Lunch was served at noon and after that every one proceeded to have a good time. The married and single men battled for several innings through a ball game but as the score was forgotten early In the contest it was decided a draw, with both sides claiming the victory by a wide margin. The teaching staff consisting of Ciauie Haddox, principal and Olea Slas and Fanny Todd teachers, were in charge of the picnic. Diplomas were given to seven eighth grade pupils who will enter the union high school next term.

The Irrigon public schools closed May 20 after a very successful year. There have been many improvements made in teaching methods and in the school plan. Mr. Hoisington, principal, has used every effort tow ard bringing the educational stand ard of the school to a fine point of perfection. A plan >f supervised study has been instituted and like wise the project method. This has been used especially in the grades Mrs. Alma Greaves, intermediate teacher, has done considerable ex perimental work In socialised reci tation with very gratifying results. The primary room under the direct ion of Miss Effie Renfro has been equipped with every modern teaching device used and approved by the beet experimental schools. An improve ment feature of this room is a new primary library with more than SO books which are of interest to little folks. Tbs seventh and eighth grades taught by Mrs. C. C. Barker have likewise added much new equip ment in the way of library books and model testing devices. The high school this year has added a commer cial curriculum of shorthand, typing and book keeping. In addition to all this, the echool for the first time has taught a course In dramatics and has successfully presented a number of high grade plays under the direction of Miss Marie Hovee. The high school library has added more than 100 volumes >f the books approved by the state u u r se of study. Also the school board has purchased a complete set of Compton'e Pictured Encyclopedias. Prior to this year there has never been hot water in the building and the board appropriated ever *300 to put In this much need ed improvement. Shower baths wer? lied and each room has a day lach week set aside for tak- ng baths in the pro- er way. Particular attentioa ha, been paid toward health work In the school and owing to the fact that Irrigon has no resident physician there has been placed In the school a total line of first aid equipment. Under the direction of the county health nurse all of the children In the school were given a dental ex amination through the courtesy of Dr. Prime of Hermiston. Music is the paramount extra curricular activity of the Irrigon schools. A unique feature is that each pupil in the school owns his own musical instrument end takes regular instruction In band work.

Through her efforts this hand has reached a high stats of perfection and has been fully uniformed with Scotch Kelty uniforms.

K e llo g g ’s Corn F lak es an d P ost T o a sties WHY ADVERTISING Some individuals hold adam ant to the belief that adver tising is a waste of effort, time and money, but the fallacy of this belief is clearly discernible when one contemplates the vast change in the life of the average individual since advertising came into existence. An analysis and review of the life of the average American citizen will prove be yond the shadow of a doubt that advertising has bettered his standard of living, and that which benefits is worth its cost. This refutes the’ opinion that advertising does not pay. Day by day advertising is changing our mode of living, and it will continue to do so. This gradual change in our habits creeps upon us unaw&res, and it is only when our at tention is specifically called to some change that we real ize just what has happened. Now if we look into the history of the business organ izations responsible for the change, we find them to have grown prosperous. Quietly ana consistently the manu facturers of the products represented by such an industry have kept their advertising before the consuming public. In good years and in bad the news stories of their pro ducts in the form of advertisements have directly and in directly impressed new desires and wants in the minds of the consumers. The impression of their products through advertising has resulted in sales and profits to the manu facturers. Of course in lean years, their sales volume may not have reached the previous high mark, but never for an instant wasXhe public allowed to forget, and this naturally meant that when money was available with which to purchase these commodities, those manufacturers and merchants whose advertising had continually appeared received the business. JS. Those le advertisers who had droi dropped by the wayside by the use of periodic advertising or by spending a large sum at irregular gular intervals, could not overcome the consumer preference built up by those who had kept their advertis ing consistently before the buyer.
