THE LOTTERY MAN
A Rhymed Review
By jfiussell Holman
Jovial Jack was a bachelor,
Not very strong for the girls; -
Said it was luck that selected your
Wife from the lemons and pearls.
Offered himself in a lottery, "
(Chances a dollar a throw),
. Promised to marry the maiden who
won it; nis eye on the dough.
'Long came a fair one named Helen,
And, like the famed Lady of Troy,
Captured his heart in a twinkling; but
Brief was his moment of joy.
Homely old Liz won the drawing, and
Jack faced a terrible plight,
Tied to a spinster forever, til
Nora, the cook, spread the light,
Showed that the coupon was stolen, so
Lis, in strategic retreat,
Left all the honors to Helen, and '
Jack came to life toute suite. .
Handsome and blithe Wallace Raid is
The foolish-wise Lottery Men.
Chic Wanda Hawley the girl; it's a
Treat for each fanette and fan.
Grove Girl Justice of Peace
Miss Ruth Austin, formerly of
this county, and daughter of Mrs. Net
tie Austin, who has been in Sham
ko, Oregon, since June, and who is
assistant postmistress of thatnlace.
' was at the late election elected Jus
tice of the Peace.
PARENT-TEACHERS' MEETING
The regular meeting of the Parent
Teachers' association will be held in
the auditorium of the high school
Tuesday evening, Jan. 11th. Several
good musical numbers by students
will feature this meeting. The speak
er of the evening will, in all prob
ability, be Mrs. Emma Fraselle, of
Multnomah Station, who will lecture
on home reading. ,
The program committee composed
of Mesdames Pharis, Gray and Boring
expect to have an outside speaker
presentat each "session. ,

Queer Leap Year -Belief.
In many of the rural parts of -Bog-land
the singular belief prevails thai
in leap year all field beans grow or
the wrong aide of the pod. $
As a result of the action recently
taken by the Forest Grate City Coun
cil when it levied a special ten mill
tax in addition to that already fixed
in the city budget, an injunction re
tfluninff County Aeieaeor Bole
from levying this epecial mill tax
was sought in Circuit Court . this
week, . B. snipington of that city,
filing1 the complaint. The case came
before circuit Judge Uagiey and
temporary injunction was granted.
Attorney Manche Langley repre
sented Mr. Sappington and District
Attorney Tongue will no doubt repre
sent the County Assessor. A hearing
win later ne nan on the menu ox toe
injunction, and it will be determined
whether or not the injunction will be
made nennanent
It seems that -there it a clause in
the old city charter whereby the
council may levy an additional mill
tax, bat it is claimed that the law
which forbids tax-levying bodies from
exceeding an increase of six per cent
over the previous year's assessment
came into exxect alter this old city
charter was adopted by the people of
Forest Grove, but that the law for
bidding the excess six per cent, is
effective on the city is the claim of
those who oppose the extra tax.
The city council is in need of the
extra money that the ten mills will
bring in, hence the action w levying
toe extra ram. -

HUBER SCHOOLS REOPEN
WITH NEW TEACHERS
After being closed several days as
a result of the dismissal of one teach
er and the resignation of the princi
pal, Aloha-Huber schools are again
in session with new teachers. Mr.
McLacey is principal and his assist
ants are Mrs. Eckes of Portland and
Mrs. Narver of Beaverton.
The trouble arose when the pri
mary teacher, Mrs. Tula Bonnar, of
Portland, slapped the little daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Ingram, as a punish
ment for alleged misconduct, accord
ing to reports from that community.
The parents objected to the manner
of discipline and demanded the re
moval of the teacher. A trial was,
held before the Board of Directors
consisting of Dan Shaw, chairman.
L. Kinneman and A. Sundberg, with
J. T. York as clerk. Attorney Mc
Guire, of Portland, reoresented the
teacher and E. J. McAlear, of Hills-
boro, appeared for the district. Two
days were consumed in the hearing
and the teacher was dismissed. It is
understood that she wilt file suit to
collect her salary but the Board feels
that the rights of the district have
been protected. Principal Cochran re
signed and the school was closed for
a week.
To Spell at Pleasure.
An Iowa professor urges that every
one should be allowed to spell as he
pleases, to save all the time spent In
learning the prevailing fashion. It
probably would not save much time for
the reader of such spelling. With the
typewriter to do the writing and the
adding machine to do the arithmetic
and history discarded as useless, free
dom In spelling would go far to do
away with the need of any schools at
all. St. Paul Pioneer Press.

Mother was washing her hair, which
was fluffy at all times but when wet
decidedly curly. Five-year-old John

Thursday shortly after noon, John
Jack, of Jaclnown, while returning
home from Reedville with a load ox
feed, was struck and instantly killed
by Train No. 128, eostbound, which
passes through Beaverton shortly be
fore 1:00 o'clock. According to re
ports received here shortly after the
accident and from trainmen the un
fortunate man drove onto the track
directly in front of the approaching
train which can be seen from the
Witchhaael school crossing for a long
distance, apparently preoccupied and
paid no attention to the whistle and
gong or to the shouts of the engineer.
The team became frightened and
longed out of harm's way but the
wagon was struck squarely and demol
ished. Jack was killed almost instant
ly. His back and both legs were
broken. iWben picked up he was seen
to breathe once or twice but died be

Basketball Game Friday.
A return game with Hillsboro High
School will be slaved in the local
gymnasium next Friday night It
will be a double-header with both a
boys' game and a girls' game. Hera
is a chance for the public to see the
locals in action against teams which
have been superior to the locals until
this year but which were humbled on
their own floor by both of our teams
a short while ago. It will be worth
seeing.

MY LITTLE DRUM
I've got a little tiny dura
The size they get for boys
An' wif the sticks that come wif it
I make a heap of noise.
My ma she likes my drum, you bet
&ne likes it out ol sight,
I allers fetch it in again -When
dad comes home at night.
Some neighbors wish they had a maul
10 smasn it in the head
The only peaceful times they have
is wnen l go to oed.
An' when I start a-rap-a-tap,
The nearest ones exclaim
Close up the windows and the doors
;inere goes that kid again.
Of course when I first started in '''
No two sounds were alike
You see the reason for that was
I knew not how to strike.
An' when I twisted on the snares
To tiirhten no the hide
The first time I could not do it
Although I tried and tried.
But I picked up a few ideas
ah irom our neignoor's tod
An' that is why that I can do
Much better than I did.
That fellow be can take those sticks.
An' make a rollin1 sound.
The only way I make it roll
is when it's on the ground.
An' sometimes v,hen X leave the house
An do not take the drum.
Back to the place the neighbors wish
That l would never come.

have demonstrated that by the con
struction of 10 mileB of road between
Gales Creek and Wilson River road,

es thereby. v-
following is from Wednesday's
Oregonian concerning the action of
tne State Highway Commission:
nepreseniaiives irom wasnington
Columbia and Clatsop counties, asked
the commission to designate as a
state road the so-called "inside loop"
This the commission declined to do.
The delegation next said that if the
commission would make the survey
the counts would grade at their
own expense and some day thi state
might take the road over. Chairman
Booth suggested that the quickest
way to get the road would be for the
three counties to designate the route
as a market road, then aiwly their i
funds on it. As a market road proj
ect the counties can call on the hiirh
way department for a survey and by
applying their market road funds on
the route it can be devel ithin
few years. The coir ex
plained that there are mai.- -actions
not stf well provided with roads as
the counties embraced in the proposed
inside loop" and which are already
on the state highway map.
Membership Drive t
A membersliio drive for the Inland
Double Loop Highway is being
planned and the business men of For

bership within a few days. All who
are interested in seeing the State
Highway built between Forest Grove

will be asked to join in the movement
that is now on foot to ask the State
Highway Commission to designate
that route for permanent improve
ment.

In a close game at the high school
gym Tuesday night the Beaverton
outlaws triumphed over the J. K.
Gill's of Portland by a close score of
26 to 20, The game was very close
in the last half and it was not until
five minutes before the last whistle
that the locals were able to break
the tie score. There was not a large
crowd, owing to the flooded Condi
tion of the streets, but those who
went were well repaid by the good ex
hibition witnessed. Kemmer, Emmons,
Hughson and Erickson nlayed well
for the locals and Gallo and Mills

STREETS FLOODED IN
RECENT DOWNPOUR
Beaverton streets were flooded
from the Southern Pacific depot to
Erickson's garage when the heavy
downpour of Tuesday afternoon failed
to find sufficient outlet thr ugh the
drains toward the beaverdam and at
times pedestrians found it almost
impossible to get from store to store.
Planks and chunks of wood were
brought into use and temporary
bridges were constructed, ..When the
heaviest rush of water reached its
height, the streets were flooded to a
level with the tracks and the section
crew worked Tuesday night to clear
the culvert under the railroad so that
the water could escape. At places,
during the height of the flood, the
water was two feet or more above the
pavement.
Reports from sections of the sur.
rounding country tell of even more
serious consequences. The Tualatin
river was on a rampage, the Jackson
bridge south of Hillsboro was prac
tically under water and hus-a dIIa nf I
eons couecies on tne ntgnway bridge
between Newton and Matson. Far
mers are reported marooned in places
and many roads were rendered impassable.
Bank robbers made a raid on the
bank at North Plains on Thursday
night of last week and secured con-
srideraMei booty.
The robbers nicked the lock on the
safety vault where a number of de
positors keep their valuables such aa
personal a ee peases, legal papers, etc.
Silver belonging to the bank in the
sum of 8602.00 was secured by them
and many valuable keepsakes taken.
The thieves also purloined liberty
bonds that were In the private boxes
and probably got five or six hundred
dollars worth, it being impossible to
estimate the exact amount aa all of
those having safety boxes have not
been seen by the bank officials.
82500 in municipal bonds were also
taken.
The thieves did their work auletly
during the night time, making good
their escape in an auto.

MISTLAND MINCE MEAT
13 GAINING REPUTATION
It is now the nrune versus the rais
in, when it comes to mince meat In
another Industry the west is challeng
ing the east and that is in the manu
facture of mince meat made with
prunes instead of rsisins.
At the EAigene plant ot tne ure
oo n Growers Cooperative Associa-
iinii m mum nui iiuanv-
ured in which prunes are used and
from all accounts of those who have
tried the Mistland prune mince meat,
it has a far better taste than that
manufactured by eastern packing
houses using raisins.
It is a fact that practically all the
mince meat sold in the west is manu
factured by the great packing houses
in the east It is also a fact that
when the Oregon made product with
its pnjnes is compared with that
manufactured in the east, the home
made mince meat has far the best
of it
That Mistland mince meat is good
and that prunes are actually taking
the place of raisins was demonstrat
ed to our full satisfaction the day
before New Year when a local prune
grower brought to the News-times
office a Mistland mince pie which
was delicious and was made from the
following recipe which we ffive for
the benefit of News-Times readers:
Mistland. Prune Mince Pie
1 Tea Cup of Meat
1 Quart Apples
1 Pint of Italian Prunes
1 Tea Cup of Grape Juice
Vt Cup good Cider Vinegar
1 Cup of Sugar and a little Butter
Spices, Pepper and Cinnamon
This is enough for two pies.
Here is also good news for the
housekeeper who really believes In
Oregon and Oregon products.
It is a fact that from prunes may
be made a heavy soup that rivals
the best soups served. The chef of
the Hotel Marion at Salem, now
serves prune puree and his recipe is
as follows:
Place 1 pound Mistland prunes, 1
stick cinnamon and lemon rind from
2 lemons in boiling water) let stand
over night. Boil until thoroughly
cooked the next morning. Strain and
mix with soup stock to cresm. Make
butter and flour mixture and add to
soup fn small quantities 1 cup ot
cream, stirring mesnwhile. To seas
on, add desired amount of salt and
pepper.
And here Is a recipe for prune
puffs that has been highly recom
mended t
Place two cups of cooked Mistland
prunes in a butered baking dish. Pour
over them a batter made from three
cupfuls of flour, three teaspoonfuls
of baking powder, one half a tea
spoonful of salt, two of melted but
ter, a cupful of milk and two beaten
eggs. Bake until the crust is light
and brown, and a straw comes out
clean. To be served with butter and
egg sauce, as follows: One half cup
ful of butter creamed with one of
sugar. Set in bowl over a kettle
and whip in the whit of one egg
until foamy.
