The jinx went, to Deer. Park with
the. Colville Hi team, last Friday. In
fact the jinx has been with. the

for the second Chewelah game; Dan
Knauss fractured his right arm; Nc
Kern was still warming, the side
lines with game ankle. Thus was
the team handicapped when it in
vaded the camp of the Iumberjacks
on the 22d. And yet with a
string of green men. they held a
team with three years. experience to
a 40 count.

Vacation Enjoyed /
Everyone enjoyed the three days
vacation during the institute. If
the stories told by the Frosh in the
halls are true, Stevens county has a
resource in it's spud crop this year.
Any statistician would roughly esti..
mate that there will be in the neigh
.borhood of no less than three trillion
bushels. Of. Murphies, for that is
what the infants say they picked
during the holidays. Some of the
boys hunted, and as many deer have
been killed as taters. dug. Oh, it
was a grand and glorious vacation,
