Final Score Was TO 9, and Was the
Best Game of the Season.

The seniors football team defeated
team composed of men picked from
the other three classes of the high
school at the fair grounds yesterday
with only one point to spare. 1t was
a hard fought game and the final
score, to s, showed that the teams
were evenly matched.
Alfred Little made a touchdown
for the allied team when he caught
the opponents forward pass and ran
thirty yards for the goal. But the
wind was against the ball when Ger
aid Shadinger kicked for the goal
poles, and so only six points we're
made. Leslie Krepps made the
touchdown for the seniors and Otto
Romberger kicked the goal. giving
the seniors seven points.
A large crowd witnessed the game
and all said it was the best played
game of the season. Neither team
could break thru the others line and
the ball was kicked repeatedly to
gain little ground. Towards the
end of the game both teams became
furious and started passing the ball.
Dudley Wyandt, on the senior team,
caught one of these passes and near
ly made another score for the SEN
Tors. The game was Just finished
when It started to rain and the crowd
made a run for town.

IF a woman friend at distance

her in word the underlying
tendency Of the styles for Spring, you
could sum it all up by saying, 1t is

Even the new colors and fabrics
suggest the first tender budding Of

Now, being a practical woman.
you'd tell her something more
that the fashion for Spring is one
not to be trihed with!
Most stores sell very mixed hodge
podge of fashion gathered from many
different sources. In seasons OF varl-
able style-tendencies faulty dressing is
not so conspicuous.
But this season fashion is sharply de-
fined. A woman must hare aukho,77ty

They were the first makers

Altogether they are good people

PARASITE FOR SUGAR
BEET PEST TO BE
SOUGHT IN AUSTRALIA

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Dec. 1.-THE
work of an imported parasite used in
Australia to exterminate the sugar
beet leaf hopper, which is reported to
have caused considerable damage in
the beet fields Of the Antipodes and
which has invaded the fields of Cali
fornia, will be observed here by e. J.
Vosler, an expert entomologist of the
state insectary here.
George H. Hecke. state herticultur-
al commissioner, has authorized Vos-
Ter to make an exhaustive study of
the results being accomplished and he
will leave here about January l, for
a five months stay in Australia.
The chief damage by the beet leai
hopper in California has been done In
the Sacramento, San Joaquin and Sa.
linas valleys, according to H. S,
Smith, superintendent of the state in
sectary. The damage done in the Sa.
linas valley in 1914 was estimated at
81, 900, 600, he said, and caused some
sugar beet factories to be abandoned
The insect cannot be eradicated By
spraying because of it's hopping pro

age principally by stabbing the beet
and innoculating it with a fungus OF

this venture, and Denny grasped the
opportunity to 60 to San Francisco

appointed traffic manager of the
Great Northern Pacific s. 8. Co. Later
on Denny was made assistant gen.
eral passenger agent, in which posi-
ton he continued until the big tur-

cation. His services were quickly in
demand. His choice was to 60 to
Honolulu with the F. L. Waldron Co.,
one Of the largest shipping concerns
on the islands. When Denny first

intimate railroad friends gave him a
