Some of tho 'numbers won many high compliments mih the address by Rev. Lawrence was greatly en joyed by everyone. Some of the good points dwelt upon throughout his talk were the importance of the preservation of health, learning to think, and tackling worthy, but un popular issues. ; As a result of the 'community his tory contest given by the county, one of our high school freshman girls, Frances Wilson, won a prize of threo dollars. From the report of our paper, this was the only high School pupil who entered the contest. This contest necessitated considerable work and it is thought by some that the compensation for the work is rather small. In this - instance it is reported the cost of photographs produced amounted to almost the amount of the prize. Nevertheless, it is a fine experience for young people and we believe the material value is well worth the time and work of producing the' history.

Fisher were very happily surprised to see him make his sudden appearance among us Tuesday with his truck load of household goods. Mr. Fisher left here almost three years ago for his wife s health, and they have made Portland their home over since. Mrs. Fisher has improved very slowly and owing to a homesick fooling for Sams Valley, is returning to her home here, she will remain in Med ford until Mr. Fisher cets the home in readiness. In reviewing our school year we believe it has altogether been a very successful one.

But "nobody else ever knew "Wellman's "Method" until we acquired it and went back to it in making Granger Rough Cut. It's an"old-fashioned" method, yes, but slow as it is, and costly, too we have found no other process that brings tobacco to the same full, rich "rounded-W" mellowness.
