BOARDMAN
MRS. A. T. HBREIM. Correspondent
Friday evening a Sunday school
class party was held at the church
in charge of the teacher, Mrs. Mes
senger who has the Bible class. About
35 were present and all listened in
tently to the excellent program made
up of musical selections, songs, read
ings and several interesting talks by
various persons. The church was
beautifully decorated with loads of
chrysanthemums which were grown
by Mrs. Messenger. After the pro
gram some games were played and la
ter a lunch was served.
Dr. Nuggard of Portland came up
Saturday and visited over Sunday at
the Fred Kelly home.
Mr. Roach, the new owner of the
Cash Mercantile store, came Friday
and is stopping at the Highway Inn.
He is from Madras. Inventory will
be taken this week.
Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Hereim and sons
were guests Sunday at the Glen Had
ley home at a delicious dinner.
One of the cows belonging to Mr.
Ellis on the East End gave birth to
twin heifer calves last week.
Nellie' Messenger was 18 years old
011 Saturday, so a pleasant surprise
party was planned for her and suc
cessfully carried out. A jolly group
of young people gathered at the Mes
senger home and the evening passed
t.11 too quickly witTi games of various
kinds. A dainty luncheon was served
late in the evening.
Dates, dates, dates, so mnay dates
to remember that one almost needs a
date book. On Nov. 23 Mrs. Bancroft
will be at the church and will speak
in the afternoon. A "pot luck" sup
per will be enjoyed in the evening
and Mrs. Bancroft will again speak
in the evening. Dee. 3 is the date for
the annual bazaar given by the La
dies Aid.
Boardman friends of Eugene Cum
ins are sorry to hear that he has been
confined to his bed for about nine
weeks but is now able to sit up for
a short while each day. Mr. and Mrs.
Cumins are pioneers of the project
who are now making their home with
a daughter, .Mrs. Jones, at Yamhill.
Ore. j
Geo. Mefford and family of Port
land spent Sunday of last week with
home folks.
Nov. 9 was the date for the election
of one member of the board of direc
tors for the irrigation district of the
. west end.
A great many Boardman people mo-
tored to Maryhill last Wednesday to
get a glimpse of Queen Marie. All saw
her and pronounced her very gracious
and smiling, Princess Illeana charm
ing, and say that Prince Nicholas
looked "bored to death" and super
cilious. All were greatly disappoint
ed in the famous castle of Mr. Hill's
and stated that it was merely a huge
pile of cement, lacking in beauty, un
finished, bleak looking and with
t nothing to commend it except the
marvelous "view" it affords. The
high school student body went over
and all enjoyed the trip, and it is
probably that it is the one and only
opportunity they will ever have to
see a real honest to goodness queen,
for each year they are becoming less
fashionable and more often are the
Mussolinis and Pilsudskis coming in
to power and their consorts are not
called queens.
Ralph Davis took a number of snap
shots at the Fair in September and
some of them were excellent. The
view of the flower table and of the
fruit and vegetables were exception-
eily clear cut and would make splen-'
did enlargements which would be good
advertisements of our products. ,We
wonder if it would be possible to use
any of the fair fund for this purpose.
If not possibly a number of enter
prising citizens could create a fund
for this purpose. If Boardman boast
ed a chamber of commerce office these
pictures would be ideal for that place
but they would make a mighty good
showing on the walls of the school
hallways where the fair is held each
year.
Mrs. Fred Kelly entertained a group
of friends- at one o'clock luncheon
Thursday.
Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Ping, former
residents of Pittsburg, Kans., but now
living in Portland, wre recent visit
ors at the R. McCarter home. Mr.
Pr.g is Mr. McCarter's uncle and 21
years had passed since last they met.
Mrs. L. C. Cooney spent several
days in Condon last week.
Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Brown of Waits
burg, Wash., were visitors at the
home of their son Ray Brown and
family for several days last week.
Mr. and Mrs. Wendell Noe of Port
land stopped for a short visit with
the J. F. Barlow family recently on
The C. G. Blayden house has been
their way to Spokane,
painted and a pergola added to the
east side.
Anrther room is being added to the
house of Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Fortier.
Mrs. James Carty returned to her
home last Thursday. Mrs. Carty has
been taking medical treatment for
some time. The Cartys live about 13
miles out from Boardman but have
many friends here.
Mis. Claude Coats and daughter
Echo and Mrs. Gillespie of Oregon
City motored up to spend Saturday
and Sunday with their parents, Mr.
and Mrs. J. F. Barlow, last week. On
Saturday Mrs. Cox and children upent
the day with her parents and sisters
and all had a most delightful visit.
Mr. Carpenter of Irrigon spent two
weeks at the McCarter home recently.
Jess Lower and his father were
guests at the N. W. Broome home for
dinner on Tuesday night. It is re
ported that Jess has rented his place
and he and his father are leaving.
Mrs. Laura Davis is again at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. R. Mc
Carter, after an extended visit at
Hood River. V
Saturday afternoon, Oct. 30, Irene
Cox gave a little party in honor of
her cousin, Echo Coats of Oregon
City. The children had a merry time
but of course the best part of the
party was the dainty luncheon served
b) Mrs. Cox. Dainty little Hallowe'en
favors were given each of the chil
dren who were Irene, Dale and Jesse
Cox, Janet Gorham, Echo Coats, and
A. T. Hereim, Jr.
A great many Boardmanites turned
tut last Tuesday to do their duty as
citizens at the polls.
A Thanksgiving program will be
given at the schoolhouse. This will
be quite simple as efforts are centered
n the Christmas program which will
be more elaborate.
Miss Alice Falk went to Portland
a.id Salem for the week end. Miss
Falk is the English teacher and her
home is in Salem.
Much interest is being manifested
in the proposed night school and a
fair sized enrollment is anticipated.
Just what subjects will be given is
i-ot definitely decided upon but writ
ii.g, English, civics, typing, commer
cial arithmetic and spelling will prob
i bly be offered. In addition to this a
course will be offered for those who
desire to become naturalized.
Mrs. Richard Dingman was a Gol
dendale visitor last week. She also
saw Queen Marie at Maryhill.
Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Davis enter
tained Mr. and Mrs. Porter at dinner
on Wednesday evening.
Mrs. Helen M. Walker, county su
perintendent, and J. E. Calavan, state
;lub worker, visited the Boardman
school Wednesday.
Let us abandon this slowly expir
ing P. T. A. The first meeting two
patrons attended and all teachers; the
next meeting we did a little better
and four patrons were present. It
isn't necessary to hold these meetings
for the teachers as they hold their
regular weekly teachers' meeting and
if no greater interest can be aroused
we suggest that we use the fabulous
sum in the treasury for the erection
of a gymnasium or some equally bene
ficial cause. Note: There is about
90c in the treasury at the present
time.
W. J. Turnidge of Portland was in
Boardman recently in the interests of
the Pacific Coast Mint Co. According
to. his card this company claims to
finance the farmer by furnishing him
roots and also distillery for the ex
traction of oil on a share basts. Pep
rermint growing is a good substantial
industry but the price fluctuates with
surprising rapidity. Last year mint
growers made a tidy fortune; this
year the price has not been very en
couraging. The growing of mint was
tried at Hermiston this year with
fair success although the distilling
was done at the creamery and the ma
chinery was not as satisfactory as
the regular equipment. There is land
about here that no doubt would be
well adapted to mint but a very damp
soil is required. ;
'Boardman hsa needed a gymnasium
for several years but because of the
indebtedness of tile district it has
not been feasible to erect one. Each
year the superintendent and faculty
have planned and cogitated upon
ways and means of furnishing a
place for the basketball games. One
year the Boardman garage was used
and spectators nearly froze to death
f s did the players between halves.
Last year the Murchie building was
rented for $37.50 a month and at the
end of the season the studentbody
had nothing to show for the money
expended. What seems to be the
most feasible plan so far advanced is
the one on which the students are
now working. A survey was made of
the project and although cash is a
scarce commodity the sum of $320
was pledged and 72 days' labor. It is
possible that some of the money in
the budget may be expended to add
to this amount and if so we could
have at least a good beginning. A good
floor is essential. A frame structure
36x60 is suggested. This vear the

expense of transportation was cut
from $4000 down to $1500 in the bud
get so it would seem that some of
this saving might be utilized for a
gymnasium. Nearly every one on the
project favors this. Only a few have
jpposed it and they are "conscientious
cbjectors" to everything.
GARDEN NEEDS FALL CLEAN-UP.
A fall clean-up of the garden is rec
ommended by the horticulture depart
ment of the Oregon Agricultural col
lege. The cutworm and spotted cu
cumber beetle tend to winter in cab
bage and cauliflower stalks and leaves.
Fall plowing buries the waste and
kills late summer weeds. Full action
of frost and rain is most thoroughly
obtained on ground not worked after
plowing unless a cover-crop is grown.
The garden, rough plowed in the fall,
is easily worked in the spring, does
rot pack excessively with winter rain,
presents a tidy appearance and ia in
excellent condition for the next sea
son's use.

Stop the Small Leaks.
The small sums that somehow or
other are spent so heedlessly aggre
gate a very considerable amount in
the course of a year.
Every great fortune has been
founded upon economy.
$3.00 deposited weekly at com
pound interest will amount to almost
$2,000.00 in ten years.
WHERE AM I GOING?
So many men are on their way but
the way is the wrong direction.
