The plays in the order of presen-1 tation are: "Riders to the Sea, "The Maker of Dreams," and 'The Queen of Hearts." "Riders to the Sea, is a tragedy of the Irish fisher folk of the Aran is lands! written by John Millington Eynge in 1916. In this family trag edy of the sea he depicts not alone the correct costumes but the peculiar phraseology and pronunciation of these earnest people. The charac ters as chosen for local presentation are: ' Maurya, the bereaved mother Prances Gothard. Bartley, her sonWesley Cook. Cathleen, her daughter Janet Huntley. Nora, her daughter Carna Peter son. "The Maker of Dreams," by OJi- phant Down, is a (phantasy presenting the cheerful thought that the beBt is really with us when we open our eyes. It is a buoyant breezy little piece that is pleasing though ser- monic The characters depicted are along the lines of the Italian Pierrot, the Harlequin or Pantaloon and are very appealing. The cast of this splendid .playlet is: Pierron Dorotha Huntley. Pierrette Nellie Antrim. Maker of Dreams John Malarky. Of course the evening would not be rounded out unless there were the usual comedy offering, therefore, fering, "The Queen of Hearts" by Ian Hay.

Pptato Control Complex ' Most potato dise&3 in Oregon can not be controlled by one measure only, says M. B. McKay, experiment station specialist, in his new bulletin, "Pota to Diseases in Oregon and Their Con trol," Rhizoctonia is cited as an ex ample of complex control. It lives in both, seed and ground, so rotation of land and seed treatment are necessa ry. Either alone is likely to fail. Per fect control is nearly impossible, as the fungus lives on many other plants, some of them wild. The bulletin tells how is avert most serious losses from this and other diseaes. A nihe pound baby boy arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Aves, of puyaliup, Washington, March 28, 1922. Joe Aves is the son of Mrs. W. Older, who formerly lived at Gales Oeek. but now living near Renton, nasiiwgton. oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon LOST! On Watson St., 3 pairs Children' Shoes In 2 Packages.

CATTLE CLUE SOUTHERN PACIFIC SAVES $872,900 SALVAGING "SCRAP" How a great railroad can make large savings by small economies, is shown in the feature article of the Southern Pacific "Bulletin" (April issue), dealing with the salvaging or reclamation of "scrap" by the com pany, an activity which caused a known net saving of $872,000 in 1921, besides other savings which cannot be definitely estimated. A. S. McKelligon, General Store keeper for the Company, who has charge of the reclamation operations says in the article that the total value of the material reclaimed in 1921, if purchased new would have been siuy!8S.08t and the cost of recla mation was ttiH.Oll.i.i. Scrap of all sorts is collected along the Company's right of way and brought in by the supply trains to the bariouB scrap docks where the mater ial is sorted by men who are experts in their line. They know just what in utfuig- reciaimea, wnetner the ma terial found can be reclaimed and know almost at once the nature of each article they find in the great UPB vi tM.ru p. The articles reclaimed cover a great range. Much material received is r.iade over into entirely different form. Even the machinery itself has been -made over from machines which have outlived their usefulness else where. Items handled vary from seal- cells, tin drinking cuds and s-reane cans from coffee cans, clip paper and pads from old forms ad tariffs, etc., to bolts, brakebeams, car and locomo tive couplers, truck and body bolster, rail joint, switch pcii.is and frogs, and rail. As an instance of the imDortanre of small savings, the company saved $58,926.51 in the reclaiming of old cotton ana wool waste. DONT BELIEVE ALL YOU HEAR The Times is going to continue in Business under the present manage ment until sold to some reliable per son who will continue to give Beav erton a good paper We feel it our duty to express our gratitude to those who have promptly responded to our state ments sent out to delinquents. But we feel that those who know themselves in arrears will confer a great favor on us by Remitting with out fail. You can leave it with E. E. Swenson or Remit directly to us whichever is the most convenient to you. HUBER DOTS The Huber Commercial Club has Improved its building by-ceiling the hall and all other adjacent rooms. The Club was entertained last Wed- Lesday night by Mr. R. C. Lohman with a Radio demonstration. We listened to wireless conversations be tween Cataline Islands and San Fran cisco; between Seattle and Vancouver Barracks, chorus from the Oregonian building. Voices and innate were very good, but the-chorus o-thirty-five voices came rather mixed. Col. J. Henry Wells met with quite an accident while he was working on the Club building. The scaffold broke with him and he received ab roken rib and a few other bruises, but he is improving slowly. Mr. Cromwell and family have left Huber and moved to Washington to take charge of a farm. Mr. Anderson and family now- oc cupy the Blanton -property and we . welcome them as our neighbors. I hang up your Agricultural Imple ments, Take down your Musical In- strumenta. I MR. FARMER EASTER GREETINGS I By J. W. Barnes Come closer, friends, there is much to do In this world of bitter strife. Hard must they work, the faithful few , Who solve this sum of life. Mixed up together and glued so tight Is the good among the evil. To separate the wrong from the right Would puzzle the very devil. 'Tis a problem that is bard to do And few who can see thru it, And here 'tis 'eft for me and you To see if we can do it.

"The noultryman whose flock aver- ages 140 to 1W) eggse per hen receives interest on his investment but no pay for his labor," says A. G. Lunn, head of the poultry husbandry at the O. A. C.

On the accuracy of the population figures, both present and future, hinges, in large measure, the degree of accuracy of our development study as a whole. For this reason, the matter of popula tion is given very careful considera tion and an attempt is made to ar rive at a figure that ii at nearly cor rect as u possible, to get it. For comparative purposes in the Forest Grove study, f took the census figures for the state at large and for nnHnmirtqn totaiiy irunt jhyu to data or B decades. For Forest Grove, Hill bom and Portland the census figures from 18t)u to date or 3 decades were used. i These various pnnt f.mir... wn' plotted on a graphic chart in order to see wniic tne present population would be considered on a straight line basis. It was found that the curve for the state at large, Washington County, Portland and Hillsburo, all showed a general trend upward during the past decade even though in less degree than during the decode between 1100 lulO while Forest Grove alone showed practically straight line or practt- vuy fiu gruwin. During the decade between 1010. the state made a net gain of wi,wk or j uve increase. Portland go i nod 61,074, or 24.6. Washington County gained 4,864 or 22.5. ' Hillsboro gained 4t2 or 22,4. Forest Grove gained 148 or H.l. If we take the census figures as re flecting the correct relative standing we find that out of a net gain of 22.5 made by Washington County, llllls boro got her proportion of 22.4 while Forest Grove was able to show a net increase of only 8.1, The on ly conclusion I fan draw from this is that Hillsboro saw to it that she got somewhere near a fair count while Forest Grove did not. So much for the Census figures. Our house count data shows a total of 634 families by actual count within the city limits of Forest Grove. It shows 1(10 families, actual count outside but contiguous to the city limits, that is, people who enjoy all of the privileges of living inside the city limits except the one of paying taxes. The census renorts. show the aver. age number of people to each family IOIIOWS1 Jan. 1 1800 1900 1010 1020 1022 State 4.03 4.68 4.4S 8.414 3.60 Forest ; Grove 4.83 4.41 4.34 8.01 8.84 You will note thla indicate auitn a tendency toward race suicide in both me state and f orest Urove wan.

Now, I have shown you the actual number of fe ml II Bo living inside the city limits as 61)4 and outside, which should be in, as 100, so It becomes only a matter of multiplication to find the present actual population as near as it can be determined without mak ing an actual count of each person, and I might -add that through tests ow uui iniiiiijr noil tri h nine that have been made that thirl T method of determining population will not Vary over 50 ueonle from an aitnal Six hundred and thirty-four multi plied by 8.84 equals 2,4.16. the popula tion limine uny limits.

On the straight Una chart mathmi. considering that Forest Grove ln creased in proportion to the' State, County, Hillsboro and Portland growth we would have inside the city limits 24M as airainst 24:15 inli-atl by the other method. Again, our school enrollment Is 800. If you figure 2 to the famiiv which ll the mini mum, you would get JUtiS, plus K00 school children, or 2HM, which leaves only 400 to take car of all oiner cniiuren not or school aire and iHiuiit, over ami aoove n to tne family, wnicn i consiiiei' a very conservative figure.

To this end our current telephone direct-' tory will be of considerable aid as alb houses wherein there is a telephone, is properly listed as to address. Pacific Avenue is the dividing Iin between North and South . Main Htreet is the dividing line be tween East and West. Streets run North and Street. Avenues run East and West. West of Main Htreet the Streets are lettered froth "A" up. East of Main Htreet th Street ar numbered from "1" up. North of Faclfio Avenue th Ave- nuen are numbered from "1" up . Houth of Pacific Avenue th Ave nues are numbered from "1" up. All houses are numbered, beginning at 1 from Pacific Avenue going North. House numbers also begin at 1 from Pacific Avenue going Houth. On Avenues the house number start at 1 from Main Street going either East or West. On streets, odd numben on East tide, even numbers on West aid. On Avenues, odd numbers on North! MlmVvffll nuiiibgi w tttttlfc aadsw It will be seen that to correctly des ignate an address on streets it wilt he necessary to say either North or South as the case may be. On Avenues, if confusion Is to bat avoided, It will be necessary to desig nate whether It Is North or Houth of Pacific Avomie md also whether It I East or West of Main Htreet.
