Bernard Shaw Says It Is A Great Speech Great Dramatist Says President U- son's Address in the Senate Is "Most Remarkable Since Lincoln Spoke.". BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS.

"With one stroke he has set America on the risrht track again. It never under- ctnnrl th imnerinl America of Roose veltbut Wilson has rehabilitated American democracy. The country of Lincoln has refound itself." Asked for his interpretation of the nk "npn-P without victorv." Shaw responded: "Peace based upon justice that s all. 'It's perfect nonsense for the peo ple to believe Wilson is Germany's catspaw or that he advocates a Ger man made peace." Sliaw visited Arras, wearing a steel trench helmet, which gave him a re markable resemblance to Don Quixote. Shaw said he was glad to visit the front. "Because," he added, charac teristically.

BUSH RANCH IS SOLI) The J. W. Bush ranch of 280 acres situated about two miles east of Cove was sold last week to E. A. Brownell of Haines. The ranch, probably bet ter known as the old Selder place, has been owned by Mr. Bush for the past j three years. Mr. Brownell has for the I past seven years operated a ranch I near Haines. He will take possession of his new place at once. Mr. and Mrs. Bush will return in about two weeks to La Grande where they will make their home. The ranch is rec ognized as one of the very desirable ranch and dairy places in the Cove district'. Mr. Bush successfully oper ated a dairy branch on the farm, spe cializing in Holstcin cows. Natural conditions augmented by improve- ' ments of a scientific and modern char acter built the "plant" up to a high standard of efficiency and was looked upon as an ideal combination place where ranching of a general character and dairying might be jointly and suc cessfully prosecuted.

DEFEATS UNION (Continued from Page One.) the local field this year and for thirty minutes playing it was any team's game, but it was not long before the combination of Brownell, Larsen and Niles began thereat work. The real scoring of the game was then on and it was only the whistle that stop a larger score. : I The local team is loud in its praise regarding the playing ability of the j Union team. They are a wonderful playing aggregation and it is with regret on the part of all the local men that the Union team ' should be de- Iprived of the excellent hall to prac tice in, that was burned to the ground recently. Every man on the Union team is a finished player and there is not a question of a doubt but that on their home floor, that the best of teams would have to work very hard to score a victory. .. ! The local team is making a great reputation for the local "Yv in the basketball circles, and it is the unani mous opinion of all that the local Y. M. C. A. is the best team this year than ever before. In the game last evening it was clearly noted that the , team is well balanced, the forwards are fast, with Rrowncll bb center, they ( make a combination that is hard to beat; but with the local "Y" team, the two position (that do not carry with them the wild hurrahR, because they do not attempt to throw baskets) the guard positions, are held by the two best guards that the writer has ever seen work together. , Fritz Lottes, a local boy, and Thos. Barton, from Roslyn, Washington, hold down these hard positions and in j (Coming Soon AT THE ARCADE the game last evening they worked to gether and broke up combination aft er combinations, Lottes who has heem handicapped because of an extremely" sore hand, went in the game with two--fingers and the thumb tapped togeth er, but nevertheless with this handi cap played a wonderful game... Bar- -ton is the most agile guard ever, seen t . here is the opinion of many; it makes . no difference which side he receives . the ball, he can changes quickly and throw as well with their hand.. The lineup for the game was: La Grande Niles (21), 'Larseii -. (14), forwards; Brownell (oh center Barton (2), Lottes, guards.. Union Goodbroad (10), A. Lewin, . forwards; Ham (4), center, W.-Cross. ; (4), G. Lewin .4), guards. Your Money and Your Temper Wg grind our own lenses Broken lenses duplica ted the same Factory on Premises J.H.
