Assembly was held Wednesday
morning Instead of Friday, laat
week. The reason for this wak to
give the football boya a send-off. Af
ter a number of songa were aung the
members of the team adressed the
atudent body concerning the trip to
John Pay. All the way from twenty
seconds to one minute was used tn
each talk. ,
After a number of delaya th
Sophomore class was finally able to
hold their first class meeting for thla
year on September 20. The new of
ficers elected for the year were aa
follows: President, Maude Mllliorn;
Vlce-Preaident, Flora Edwards; 8ec
Treas., Marle Gerardo. Since the
class colors were not decided upon
while this class were Freshmen, a
commttte was appointed to select a.
number of colors from which the
class colors could be chosen. .
A letter waa received from J. Clif
ton Tucker, principal of the high
achol at Fossil, asking tor a game of
football to be played there October
30. They would guarantee $125 for
expenses Incurred by the trip. As

AMERICAN LEGION ENDORSES
STATE MARKET COMMISSION,.
(
The main topic which was discus
sed at the October meting of Crook
County Post last Monday night was
the November election. Such meas
ures as were felt to be clear of poli
tics were discussed at length by
those present tor the purpose of
learning the sentiment towards the
various bills.
The post decided that the single
tax measure and the compulsory vot
ing bill were freaks, and that thoy
should not be passed, and put a neg
ative mark on both measures. - '
'The five per cent interest meas
ure was also discussed, and it was
the unaminous belief of tie mem
bers that thla bill would hinder the
growth of industry and the devel
opement of Oregon. It was readily
seen that the passing of this measure
would almost be suicide for the state
at a time when money is hard
enough to get at present rates of in
terest. '
The only measure upon which the
post put its mark of approval was
the State Market Commission bill,
as it was the general belief that the
measure-would help the farmers to
get a square deal as well aa assist in
keeping down profiteering.4
The anti-vaccination measure was
also disapproved. The Legion boys
have all been vaccinated, and had a
IlfllEllI
Mertachlng
sometime In the 1021 season. As
the trip to Burns la s long one, and
the roads very rough during the
winter months, the game will not be
undertaken with them this year.
The game with Bend wil be play
ed October . It will be played in
the afternoon at : 30 o'clock, on ths
achool ground.' By holding it at
this time, the people will have a
chance to atend the Fair after the
game. There is a great deal of ri
valry between Bend and Prlnevllla
in all athletic lines, and a largo
crowd la expected to attend the game
School dismissed Wednesday after
noon for the Fair. Work wll be ra
samed Monday when no Interference
with school work will be had until
the Thanksgiving holidays.
A ruling haa been adopted by the
faculty to limit the time In the as
sembly before school takes up. The
students will not be permitted to en
ter school until 8:40 ill the morning
and 12:60 at non.
One new atudent, Richard Helms,
haa entered achool thia laat week.
The Crook County High School s
a member of the State High School
Athletic Association. It is neces
sary for a high echool to become a
member of this organization before
they are eligible to compete with
another team In any line of athletics.
Through this organization a stan
dard of rulea and regulationa are
fixed, by which schools are guided.
The high achool Is a member of the
State debating organization. The
dues have been paid and a large
amount of reference material is on
hand ao that the debates can be writ
ten up. The question this year is,
"Resolved, That Oregon should
adopt a aystem of unemployment in
surance." Crook county haa not
been represented in this line of
school activities tor a number of
yeara, and a team is promised by
Mr. Evans if the draft system must
be resorted to. An attempt was
made last year to organize a debat

good chance to see for themaelvos
the value of vaccination in the army.
' It is the policy of the American
Legion to keep away from measures
that savor of politics, but when leg
islation is to be passed that has to
do with the welfare ot. the country
and community, the Legion will take
whatever ateps they think best to
look into the measures.
; The post also discussed plana for
celebrating 'Armistice ' Day. That
day, more than all others. Is impor
tant in the history of the American
Legion, and it is only fitting that
this day should be observed in the
most extensive way by the legion, as
well aa all Americans, as the day of
all days in the great history of Am
erican independence from that tyr
anny and despotism that the Great
War was fought to suppress. No
doflnite plans were laid for the ob
servance of the day, but the details
of the celebration will be announced
later.
HORACE BELKNAP HERE SOON.

pose of assisting his father, H. P.
