MORE VICTORIES IN BASKET BALL The Daaket ball game played at Ontario Friday evening resulted in complete victories for the local teams both Girls and Hoys winning from the Nyssa Hoy and Olrla. The boys by a margin of twenty scores and tie; girls by two. Tin local girls are entitled to much credit for winning from a team so much their superior In weight as the Nypaa girls The forwards especially wero so very tall that it was very dif ficult to guard them when they once got possession of the ball. The girls game was close clear through, both Hide feeling confident of victory till the Inst Thl wa the aooond time within the hist two year that these two tennm have met. It alio make the second time the Njraaa girl have been defeated by the Ontario girls. The boy gam waa a surprise to many of the spectator a the local ten in played ring around the visit ors from the first and did not give them a field throw but once. The remaining six of Nynaaa score Do ing made by foul throws. The game was featured by splendid lenni work by the Ontario boys and vain attempt to break it up by the visitor. The final onre was 28-8 for the hoys and 11-18 for the girls.

The Nyssa llos were good losers and If the Payette Kmei prise would adopt the policy of the Journal In writniK up I heir defeat, Instead of putting up a howl about unfair decisions of tlto referee, they would do a great deal toward quelling any ill feeling that may be the result of those K. Hill's About sixty people came down from Nyssa to wlti.es the game and the hall was packed nearly to Its limit by cheering spectators from both side, those of Nyssa trying to spur their (cuius to greater efforts ami the others applauding the plays and team work of the victors. The first two games having been won by Ontario, the prediction of the Argus of a few weeks that we would hate a winning team Is fast becoming u realization ami It is hoped that I he people of this cotnmniuty will up piiri.itu the efforts of the High School, take an interest In their alh miI not underestimate the im portance of u winning llasket Pall team.

Two men calling themselves agents of the "On tario Art company" canvassed Hie town and surrounding country uud took orders for photographs to be re produced by an electrical process on satin pillow covers. The price was moderate 95 cents per picture- but always in advance. Customers who did not receive their pillow cov-a era began to write to the "company," and the letters were given to the Mil linery and Art store. Many came in person to demand their covers and the return of their photographs, uud some of them sought satisfaction at the name store, drawn by the simil arity in name..
