' Baker has been improving slowly, and like La Grande, remains un beaten in its district,, although loser to two out-of:district teams. : . It also will be the last local; appearance of the Tigers this fall, and with an exceptionally good' game indicated; a record-breaking crowd for a high school football, contest should be present to give the local boys the cheer and sideline sup port to which tliey are justly entitled.' ' ANSWER TO ROLL. CALL P , During' the last year the Red Cross has distributed flour and clothing valued at $12,000in Union county.: Much of; the cooda was furnished bv the Government, but the distribution cost the Red. Cross 'a large sum of nioney. : fh rdturn; last fall, only a small number of local people answered to the annual; roll call, with a dollar membership. The 1933 campaign will begin Armistice day to continue until; Thanksgiving, and hopes are high that La Grande will give, more support to this friend who was unquestionably a friend indeed. '"'Without the Red Cross, last winter would have been much-more difficult for all of us, and there is more work ahead this year. It takes only-a-dollar to show real support to. the Red Cross,, and' if; seems that every citizen of La Grande who has' gainful employment should feel it his or her absolute duty to contribute to this worthy cause. Yes, you can-probably have brandy in your mincemeat this Winter. But pity the poor fellow, who has no mincemeat he'll have to drink his Christmas pie.

It generally Is taught ln school with doubtful results, and yet to teach It ot homo' Is scarcely foasible, partly because, unlike reading, It re quires certain Ideal conditions of po sition and Implements, and partly becauso, regrettably, thcro nro too few adults wlio can wVlto either loglbly or with any style. Furthermore, writing requires a musculnr control of tho hand which few llttlo children can bo expected to have.' Thero Is much of the beau ty of handicraft about writing which the typewriter Is fast blotting out of tlie world. Llttlo children or pro-school ago arc being taught to uso the type writer, and it Is not to bo wondered at that when they rench school they sco no need to lenrn moro thon tho motions of ; handwriting.' Anything moro seems to them superfluous nnd absurd, nnd thoy go through llfo with signatures worthy of the feeble minded. Few mothers allow their children to Uso a sewing machine before they have learned a little about hand sew ing. IT the tyiiewTltcr offered any perils of pcvsonnl Injury to the child, no doubt there would be restrictions on Its use. Tho school can only teach nnd give practice, but it Is for the parents to set up and demand a standard of excellence. Certainly the quality of handwriting has a very marked effect on the temper of the reader, and many an examination has' been flunked or Job lost becauso tho w-rlt-Ing was poor. Unless handwriting Is to go out of uso entirely and typing to tnko Its plnoc. It 'might be well If we empha sized Its value os an art as well as n practical accomplishment.

Jurists, today up held the NRA wago scale In Multno mah district court In the suit of Besslo N. Walker against Noble 6s Sons, confectioners, for $H.S0, tho difference between the wages paid her and the minimum wage allowable under the Bluo Eagle. - Judge Mears, presiding In small claims court, based his momentous decision on the Investigation of of ficials working under the direction of the Multnomah county NRA compli ance board, who reported to the court that the wages paid by Noble & Sons weie below the minimum pre scribed ln the NRA agreement. :' Mies Walker, a waitress, began work in tho confectionery as a substitute for another girl who was 111.
