Our Sweet Young Thing wants to know if all engineers are civil. Children: Complete bliss is found in Webster, fairy tales and books only. God is all-providing. When con versation lags we always have the weather. After driving down a lonely road on Saturday night we are reminded that all the gushers aren’t in the oil fields. And, having much confidence in »banking, we’d transfer our roll from the old sock to some Medford insti tution—if we had a sock. In lesponse to Mr. Hoover’s plea thut we quit hoarding, we’d like to state that, should we ever get a dollar, it would be the most hoarded thing in the valley, you bet. One little girl, after reading all about the banking difficulties in our neighboring city, wondered if bank runs were as serious as those in hose. Thirteen married men shouted “no!" The oft-repeated phrase, “the de pression sure got me," has been changed to “see you after the bank reorganization" by a lot of people who never deposited a nickel in anything except a gum machine. T() OPEN SAWMILL When spring ranch work is fin ished and a logging wagon is com pleted the Purcel sawmill on Little Applegate will be in operation again, after about three months of inactivity. Orders for lumber are coming in and Mr. Purcel deems it necessary to start the mill as soon as possible before he loses the or ders. • Miss Hazel Williams, who re cently had her shoulder broken by being thrown from a horse, is re covering nicely and expects to be able to return to her home this week. Her father, Jack Williams, is a newcomer, having purchased a place on the Jacksonville-Ruch road last fall. AWARD CONTRACTS FOR TWO SCHOOLS People in the Watkins school dis trict are feeling particularly grate ful for being able to secure Mrs. Ina Purcel to teach there for an other year. Her contract was made out at a board meeting Monday. Since the recent agitation over the advisability of married teach ers in the schools, that district feels fortunate that the committee ap pointed by the county school boards did not have the authority to regu late the situation. Mrs. Purcel is one of the out standing teachers of the county. She not only is a conscientious worker, but she has a background of about 14 years teaching exper ience. Those in the district hold her fine character in high regard for its beneficial influence over the pupils. Mrs. Purcel also offers an oppor tunity for music in the school. At the present time she has six violin pupils and a class of eigilt taking piano lessons. All of her teaching experience has been gained in the county with the exception of a term at Siski you. Her first school was here at Beaver creek in 1906. Applegate school boards are busy considering applicants. Miss Jean ette Gore has been given the con tract for the Beaver creek school. Miss Gore taught at that school four years ago, and has taught at Beagle during the last two years. Beaver district also gained an ef ficient teacher in hiring Miss Gore. Jacksonville’s busy gold mine, the Old Town property formerly held by George Schump, has been placed on a 24-hour working basis, full op erations being inaugurated Wednes day evening of this week.
