The American Legion and auxil
iary fave their play "The Sky Riders"
on Saturday night at the school aud
itorium. For some reason, possibly
because there have been so many en
tertainments of late there was only
a small audience. Those who stayed
away missed an evening of laughter
and pleasure. The cast all played
their parts very well. It would be
difficult to say just who was best but
Mrs. Clyde Carr as Helen Brown
played her part in so realistic a man
ner that it left nothing to be desired.
Algernon Gordon Brown, an aviator
by necessity, was played by Nate Ma
comber. Nate has been in a great
many of the home talent plays and is
always good. Mrs. Macomber played
the part of his wife, Mrs. Brown, in
a very capable manner. Juliana
Brown, the other daughter, was play
ed by Flossie Officer. She was in
league with Teddy Nixon (Opplc Wag
ponor), wireless operator, and Horia
Saunders (Clyde Carr), a pseudo avi
ator. Koma, the Japanese valet, was
acted by Olive Mefford, whose "Yes.
Mees" brought some humorous mo
ments. A home talent play is always en
joyed and gives an evening of good
wholesome fun. A dance followed
with music by the Columbians of Ar
lington. A. Koski sold his ranch last week
to G. A. Harju of Weston. Koskis
have lived on the East End for the
past several years, having reclaimed
the land from the sagebrush as did
so many of the other pioneers. Mr.
Koski is the father of Mrs. Olson
and Mrs. Hango. Mr. Harju purchas
ed the stock on the place and will
continue in the dairy business. They
are milking about 12 head of cows
at present. Mr. and Mrs. Koski and
Ed Salmen left this week for Port
land and Astoria where they will look
over that section with a view to lo
cating. The Harjus are Finnish peo
ple and have five children, four of
whom will enter school here in the
fall.
Mardell and Janet Gorham are re
covering from a siege of mumps.
Mrs. Katherine Mulkey went to
Portland Friday night to spend the
week-end with her husband. Sunday
was the date of their first wedding
anniversary.

from Pendleton where he has been
employed by the state highway de
partment. He will -work nearer home
for a time.
Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Price are vis
iting here at the W. A. Price home.
Probably the most interesting news
of the week was the marriage on
Wednesday, May 5, at Heppner, of
Leita Barlow and Truman Messenger,
two of the young people of this com
munity. Judge Benge performed the
. ceremony. Mrs. Messenger is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bar

vice station. She came here with
her parents last fall from Heppner
where she had spent her childhood.
She is a junior in the Boardman high
school. The groom is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. E. T. Messenger and a grad
uate of the Boardman high school.
He is employed by the state high
way department and is stationed at
Pendleton at the present time. Con
gratulations are extended.
A letter from Miss Stella M. Ar
buthnot, who with her brother was a
guest at the Hereim home two years
ago, tells of the thrilling experiences
from the recent oil fires at San Luis
Obispo, Calif. The Arbuthnots lived
just three quarters of a mile from
the oil tanks which burned and were
acquainted with the two persons who
v. ere killed when one of the tanks
exploded. She stated that Mr. Suber,
one of the men killed, refused to
move even though the Union Oil com
pany sent a truck to move them.
When the explosion came the house
was blown to pieces and Mr. Suber
and son were killed, a daughter in
jured. Miss Arbuthnot stated that
they had their things packed ready
to move on a moment's notice. She
said also that it was a wonderful sight
to see, but once in a lifetime was en
ough. Hugo Koski left Sunday for Pen

of Portland and Arthur Mefford and
Charles Knowlton and wife were all
present, as were Mr. and Mrs. Albert
Macomber and the L. V. Roots.
The beautiful roses which covered
the footlights on Saturday night at
the play were later used in a very
appropriate way. A child had passed
away at Roosevelt and one of the
musicians from Arlington took them
with her to be used at the funeral
held on Sunday.

at the R. S. Davis home on Saturday

Mrs. Richard Dingman received a
beautiful dwarf rose covered with

Of course you will give
Jewelry for Graduation
because no graduation is complete without a token of
appreciation and admiration of that first success of Life
and because there is nothing like jewelry for perman
ency and lasting satisfaction. Nor is there anything that
may be given to the graduate that will develop greater
appreciation. These suggestions may help you in your
selections.
