Ctut? lt Silas ZoU Hedge, Elected tt Annual Meeting, Decline! Honor Special Election Necessary. '., It carries the highest salary of any local public office and it is going beg ging. Two elections have proven nec essary and still there is no definite promise of auccess. For when Misa ' Katherine Deainger declined to accept a re-election an district clerk there was much discussion of a successor, and after nearly everybody present at the annual meeting had declined the office, two candidates were brought forth, neither of whom were present, and neither of whom had been consulted as to whether or not they would accept. Miss Hedge was elected hu$ failed to qualify, and now the of fice is seeking a new incumbent. A medal election has been called for jfi.inday evening, July 25, at 8:00 o'clock for, the purpose of selecting a successor to Hiss Desinger. The office carries a salary of $25 a month. The duties are not heavy. There is considerable bookkeeping, vniid the minutes of each meeting are to be kept. Bonds are required, and as the annual expenditures are upwards of $24,000, the office is a most im portant one and requires a careful anl painstaking secretary. It can be filled at the coming elec tion only by some person who is quail- fied accepting the office as a matter ot public duty, uwing to me necessity for evening meetings of the Board at frequent times, the clerk elected must be someone who can conveniently at tend them. It should be someone who iis conveniently at hand in order that ih" business of the district may be ex peditiously handled with convenience to the teachers and others who have mildness with the Board and the large number of students from outside the district who attend calls for someone who is willing to devote careful atten tion and considerable time to the work in order that the tuition fees may be properly charged and from grade pu piU promptly collected. The taking of the school census is another of the duties of the cierk, and this task alone requires painstaking ca re in order that the district may not suffer a financial Iohb because pupils art not enumerated. Taking the task all in all, it is one tbrit requires a careful and conscien tious person of business ability who is willinff to devote his or her time to the ta.-k as a public duty, and not alone for the small remuneration. Here is a oau to public duty that should bring forth a capable man or woman.

ITS FEATURES CITED A new weed law passed by the last session of the legislature contains some provisions that are new and at the same time should lead to more effective cleanings than did the old one. The salient features of the new law are as follows; ( 1 ) The county court is authorized to declare the county a weed-control district but cannot create weed-control districts less than county-wide in extent. (2) The county court at lu discre tion can determine whether a given weed shall be destroyed or merely pre-, vented from seeding and spreading. (3) If the county court of any county does not make a wed-control district of the county, or if the court does make a weed-control district of the county and does not include all the weeds that should be included as noxious, the farm owners in any lo cality may petition for a special weed control district, naming the weeds to be controlled in that district If the majority of farm owners In such a district become disatisfied they may by petition cause the district to be terminated for any " all weeds pre viously included in that district. (4) That portion of the old law applying to dodder Is still In effect. Under the old law upon complaint to the. Justice of the peace that dodder is going to seed the justice must not ify the grower to exterminate said dodder and if this is not done said grower is liable to a fine. Every section of the state has its own special set of noxious weeds to control. Each of the folio wine weeds is a serious pest in some locality in the state, and wherever they are found measures should be taken to control them j. Canadian thistle, wild morning glory, Russian thistle, Wild radish, quacK grass, ana Jim Mill mustard, HEALTH CRUSADE INSTITUTE PLANNED FOR JULY 27-29 Of interest to teachers and to the 33,000 Uregon school children rolled In the Modern Health Crusade last year, is the Institute for Crusade workers to be held in Portland, July 27 to 29. by Miss Grace Osborne, of the National Tuberculosis Association.

With the opening of many new highways has come the problem of accommodating the scores of campers snd tourists who wish to spend their vacations out of doors. Many cities have made attractive camping grounds, but aside from this the responsibility Is left to the Individual. Carelessness in camp sanitation is the cause of most of the typhoid epi demics. The old saying "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of eure," proves its worth in a case like this. Care in the selection of food and water supply and in disposing of gar bage and sewage is the best safe guard. ' Pure water is often difficult to find so it is usually best to treat all drinking water, suggest specialists at the agricultural coltem. Boilinir is a safe and sure method. Chlorine tablets, which can be bought at any drug store, win Kin most germs.

JUST A LITTLE SERMON Here is a true story of everyday life that contains a sermon for every adult person in this town. Two families lived side by side. One boms waa childless. In the other were two little boys, i The younger boy waa as sweet as ever child was made, and was netted and coddled by the neighbors. The older one felt his isolation keenly, but said little. He became morose and self willed, and was a trial to his parents. v One day the younger one died, and the neighbors grieved. But there was no petting for the remaining boy. because he had not been petted during the life of his brother. 'He, too. grieved, but his disposition did not change. The neighbor sat in his home one night thinking of the future of tho remaining child, He wondered If he had been quite fair with it, and con eluded that he had not. The next time he saw the little fellow he was kind and gentle with him. He gave him the same attention he had given his brother, and con' tinued that course from day to day. Soon he detected a chance, and in tne course oi a jew months there was a wonderful transformation. The mo rosansss gradually disappeared, and whs replaced by a sunny disposition. not an due to tne neighbor, or course, but it had its effect. It aided in removing the gloom that clouded the infantile brain and brought his better qualities to the surface. There are little children around us of this community each day. They are as sensitive to indifference and neglect as the boy whose story we have told. What are we doinir to nut the sun snine oi happiness into tneir lives 7 What are you doing 7 Thursday night of last week. Mr. and Mrs. A. W.

Street So That Parishioners May . . Drive to Services at St. Cecilia's. With the meeting of the Council Monday night the offer of the War ren Construction Company to pave approximately half a mile of Lom burd Street with a 12-foot pavement and two-foot rock shoulder on each side and otherwise to Improve the tret for a sum of approximately $U,000 was accepted and the com pany authorised to proceed with the paving under the specifications pre pared by the city engineer. Work will commence as loon as the com pany can assemble their equipment. At the same meeting the recorder was authorised to advertise for bids fur the macadamising of East street from the highway to St. Celilla's church. A notice of this call for bids is to be found elsewhere in this issue. The Improvement to Lombard will render this street one of Beaverton's m' st delightful residence sections and will fully justify the reputation which residents of that part of town have established for progressive action. The improvement of East street will enable the parishlonera of St, Cecilia's to reach their place of wor ship after the fall rains begin and will prove a great convenience to residents of that part of town, It was at first proposed to pave this street also, but the high cost of pav ing and the light traffic m the street led to the cheaper improvement.

In Paris we find that jout on the beaches Where bathers appear in colors so bright, Where fashions are made for which ; the world reaches, Adopting their style, be it lose or tight. - The latest of fads we find Is quite simple. If It ain't natural another is made, For upon their knee they must have a dimple. Some means to do so they bring to their aid. ' ' For U'hen they appear in si' its that are latest Some go to be seen by crowds that go here, And anything to attract which la greatest To improve beauty or something to . wear. ,. i Look at the beaches and sea the crowds gather, As we stroll along their favorite beach. Tho larger tho crowds when fairer the weather, A'nd how long doesf their bathing suits reach? Some up to their knees In water are wading Their bathing suits they don't care to vet wet.
