FRASER DOOMED
FOR COMMISSIONER

The first SIGNS of revival or
county politics dormant for nearly
two years, became evident in Lyn-
den this week when a well-organfz-
ed movement was started to induce
A. II. Frasier TO become candidate
for county commiss,Crer TO succeed
Henry Shagren, whose term will
expire this year.
The Frasier boosters are point
ing out that his former experience
as county commissioner would
make him an especially valuable
official. The ct.inpaign for Frasier.
shoald he consent tc make the race,
will he based upcn the record he
made when he hello the position be-
fcre.
Frasier Is one of the best known
mon in tho ccLniy, ind his back
ers believe he Wall draw heavy
vote outside the district.
Several nawe. have been whis-
p,red about lataly Cd candidates for
various county offices. and within a

OF campaigneis.

LYNDEN TEAM TO MEET
LAUREL IN LAST DEBATE

The last debate of the school year
will take place on Friday evening,
March 8 at the high school auditor
ium. Lynden will meet Laurel and
will again uphold the affirmative of
the Monroe Doctrine question.
From the four debates to be held
during the year Lynden has already
won three and by defeating Laurel
might gain the District Champion
ship.
1t might be of interest at this
time to notice to notice the man
ner of awarding the championship.
Each of the four debates Of the
season Is decided by three judges;
each judges decision counts one
point toward the championship.
From this 1t will be seen that the
greatest number of possible votes
would be twelve which would mean
four unanimous decisions. In other
words. Lynden might win four de-
hates each by 2 to 1 decision and
still lose to a school, which won
three unanimous decisions and lost
one entirely.
Lynden has two seniors on the
team: Cliff Worthen and Albert
Booman. This will be their last hig
school debate and ~ erefore the last
OF pOrtunity to hear them. All
speeches are being revised SO that
an Interesting contest is assured.

1t is with much pleasure that
we note the rapid progress the
band boys are making. BY
constant practicing for the past
few weeks under the leadership
of s. T. Witt, they bid fair to
hold their own in a very short
time with any first class band
in this section. a majority of
the members are experienced
musicians, while the others are
only beginners;.t hey show much
talent and will soon stand in
line with the sold Heads.
They are at present using the
Town Hall for practice, and
every Sunday afternoon meet
in the Amory, where special
concert is given, to which a
large number OF citizens gather
to hear the music.
