FOOTBALL SATURDAY.

The Oroville high meets up with the
Okanogan high at Omak Saturday, the
local lineup will be about the same as
the eleven that tackled Omak last
Thursday. The boys have a pretty stiff
job cut out for them when they bump
up against the county seat huskies, for
Okanogan has been winning every
game played this season, and the pres
tige of success backed by a strong
team is combination that the locals
will find pretty hard to overcome. The
home boys will 60 down determined to
do their best, and that is all that can
be expected OF any team. The Okanog-
an Independent In announcing the
coming game says 1.-TWO weeks ago
the locals defeated Omak 80 to a. Last,
Saturday Oroville defeated Omak 10
to 13, and those who saw the game pre-
dict battle royal between Okanogan
and Oroville, as Oroville has a back
field that outshines the locals in gen.
eral ability"
1t Is understood that Thanksgiving
Day the Oroville and Omak teams meet
on OrOville grounds for the third and
deciding game between the two
schools.

GATHERING OF KNIGHTS.

Monday evening Monte Christie
Lodge, No. 16S, Knights of Pythias, of
Okanogan, rendered Thos r. Pinker-
ton, member of that lodge who has
been honored by election as a grand
lodge officer of the grand lodge o.
Washington, reception, to which
was extended invitations to members
of other lodges in the county. In re-
sponse to that invitation some forty
members of Oroville Lodge No. 1873,
drove down to the county seat in cars
and attended the meeting 1t was a
long night drive and it was we'll on
toward morning before the Oroville
contingent reached home, but every
one who made the trip and participat-
ed in the reception felt well repaid
for the trouble. The feature was de-
gree work. bountiful repast, numer-
Gus speeches and general good time.
Monte Christie is one of the largest
lodges of any secret order in the coun-
ty, made up of most likeable body
chiefly of young men and they certain
ly made the visitors feel at home. Fur
thermore, the Oroville members were
more than pleased that they could pay
a deserved tribute to Mr.. PinkertOn BY
being present at this meeting given in
his honor, for it is due to Mr.. Pinker-
ton more than any other single indi-
vidual that lodge was finally insti-
tuted in Oroville. Mr.. Pinkerton takes
a keen interest in the Order and is
constantly working for it's advance
ment. He made several efforts to
arouse the interest of old members in
Oroville to organize a lodge before he
awakened sufficient enthusiasm to
start the movement. He was present
with large representation from Okla
hogan lodge when the local lodge was
finally started. 1t is largely IA crea-
ture Of his own efforts Mr.. Pinkerton
has ever since watched the Oroville
lodge grow with a great deal of salts
faction. For his activity and interest
displayed in Pythian organization he
mas been recognized by the grand
lodge and at the last session was elect
ed to one of the minor offices, and be-
yond doubt as he is still a young
man, in the course of time he will
eventually fill the highest office IN
the Order.

REGRETTABLE CIRCUMSTANCE.

Deputy Eli Wilson and Bernard Nc
Cauley were in Oroville Yesterday to
investigate an alleged assault case,
and as result of their Visit to that
CITY TOM Collier Sas Z placed under
81 600 bonds and will answer TO tiYe
charge of first degree assault in the
superior court. 1t is alleged Collier at
tempted to collect a bill from A. S.
Groulx with the aid of shotgun
Okanogan Independent.
While very little has been said about
this deplorable case it has been gen
orally talked about around town for
several days. No one seems to know
the full particulars of the controversy
that led up to the climax, and it is
well to withhold judgment until the evil
dence has ben given before a court
That Tom Collier and AL. GrOulx
should have had a misunderstanding
that would lead up to such violent
demonstration surpasses all under
standing among those who know the
men. Probably there is no two more
honorable, upright, law-abiding citi-
zens in the community than the par
ties to this unfortunate affair. Quiet,
inoffensive, with exceptional kindly
dispositions Mr. Groulx and MIR. Collier
have won a high place in the esteem
and confidence of their fellow-towns
men. They are deservedly popular and
during the years that we have known
them we have never heard of their
being in any difficulty with neighbors,
and have never heard word breathed
against their characters. We were in
hopes that their misunderstanding,
whatever may have been the founda
tion. could have been amicably settled,
explained away and forever forgotten.

Farm Students Of
fered Good Course
SMITH HUGHES AGRICULTURAL

CURRICULUM.

(By L. w. Dahms, head of Agri. Dept.)
The High School Course of Study
viii include two years of Vocational
Agriculture and provides for instruc-
tion in Field crops, Animal Husband
ry, Dairying, Farm Accounts and
Farm Management, Soils, Horticulture
and Farm Mechanics This work in
cludes actual practice by pupils and a
study of local farm problems and op-
erations under the immediate super
vision and direction of the teacher.
Pupils taking field crops are requir-
ed to select, with the advice and as
sistance of the instructor, major
project in field crops. The major pro-
iect is chosen from one of the i'm
portant economic crops grown in the
community For illustration, let US
suppose that corn is selected. The
parent or employer must agree to let
the pupil be responsible for the man
agement of all or portion of this
crop. Under the direction of the in
structor, the pupil gathers and stores
the seed, prepares the soil, plants the
seed, cultivates and harvests the crop,
and keeps a record of the cost of the
various items entering into the pro-
duction of, the crop. When the boy
has finished his project, he should have
carried ot5 in practice the best meth
DDS known for the economic produc-
tion of corn under the conditions
presented by the farm on which he
works. f
In addition to the major project, the
instructor will have the pupil do just
as much work with the other farm
crops as conditions will permit. A
record will be kept showing the cost
of preparation of the soil for grain
crops, harvesting, threshing, the yield
and value per acre. In the fall,
summary of all field crops produced
on the farm will be made as prep
aration for the work in animal nus
bandry the second year.
Classes will be organized, Septem-
Der 7th. Anyone desiring further in
formation write to S. E. Hargis, Sup
erintendent of Redwood Falls High
School on l.. W. Dahms, director of
Agricultural Department.
Regardless of whether or not you
enter school on Tuesday, September
7th you had better register fer the
course on that day.

New Garage Soon.

Arrangements have been made for
the immediate erection of the new
Stensvad Garage which will occupy
the site on Second Street nearly oppo-
site the location of the present quar-
ters. Rud Stensvad, the proprietor of
the garage states that the erection of
the new building will be pushed as
much as is expedient with good work
and the building be ready for occu-
pancy before cold weather. The struc-
ture will be brick and tile with steel
trusses and will be of the most mo
dern fire proof type. The dimensions
are hundred twenty by hundred
twenty feet with twelve foot posts.
This will provide sufficient space for
work room, shops and office and leave
a tine floor space for storage purpos-
es. Building materials have been or
dered and are expected to arrive short
ly. The need of an additional garage
in the city has been made very mani
fest during the past summer months
of tourist travel and the erection of
the new garage will help greatly in ac-
coamodating both the transient aru
the permanent automobile needs.

Red Cross Call.

The patterns and directions for
making baby and children's clothes
are now in the hands Of the chairman
in each of the sixteen Branches of the
American Red Cross of the County.
Every woman and girl who will as
sist in the making Of one or more
garments will please call the chairman
of the branch or any Of the officers
and thus get started to work at the
earliest possible date.
Winter rs coming and thousands of
babies are meeting the relentless cold
with only rags to protect their little
bodies. Older children are just as
poorly clothed and in the countries
where these conditions exist the moth
ers are wrapping their little children's
arms and legs in newspaper to protect
them from the winds. Churches might
also pledge themselves to production.
Old garments may be made over in
to petticoats, rompers, night dresses;
these are most acceptable.
Whatever you decide to do, do it
quickly-Glenn Lukens, Executive
Secretary of Redwood County A. R. C.
