IN OREGON HOMES "ADVENTURES OF A SHIRT." The following story, "Adventures of a Shirt" was written by Miriam Hale, eighth grade pupil in the lone schools, as a part of her school work: Howdy, folks; I'm what's left of a red silk shirt I was pretty when I was young, but I think by the looks of me now, anyway, that I was young many long years ago. My adventures started when I was bought from a little store in a small Texas town. I was bought by a young cowpuncher to wear in the rodeo. As I was pretty expensive, I was only worn on special occa sions, such as the rodeo or when my master went to see his girl. I sure learned lots the first time I was worn, about how to ride bucking horses, bulldog steers, rope calves, etc. My master was a very good rider and we won many prizes but of course we never got conceit ed or anything, that wouldn't do at all. The first time I went with him to see his girl, we had lots of fun. Of course, we did every time for that matter, but being the first, that was the one impressed on my memory the most We, my master, his girl, and I, went riding over the range together. We went clear up on top of a hill and looked all over the valley. It sure was pretty scenery. The girl was pretty, too. Towards sundown we went back to the girl's house again, and stayed 'till her father kicked us out When we were home I was laid carefully away again. I was worn many other times too, too many to tell about, but one day my master was fired and he forgot to take me with him. I stayed in my old place until one day a poor gypsy woman came, begging for something to eat and to wear. The "boss" was a kind hearted man and while searching for something to give her, he found me, so he gave me to her. I didn't like my new life so well at first but soon became accustom ed to it and began to like it It was much better than being packed away all the time anyway. The first time I was worn here was at a wedding. It reminded me of my old master and his girl, but I had no time to think of that now. I must look my best If I wanted to make a good hit But it appeared I had already done that, because everyone was looking at me and admiring me, for you see my other master had taken good care of me and I was still very pretty. After the wedding, there was dancing and I was haunted for days by the sweet wailing music and wild, beautiful dancing of the gyp sies. I soon got used to that, too, but I always liked It. I was worn many times until I was worn out, but my master still keeps me to remember his wedding day by. OLD TIMER VISITS. The election day just passed re minded Marvin E.

"First I used a good sandpaper and got my boards clean and smooth. I let the varnish dry thoroughly before ap plying the second and third coats and I used a very fine sandpaper lightly before each coat Now my boards are like glass and easily kept clean.
