words expressing. adherence of such
extreme ignorance. This has been Ce-
Iestlal New Year week in Walla Walla
and an good Cinnamon are celebrating.
The present New Year of the Chi
nese is of more than ordinary impor-
lance since it marks the official be-
ginning of the first ear of Hsuan
lungs reign. And it was celebrated
accordingly. There were innumerable
banquets, at which the bills of fare
included such rare delicacies as rats
liver la Wung Tang, picked birds
nests and puppy la saute ping pong.
+ Unbelievable as it NAV seem none
OF the menus included chop suey, and
one of the leading caterers of Rose
street calmly declares that no China
man ever partakes of that dish, which
is an American innovation concocted
to tickle the palates of white devils
who go Summing.
Among the Cinnamon, the celebra-
ton of New Year is more than a night
of dissipation and a day given to nurs
ing hangOverS. AT least a week or
ten days is necessary to properly well
come the advent of the New Year.
Iheres reason. The proper presen-
tatlon Of a new drama, which always
takes place during the period of fes.

High School Wins
from the "Y Team

For the first time meeting defeat on
their own floor, the basketball five of
the Y. M. c. A. went down before
! the high school last night to the tune
of II to %. In the first half the ''Y''
had slight lead all the way, but in
the second heat the high school got
down to business and working around
Steel, their crack center, walked, away
| from the association men.
The game was a good one. There
was something doing all the time and
the game was not won until the last
! half when Steel threw basket after
basket from all kinds of angles and
positions. The 'Y'', it is only fair to
say, did not play up to form and miss
ed many baskets that rolled around
the edge. Glafke, lUnser and Felt
house all had bad luck this way and
Thorn, always good for two or three
! field goals from the center of the floor,
had the ball roll tantalizingly around
the rim of the basket a dozen times
But at that the high school played the
better ball. They guarded closer and
threw more accurately; while in team
work they were good Their team
work consists of getting the bail to
Steel and serves the purpose in good
shape.
Individually steer was the star of
the game. He played everywhere and
alN the time, making many hard bask
cts. Penthouse played against him
and save for the fact that he did not
guard as closely as he should, played
a great game. Allen played a nifty
guard for the "Y." He was lighting
on the floor and three baskets we'll.
The other men on the team played star
bals and the game was exciting from
whistle to whistle. Coach Blanchard
Of Whitman gave perfect satisfaction
as referee.
The roofing was feature of the
game. High School had plenty of
well tuned voices and although they
had little to say in the first half, GER
tainly kept things going in the last
half. Everything was good natured,
however.

GOVERNOR EBERHART will make
good and is the proper man in his
place. After five years of Demo
cratic rule, it will be amusing to
see the occasion manufactured
independents" scramble to get
back on the Republican band wag-
on. If Gov. Eberhart follows in
the footsteps of his illustrous pre-
decessor and gives Minnesota the
administration it has had in the
past five years, he will receive the
undivided support of the state and
that he will do so is a conceded
fact. In connection with Gov.
Eberhart's administration it will
also be we'll for the old Republican
party soreheads and disgruntled
seekers after political honors, to
keep their hands off as the people
of the state have sat down on boss
ism and are doing their own think
lug. That they have been doing
their own voting has been apparent
for some time.
