PARENT TEACHERS AS
SOCIATION ORGANIZED
Object to Assist the Schools of this City
And Stimulate Interest Among the
Students. Will be Active as Soon
as Details Worked Out. Officers
Are Ejected for the Coming Year
Several of the ladies of this
city met with Mrs. Frazille last
Saturday morning at Tonowomn
and after discussing the abvan
tacts of u Parent Teachers Asso
ciation an organization was per
fected by the election of Clifford
Retil as president; Mfs Roy Van
Winkle, vice president; Mrs. J. 0.
Cawlfield, secretary, and J. S.
Cook treasurer.
The organization of such an
assoeation had been under con
sideration for some time in this
city and it was fortunate to have
the assistance of Mrs. Frazille in
getting the organization started.
"t'e do not know just when there
will be a meeting of the aseocm-
tion but feel it should have the
support of the entire community,
This is not an organization to
dictate what should be done in
the schools but rather to work in
harmony with the teachers and
Rive them whatever aid and en
couragement possible. Also it
should be a factor in bringing '
about a closer relationship be
tween students and the teacher
and the genera) school work.
Mrs. Frazille attended the
opening meeting of the Ladies'
Library Club during the after
noon of the same day and comp
limented the ladies on the ex
cellent work acheived during the
past years in getting such a tnag
nificient library' together. Mrs.
Frazille stated positively that it
was at least 75 per cent better ;
than the average library in places
of three times the population of
Burns and that it was one of the
best selected and cleanest librar
ies she had ever visueu. ine
lady made a personal inspection
of the volumes during the day
and this was her verdict after a
careful investigation of the lib
rary.

dant of all the metals. In form
of its oxide, alumina, it consti
tutes about I " per cent of the
earth's crust, according to the
United Stated Geological Survey.
Yet until recent years it was a
curiosity; there were only a few
hundred or few thousand pounds
in existence, and its value was
$14 or $15 u pound. Within a
generation it has become very
useful, now selling ut about 2D
cents u pound The entry of
aluminum into the field of useful
metals came with the discovery
that it could be extracted from
'the mineral bauxite, a claylike
substance
This mineral itself is
ans plentiful but
sits are sufficient to
by no mentis
known deposits
make aluminum
un important
competitor of certain metals, such
tipcr and tin, in a good
many lines of work.
Alritdy aluminum has displaced
steel in certain classes of con
struntion where strength is re-
quired in combination with ex-
treme lightness, such as in manu
facture of flying machines. An
alloy known as duraluim, con
tainiuu about 96 ier cent of al
uminum, is claimed to have quali
ties as good as those of good
Bessmer steel, although it Is only
one third as heavy. This alloy
possesses great hardness when
annealed; and its melting point
is above l.auO degrees K. The
ori-eat future of aluminum lies in
iw perfection of a process where
by it can be commercially ex
tracted from the unlimited de
posits of alumina- rich clays and
rocks, which exists in all parts
of the world. The day which
shall yield really cheap aluminum
holds out boundless possibilities.
The chemist or investigator who
can devise the needed proeess of
extraction will not be forgotten
by succeeding generations.

Our Public Library.
The Ladle's Librarry Club has
decided to hold a "Tag Day" for
the benefit of the Public Library
on next Saturday. In the past
these Ladies have given at least
one entertainment during the
year for the purpose of raising
funds with which to purchase
new books but this year they
havo decided on the 'Tag" pro
position, It has always been a
task to get up a program and
those participating have sacrific
ed their time and energy for this
purpose. The library is now a
public one and the city levies a
tax for the purpose of paying a
librarian but the ladies have ob
ligated themselves to secure new
books from time to time, there
fore are taking this means.
There is no disposition to force
this matter upon the general
public but The Times-Herald
hopes to sec every man, woman
and child on the streets of Burns
next Saturday wearing a "tag"
showing they have contributed
toward this worthy cause. No
one is going to tell you how much
you shall give, no questions will
be asked, so give just what you
consider you can toward it. but

Pig Raising Project to
Have New Specialist
Oregon boys and girls engag
ed in pig raising are to be given
the asssitance of a specialist in Mr Mowrey uppeareu in reci
pork production, who will devote before cultured, musical audi
hin.ntir.tim to th. industrial i n" Thursday night in the
club project. An arrangement
has been entered into by the Ari
cultural College Extension divis
ion and the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture for co-operation
in carrying on this branch
of the work. The new appointee
will be a member of the college
extension staff and work under
the direction of R. D. Hetzel,
Extension Director, in connec
tion with the State Department
of Education.
Ip making the announcement
of the new policy Professor Het
zel said that J, U. Allen, a master
of agriculture of the State Agri
cultural College, will be recom
mended to the Board of Regents
and the Department of Agricul
ture for this position. He has
had extended experience in live
stock production at Cove. Oregon
and has received both the bachel
or and master degrees from the
Animal Husbandry department
of the College. Under his direc
tion it irexpecteu that great pro
gress will be made in this im
portant club work. Last year
282 members were enrolled for
pig raising and this number will
doubtless be doubled several
times within the coming year.
Farmers, atou,k growers and busi
ness men approve the pork pro
duction project and the state
bankers association offers to lend
financial assistance in purchasing
blooded stock for club members.

ball room of the Multnomah
Hotel, and by his splendid piano
playing created a profound im
pression. He made many new
friends. His behavior at the
piano was an example to all pia
nist. Mr. Mowrey is modest,
quiet, serious, and at all times he
has a thorough command of him
self. He is never cheap nor sen-
aational, and ever natural.
Master of the zephyr moods of
the piano, when eaprosalon be
comes a delicate whisper, Mr.
Mowrey is also an accomplished
creator of dynamic effect, yet he
never "pounds" or offends with
excessive strength in the use of
the pedals. A picture is rather
given of a harmonious musical
whole. His work is clean cut
and brilliant. The Debussy
"Minstrels" and the Herard
"Humoresque" are "new" mu
sic, difficult to play, but the pia
nist surmounts all technical diffi

Library Club Meets.
IContrlbuUdl
The Ladies Library Club held
its first meeting of the season at
the home of the President, Mrs.
J. W. Biggs. The President's
greeting embodied a short ad
dress of welcome, and a plea for
help and a cultivation of a spirit
of co-operation from the members
in the interest of the Library.
At her suggestion it was decided
to have a "Tag Day" October 16
t to raise money for the purchase
of books. Mrs. Farre's song
"Good Hye to Summer" with
Mrs. Sutton as accompanist was
roundly applauded.
The Ladies had the pleasure of
meeting Mrs. Emma H. Frazille
who congratulated Burns for its
splendid library, saying "It is
(he best library both in selection
und number of book of sny town
of its size in Oregon."
She also gave a very interest
ing and instructive talk on "The
value of pictures as character
builders." After the program
refreshments were sewed and a
social hour was spent.

Home Credit System
In Our Public Schools
The Times-Herald Job depart
ment has recently printed sever
al thousand "Home Credit" slips
for the county school superinten
dent, as well as a couple of thou
sand pamphlets describing the
system for the use of school dis
tricts throughout this county.
This matter was brought up
during the recent institute and
we are pleased to learn from
Supt. Hamilton that many of the
teachers took a supply of the
slips and pamphlets home with
them and will inaugurate the
system in their home schools.
This is a move irr the right direc
tion and brings the schools and
homes closer together and divides
the responsibility. While all the
teachers did not avail themselves
of this it is likely that some for
got th m and will ask the super
intendent to forward them a sup
ply. The Times-Herald would
like to see it in every school in
the county as it will stimulate
interest and give the children
encouragement.
We are not behind in the
matter of education in this
county ana mere is no reason
why we should not be up to the
general standard of educational
institutions throughout the West.
The Times-Herald believes agri
culture should be given a promi
nent place in the rural schools
throughout the country and this
will surely como within the near
future. Domestic science and
manual training departments
should be encouraged and with
proper presentation to the voting
people of the country this can be
accomplished. Make our schools
practical and give our children
such advantages as possible.
In connection with this The
Times-Herald is going to add
that it is disappointed in the
county court of this county in
not supporting the county agri
culturist move. We should have
a man in this position right along
all the year and the results will
prove beneficial. It is money
spent in the right direction and
the other view of the matter is
false economy. Money for edu
cation is always a good invest
ment. STROTG EVIDENCE.
