PortlaW AanHWBMt Mafmate Cele brate Arrival of Heir ia UalM Way. One of the big treats of the season for the boys, of St. Mary's Home was the reception recently tendered them at the Liberty Theatre by Mr. Jen sen. Through the kindness of the' Knights of Columbus of Portland, autos were provided to transport the kiddies to town. It was a gay sight once they got started, and going up the Terwilliger even the smallest seemed to develop a twelve-cylinder lung power proving that auto horns were not needed to let the world know St. Mary's was on its way to town and wanted a clean right of way, Arrived at the theatre the .boys were entertained by "nappy walk er until the show began. Mr. Walk er led off with the singing of a few songs notably among others "I dont want to go home." When he asked: "Is everybody nappy?" the answer was one grand roar: ' Yea, bo. ' Pro fessor' Murtaugh played on the big Wurlitzer and again the youngsters wound up and sang themselves hoarse. A Charlie Chaplin film was reeled off much to the amusement and applause of the boys, and anoth er feature of the entertainment was a sketch put on by the Portland Dramatic Liub. When the entertainment was over, every lad was treated to candy,, bal loons' and horns which are still use ful at the ball gameB then the sing ing of the national anthem, three 1 rousing cheers for Mr. Jensen and his baby boy, in whose honor the show was given. The autoB then got out of Portland without running foul of the "speed cop" and with the noue makers given them on their way tout, tm young sters were full of pep and let every- one along the line know that St Mary'B still has a place on the map. Through the foresight and kindness of the Sisters at the Home, an appe tizing lunch was served the chaffeurs on their arrival, me uev. superin tendent and the Sisters take this oc casion to thank Mr. Jensen for ths entertainment given the boyB, also the K. of C. and others who so kindly loaned their machines and services to pilot the boys to and from the theatre. COUNTRY HOME NARROWLY ESCAPES DESTRUCTION Last Sunday night the country home of Robert Alexander narrowly escaped being destroyed by fire. As it was, the house was damaged to the extent of something like fifty or sixty dollars. The roof caught fire from sparks from the chimney at about seven o'clock, the neighbors responded promptly to the call for help and saved the building. Luck ily the creek runs nearby and the neighbors formed a bucket brigade and sirbdued the flames before the fire gained very much headway. Mr. Alexander appreciates very much the assistance Rendered. Forest Grove News-Times HIGH SCHOOL PICNIC AT OSWEGO LAKE "Did we go to Oswego Lake on a High School picnic last Friday?" re peated a well-known Junior to our question. "I'll say we did and so will any of the other students who took part in and enjoyed the greatest event of the year, as well as the members of the faculty. "Arriving by truck and auto at about eleven oclodk an immediate rush to secure boats was made. For tunate were they arriving first and securing canoes. At the same time there were also plenty of rowboats. "A short trip on the lake and then about one o'clock you can imagine what happened. Just imagine the longest table in the park loaded to capacity with every imaginable thing that could be eaten and you will know what greeted the crowd on their arrival. Short work indeed was made of that dinner and then we took to the boats. 'When we left at about four thir ty everyone was happy and tired, i "Very little bathing was indulged in because of the cold water but still a few were in long enough to get wet. When I say that it was the great est event of the year I mean all of it, and here's hoping that we will be able to enjoy many more such out ings.' Mr. and Mrs. L B. Wilson moved Saturday from the Barnes property which they have oeupied for the past 1 year to the Tefft house recently va-' cated by Mr. and Mrs. R. D.

Monday saw a deal consummated wnicn has been under consideration for several days and which results in oi the nation on Sunday, Hay 3D, the consolidation of the hardware i Plans are under way for a real rally stocks of the Beaver Garage and ! ing of the veterans of three wars, be Hardware Co., with that of the Cady j mxmmst with a union memorial serv- & hegg Co. Invoicing occupied all time Tuesday and on Wednesday the stock was moved to the Cady A Pegg Store. W. H. Boyd retains the incorpor ation of the Beaver Garage and Hard ware Co., Inc. and the stock of tires, tubes, oils and accessories and will continue the garage part of the busi ness, keeping open of afternoons af ter he returns from his rural route trips. . It is understood that the enlarge ment of the Cady-Pegg stock pre pares the way for new activities in that firm. Harold Pegg returned: from Los Angeles, where he held a hardware position and Willis Cady is expected home from school within a few weeks. A rumor which we can not confirm states that the two young men are to take charge ft the hard ware and furniture business. E. E. Swenson, who has been man ager of the Beaver Garage and Hard ware Co., Inc., is just at present a man of leisure, but he is busily ar ranging new connections and will not leave Beaverton. He will connect with parties who wish to engage in either the real eBtate or the hardware business, or possibly both, in Beaver- ton, aB Mr. Swenson is experienced in both lines. , AN APOLOGY The entertainment committee of the Commercial Ctub utterly failed to' entertain the vast crowd that were absent from the meet ing last Wednesday night, for which we feel that we owe an appol ogy to all. The fact is that the president was sick in bed; the vice president could not be present on account of sickness, whilh was the case with the treasurer, also the secretary could not be found. The key to the school house was lost and the blind committee was hunting the key. The partieB that had so willingly promised to perform and entertain by singing, playing and declaiming came and were disappointed in their willingness to assist in making Beaverton a better Beaverton. If the key to the school house and Auditorium -can be found and the president, "and vice president, as well as the secretary and treasurer can be restored to normal condition by the first Wednes day in June we promise to mend our ways.

Not only did this plan prove highly satisfactory in maintaining the inter est of the boys throughout the season, but it was also the means of devel oping several star players. This year four clubs the Angels, Beavers, Red Sox, and Senators, gaptained re spectively by John Mimmart, Joe Mc cormick, Wm. Sattl and Lewis Sal- vatore will battle for the champion ship of the school. The rare ia an exciting one, and to date several in teresting games have been slaved. From these four teams a picked squad was selected to unhold tha hon or of St Mary's Home against vis iting teams. To say that thus far they have succeeded would be putting uiiiuiy. They opened the season auanlcioua- ly by wallopintr the Verboort school team by the overwhelming score of n o. in the start it looked as if the visitors would have no difficulty in solving the fast ball of Rits, and two runs were made off Uim before he got his "hop" in working order. But, once sure of that break, all the Verboort batten could do was to fan tfco breeze. Rits retired at the end of the 5th inning to give "Lefty" Gregush a chance to display his wares. The game was a creditable exhibition of baseball until the last of the fifth when the heavy artillery of St. Mary's bombarded twirl era and runtr uo 12 tallies. The second game was more closely contested. The St Lawrence team one or the fastest parochial school nines of Portland, invaded the local lot to Bhow the Orphans how the na tional pastime should be played. But before the battle was over they them selves had picked up a few fine points of the game, and when the dust was settled the score board read: St. Ma ry's 13; St Lawrence, 6. Harry Rits mounted the knoll for St. Mary's and naa me vMiiora laoe. The ftoavy sluggers of St. Lawrence all took a swing at Harry's offerings and- missed.
