BOARDMAN
MKS. A. T. HEREIM, Correspondent
A remark by the writer in a pre
vious issue complimenting the work
of Dr. Gray and Miss Stallard and
adding the statement, "Boardman
rarely sees any of the county offi
cials with the exception of the al
ways obliging county agent except
around campaign time," was taken
as a criticism by county superinten
dent, Mrs. Lucy Rodgers. We regret
the fact that the statement might
imply that the county superinten
dent's office was included among
these, and our explanation lies in
the fact that we somehow do not
ordinarily think of this position as a
political one (nor should it be). The
work of Mrs. Rodgers is above re
proach and with her pleasing per
sonality she has made many friends
here. The basis of the remark was
the apparent grudging service given
by previous county physicians; of
the numerous errors in records,
causing much delay and annoyance
in connection with tax receipts and
the Federal Land Bank; tax state
ments sent to the original owner
after a deal had been made and re
corded of lots in town that at one
time had a warehouse on them be
ing taxed at the usual rate two or
three years after the warehouse had
been torn down and moved away, et
cetera, ad infinitum. Boardman
feels we should have a commission
er from this end of the county to
promote better understanding but
we are so outnumbered it is impos
sible. One reason ex-governor Pierce
was so popular in this precinct was
because he dropped in occasionally
and became acquainted with folks
and made us feel as though we were
more than a mere dot on the map.
Mrs. Rodgers has made several vis
its to the local school and we are
glad to say that there was no criti
cism implied or intended there.
Mr. and Mrs. Albert Macomber
and children of Condon were down
Sunday, visiting relatives.
Clarence Berger and sons have
moved back to their ranch on the
West End. The boys, Glen and
Richard, have been making their
home at the Leslie Packard home
during their father's absence. Mr.
Berger is relief operator for the O.
W. and is away much of the time.
Mr. and Mrs. John Graves and
baby and Mr. and Mrs. Shelby Grav
es and baby were over Sunday from
Lexington and visited at the Ward
Graves home.
Tom McEntire of Stanfield visited
his brother, John McEntire and
family, on the West End last week.
W. H. Mefford has been home
from the Valley for a short time.
He is getting located on his ranch
near Corvallis where the family will
move as soon as school closes.
Mrs. Ray Shane and Mrs. Robert
Wilson visited relatives on Willow
creek Thursday.
T. E. Broyles made a business trip
to Colfax, Wash., last week. He
met his daughter, Ethel, at Pendle
ton and she accompanied him.
The small son of Mr. and Mrs.
Adolf Skobo gave them a bad scare
recently when he drank kerosene
and almost strangled.
Robert Hutton, Durant salesman,
was a recent visitor at the Blayden
and Gorham homes. He is a brother-in-law
of Mrs. Louie Blayden of
Vale.
Boardman teachers attended in
stitute Friday at lone. They report
a very interesting program. Supt.
L. E. Marschat spoke on "Character
Education." A splendid exhibit of
work from various schools of the
county was a feature of the day.
The whooping cough epidemic has
practically subsided with no new
cases reported. Several of the
"whoopers" returned to school this
week after three and four weeks'
absence. Most of them attended
school for a week or two before it
was found they had whooping
cough. The inoculation helped some
but others seemed to have it just
as severely. It no doubt prevented
the further spread of the disease.
Echo Coats, Margaret Myers, Hil
ma Harju, Frances Skobo, Norman
Hango, Catherine Mead and Janet
Gorham have all had severe cases
of it
Mr. Wilbanks has done much
work on his ranch, leveled several
acres, planted trees and garden, and
Is getting it into fine shape.
Approximately 100 acres of mel
ons has been signed up with the
Irrigon association, for melons to
be grown on the project. Melons
are lots of work but produce very
prolifically here and bring better
returns per acre than most any
other crop.
Mrs J. M. Allen went to Portland
on Saturday, returning Sunday.
April 21 was Mrs. Robert Wlison's
birthday. She was pleased to have
Mrs. Mefford, Mrs. Root, Mrs. Al
bert Macomber and Mr. and Mrs.
Ray Shane with her for a birthday
dinner that day.
The Western Union baseball nine
again met defeat at the hands of
a team of locals, with a 7-3 score.
Mrs. D. W. Miller and Mrs. Mar
tha Titus gave a fine party for
Francis Titus on Saturday for his
11th birthday. Eleven boys attend-
ed and all had a fine time playing
games and partaking of a lovely
lunch.
Mrs. Miriam Campbell and Miss
Genevieve Fenton of Portland were
here Thursday, applying for post
tlona in the local school.
Robert Ncthercott had a bit of
hard luck Saturday when he fell
from a tree and broke one of the
bones In his ankle. He was taken
to Hermiston where he stayed for
a day or so.
Mrs. John Brlce came up this
week with her brother, Mr. Ed
munds of Ridgefleld, and visited

prise was complete and all had a
splendid time. There were four ta
bles of "500" with Miss Spike and
Eldon Wilson receiving high hon
ors and Mr. and Mrs. Marschat low.
Attending were Mr. and Mrs. Mar
schat, Mr. .and Mrs. Dillabough, Mr.
and Mrs. Kennedy, Misses Henry,
Spike, Gibbons, Johnson, Messrs.
Buster Rands, Alvin McCarty, Wil
son, R. Barlow, D. Johnson, Mr.
and Mrs. Brown and Miss Lela
Ware, a niece of Mrs. Wm. tSrobel.
John Brice and Earl Cramer have
a shearing plant and have been
shearing at the Jenkin's place. M.
Mulligans, Shanes, Farleys and Sle-
vins sheep were sheared there.
Home Economics club met last
Wednesday with Mrs. Wm. Strobel.
On Monday of last week the Fa-
lers had a house full of company.
A nephew and niece of Mr. Faler,
Strawn Spence and Mrs. Grace
Craw of Pennsylvania, Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Shriever of Lexington, Mr.
and Mrs. McNeil of Portland and
Gordon McNeil of Portland all par
took of a fine dinner. R. Wasmer
was also present.
Mr. and Mrs. Sharpe fo Portland
have a baby boy who arrived Sun
day, April 20. Mrs. Sharpe will be
remembered as Nellie Messenger.
The seniors took their Sneak Day
Wednesday, motoring to Pendleton
and Walla Walla. They were ac
companied by Miss Spike. The trip
was made in the Hango car. Seniors
are few in number this year, only
three, Willie Dillon, Linda Hango
and Oljve Meffofd.
Boardman has been without light
for over a week, much to the dis
comfiture of everyone. The gover
nor broke on the engine and repairs
had to be ordered from the factory.
A number of ranchers met Satur
day night at Root hall to discuss
the question of establishing a coop
erative feed store here. Since Board-
man purchases approximately 50
tons of feed each month with a cost
for transportation varying from 18
to 25 cents a hundred it has been
felt for some time that by purchas
ing in carload lots the business
might be handled at Boardman in
stead of the Farm Bureau at Her
miston and transportation saved.
Nels Kristensen, Paul M. Smith, I.
Skoubo, Ed Souders and A. W. Por
ter were elected directors. The rail
road will lease land for the erection
of a building, at $1 a year. The pos
sibility of erecting a building of
sheet iron, that of renting one of
the Murchie buildings, that of rent
ing the Phelps-Voyen building, have
all been discussed but just what
will be done rests with the direc
tors. Boardman's experience with
cooperatives has been sad, the
cheese factory, the hay growers and
more recently the turkey growers
association, all carry a tale of lack
of cooperation, and it is sincerely
to be hoped that If this feed store
becomes a reality that local farmers
will patronize it, for there Is no
question that cooperation must be
come an assured fact before things
will take a turn for the better on
the project.
Mrs. Raymond Shane who Is lead
er of the Boys' Camp Cooking club
took a group to the river Saturday
where they were initiated Into the
mysteries of baking bread over a
camp fire. All had a fine time and
are anticipating the next meeting
when they will fish and if successful
cook the fish. In case they have
the usual fisherman's luck, they will
have other "cats" with them.
Roy World, one of the shearers
In the Cramer crew, pretty badly
burned his lip when he fell against
the grinder Sunday. He was taken
to Hermiston for medical aid.
Spaglcs were guests at the Rands
home Sunday for dinner, after at
tending the ball game in the after
noon. Mr. and Mrs. Truman Messenger
are living In Pilot Rock where Mr.
Messenger has a position with the
Standard Oil company. Both the
children are ill with whooping
cough.
Oscar Sloan, a sheep shearer, was
brought before the city recorder, W.
A. Price, April 25, on a charge of
disorderly conduct and fined $10.
Sloan and his friends had been im
bibing too freely of Boardman's
"moon" which seems to be easily
accessible to those who desire it
We wonder if things couldn't be
cleaned up here. It is generally
known where the source of supply
is and it is often evident who uses
it. As we understand it if a man
carries the liquor within, he's safe.
He must carry it on his hip or in
the car. Well, there are several of
those. Let's try and have a clean
project a gentle suggestion that
the manufacturers cease their illicit
business or move to more desirable
pastures. Is it impossible?
Mrs. Marschat's pupils are greatly
interested in the six baby rabbits
that came to Molly and Peter Rab
bit.

raw potatoes cooked like French
fried. You can fry boiled potatoes
in thin slices with a little onion,
and thus make a sort of Lyonnaise
potato.
The point is, if the old potatoes
are not now very good and the new
potatoes are still expensive, to cook
the old ones in a way to bring out
their best points and minimize the
worst ones.
HOME POINTERS
(School of Home Economics, O. S. C.)
Time can often be saved when a
cake is to be made by taking the
shortening out of the refrigerator
several hours before time to use it
It will be easier both to measure
and to cream.
In a recipe which calls for only
one or two eggs, the eggs serve
largely to bind the ingredients, and
it makes little difference whether
the whites and yolks are separated
or not.
In a gas or electric range cakes
are often placed too high up in the
oven, thus causing acrust to form.
This prevents the interior from ex
panding to the fullest extent and re
sults in a cracked, uneven top. In
a wood range, too, it is usually best
to place the cake on the bottom of
the oven, at least"for the first of the
baking.
The wise hostess chooses a menu
which she can serve to the best ad
vantage with the equipment she has
available.
There are many ways of adding
just a slight touch of color to the
food to make it more attractive.
Among the materials which can be
used for this purpose are pimiento,
green peppers, paprika, pickles, ol
ives, radishes, cherries, candied
fruit, and candied fruit peel.
A very pleasing fruit cocktail is
made by using sections of grape
fruit and a mint syrup which has
been colored green

heat the diced or sliced potatoes in
the sauce. Another is to dice the
potatoes, roll them in flour and then
heat in a double boiler in milk to
cover them. The flour thickens the
milk. Both- sorts should be well
seasoned.
Creamed Potatoes
Creamed potatose may then be
poured into a buttered, shallow dish
and browned a few moments in the
oven, or carefully, in the broiler. Or
they may be poured in to dish and
sprinkled with buttered bread
crumbs and grated cheese and then
baked until they are brown. Minced
parsley may also be sprinkled over
creamed potatoes to add to their
taste and appearance.
Various sorts of fried potatoes
are tempting at this time of year.
You can French fry raw potatoes,
or pan fry boiled potatoes. You
can make latticed potatoes or Ger
man shoe strings that is, finely cut
Potatoes
At this time of year, when new
potatoes are not yet a matter of
course and old potatoes are perhaps
at their poorest, the clever cook
sees to it that there is much potato
variety. Whereas in a few weeks
plain boiled potatoes, dressed with
butter and parsley, will be served
perhaps every day, and whereas
mashed potatoes three months ago
may have been an almost daily oc
currence, this is the season for po
tato variety.
Scalloped Potatoes
Scalloped potatoes are one of the
best ways of serving them. There
are two good ways to scallop pota
toes. One is to slice them raw and
put them In a buttered baking dish
with a little flour sprinkled between
the layers. Then season them with
salt and pepper and butter, and
cover them with milk. Cook them
rather slowly for an hour in the
oven or until the potatoes are done.
The other way of scalloping them
Is to boil them and let them cool,
then chop them or cut them Into
small dice, put them in a buttered
dish, cover with milk, season well
and bake slowly until they are rich
and creamy and brown on top.
Creamed potatoes are also good
made of old ones. Again there are
seeral ways of cooking them. One
Is to make a good cream sauce and
