A FIImsy Claim.

The Oregonian says: while the
Oregon Agricultural College boys
claim the championship of the state,
it is hardly probable that public
opinions will bear them out in their
claims. There is no denying the fact
that the Farmers" have strong
team, probably as strong as any in
the state, but their absolute refusal to
come into the league has prevented
their meeting any Of the strong teams.
The "Aggies" won nearly every game
while on their Northern tour last
Winter, but Dallas has met defeat
only once, and has played the very
best teams in the State of Oregon.
When the league was formed it was
agreed that the winners Of the
championship should ignore the
claims OF the Farmers" TO champion
ship honors, and should refuse to play
them. Therefore, it is not probable
that Dallas and o. A. G. will meet for
a championship series this season"

DALLAS WINS FINAL GAME
Turns Tables on Fast Multnomah
Team by Decisive Score of
80 TO 10.


Nineteen baskets from the field and
one from the foul line. Such was the
remarkable score made by the Dallas
College basketball team In the last
league game of the season Saturday
evening, when the fast Multnomah
team was defeated by score of 80 to
10. A large crowd Of spectators wit
messed the closing game, which was
one OF the fastest and cleanest contests
ever pulled off on the local floor. The
Portland boys made a heroic struggle
for victory, but were clearly outclassed
by the collegians. Ned Shaw, the
Dallas center, was the hero of the
game, getting l2 baskets over his
opponent. The work Of Referee
Grannis, OF Willamette University.
was the best ever seen in Dallas. He
was highly complimented by both
teams at the close Of the game for his
fairness. A preliminary game be-
tween the Dallas and Multnomah
second teams furnished lively enter
tainment for the big crowd and re-
suited In a score Of 20 to 10 in favor OF
the Dallas five.
After the game, the first and second
Multnomah teams, the Dallas team,
and large number OF their friends
were delightfully."- entertained at
banquet at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs.

fully decorated for the occasion, the
colors of the two teams-red and
white-being everywhere in evidence.
Tables had been placed in the two
large parlors, and covers were laid
for sixty guests.

BEWARE OF "DIGESTIVES.
The Only Way to Cure Stomach Dis
orders Is by Strengthening the Di-
geStivc Organs.

The ordinary p"psin tablet has
ruined more stomachs than all other
causes combined While 1t gives tenn
porary relief, 1t leaves the digestive
system weaker than ever, and the tab
lets must be continued with increased
frequency.
The only way to permanently cure
stomach troubles is by strengthening
the digestive organs with Mi-o-na
stomach tablets taken before meals. In
this way the remedy prepares the
stomach for the food and eNcites the
secretion of gastric juices so that
when the food is eaten. the stomach
is prepared to digest it.
If M-o-na was Il mere digestive, 1t
would he taken after eating. so as to
mix with the food, but then permanent
relief would not be gained.
Mi-o ona stomach tablets are sold
only in neat metal box, convenient
for the purse or vest pocket, and cost
but SOC.
