The Caldwell High School basket
ball team were trarnpled under for
the first time this season ON last Sat
urday, Feb. 10Th, by the Stanford
High School quintet. The game was
slightly rough at times, but was hot
ly contested throughout. The Rich
mond team had played in numerous
games before and as this was the
second game for "Our Boys" much
credit is to be given to them. The
local team was skillful and showed
a remarkable amount of speed, far
outclassing that of their opponents.
Shanks and Noe stood out little
above their teammates in the throw
ing of goals and Brown and Embry
are to be congratulated for their
work. Tucker showed up well at
center, keeping up in tone with the
other members of the team. All the
boys give great promise of a good
team and hope to contest in many
other games. When the whistle blew

The lineup was as fol-
lows: Stanford-Noe, F.; Shanks.

the present discomfort but also to

neglect of this important function.
Harsh cathartics and violent DUR

these afford only temporary relief.

women by federal constitutional amendment
In their platforms both of the old parties pronounced
in favor of the extension of the suffrage by states Pres
dent Wilson is committed to this policy. 1t is the hope of
the bosses of the Womans Party that before August TO-
when they to hold conference at Colorado Springs
Mr. Hughes will announce his conversion to the nation
wide movement first advocated by Susan B. Anthony
whereupon the votes the 100000 will be pledged

at the polls in support of anybody Most op

The thing to result this enterprise if it
becomes formidable enough for any to attract at
enton is the complication of the suffrage movement with
party politics. What has been gained thus far hs been
due to the good will of all parties With either of the
great political organizations anagonized is contem

suffrage state and the Susan B. Anthony amendment will
be as dead as its author.
