With the money from the special tax of the above district and that ex pected from the taxpayers in Morrow county, together with the money to be derived through state and federal aid, an excellent highway will be built.

NO. 12 AMERICAN LEOION IS TO GIVE TWO DANCES tuttia COUNTRY PRESS IS FARM ERS TRAVELING SALESMAN At the last regular meeting of the Amercan Legion It was voted by the organization to give two dances, one in Hermiston on December 12 and one In Stanfield on December 19. The music is going to be some- thing out of the ordinary, for an ef fort extraordinary is being made to secure a good orchestra or Jazz band from Portland that will put pep in the music and life in the dance. To these functions every- body is invited and assured a good time. Another thing of Interest to the community is the organization of a rifle club and the securing of gov ernment arms and ammunition. If this can be done the boys propose to fix up a permanent range and ar range for several good matches at different times during the coming year that will be worth while at tending. Among the ranks of the Legion are a number of sharpshoot- ers and expert riflemen, and Hiere seems to be no reason why the Her miston Post cannot have a winning team. James Todd was unanimously elected to fill the vacancy on the executive committee. The Legion has almost every ex- service man's name on the rolls nt the present time, but those few who have not joined are urged to sign up light away and get into the great est organization in America.
