First experiment was tried last year when the county crew graded three or four mile« of mad between the Boardman and Rutledge neighborhood«. The new method is to use almost the entire road way for the road, grading all the dirt into the road. When finished it looks like a highway, there is enough material to smooth up small depressions and knolls and the road is always wide enough to give the snow a chance to blow off and ¿rainage ditches are made big enough to catch any ordinary Leroy Stradley and wife were here over the week end from Portland where he Is working for the highway department.

IT’S SNOWING There probably exists within this county some persons who have seen it snow during the month of April almost year since they began observing climate conditions. Yet, it always brings something of a start to finb snow fall ing after spring has been duly announced by the calendar. Certainly the past week would make a calendar maker think he had made a mistake in his calculations. Snow has fallen nearly every day, not much to be sure, but enough to cover the ground at some time during the day or night. Farmers protests that it keeps them out of the fields, and it does. However, any wheat farmers will cheerfully stay with { in doors if moisture in any quanity will fell. And as a slave after the scratching the wind gave us a week ago the snow is the very best. ♦ That plump appearance on the face of your friends may not be an indication that times are better and they are better fed.

In the first division Audeen Alsup was first; Robert Johnson, second and Dean Wilcox, third. In the second div-1 ision, or that composed of the stud I tints of the fourth, fifth and sixth) grades, Billy Eaton was first, Gor-1 don Lemley, second, and Jean- , ette Huhman third. The third div । ision, which was made up of 7th I and 8tJh grade pupils had only two representatives, Robert Eaton and Lavon Alsup. The decision was rendered in Robert’s favor. On Tuesday night of last week , the Literature club had its first night of practice on the one-act pla,ys. These, plays are being worked on diligently, so they are expected to be very good. They will be presented on April 12 in the civic auditorium. The plays are: a farce comedy, “Meet the mystery farce, Countess”, “Thank-you, Doctor,’’ and “Thie Valiant” a one act tragedy. Baseball practice is progress ing very well in spite of the bad weather which has held it up a day or two.
