BOARDMAN
The Ladies Aid novelty minstrel,
"In the Olden, Golden Days," was
given Friday night at the high
school auditorium in spite of the
various handicaps and vicissitudes
which came up at the last moment.
Linda Hango who was to have play
ed for the minstrel was ill so Miss
Henry was to take her place and
she also became ill on Friday, but
Mrs. Lowell Spagle kindly helped
out at the last moment Mrs. Mar
schat, the leading soprano and Miss
Henry being unable to sing forced
several changes in the program and
their voices were indeed missed.
The audience graciously overlooked
all the deficiencies, however, and en
joyed the ludicrous costumes and
jokes of the minstrels. Had a prize
for the best costume been given, it
would have, undoubtedly, gone to
Mr. Marschat, who in his red dress,
silken veil, earrings, made the clev
erest darktown flapper, and he was
recognized by only a few until he
sang a solo number, "Sleep, Ken
tucky Babe," and the recognition
he received almost ruined the beau
tiful song as the giggles and roars
of laughter swept over the house.
Mrs. J. R. Johnson (Miss Amanda),
charming in an old-fashioned gown
of white with powdered hair, and
her brother, L. V. Root (Master
Ranny), in colonial costume, were
entertained by the negroes in honor
of Miss Amanda's birthday. Mrs.
Nate Macomber was 'Mammy," Ba
sil Pramer and Mary Chaffee were
the twins with their quarreling and
their jokes and their dance; little
Clara Mae Dillon made a darling
little pickaninny and sang "Mam
my's Little Coal Black Rose." Vic
tor Hango and Ray Barlow were
there with their tall silk hats and
dignified air; Nate Macomber and
F. A. Fortier made two good enii
men; Mrs. Claude Coats and Mrs.
Fortier had a good line of patter;
Mrs. Gorham and Mr. Fortier gave
a talking duet, "You're the Cream
in My Coffee;" Mrs. Humphrey and
Mrs. -Coats sang "Hushaby My Ba
by." Norma Gibbons took Mrs.
Marschat's speaking part without
ever having practiced. Mr. Marschat
sang two numbers, "Carolina Moon"
and "Sleep Kentucky Babe." The
prelude consisted of a recitation by
Norma Gibbons, a line of patter by
Norma and Ray Barlow, Ray hav
ing received the part about an hour
previous as Miss Henry was to have
taken it, and a pantomime, "Old
Black Joe," by Nate Macomber,
with the men's chorus singing the
. music off stage. Mrs. W. O. King
made the curtain speech. The pro
gram closed with several little
skits and songs. Brice Dillabough
sang "Sonny Boy"; the cake walk
by Mrs. Coats and Mr. Fortier and
the banjo, guitar and mouth harp
selections by Mr. Macomber, Victor
Hango and Ray Barlow with Mr.
Fortier doing some gymnastic uke
lele playing; rhymes by Mrs. Hum
phrey and a clever little closing
rhyme written by Mrs. King was
given by Mrs. Fortier, before the
last song, "Mammy's Lullaby," con
cluded the first home talent min
strel ever given in Boardman. Mrs.
E. T. Messenger had charge of the
decorations which were very pretty,
Mrs. Gorham, Mrs. Fortier and Mrs.
Hereim were the members of the
social committee who planned and
arranged the entertainment

A sudden attack of indigestion
accompanied by a bad nightmare
on the part of W. O. King early
Thursday morning created some ex
citement and a hurried call for a
doctor later was cancelled when
he failed to recognize members of
the family and blood came from his
mouth. Mrs. King became alarm
ed and feared he had an attack of
ptomaine poisoning. It was found
later that he had bitten his cheek
and that some apples eaten just be
fore bed time had caused the in
digestion. A dull headache the fol
lowing day and some good natured
chaffing on the part of his friends
was the aftermath, everyone being
indeed glad that it was merely a
false alarm.
Helen Gross, the six year old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Gross

There was some genuine excite
ment in the region of the Alpine
high school last Monday. Since this
is the spring of the year, everybody
likes to forget about school and
books; besides, the weather was so
temptingly warm that everyone ag
reed that playing "hooky" was ex
actly the thing to do. Seven stu
dents "piled" into the Ford touring
car owned by Gertrude Tichenor,
a student of Alpine. They started
out with no destination In view.
Someway the car got started north
and it wasn't long until these ad-ventue-seeking
miscreants found
themselves surrounded by cactus,
sand and sagebrush, over near Fin
ley's Siding. With six lively young
people to push through the ever-
present sand dunes it was but a
short while until they entered Uma
tilla. Not thinking the lark a com
plete success until the had visited
Mrs. Warner who formerly taught
at Alpine, they drove on to Irrigon
where she lives. Their next move
was to Hermiston where they rav
enously devoured some sandwiches
and candy. Sand was in their
shoes, cactus was in their feet, and
a. hole was in an innertube which
of course isn't so extremely funny,
but everyone accepted It as part of
the game. When one plays hooky
he must expect the bitter with the
sweet, which gives those students a
grateful feeling. They parted about
six o'clock in the evening in the
best of spirits despite the fact that
they were very tired and sunburned.
J. D. Cash, Penney Mgr.,
Cites New Relationship
The close relationship between
the ultimate buyer and the great
business concern which serves him
was emphasized at the spring con
vention of the J. C. Penney com
pany at Portland, from which he
has just returned, asserts J. D.
Cash, local manager.
"It was the keynote of the bus
iness sessions. All the men who
spoke dwelt upon the fact that cus
tomers are entitled to know about
the organization from whom they
buy and that these organizations
are giving them all the facts.
"Anyone, from the printed details
which the leading corporations al
ways have available, can learn the
policies and ideals of any big com
pany in a short time.
"The news press throughout the
country has immediate access to
the facts regarding any large cor
poration that is definitely on the
road to win and maintain public
confidence.
"Officers and directors are realiz
ing thatthe big boss in every bus
iness Is the buying public and our
own officials stated this very clear
ly at the convention."
One hundred J. C. Penney store
managers were present In Portland
during the convention which is one
of fourteen that are being held over
the country this month.

Making the Mo
of It
We should all make the most of
our TIME, our TALENTS, our OP
PORTUNITIES, our ADVAN
TAGES. That is real thrift.
The railroad succeeded the stage
coach in order to save time. Today
it is possible to cross the continent in
less than two days, by airplane. More '
time saved. It is just as important to
save money as it is to save time. In
fact, saving time means saving mon-.
ey. But money is never really saved
unless deposited in a good, reliable
bank like ours, subject to check
but SAFE.
