AT LAYMORE FARM FIRE

Three thousand day-old chicks
were burned at l a. m. Wednesday
at Earl Craine's Laymore Farm on
the Guide Meridian road. A new
brooder house went up in the flames.
At five o'clock, barn nearby was
burned down. Straw in this had
caught fire at the earlier blaze, but
it was thought that all the flames
had been quenched.

started from brooder stove. Craine

LYNDEN LOSES FAST
GAME TO CHENEY FIVE
Athletic Club Team Defeated by
Normal School Squad Thursday by
Score of 10 to Is

In one of the closest. hardest
fought games ever played on the To-
cal floor, the fast basket ball team
from the State Normal School at Che
ney defeated the Lynden Athletic
Club Thursday evening 10 to Is.
Lynden was greatly handicapped
by the absence of their star center
Bert Wander Griend. Wander Griend
took sick Inc night before the game
and was unable to fill his position.
However. Cheney played a clean
fast. heady game. Their victory can
no doubt be attributed to the close
checking up of their guards and the
ability of their star forward, Noble
Leach, to shoot baskets when given
half chance.
The lineup and scores were as fol-
lows:
"CHENEY-Leach, f. IL; F. Swank,
