PaliSade Teams
Proud VictOrS

Last Friday night full house wit
messed two of the most exciting bas-
ketball games of the season between
Palisade and Delta.
The girls game was called at $50
o'clock and proved to be very fast
and exciting as well as close. At the
end OF the first half the score was
13 to 12 in favor of Delta. However
the Delta team was unable to retain
their lead as the Palisade girls forged
ahead shortly after the second half
began and retained this lead through
out the game. The final score was
10 to "a in favor of Palisade.
The boys game was also very fast
and clean. the first half ending with a
tie. Is TO 10. But the Delta boys were
unable to hold their opponents in the
last few minutes of play and several
baskets that won the game were made.
The final score was 2s to 80 in favor
of the visitors.
The visitors had the advantage of
having played together four consecu.
tive years. Also height and weight
helped them considerably although
the game was far from being a walk
away affair. Delta's star player. Gay
Kintner. was unable to play on &C.
count of illness.
After the games the four teams re
paired to the Lincoln Building where
they partook OF a fine luncheon pre-.
pared by the young ladies OF the Do
mestic Science department.

Easier Fruit Mar
ket This Year

The law of supply and demand, as
applied to crop prices. can no more
be lodged than death or taxes. Or
ganization and perfect system may
facilitate marketing for sections so
organized. but the market values of
products raised must always be gaug-
ed mainly by the ratio of supply to
that OF demand.
In the past half a dozen years there
have been two falls when the demand
for apples was enough larger than
the supply, to bring in buyers from
all directions with the cash. who were
not only willing but eager to pay high
prices, and to pay in cash. at the or
chard or on track.
As a matter of fact, the best money
orchard owners of Delta county have
ever made was in years when the crop
was rated at from one-third to one
half crop.
At such times the cry would go up:
"Oh, Lord, give us a full crop; we
want to see what it would like once
more" Granting this prayer the Lord
has given the fruit growers two full
crops, close together. and it has
mighty near busted" them.
The short crop was easier raised.
just like short horse is easier cur
ried, and besides. with less on the
trees the fruit grows more perfect. is
larger and consequently is more at
tractive to the buyer as well as more
satisfactory to the consumer.
There being an extra heavy crop
last year. It is to be expected that the
bearing will not be nearly so heavy
this year. and the fact. or prospect.
rather. should suggest encouragement
rather than. apprehension or alarm.

Surface Creek
Fruit Men Meet

The annual stockholders meeting of
The Surface Creek Fruit Growers
Association was held at Austin on
February 18th.
The managers report comments on
the financial depression experienced
throughout the whole country the past
season. From available statistics. it
appears that the fruit crop of 1914 was
the largest in history. These two
facts account for the unsatisfactory
prices received generally.
Two hundred and forty cars were
handled during the 1914 season.
The report shows the association to
be in good condition.
DR.. E. A Miller and others address
ed the stockholders urging a strictly
cooperative organization along lines
suggested by the Colorado Fruit Grow
ers' Auxiliary Committee OF Denver.
The directors were requested to rep
resent the Association at the meeting
in Delta Feb. Il, at which time Mr.
Malboeuf would explain this co-opera-
tive plan. which has the sanction of
the U. S. government.

The Labor Herald, official organ OF

envelopes by the municipal light plant:
"An ordinance was passed some
time ago by the common council of the
city of Richmond prohibiting the use
of any printed matter by any of the
city officers that did not bear the
label of the Typographical Union. 1t
was reported to the label committee
of this union that the municipal light,
heat and power plant was using the
government printed envelopes, which
are printed at Columbus in non

planning about this. and say that it
is unfair to the employing printers i'll

the printing plants. These men are
taxpayers in the city and make their
living from work secured in the city

it can be done as we'll or better in this
city, it is only just that the work be

DRAMA LEAGUE
SEES PHANTASY
WELL ENACTED
Miss Ernest, Professor Kelly
and Howard Messick Ap-
pear in "The Master of
Dreams"
~ ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE.

The members Of the Drama league
turned out last evening to hear the
lecture on the Greek drama by VII
liam Dudley Foulke and to witness
the short play given by Miss Pearl
Ernest, B. W. Kelly OF the Richmond
high school faculty and Howard Mes
sick. Miss Ernest and Mr.. Messick
are Earlham students.
The play, "The Master Of Dreams"
by an English writer, and character.
lied as "phantasy," was presented
In the high school auditorium in front
of the red curtain used for that stage,
with simple settings Of white furni-
ture, the latter with the white cos
tunes of the principals silhouetted
against the vivid background, making
an artistic effect.
The play itself has little dramatic
Significance since it Is semi-symbol
ical in character and concerns states
of mind rather than social action. but
= is an attractive and fanciful thing.
, Overlook Homely Things.
Pierrot and Pierret are discovered
In the attitude Of poetic ideals reach
ing after the romance Of the unknown
while overlooking the simple, beauti-
full. homely things within the grasp.
THE Master of Dreams" played by
B. w. Kelly, dawns on the two and
points the way to happiness which is
visualized by the kiss Of Pierrot and
l'.erret, when the former sees. for the
first time, his ideal realized in the
latter.
Both Miss Ernest and Mr.. Messick
presented this rather difficult inter-
probation with a certain light touch
and in admirable taste, and Mr.. Kelly
completed the theatric triangle con-
. sistently.
Miss Mildred Schalk preceded the
play with a piano solo, and also played
some incidental music effectively.
Mr.. Foulke's lecture, given in one
Of the c1assrooms, concerned itself
with the history, ethics and aesthetics
of the Greek drama, and was eloquent
and international.
