Elks Remember Needy The McMinnvilie lodge of Elks, to which quite a number of this county's men belong,-generously remembered a number of poor families at Christ mas time.

Ed Ahlgren, who is always ac tive along the lines above indicated whether for Elkdom or otherwise, was the local deputy who had charge of the distribution here and he no doubt did his duty well.

Washington County, as an aggregation of tax payers, has a high opinion of that County Court and while it may cnt itixe in apota, it gets together be hind the plana of the County Court and all goes well. This wus clearly demonstrated at BUlsboao Monday when the citizens gathered to ap prove a budget for next year and nut through the budget practically us prerured by the Court, although individuals and communities went to the meeting determined to get more money for certain features or to see that certain items were eliminated. This war particularly true of the itoniR nrnvidine- for County Agricul tural Agent work and County Health Nurse work. Despite the bitter fight that waged about these two items, the meeting came to conclude that the imminent of the Court was beat in all items exi-ept a sum of $uaU0 in cluded in the budget for the county recorder's office. Recorder Everest hud asked- for , $5136.40. He wan given 4500. The contest over the County Ag npiiltmul Ai?eiib started when some one moved to cut out the item. Wil liam Schulmerich got on his feet H tnnk off his coat. He told what he thought of the farmers who did not want to get ahead in modern ways of forming. He told them what Congress is doing for them right now and why Congr ss is doing it. He told what Tillamook and Coos ...ri . 1 A ft,a Ainnna- COUIlUeS IIMVC uuire. uurei u.ovhm- inti followiMl. The motion was lost. Then someone wanted to add $500 to the budget. That was discussed and lost. Then the budget as rec ommended was carried and the Agri cultural agent's appropriation was enfn for another vear. nr. I,. W. Hvde led the f ieht for an increase in the appropriation for the County Health Nurse. He gave figures to show that the actual cost of the work was $2080 per year and that any appropriation less than that would siniL.lv be aabinir charity of j the Oregon State Tuberculosis as sociation wiiicn nas nereioiore maue up the deficit. Much discussion fol lowed. Dr. Hyde amended his mo tion to make the appropriation $211)0, after Mrs. Sadie Orr Dun- l:nr, of Portland, head of the asso ciation "tn 'Oregon, had stated that 1 lie association would meet tne tax payers here on any grounds to keep the work going. The amendment was lost by a vote of 109 to 71. Then the original amount was put to vote and after several attempts to eet a satisfactory vote a count was made of 103 votes for .and only a small showing against end the county nurse eat $1500. The meeting was called to order at shortly after 10:00 o'clock by Judge (Joodin, with the tT o coram issianera and the county clerk and deputy in attendance and the courtroom- well filled with representatives of all narts of the county. D. G. Lilly was chosen chairman after a short intro duction to the purpose of the meet ing by the County Judge. Discussion of the County Super intendent's budget brought out the fact that this county is $19,000 be hind in paying its high school tuition to high school districts in this county and those in other counties of the state where Washington County pupils attend, and that the anntlal cost of this service is $28,879.00, based on the present year's totals. J. H. Wescott. of Laurelwood, asked for $1000 for Road District No. 24, which comprises that part of the county lying east of the Southern Pauific tracks between Spring Hill farm and the Yamhill County line. This proposition came near putting over the budget as pro posed with this addition but was finally defeated by the close vote of 67 to 65. This proposition came when the meeting first ODened.

SAYS BEES HAVE .LANGUAGE University Professor Asserts That They Also Have Some Sort of , Telegraphic System. Bees have a language and a system of telegraphy, according to Profes sor Frauds Jager, chief of the divi sion of bee culture at the University of Minnesota farm. Wonderful prog ress has been made In bee culture, but their means of communication still re-, main a mystery, according to Profes sor Jagpr. Professor Jager has conducted many experiments in an effort to learn some thing of the bee's mysterious form of communication. In one of tliemhe took the queen beo out of a- hive, which was four or fivp feet high. As won as the working bet's discovered their leader was missing they began crying' The crying was uudlble four or five feet from the hive. Within 36 sec onds after the queen bee had been re placed at the bottom of the hive the crying subsided at the top of the hive, arid the- showed their joy by standing on their heads, according to Professor Joger.
