REPORTER’S NOTES
By Allan Shepard
The baker has a new shipment of flour. 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.

WILLAMETTE 8—CHEMAWA 2
The Willamette University baseball nine took one
from Chemawa, last Saturday, 8 to 2.
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.
