Trip to State Contest Greatly Enc0ur-
aged New Portland Girl

Eva Weimer of East New Portland,
who was about ready to give up Agri-
cultural Club work, gained such an
inspiration from the State Contest
which she attended in Orono, that she
is going to organize together with
her mother club at North New Port
land The following is Miss Wei
mer's account of her trip to Orono:
On the Thursday after Christmas /
went to the. State Contest of the
Boys and Girls Agricultural Club,
held at Orono. That p. m. there was
tour of the campus followed by
reception at Balentine Hall, the dor
mitory, where the girls stayed, but
arrived in time for most of the recep-
ton. After supper we went to AL
umni Hall where we sang club songs
and Mr. Grassland led in club cheers.
Dean Merrill spoke an address of well
come and Evelyn Hodgdon gave res
ponse. Some very good moving pic
lures on club work finished the even
ing program. The boys and girls
then went to the gymnasium and play
ed many games before bedtime.
Friday morning the boys and girls
again went to Alumni Hall where
there was a Judging contest. All
were weighed and measured so that
when Miss Jackson talked on health
she would see how many were over
weight and how many were under
weight. President Little spoke on
club demonstrations afterwards Civ
ing us an address. In the afternoon
there was a subject matter. Meet
ing at Winslow Hall, the agricultural
building.
| attended the dairy, garden and
poultry division because poultry was
on my project. After these talks we
returned to Alumni Hall to hear Mr..
Libby, Mrs. Stevens, Mrs. Clark, and
Mrs. Libby talk on different kinds of
club work. l think everyone enjoy
ed the stories Mr.. Cummings told US.
Every county represented had pre-
pared a stunt for the aftrnoon. Some
of them were comieal and all of them
interesting. The afternoon program
was completed by the stunts. In the
evening there was a banquet at Bal
entine Hail.. Some Of the boys and
girls delivered speeches there, and no
body could help enjoy it. When the
banquet was over, we again went to
Alumni Hall, where Mr.. Hunton from
Portland awarded prizes. Mr.. Hun
ton is the president of the Maine Cen
trail Railway Company. He takes a
great interest in the Boys and Girls
Club and every year awards them
prizes. The boys and girls like Mr..
Hunton very much. Dean Merrill
was to award certificates, but since it
was impossible for him to be there,
Mrs Mixter took his place.
Mr.. Shibles, our State Club Leader,
tried to give us a good time and he
surely did make success of 1t for
everyone I talked with said they had
a splendid time. Saturday morning
I did not take the early train, so my
friend and I went on tour of the
campus. We went through the Lib
rary, ALBERT Hall, the Chemistry and
Physics Building, North Hall, the
Home Economics, Practice House,
Lord Hail. the Engineers Building,
and the Greenhouse. l certainly had
a nice time while was at Orono and
hope to visit the State University
again.

SUPPORT RICE is ADVICE Oh
READER

Dear Editor:
| desire through the columns OF
your paper to make a statement with
reference TO the candidates o. the
Supreme Court OF Idaho.
| notice in a recent interview that
Associate Justice Bulge. who is a
candidate on the Republican, ticket
for the Supreme Bench. said that the
candidates should be elected without
regard to party utilization.
Judge John c. Rice is Candidate
on the Democratic ticket for Justice
of the Supreme Court. Judge Rice
served for six years on the Supreme
Bench and | have often heard that
he was one OF the best judges that
Idaho ever had. His education. legal
ability and honesty qualify him es-
pecially for that Office. He is modest
and is not gallivantinig over the
State seeking election. | see him in
Caldwell nearly every day. A lawyer
told me that his decisions were quot
ed with approval by the courts OF
other states, and that as a judge he
would be an honor to the State OF
Idaho. He is not a politician, so let
us all get back OF Judge Rice and
vote for him on November 4th ir-
respective OF politics, and by doing
so show the politicians that the
people still have something TO say
On Election Day. Vote for Rice.
