the Mc Minnville team. A large, crowd of rooters came down from McMinnville and this was augmented by an unus ually large turnout of both students and townspeople from Newberg. Bill Reinhart of the University of Oregon, whose home is at Salem, ref ereed the game and while there was some criticism because he held the teams down too close and some thought he favored the McMinnville team, on the whole we think he did a pretty good Job of refereeing and considering the bitter rivalry spirit which exists between these two teams. It was probably wise to hold them down closely. From the first whistle to the very close it was a real fight and both teams were on their mettle. McMinn ville- drew first blood when they scored one point on a foul shot* and Newberg wrent them one hotter al most Immediately by throwing a field basket, netting them two points. Carson made six field goals for New berg in the first half and converted two fouls, making a total of 14 points for Newberg, while Jones and Ship- ley each got one field basket and Shipley, converted six fouls for Mc- Minnvftle in the first half, making them ten points. Both teams played a splendid game of ball.' Newberg on shots for field baskets which in cases resulted in McMinnville recov ering the ball. McMinnville was strong on team passing, and time a f ter time passed the ball all over the fl«x)r, but* they eseemed unable to find the basket and often lost the ball before they could get a chance to throw. In the second half bftth teams tightened up their defense and as a result the score in this half was very small. Newberg making 6 and Mc- Minville 5 points. Carson made two field goals and Mainwaring one for Newberg, bringing thfeir total score up to 20. and Agee and Robbins each made a field goal and Shipley con verted one foul in this half for Mc- MinnvHle, bringing their total up to 15. Some idea of the close way in which the referee was holding the boys down may be seen from the fact that Newberg was credited with making eight fouls and McMinnville with nine. Of these fouls Carson was charged with one. Nelson with three, Carlisle with one and Main- waring two. While on the McMinn ville team Agee. Robbins and Jones were each charged with three. It will be seen that McMinnville made only four field baskets during the game while Newberg made nine. How ever. McMinnville converted seven out of eight of their foul shots, while Newberg only converted two out of a possible nine. Newberg's defense in this game was the outstanding feature, but no no one should get the idea that Mc Minnville did not play good ball themselves for they seemed to be on the Jump all of the time and kept Newberg hustling to beat them. At one time in the second half McMinn ville was one point ahead and many Newberg people were on the anxious seat for a short time, but the New berg boys soon came back with a couple of field baskets and turned the tide again. Everyone who saw this game agrees that they got the worth of their money, for it was certainly a fine game from the spectator’s standpoint and of course the fact that the home team won added to'the enjoyment of the occasion.
