THIS NEW YEAR OF OUR LORD.
Let byganes be byganes,
Wha's huffed at anither
Dinna cloot the auld days
And the new anes thegither ;
Wi' the fauts and the failing
0' past years be dune,
Wi' a grip o' fresh freen'ship
A New Year begin.
So sang a Scot. Beneath the burr of his High
land tongue the meaning of some of the words
may be obscured, but the meaning of the verse
as a whole is plain enough.
Let bygones be bygones. The year of 1926
goes to join in history the years that have gone
before. Throw away the hatchet along with
the 1926 calendar.
With the faults and the failings of past years
be done. This is another year.
Begin it with a grip of fresh friendship.

Miss Frances Parker, teacher of
Hurricane school near Joseph, Ore
gon, arrived home Saturday evening
to spend the holidays with her par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. F. S. Parker. A
blockade of the highway between
Minam and Elgin caused trouble
which delayed the arrival of Miss
Parker a day. There has been a very
heavy fall of snow in that part of the
state and the highway crews are busy
keeping the road in shape so that the
traffic can move without serious delay.
Mr. and Mrs. John Clouston drove
down from their home at Pomeroy,
Wash., on Friday, and were guests
until Monday afternoon at the home
of Mrs.-Clouston's parents, Mr. and
Mrs. S. P. Dovin. In getting to Hepp
ner they were somewhat delayed by
heavy snowdrifts on the highway be
tween Weston and Athena, otherwise
ihe trip was quite pleasant.
Mrs. A. M. Phelps, who was recently
tailed to Marion, Iowa, by the illness

so after she arrived at her bedside.

pelled to return to his work on Tues
day, after enjoying several days with
his parents, Mr. and Mrs, T. J, Hum
phreys. Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Huston took ad
vantage of the Christmas holiday and
traveled to Portland, where they spent

LEXINGTON.
Son Recommended for Appointment.
Mrs. Ola Ward is in receipt of word
from 0. A. C. stating that her son,
Dallas Ward, has been recommended
for appointment to West Point mili--ary
academy by Senator Stanfield.
This news, coming at the holiday
season filled Mrs. Ward wuli jujt
pride, and this feeling is shared by
Morrow county people at large, who
are glad to know that a native son
has been thus honored. Dallas has
been making his own way at college,
and his college standing is high. He
also ranks high among the athletes
of the Northwest, and has but lecent
ly been appointed to the highest mil
itary position on the campus at 0. A.
C, that of cadet colonel, and is vice
president of the student body. Miss
Velle Ward, his sister, is also a stu
dent at 0. A. C. this year, majoring

School Gives Christmas Program.
On last Thursday afternoon the
Lexington school gave a very appro
priate Christmas program in the high

tive feature was a skit put on by Miss
Vail's first grade in which Billie Bur
chell, Keith Gntry. Freddie Wade and
Kenneth Thornburg sang in costume
representing respectively Old Uncle
Ned of the South, Mr. Cortez of
Spain, Harry Lauder of Scotland,

the Willamette valley; the Misses
Vail and Alexander for Baker and
Mra. Gerald White for Hermiston.

fortunate in having such a capable
high school force, and with the ad
dition of the muBic department this
year the school is equal to any of its
size.

fore part of the holiday week with

ner. Among our young people who are
