BLAINE DEFEATS LINDEN IN
TWO FAST CONTESTS FRIDAY

The Lynden high school basket
ball teams met their first defeat of
the season Friday night at the hands
of the Blaine squads. Both games
were nip and tuck, and there was
intense excitement on the part of
everyone.
The girls game was very close,
the score standing 8 to 10 in favor
of Blaine. Lynden had the ball most
of the time, but the forwards had
poor luck in making baskets.
Blaine won the boys game 20 to
a3. Lynden led the score the first
half, but lost out in the last, when
the husky Blaine squad forged ahead
and scored in spite OF all Lynden's
defense.

TELLS WHAT FARM WIFE OF
LINDEN HAS TO DO EACH DAY

The farm wife of Washington does
"a percent of the out door work on
the farm, rs percent of the house
work, 26 percent of the record-keep-
ing, and in return, receives 10 per-
cent of the money made on the farm.
according to facts collected by Maud
Wilson, state home demonstration
leader of the State College extension
service. The counties in which this
survey was made were in typical ag-
ricultural sections, including Spo-
kane, Clark, Thurston and King.
Following the farm wife's steps
through one day during the summer
would require fourteen hours of daily
toll with slightly more than one hour
of rest. She is cook, seamstress,
laundress, nurse, factor in commun-
ity life, and, in 26 percent of the
times, bookkeeper. She works in the
dairy, the garden and in the henyard.
In the winter. her work is not quite
so heavy - indeed. she almost loafs!
For her working day is only 1927
hours. and she gets, on the average,
2. IA hours of rest.
In the matter of vacation, she is a
regular fan. In Washington 2S.4
percent of the farm wives get LA
days of vacation in the year. Com
pared with other farm women of the
United States, the Washington wo-
men have longer hours of work. The
national average is 1912 hours of
work and 1.8 hours of rest, per day,
in summer; in winter, the national
average is 1912 hours and 2. 4 hours
of rest day.
And what are their wages? After
her fourteen hours of labor, the
Washington farm wife receives 10
percent of the money made on the
farm. Less than II percent of them
have their butter money" Less than
10 percent get their poultry money
sale of products apart from eggs;
and under 20 percent of them get
their "egg money"

w. sc. WINS TIED GAME
FROM LINDEN TEAM
Local Leaguers Put Up Wonderful
Contest Against Powerful Pullman
Five 49, Hsa' .

1t took the fast Washington State
College basketball team an extra five
minutes to defeat Lynden Monday
night Al to SO at the high school
gymnasium. The score at the end
of the second half was SO to SO, but
in the extra period, the visitors scored
two field goals and a free throw,
while Lynden could annex only one
field goal.
The game, which was witnessed by
approximately 400 enthusiastic fans,
is said to be the fastest, closest, most
exciting contest ever played in the
local gymnasium. Victory seemed
almost certain for Lynden when they
secured lead of eight points in the
last half, but a rally by the visitors
tied the score by the end of the half
The teams were very evenly matched
and it can be said without prejudice
that the break of the luck decided
the game.

guards. The only substitution made
during the game was Friel for Cissna.
Norman Hickey was to have started
the game as forward for Lynden with
Frank Hatley. but because he did not
have chance to warm up before the
game. Fred Hatley took his place.
Don Mcleod of Bellingham was ref
cree.
Following the game, a lunch was
served to the players and officials by
the Misses Tachel, MacKinnon and
Yeck, and Mrs. William Meurer.
When one considers the fact that
the w. S. c. team is chosen from mat
erial from several states, while Lyn-
den's team is made up entirely of To-
cal high school and ex-high school
players, the showing made is remark
able and one of which the town
should feel proud. Much credit is
due Coach William Fisher for the
able way in which he has trained and
handled his men.
The team wishes at this time to
thank the businessmen and other cit
liens for their hearty support at the
game and for the financial aid given
them in putting up the necessary
guarantee to bring the w. S. c. team
here. They also wish especially to
thank T. r. Burns and Ernest Dean
for their efforts in soliciting the sub
scriptons.
