The first months tests are in
full swing this week.
The eighth grade is striving for
a hundred per cent attendance
record this month. A call for the
ambulance,is the only thing that
prevents such record.
Two new students, Martin
DIVA and Viola ellis, are this
weeks addition upstairs. Mar
tin holds the record for a first
days study out of school seven
hours. He is also Strengthening
and speeding up the basketball
team.
A Halloween party is being
whispered around. With several
weeks preparation, all teachers
and pupils will no doubt make
this the most interesting affair
|of the school year. Several plans
are already being considered.
Despite the cold weather, Miss
Hicks, supervisor Of play for the
week, has been making her re-
cesses seem short to the pupils.
She has placed Miss Porter in
charge of basketball; Miss Cow
ington, girls basketball; Misses
Taylor, Head and Mrs. Hinson,
ring and song dances; and Mr..
Garrett, drill, exercises and boys
basketball.
Rarely do we see an outdoor
contest between boys and girls,
but such a contest is booked for
Friday. The first event will be
throwing for goaI' between fif-
teen boys and fifteen girls; sec
ond, exchanging the ball" with
the same number Of contestants;
land third, passing the circle"
with twenty-five entries for each.
First places will count five points
and second places three.

MONROE WINS 1876.
Locals Satisfied with Showing Against
Monroe Highs Last Friday. Play
at Bennet.sYilIe Tomorrow.

team at Monroe last Friday 1876.
But the local boys feel mighty
good over the result; they put I'D
a game fight, were in the game
every second and did themselves
proud in holding such a machine
to but three touchdowns And
one of the most gratifying facts
of the game was the splendid
manner in which the Monroe
heavyweights were held for
downs on the one-yard line; and
then later in the game how our
boys plowed through by straight
line plays for a touchdown, this
following a beautiful forward
pass of something like 40 yards
from Coble to Johnnie Webb.
a large crowd attended the
game. 1t was well managed and
devoid of unsse,nly roughness.
The Monroe team last year was
the second best among the state
high schools, Chapel Hill having
won by a narrow margin. And
so it is to be seen what an ag-
gregation our boys were up
against. A number of their
players averaged 100 pounds and
upwards. Two, Snyder and Will
liams, are first string college
material, and will make their
name later.
The game started off with
Rockingham kicking off. Mon
roe advanced the ball 20 yards,
and then kicked. Rockingham
made the Monroe fans uneasy
by successive rushes for two first
downs, and then kicked. The
play switched back and forth
with no scoring. Monroe scored
at the beginning of the third
quarter, then a bit later a long
forward pass melted another
score. Right here Rockingham
braced; long pass to Webb
followed by hard line bucks car
ried the ball over for a Rocking
ham score. The third Monrot
touchdown came from a forward
pass. Aside from forward pass
, ing, which our boys had difficult.
in breaking up, the two team
appeared evenly matched, despit,
the Monroe weight and exper
fence. All in all, the locals
showed up splendidly and Civ,
bright promise.
The next game will be agains

game was as follows:

The bazaar held last week by the ladies of the Presbyterian Aid Society was a great success. It was held in the Pioneer building and the room had been costly decorated with lanterns and flow CTS. Tea and dainty refresh ments were served at small tables all through the afternoon. A very fine display of far cy and practi- cal articles and potted plants fourd ready sale and the re- ceipts of the day amounted to about S155.

Mrs. c. N. Vawter, wife of U. s. Deputy Marshal Vawter of Fort Gibbon, Tanana, Alaska, was a passenger on the British boat which passed through here on Friday. She was on her way to Portland, Oregon, where she will spend the winter. Mr. Vaw- ter will leave Fort Gibbon later by dog team to Valdez, and thence by boat to join Mrs. Vawter. They have spent about 25 years on the Yukon, going out each winter for change. Mrs. Vaw- ter has the proud distinction of owning the finest marten coat in Alaska. All of the pelts were se- lected from the kuyukuk dark marten. Mrs. Vawter was enter tained by Dr. Jones while the boat was in port.

THERE'S one way to save on paint.
 That way is to use the best paints.
 Some think of paint economy as cost per gallon" That is wrong. Cheap paint doesn't cover as much surface-you need nore gallons.
 Cheap paint is more difficult to spread, requires more labor, SO the best paint costs no more when you've put it on the house than cheap paint does.
 More than that, it lasts five or more years longer, if properly applied, while cheap paint on the average begins cracking in twelve months. Good paint is an inpest- ment that saves money by preventing de- terioration of the house.
 "Cheap" paint is the only paint that really costs you anything.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1921-10-06
Wrong Ideas
on Paint Economy

Don't allow surfaces to rot-it costs less to paint them.
 We've made paints for western use for 72 years. We use pure PIONEER WHITE LEAD, pure linseed oil, zinc and color, but we mix them in scientific proportions with longtime skill.
 Our white lead base must be fine enough to pass through silk screen with 10000 meshes to the square inch. That means covering capacity and ease of spreading. We super-purify the lead to make it "whiter" which means clearer-toned colors.
 The finished product on the house is a beautiful, elastic, tough protective coating. We call these paints "Fuller's Specified tion House Paints' because they are the very best made for the purpose.

HOW TO WATER LAWNS

Lawn watering season is upon us
Dr. Albert d. Taylor, professor OF
landscape architecture at Ohio State
university, tells in his new book, THE
Complete Garden" how it should and
should not be done.
"A properly prepared lawn will not
require much watering unless the sea.
son is unusually dry or nearby trees
are robbing the grass roots. In any
event, a few thorough sOakings are
much more valuable than many super
fetal sprinklings. 1t is better to avoid
all spray nozzles and whirligig fOun-
tains, for however handsome the eff
fects they may produce in the sunlight,
they do not insure thorough soaking.
do not hasten to sprinkle lawn
at the first approach of warm weather
as this will discourage the tendency of
the grass roots to go deeper in search
of the ground water. If the lawn shows
signs later in the season of being in
distress, give it thorough soaking.
An effective watering should soak the
ground to a depth of five or six
inches"
The Lynden tribune. [volume] (Lynden, Wash.) 1908-current, 1921-08-11

Sizes Neither are hampers, it is said,
suitable packages for potatoes. They
do not have the necessary strength
for the weight of their contents and
offer little protection for the potatoes.
AS long as hampers are used for pota-
toes and other heavy produce there
will be severe loss from breakage. Ii
used they should be loaded on end
and alternate baskets inverted. Great
care should be taken to make the
load tight and no slack space he al
lowed in the car. This lessons the
chance of shifting.
Weak Crates Should Not Be Used.
Crates of various sorts are being
used, and, according to reports, ap-
pear satisfactory where the strength
of the crate is sufficient for the weight
of its contents. Weak crates should
not be used under any circumstances,
and crates with wide opening tend tc
wilt the potatoes while in transit.
Crates must be loaded tightly and
firmly and no slack space left with
out suitable bracing, while stripping
is recommended.
No matter what container is used
the grower should exercise great care
to keep diseased and injured potatoes
out OF it. A very high percentage O.
the cars arriving at northern markets
show much scab, bacterial wilt, late
blight, or all three. Growers should
also see that their packages are well
filed Weak packages should not be
used.

SUNFLOWERS INSTEAD
OF CORN FOR SILACE

Sunflowers promise to be of greatest
value for silage in areas which will
not produce corn satisfactorily on &C
count of cold weather or insufficient
moisture, say government experts
after extensive experimentation. The
yields obtained at various state expert
ment stations and in different counties
in Washington show that it is profit
able crop. particularly in areas not
well suited for corn.
Approximately twice the yield OF
corn was secured from sunfiowers
grown for silage on the experimental
fields at Pullman.
In trials it is shown that while the
dry matter and digestible nutrients are
lower for sunflowers than for corn the
acre-yield of digestible nutrients is
greater for sunflowers than for corn
The silage has proved tn be satisfac
tory and can be substituted for corr
silage in rations for dairy cattle, beet
cattle, and sheep.

SHIP WITH CARE
EARLY POTATOES
Weak Containers, Poor VENT.
lation, Disease Cause
Loss.

Careless loading of potatoes, espe
cially early potatoes, for shipment
causes yearly considerable loss Shift
ing of the loads in transit, weak and
partly filled packages, and lack o!
proper ventilation are found to be re-
sponsible for losses in many cars ar.
irving at markets. Caution against
loading diseased potatoes is also urged
because of the large number of ship
ments that show scab, wilt or late
blight, and in some cases are prac-
tically worth less when they reach the
market.
Press Potatoes Firmly in Barrels.
The doubleheaded ventilated barrel
it is said, appears to be the best pack
age for new potatoes that is now in
general use. If properly made, it pro
tects the potatoes as well as holds
them in place. Much less breakage
has been found in cars where the bar.
rels are loaded on end than when
loaded on their bilge Wooden strips
sould be placed on top of the lower
layers of barrels for the upper layers
to rest upon.
There is one serious objection to
this method of loading. In some in
stances the barrels appear to be slack
measure when they arrive at the mar
ket. due to the jolting in transit. This
fault, however, it is said, can be
largely eliminated if growers will fill
their barrels full and use press when
heading.
Loading barrels on their bilge is
said not to be safe practice unless
headliners (strips to prevent heads
bulging) are used. It is said that the
use os headlincrg would prevent n,ce-
tenths of the breakage in all types OF
loads with barrels. Records show that
practically every car has from to 80

HUNTING LAWS
REQUIRE STUDY
Many Counties of State Vary
Their Seasons and Regu-
lations.

Hunting laws of the state of Wash
ington show some very drastic
changes over those of the past year
and the nimrod will need to study
them carefully to make himself safe
this fall.
The buck law" has been at the head
OF the line in big game, with but one
buck being allowed in Eastern Wash
ington and the same in several of the
Western Washington counties. While
the dates, are, with one exception, the
same throughout the eastern part OF
the state, this side of the Cascades

or more barrels broken on arrival at
the market. Exert bracing is needed
when barrels are loaded on their bilge.
Wooden strips should be placed
across the floor at frequent intervals
in order to prevent the lower barrels
rom rolling. Use of rocks for this pur-
pose localizes the strain and causes
much breakage. Strips should be also
placed across the doors to prevent the
barrels on the upper layer from fall
ing against and jammnig the doors.
Another method of loading barrels
on their bilge has been noted which is
believed to be even better. This con
;ists of placing five barrels across the
ear with the length of the barrel par
allel with the length of the car. The
second layer should contain four bar
rels placed in the hollows formed
where the lower ones meet. The third
iayer contains five barrels the same
as the first. This will give six stacks
o the doorway in each end of 80
DOT car. The doorway should be filled
with barrels placed on their bilge
,rosswise of the car in order to hold
he load tight.
