HILL ACADEMY TEAM
BEATEN BY ASHLAND
IN A BRILLIANT GAME

The Ashland High school defeated
the fast team from Hill Military
Academy in one of the most sensa-
tional games ever seen in Ashland
with a score of 28 to 81,
The entire game was replete with
thrills. Captain Heer OF Ashland
was the high point man for the local
boys.
The Hill boys were four points
ahead at the end of the first half,
the score standing IA to 10. At the
first part of the second half the Hill
boys appeared to take the lead, but
the Ashland boys soon found their
stride and played consistent ball till
the game ended.
The Ashland lineup was as follows:
Guthrie, forward Heer, forward;
Aitken, guard; Young, guard; Ram
sey, center.
1t would be unfair to say that any
one of the Ashland boys stood out
more prominently than another. Each
one was on the job all the time.
Hill has little advantage of the
Ashland boys in both height and
weight, but by consistent team work
and hard playing, the Ashland boys
overcame the handicap.
Thursday and Friday nights the
Hill boys play the Medford High
school. On Saturday evening the
Hill boys return to Ashland for the
final game. The home boys are de-
termined to maintain their present
standing and a battle royal may be
expected.
AS a preliminary game, the Cen
tral Point girls will play the Ash
land girls. The game will>be called
promptly at half past seven.

ORGANIZERS OF FARM
BUREAU MEET WITH c. OF c

business men Of the Ashland district
held joint meeting at Chautauqua
Pioneer Hall for the purpose of dis
:ussing the Farm Bureau organiza.
lion movement.
A. G. Joy Of Ashland acted as chair
man of the meeting and l.. +. Fer
yuson made a few remarks in behalf
If the business men.
Dean Robbins, head OF the depart
nent of business at the University OF
If Oregon, spoke briefly of the mu-
:ual cooperation that should prevail
between the farmer. and the business
men,
Geo. L. Gray, of Missouri, one OF
the organizers of the National Farm
Bureau, made very pleasing ad-
dress, stressing the need OF a national
organization for the farmer. He went
Into the entire matter of farm or
sanization and impressed everyone
with the great need of farmers or
ganizations in order to meet on equa
terms the organized efforts of Other
members OF society.
Geo. A. Mansfield, president of the
Oregon State Farm Bureau, also ad
dressed the meeting at length He
charged that no adequate arrange.
ment is in force to finance the farm
er, that farmers had no influence in
matters OF finance, transportation,
marketing or legislation, and cited
numerous instances in proof. He
quoted the head of the federal re-
serve board as saying that the fedc-
raj reserve banks were not organized
in a way to serve the farmer as they
could only make through member
banks short time loans.
"The federal reserve banks" the
speaker said, would discount farmer
paper, while the farmer was rrOduc-
ing, but would not discount paper OF
a farmer to hold his wheat or wool,
although they financed II hat wy
grain dealers and Other big operat-
ors, who were admittedly. Engaged in
speculation. He said this was the
settled policy of the federal reserve
banks, and that it amounted to fore
ing the farmer to sell, no matter the
condition of the market
Mr.. Mansfield also discussed at
leugth the wool situation, and ex-
planned that although wool was worth
less than 20 cents per pound, woolen
mills were using in cases as high as
so per cent cheap shOddy in manu-
featuring, and this shoddy displaces
American wool and breaks the mar
ket. This shoddy goods is sold on the
American market at the price of high
class goods. "Our people" he said,
are clothed in shoddy made from dir
ty European rags while our wool can
not be sold"
The same injustices were pointed
out along other lines in all of which
he said, neither the farmer nor the
ordinary citizen, the consumer, has
a voice"
He closed with a strong appeal to
everybody to support the Farm Bu-
reau, whether they were engaged in
farming or not.
