joy good wholesome hallowe ZEN
sports too. Like the dance Of the
witches, the apple catching stunt

comes to the deliberate and mali
cious destruction Of property, such
work is downright dirty. 1t ism t
sport at all, it's contemplate de

from its moor and hauled it
off some distance to a neighbor s

Our Women-A Defense

The News-E2cord feels that only
half the truth is spoken when a
voice is raised against the lack of
cooking ability in the average
home of today. What about the
men folks2 In nine cases out of
ten where the bobbed-haired wo-
man doesn't know how to make
good salt-rising bread, her hubby
doesn't know the difference be,
tween a buck-saw and a buck

tery-eyed, pimpled-face, bullet
headed ninny, who swears at ran
dom, berates the church, mmbles
over being the "head of the
house." and doesn't know how to
do a single thing well, excepting
roll a cigarette in the latest fash.
ion. Such a being would drive
any woman to buying her bread
If there is to be a revival of the
old-fashioned bread baking wo-
men, let's at least hold some pray
er meetings for the regeneration
of the man who hasn't enough
gumption to either take care of
the babies while the wife "bakes"
or rolls up his-sleeves and does the
baking himself.

A Memory

November 4th in Pennsylvania.
The day before this was election.

The democrats were blue and
viewed everything with alarm.
The republicans pointed with their
usual pride at the record of Don
Cameron and Matt Quay. A big
ten room frame house down the
lane. The parents were there and
four or five youngsters. Last night
before going to bed the father of
the family cut off a pile of pine

were laid before the kitchen

At no tine in the past has it beer

Seattle, Oakland and Los An.
geIes to Get Meetings
Next Year.

Portland, Or. - Three conventions
will be held by veterans of the 91st
division next year, according to de-
cision reached at the business session
of the Powder River boys, at their
convention here.
The conventions will be held at
Seattle for the northwest veterans,
at Oakland for the northern California
association Of the division and at Los
Angeles for the southern California
boys. The date will be September 25
and 20.
The decision to hold three conyen-
tons instead Of one was made owing
to the fact that it is difficult to get
the ex-members of the organization to-
gether for one convention since some
Of them are compelled to travel such
long distances.
1t was decided to hold a national
convention, however, every five years
and the invitation to hold the first of
these in San Francisco in 1928 was
accepted.
AS result of the decision to d.
vide the division association into three
parts and hold three conventions in
stead of one, three sets of officers
were chosen.
William Mckay Of Seattle was
chosen president of the Northwest or
ganIzation, James l. Herr of San Fran
cisco, president of the Northern Cali
iornia organization, and Guernsey
Frazier president of the southern Cali
fornia group.
