Blythe and Bouyant School
Paper, 'Ameri-cusser' Comes
Back to Snappy, Zippy Life

The blythe and buoyant Ameri-
Cugser, adjudication founded by the
Americas high school class of 1917,
and which has been in dormant
state for some time, has recently been
reaurrected by the class of 1928, and
the first issue has appeared. 1t is
a four-page sheet, published on news
print, neatly put together, bright and
attractive, filled with school lore and
laugh topics. On the front page ap-
nears a likeness Of Jack Hoist, man
ual training teacher and football
coach, who is given a complimentary
"send-off," and on the third page
is a picture of Chas. G. Clements,
first publisher of "The Ameri-Cuss-
er" and professor in English i'll the
high school from 1912 to 1914, who
served in France as captain and who
was killed displaying unsurpassed
bravery. Following are number of
extracts from the first number of
the new "Ameri-Cusser:

Russian and Ludmiehla. 1t was
brilliantly staged.
There was marked difference in
the opera crowd this year and that
of three years ago. In the opening
months Of the Soviet regime, Bolshe-
visits Of both sexes nearly all wore
black leather coats, which they dram
atized very heavily at the opera and
in all public places. The absorption
of large bourgeois population and
three years of experience in govern
ment have changed the dominant par
ty. The members have softened and
become more conventional.
The percentage of bobbed-haired,
notwithstanding women is smaller.
Femininity is feassertiag itself. The
old-time Russian courtesy is reap
pearing in all gatherings. Red army
soldiers are now generally shaved and
have their boots polished.
The constant lecturing Of the inn
maculate Trotzky has sunk into the
army. He is great stickler for
proper care of clothing and equip
ment and the same word has been
generally passed along in all governs
ment departments.

NOTICEl

We want to call the attention of
our readers to the subject of fast
driving in the school zone.
Besides the annoyance of noisy
"cut-outs" and mufflers, it is dan
gerous to the students who are con
stantly passing back and forth across
the road.
We are at disadvantage on ac-
count of the. very limited bounds of
our campus, compelling US to use the
greater part of Reese Park.
This road between the park and
the school yard is frequently used by
motorists driving at very rapid rate
Of speed and we think it is little
enough to do to try to drive reas-
onably.

OUR TEAM
Somebody said they were yellow
Others said they were green
And some just felt disheartened
Over our football team.
The paper said they'd disbanded
And everyone thought SO, too
Cause the boys wouldn't say much
about it
And they, too, seemed pretty blue.
But we've found that all that stuff
was blooey,
And our teams got the grit after
all,
For if you could have seen our game

The smith-Umpqua Cow Testing
association is the first in the state
to report 100 per cent in the use Of
registered dairy sires at the head
OF the herds. Every dairyman in
the association has a registered Jer-

bers have made continuous progress
in breeding and feeding their herds
since that time.
The average PRODUCTION per COW

and 41.35 pounds OF butterfat. The
honor COW was Lady" grade Jer-
sey, owned by Roberts and Sons, of

VALUE or PUREBRRD
LIVESTOCK CONSPICUOUS

The value OF purebred live stock.
say specialists In the United State
Department OF Agriculture. Is most
noticeable In those cases In which
the capability OF the animals Is
measured most directly. Among
farm animals the best illustration
can be found in dairy cattle, though
careful yearly tests OF milk and but
terfat production are relatively
recent affairs. The enormous diff
ferences among dairy cows when
given the same opportunity have
been brought out clearly in a great
number OF cases. and these differ
ences are strongly inherited through
both the sire and the dam. The
average production for purebreds
and grades is much above the aver
age OF all milk cows, which is about
1000 pounds OF milk and 100
pounds OF butterfate annually.
