them only two hits. Olympia came
up, and grabbed five runs before
Chehalis knew what happened.
In the second session Olympia ran
up another score and allowed Che
halls only one hit. In the third the
visitors did not get even hit but
managed to cop one in the next in

picked of run, thus making the
score at the end of the fourth to 0.

knocked three-bagger and Lindsay
let him in on a single.
Chehalis Swings Wicked Bat.
Chehalis began to swing a wicked
bat in the fifth and actually made
three hits which were later con-
verted into two runs. During the

HOME CANNED GOODS
CAUSE FIVE DEATHS

A dozen jars of home canned
goods are in the possession of Di-
rector E. l.. French of the depart

the State College and the University
of Washington. Contents of several
Of the cans caused the death recently
of five persons in Eastern Washing
ton.
The jars were collected by Super
visor Will Adams of the division of
foods, feeds, drugs and oils, whose
duty it is to inspect these commodi-
ties throughout the state, to prevent
poor grades or poison of any kind.
Supervisor Adams states that one
jar Of home canned spinach put up
in private home in Toppenish
caused the death of Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Phillips and child the first
Of this month. Analysis show the
spinach to be infected with botulinus
poisoning. The poisoning comes
with the fresh vegetables and when
cooked is temporarily killed but
when the jar is sealed and allowed
to stand for several months the
botulinus germ again infects the
goods, causing death to those who
eat 1t.
Can of Peas Fatal.
Among the jars of poisoned can
ned goods there is a can of peas put
up by a Mrs. Bowers of Yakima.
The corn was grown on the Bowers
farm and after several months OF
standing after being canned jar
was opened and eaten by the family.
Mrs. Bowers died from the effects OF
the poisoning while other members
of the family are still in a critical
condition. The uneaten canned peas
were given to the chickens, killing
81 within twelve hours.

Mr.. Adams contain canned liver.

in Yakima Mr.. Adams obtained pos

WHEATLEY'S BANK is
CLOSED TO LIQUIDATE
DEPOSITORS WILL BE PAID.
IN FULL, AND STOCKHOLM
ERS WILL LOSE LITTLE.

AMERfCUS, Ga.-A notice on the
door of the Commercial City Bank
says the institution is in the hands OF
the state banking department, and it
is said its affairs will be liquidated.
Crawford Wheat1ey, who died TN
expectedly from accidental causes,
was president of the bank, which had
capital paid in of $4,000.
The institution had total liabilities
of $155,350.56 with deposits subject
to check of $37,75330 and time de-
posts of $13,232.70, and cash on hand
and in bank, as shown by its state
ment as of December Is, 1920, of So
558.68.
Besides Mr.. Wheatley the only
other known stockholder is c. S. 5.
Horne, who, with Samuel Harrison,
cashier of the institution, and Wheat
ley, constituted the board of directors.
The depositors represent many per-
sons, practically all depositors being
small amounts, with the exception OF
one or two negro insurance organiza-
tins, which are said to have had de-
posits aggregating $4,000 in the bank.
1t is asserted that depositors will
be paid in full, and that stockholders,
principally members of the Wheatley
family, will lose very little, if any
thing.

THE CAFES IN PARIS
WILD SCENES MARK ADVENT
OF THE NEW YEAR. INTRO
DUCE MANY NOVELTIES.

PARIS.-Fishing rods twenty-one
feet long, with little balloons dangling
at the ends, with which the New
Years jewellers teased and poked their
neighbors, were the sensation among
the novelties introduced by the big
restaurants to amuse clients who were
welcoming in 1921.
World famous restaurants presented
wild scenes in the early morning
hours. Beautiful barebacked, aigretted
women laden with monster Jewelry
and armed with the latest fadS, knock
ed off the spectac1es OF bald-headed
roysterers.
There was tremendous hilarity at
the Cafe de Paris when a leading &C
-tress knocked the wig off we'll known
politician who never before, had been
suspected of wearing a toupee. The
management of one restaurant tried
to collect the fishing rods when a
band of Americans unaccustomed to
champagne became boisterous, disar-
ranging the elaborate coiffures and
diamond tiarras worn by the society
women.
Balloons batted back and forth be-
tween the tables like shuttlecocks
were another feature.
Most restaurants did not distribute
the little cotton balls, brilliantly color
ed, because on Christmas many of the
jewellers soaked the balls in cham
payne until they were sodden and then
hurled them accurately with the result
that red, blue, green and yellow
splotches were made on the bare backs
and necks of the dancers and many
expensive gowns were ruined.

GIRLS HAVING
SUCH A TIME
WITH CORSETS

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.-A war
which threatens to split the sub-deb
society of the Hoosier capital wide
open was on here Saturday night
over the question of whether or not
public school girls shall wear cor
sets to dances and other social func-
tions.
The question was brought up
when one girl told her mother she
didn't want to wear corset to
dance because the boys called the
girls who wore them "old IRON
sides" and with such-a monnicker
a girl made a beautiful wall flower.
The mother took the proposition
I'D with Principal Buck of Short
ridge high school. The principal is.
sued orders that the girls must
wear corsets and that the Shimmie,
wiggle and other modern dances
are barred.
Girls complied with the orders to
wear corsets, but the high school
faculty learned that at the dance
they were removed and the dress
ing room was piled high with cor
sets.
Principal Buck called for police
women supervision of the dances,
to see that the girls wore their cor
sets.
Girls contend they are unable to
do the new dances while wearing
corsets, saying that they restrict
their movements to such an extent
they can not do the new steps.
