SCHOOL NOTE!
By S. E. Notaon
'JTiere are fancier- towns
the little old town,
than
big-
There are towns that are
'han this;
And the people who live in the
tinier town
All the city contentments may
miss.
mere are thinsn you can see in
the wealthier town
That' you can't in a town that
is small
And yet, up or down
There is no other town
Like your own little town, after
all.
II
It may be that the street through
the heart of the town"
Isn't long, isn't wide, isn't
straight;
But the neighbors you know in
your own little town.
With welcome your coming
await,.....' .
On the glittering streets of the
glittering town,
By the palace and pavement
and wall,
In the midst of the throng.
You will long, you will long,.
For your own little town, after

y-'l "" ww littie town
Sae.' courted your .mOwr,!
It was here in the vale in your
own little town
That-he builded a home in the
shade
It was here on the hill in your
little town
That the school and the book
you recall-
Ev'ry step of the way.
So your memories say,
It's your own little town, after
all.

For it isn't by money you meas
ure a town,
Or the milesthat its border ex
tends; For the best things you gather,
whatever the town,
Are contentment, enjoyment
and friends.
If you live and you work and you
trade in your town,
In spite of the fact it is small,
You'll find that the town.
That your own little town.

where it comands a fine view - of

basement are two large play
rooms, which are reached by in
clines instead of stairs. On the
first flour four rooms have been
finished and are in use. Thev
are well arranged and are well
equipped with apparatus. Some
excellent pictures - adorn the
walls. In the hall there are
drinking fountains. The third
floor is reached by an incline in

A good joke has been going
around the past week on one of
our local farmers. It seems aa
though he was looking through
an Eastern papers and came up
on advertisements whereby one
could procure, with the assist
ance of one dollar, a recipe tell
ing how to kill the worms in bis
wheatflelds, which were destroy
ing his wheat . He sent the
the dollars and In return recei
ved two small -wooden blocks,
numbered 1 and 2, with the fol
lowing in tractions attached,

Two rooms are so arranged
as to be easily thrown together,
thus making a splendid auditor
ium. This part of the building
will be finished to accomodate
the new county high school,
which will open this fall. Arl
ington deserves to be congratu
lated upon the enterprise shown
in erecting such a fine new school
building.
The writer visited the Heppner
School hut week and checked up
the standardisation cards. The
high school receives the full
number of stars. Each of the
other rooms receive eleven of the
twelve stars. If they can i
range' to secure three features of
play apparatus before the end of
the term, titer will also receive
the full number of stars. The
.teachers and pupils are busy
rounding out the work of the
year. In some of the subjects
the regular work has been eom
pled, and the review is now under
way. The closing weeks of the
year are always stetraous weeks
for both teachers end pupils.

afternoon. There is an excellent
spirit among the members, sad
we may expect some excel lent
work. No doubt the exhibit at
