Hango will entertain the Ladies Aid at the next Silver Tea on March 7th, at the Hango home. The value of fire drills in public schools was again demonstrated last Wednesday. A passing motor ist noticed that the school house roof was afire and reported it to Mr. Barlow. A phone call to the school, the signal for a fire drill and in 3 minutes the building was empty and the blaze extinguished in short order. Damage1 was negligible. A Valentine party was held in the church last Wednesday. The room was effectively decorated in the Val entine motif. Games were played, an interesting talk on Patriotism and Missions was given by Mrs. Boardman, and Mesdames Allen. Messenger, Johnson and Boardman served a dainty lunch. W. A. Goodwin, who has been ill for the past year became worse and was taken to the hospital at Hepp- ner this week.

Both Mrs. Bennett and Mr. Edmunds own ranches here and are having the alfalfa seed threshed, having left the entire acreage for seed. Donald Bower, the small nephew of Mrs. Alec Warren, had his ton sils removed Friday at the Shriners' hospital. Donald, who has been crippled from birth, had an opera tion on his leg at the hospital some time ago and still reports there per iodically for examination. The Boardman boys' basketball team has acquired the habit of vic tory and the girls of defeat, and the game Friday night with lone was no departure from the general rule. The boys' game was a bit slow the first half but they pepped up tow ard the last and came out winners 28-13. There was no high point man, several having scored the same number of points. The girls' team was badly handicapped by the absence of Rachael Johnson, one of their best players and two of the other girls were just recovering from attacks of flu, so the score of 30-4 does not seem so portentious when one knows conditions. The next game will give basketball fans a real thrill for the teams will play Arlington on the home floor. This will be the last game on the Board man floor and it will also be a de ciding game. So far the boys have lost none of the league games. Clem Smith and wife departed on Sunday for their home in Seattle af ter a week's visit with Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Gross and family.

Proceeds will be used for the well to be drilled at the cemetery, which reminds us in writing up the his tory of Boardman recently we found it difficult to get many of the dates accurate because no record had been kept. This really is a grievous error for as the years pass the rec ords become of greater importance Apropos of records, we wonder if. any record has been kept of the dates, ages etc., of those sleeping in our local cemetery. We suggest that this be done if it has not al ready been looked after. Perhaps the secretary of the cemetery asso ciation could see to it.
