CENTRAL POINT. Dee. 7. The
work of erectiug the new gymnasium
is progressing quite rapidly, to this
time, and if the weather continues as
I favorable as it has been for 'Working
I conditions the building will be finish
led within' a month, probably less. The
j contractors, F. Clark and F. Southwell,
ibave been rushing the work right
along, till now the' walls are boarded,
the Inner stage partly made ready for
completion, and the supports for the
floor laid. The . gymnasium, when
completed will be a very well appear
ing building and a credit to the city.
The Central Point High school com
bination football team Journeyed once
more to Rogue river, where they met
the team of that city in a very inter
, estlng and exciting game of succer.
: This was - a post season game. ' The
'outcome was very different than the
; two previous clashes, which were in
favor of Rogue river, but this time the
tide turned and Central Point carried
the honors with a score of nine to
five, the local team having the lead
throughout the entire game. Although
the team did not manage to carry off
the championship, they made a good,
a- very good Bhowing indeed. Basket
ball training has already started off,
undoubtedly all the honors of that
Hport will be held by this school at the
close of this season,
'Mrs. Smith, a representative of 'an
art Institute, presented the student
body of the high school with an ad-
idrnss upon the principles of paints

dents, so that they would start to
think more of that field. Secondar
ily so they might, attend her classes
to be given here this summer, during!
the month of June from the 8th to the
12th. j

anted by Mr. and Mrs. Cummlnga for
the past four or five years, was mov
1 ed from the corner of Pine and Fourth

'the corner It formerly occupied might
be used for the new service Btatlon to
be erected, there soon by Kenneth
Beebe and Merle Kindle, the proprie
tors of. the Central Point Service sta
; Hon on West Main Btreet. The cor
ner will be ideal for just such an es
tablishment in all senses of the word
as it is the best corner in the city.

be gone from our midst, but never for

connected, that Is the pottery unit,,

other things. They have been turning'
out some very fine specimens such as

Miss Carlton presented an address
before the student body of the. local
school concerning the sale of Christ
mas Seals in this community during
the coming weeks before Christmas.
She' requested that the high school
students take charge of the sale and
carry It on In the city, along with the
help of the grades. . No other cause
deserves more support than this,
which does so much to alleviate the
suffering among the sick and needy of
tho land and within the community.
She cited facts that had already been
done to stamp the dread scourge of
tuberculosis out of existence, all made
possible through the sale of the seals.
A goal has been set for which to work,
It is a prize to the person who sells the
most seals and no doubt through this
a great number- will be distributed
throughout t the community. Every
body should give this their most hear
ty support .
" The ticket sale has started for the
presentation of the play "Nothing But
the Truth," to be given on the four
teenth of this month. It will he pre
sented by the Alumni along with the
help of several high school students.
The plot is very Interesting and cen
ters about the fact that a man has
been give na large sum of money If
he would only tell nothing but the
truth for a certain length of time. The
situations "arising from this, form the
action of the play. T-he proceeds of
it will be given to the gymnasium
fund, for the equipping of the same.
The prices have been moderately
placed.

dom, that when it does ring it sounds
like ' forgotten ' muBlc. -However, on
Wednesday, It ' rang to spread the
alarm of fire at the home of Mr.
George ' Marine. Of dangerous nature
it was not. but If It had not been dis
covered serious results . would have
have ensued. As It was only the flue

partment arrived -on the scene, the
hose was not even coupled to tho hy
drant, in such an efficient wanner dlti
the company work, after a short time
all danger was past In the matter of
fires the elly is very fortunate, few oc
