We under- stand that the flour of war time will no longer be used. The blacksmiths have just finished a set of new hammers for the shoemakers and they are a credit to their makers. Mrs. Vandagrift went to Portland on Saturday and spent the week-end with her niece, who is a resident of the metropolis. The tailor 1 m > vs are very outspoken in theii praise and good will toward their new instructor, Mr. James. We are pleased to report this. The blacksmiths recently tightened up the metal bands holding the lenses on the school motor truck. They were getting dangerously loose. The iarmers and gardeners have combined forces and have centered an attack on some of the swamp land for spring crops. This is a good move it seems. The nearby farmers have been assisted to consider able extent recently by boys from the school. They speak well of the assistance our young farmers have rendered. A new coat of white wash recently administered has added greatly to the interior appearance of the dairy barn. The grounds also present a view pleasing to the eve. The Senior examinations will be held next week and there is already some evidences of anxiety in cer tain circles. They feel that they’ve “ got to make it” —and they have. A brooder has been installed in “ Little Chicks’ Home” and it is hoped that it may mother the little chicks properly from thetimethey break their shells un til ready for the pot. A mule colt was born at our barn a few days ago and it at once became a favorite with the small boys. In fact, the boys even seem to be jealous of the little mule’s mother in their affection for their long-eared pet — Responding to an S. O. S. from the big gymnasium, the painters appeared on the premises recently with paint brushes, ladders and other appurtenances and are r.ow effecting the salvation—from a beauty stand point—of this popular building. Really this popular place needed a retouching. A CLOSE MEET The Willamette University track team last Saturday managed to pile up enough points to beat Chemawa.

Lawrence, who started the game for Chemawa, was wild, hitting the first three men up, all of which meant runs for the Collegians. As a relief pitcher Williams did well, letting the Salem boys down with one hit and one run during the last three innings. The fielding of our infielders was ragged at times, lacking the necessary team work to win games. Our outfield is well taken care of bv Capt. Liphart and Berrv.
