BOARDMAN
MRS. A. T, HEREISt Correspondent
The January Stiver Tea was held
Wednesday at the home of Mrs.
Nick Faler with a large attendance.
A dainty luncheon was served by
Mrs. Faler and the assistant host
esses, Mesdames Cramer, Hend
ricks, Johnson, Kunze, Geo. Wick
lander and Porter. Final reports of
the talents were given. Mrs. E. T.
Messenger turned in her talents
amounting to $10, made by selling
preserves, jell, pickles, doing laun
dry and in various other ways. She
was given a good round of applause
for she turned in by far the largest
sum. Mrs. J. F. Barlow came sec
ond, her dollar having grown to
$4.50. It was voted to have a con
cert some time in February. On
January 24 Mrs. Robert Johnson of
Idaho will give an entertainment at
the sehoolhouse. Mrs. Johnson is a
reader and impersonator and gives
a full evening's entertainment.
The missionary meeting will be
held at the home of Mrs. Root and
the next Silver Tea will be in charge
of Mrs. King's committee.
Chas. Dillon has purchased a new
Chevrolet truck at Pendleton.
The old Dodge car which seemed
so badly wrecked when W. O. King
skidded on the icy pavement, was
fixed up so he was able to drive it
home that night. There seems to
have been no bad results from the
accident Francine was in the hos
pital for three days lest complica
tions occur. Tout several x-rays show
ed no broken bones. The car turned
over on her but she was lucky as
were the rest of them.
The Home Economics club met at
the home of Mrs. I. Skoubo on Wed
nesday. A fine feast was enjoyed,
followed by a business meeting.
The Falers were guests at the O.
H. Warner home at a fine dinner on
Sunday.
A crew is working at Messner
putting block signals in the yard.
This work will take about two
weeks, it is estimated.
Mr. and Mrs. Bickford and Mr.
and Mrs. Hedgren of La Grande
were here for several days last
week on business. They camped in
the old house on the Brice place
occupied by the Pruters years ago.
The Hedgrens own the ranch farm
ed by the Bates' whose house was
destroyed by fire on New Years day.
Mrs. Maggie Farley and Willie
Doherty of Willow creek were vis
itors at the Pete Farley home on
Sunday.
A petition has been circulated and
presented to A. C. Houghton, the
project manager, asking that the
expenses of the irrigation district
be cut down as far as feasible. A
few favored the elimination of the
sinking fund. This might be a good
plan, provided a catastrophe never
occurs, but if a bad break ini the
ditch or some other unforseen dis
aster befell the irrigation system it
would be a good plan to have a
reserve fund on hand.
The Bridge club members each
gave Mrs. H. E. Bates a gift at their
last meeting.
The Adolph Skoubo family were
guests Sunday at the L. C. Cooney
home, at a lovely dinner.
Mrs. Glen Hadley has been ill
with a siege of flu for several days.
The Helomala Bridge club enter
tained their husbands and a few
friends at bridge Friday night at
the Sundstand home at Coyote. A
number of the members were un
able to attend, so others substituted
for them. Mrs. Nick Faler won high
for the ladies and Mr. Sundstand
for the men. Members and their
husbands present were Coats, Den
son, Faler, Brown, Lewis, Sund
stand and Shannon. Others attend
ing were Guy Barlows, Dillaboughs,
Tom Hendricks, Bottemillers, Miss
Katherine Brown, Hattie Scholtz,
Orval Shannon and Mrs. Denson's
son who was here from La Grande.
The Surface family who have
rented the Broyles place on the
West End, have taken a long chance
in a gamble with old man Weather
and mother Nature and have plant
ed an acre of potatoes. Whether it
will be a case of "love's labor lost"
or a successful venture depends on
the weather. If the plants are not
frozen it might mean a tidy sum of
money to get an acre of potatoes
on such an early market
The H. E. club is sponsoring the
coming of Miss Sinnard of O. S. C.
who will be here January 27 to as
sist the women with their make
over problems in the same manner
as did Mrs. Mack two years ago.
Every woman on the project who
has garments she wishes to make
over is urged to come. Have your
garment ripped, cleaned and press
ed ready for Miss Sinnard's help.

ities large and small is subject to
sporadic epidemics and the prevail

a loathsome and decidedly unpleas

the school concerning the treatment.
There is some Impetigo in the school
also.

When a worm turns,
it is usually to get in
structions from the
back seat.
Which reminds us of
the story of two sail
ors arrested for drun
ken driving. W h e nl
brought before the
judge and asked who
was driving, they re
plied, "Neither one of
us, we were both in
the back seat."
Not so long ago an
other prophet was pre
dicting a hard and
cold winter as the
squirrels had a lot of
nuts gathered. Ho
hum.
The only thing we
can offer is to play
safe and keep the bin
full of Tum-A-Lump
the buyword for good
coal.
"Wheat will have o
have a value of 26.5
cents per bushel be
fore It can be burned
as cheaply as coal." So
says a professor at W.
S. C. This was figur
ed out on the basis of
heat given per pound
of material burned. It
takes 122.5 pounds of
wheat to give the
same amount of heat
as 76.8 pounds of coal.
On this basis we will
gladly trade coal for
wheat.
The man who dou
bles up with mirth
when a woman has
difficulty in driving
through a ten-foot
garage door usually
sobers up when he
tries to thread a needle.
"I don't care what
you think; we want to
know what you know,"
shouted the lawyer.
" Well, I may as well
get off the stand then,"
said the witness. "I
can't talk without
thinking. I ain't no
lawyer."
Lumber prices have
dropped and boy, oh
boy, what a drop.
There never was a bet
ter time to do new
building and repair
work. Let's talk about
it "We like to help
folks build."
Now one of the cit
ies prominent weather
prophets predicts a
light winter, as the
geese are flying north.
