BIC CAME IS
ON TONIGHT IN
HI GYMNASIUM

Three basketball games of the
pennant SEXES between the High
Schools of Douglas and Juneau
have already been played ami the
fourth is scheduled for tonight in
the Juneau High gym.
Many fans are expecting the
closest scores of the season in
that the match will undoubtedly be
the decisive game now that juneau
has won two of the three played
and Juneau winning tonight will
have cinched the Channel champ
ionship On the other hand Doug
las winning will prolong the series
Only a failure to snap out of il
and get under way at an early
start and to keep from the lethar
gic state of reaction that some
times causes the stronger team to
lose to the weaker should prevent
Juneau from reaping somewhat
sweeping victory.
AOdCn w d L u has CndnSCQ liz
starting combination to include J
Orme and Jackson, forwards; Jen
sen. or Berggron, center, and Stur
rock and Brandt, guards This
will give a strong defensive lineuf
and at the same time provide
chances for some good scores. The
public, fortunate enough to SEE
last Saturdays game between the
High School and City team will re
member that it was Jackson who
foiled the rangy players time and
again, scoring eight points in the
game. The fans will also ramem
Der that it was ]. Orme who spot
ted up 16 counters for the high
school, which is record for Chan
mel games, for the season. They
will likewise not forget the air
tight defense played by both Stur
rock and Brandt, who held thei,
opponents to few field goals and
those had to be long shots mostly
Coach Durham will have his
team go on the floor in full fight
ing strength. using the same line
ups as the last two games. The
Islanders have almost perfected
their defense, but their particular
type will not be so successful on
a larger floor such as the juneau
floor.
At all events, the game promises
to be a thriller 1t will be pre-
coded by a girls game, which will
start promptly at s O'clock. The
Douglas girls. of course, are slated
to win, by all past performances
but the Juneau girls are going tc
put up hard fight Johnnie Os-
born will preside with the whistle
he having been mutually accepted
by both sides.
In case Juneau wins tonight, the
Hilltoppers will play a return game
with the Douglas Firemen at Doug
las next Friday.

LOWDEN HOLDS RESEARCH
WILL SAVE AGRICULTURE
Declares History Shows Countries
Have Gone to Ruin When Soil
Has Been Impoverished.
Rv the Associated Press.

EUGENE, Greg, June 12.-Frank
o, Lowden, former Governor OF Illinois,
here as the commencement speaker at
the University of oregon, said yesterday
that research was the greatest weapon
of the age with which to attack what
he termed "a grave agricultural prob
lem"
"The history of civilization" Lowden
said, has shown that cities and coun-
tries have gone to ruin and decayed
when the soil of the country has be-
come impoverished. This and the fact
that cities are drawing more and more
of the most efficient people from the
farm represents the problems that this
country, as well as all others, must face.
"ImpoveriShment of soil comes when
farmers, to meet forced overhead, must
grow the same crops which year after
wear net the most" he continued,
rather than rotating, as they should,
to enrich and preserve the soil"
1.-THE need for research, not only in
material sciences, but in economic and
social phases as well, Is paramount"
Lowden asserted Research should ex-
tend particularly to distribution of prod

Business Notes

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 12-Election of
two officials of the First National Bank
to the directorate of the Tidewater AS
ISOLATED Oil Co. has strengthened re-
ports in Wall Street that interests iden-
titled with the bank have acquired a
substantial interest in the company.
The Rubber Exchange of New York
has reduced the commission charged
members and non-members residing
abroad. Beginning next month the
commission per contract of $500 pounds
for foreign members will be $40 and
foreign non-memebrs $17.50.
An extra long season for Spring mer-
chandise is reported by the Hardware
Age. Business in this industry through
out the country is reported satisfactory.
The number of buyers in the New
York market has shown a substantial
increase in the last year, although the
total is slightly less than that reported
at this time last year.
Eastern and Middle Western Stores
are placing large orders for sun-tan
bathing suits, with the result that
quick deliveries on the more popular
lines are difficult to obtain.
Manufacturers foresee a return to
favor of the yellow and green gold
watch. Reports of jewellers on Spring
sales are said to indicate that the trend
away from the white gold type will
reach its peak next Spring.
