on an early Friday morning train for
Astoria for game Friday evening
with the Astoria high school players.
Saturday evening they will play at Van
cOuver. This trip will determine the
state championship.
What becomes of athletic supplies,
was discussed at student body meet
ing this week. In years past, it APP
pears to have been the custom of mem
bers of the athletic team to appropriate
for their own use sweaters and other
apparel As only limited number of
sweaters are allowed to each team,
there was no sweaters for others wish
ing to practice, and each year new ones
for each team had to be purchased.
Coach Clancy was of the opinion that
if all the football suits had been turned
in last year, at least 20 good men could
be out practicing.
One student remarked that he went
out for football two years ago and then
the first year he did not take Jersey,
and was called a greenhorn by the 9TH
er boys Consequently, last year, al
though he did not think it right, he
took one. The same student agreed to
return the sweater and hoped the 9th
er boys would see that this was the
right thing to do.
One of the high school boys, James H
Walker Joined the navy. He was presi-
dent of the junior class and Webster
ian debating society last year and a
member of the debating team which

GRANGE WANTS AGRIcULTURIsT.

At meeting of the Woodhurn
grange, held on Saturday, the mem
bers unanimously recommended that
the county court of Marion county
employ a county agriculturist for the
coming year, and also recommended
that the court re.appoint the same man
who filled that office last year.
1t is doubtful whether our stubborn
county court will pay any attention to
a recommendation by the grange or
any other organization in this matter
unless ordered to do so by the powers
that are. At the budget meeting some
time ago, after it had been left TO a
vote of the farmers present and they
voted 30 to in favor of having IN
agriculturist, the county court arbi-
trarily turned them down. when
Marion county gets county court
that will consider the wishes Of the
people instead of its own whims and
preiudices, then the people may cx-
pect some relief and not until then.-
