spiritually
and mentally nnd the veteran cap
tain said that the American Legion’s
plan for a universal draft is the one
thing thnt will accomplish a world
peace.
Rev. Tator said thnt thia
would eliminate the distinctions of
war and not make war a sacrifice
to some and a profitable venture for
others. War would not lust long if
the profiteering was removed, ac
cording to the speaker.
Mr. Tator took time to explain
the meaning of the armistice to th«-
younger people, saying that it mere
ly mount a cessation of hostilities or
“time out” while the werring groups
were deciding as to whether there
would be war or peace. German
morale was broken because every
thing hud been used to carry on the
war ami, quoting interviews with
German scholars held while in Ger
many with the army of occupation,
he said thnt Germany was beaten by
hunger, sorrow and discourngement.
The price of war is too great, de
clared the speaker.
If the treaty
had not been signed June 25, 1919,
the war would have been resumed.
Proud of Wilson Ideals
America wns in the war for nn
ideal, pointed out the speaker, Be
said that as an attache of the
American peace commission he knew
that the idealism as represented by
Woodrow Wilson ami his associates
was something of which this coun
try could be prom).
Mr. Tutor, who was a veteran of
the Spanish American war, paid
tribute to those men nnd especially
to the thinning line of Grand Army
veterans, saying thnt hail it not been
for them we would hnve hud no
country for which to fight.
Everything that has come to the
vcter|ins of the World war, accord
ing to the speaker, has been the re
sult of the efforts of the American
Legion. He said it was tile duty of
every ex-service man to join the
American Legion and he loyal to his
comrades.
Mr. Tator said that there could
be much work along Americaniza
tion lines done among native born
Americans.
In deploring the strutting activity
of some Americans, he said the
worth of he country is the worth of
the individual nt the center.

Field
Slows Up Play
C'oach Byron M. Goodman’s blue
and white grid team was humbled
19 to 14 at the high school athletic
field Monday afternoon by a fast
and fighting team from Tillamook,
before the largest crowd to witness
a football game in Hillsboro thia
season.
Turn Out
Good
Player«
Tillamook demonstrated that they
were adept at turning out good foot-
ball players as well as cheese, They
took advantage of every Hillsboro
mistake and converted several into
touchdowns. The Chee«emakers were
exceptionally fast for the wet field.
The anno al game with the coast
boys saw Hilhi eliminated from the
conference leadership and the win
ners moved into the undisputed
leadership.
The first period ended with no
scoring on either side, but in the
second quarter Chapin intercepted a
pass and galloped 50 yards for a
touchdown. Coach Goodman's boy:,
came back full of fight and Dins
more recovered a blocked Tillamook
punt on the 25-yard line. Repeated
¡ine bucks advanced the ball and
Jack Rushlow went through for the
score, John Hare kicked the extra
point.
With the second period almost
over, a pass to Stewart, who ran 40
yards, netted the visitors another
touchdown.
In the third quarter,
James, the basketball shark, broke
through the blue and white line for
a 40-yard run to make it 19 points.
Put Up Real Fight
In the last period Hilhi put up a
wonderful fight and got the ball on
the Tillamook 1-yard line when the
winners interfered with Rehse, who
was about to catch the ball. Again
Rushlow hit the line for a touch
down and Hare converted. Whatever
chance the locals had of scoring
again, vanished when the cheese
makers intercepted another pass.
Hillsboro did not put up its
usual spectacular playing due to the
bad condition of the field.
The
ground was too slick for Blazer and
Rae to come through with their
usual stellar ball carrying. Rushlow
and M. Johnston hit the line for
big gains.
Hilhi made ten first downs to five
for Tillamook, due to the ground
gaining ability shown by Jack Rush-
low. The playing of John Hare at
end was outstanding as usual, and
George Bagley played a bear of a
game at center.
Thè Tillamook Headlight, com
menting on Hillsboro players, said :
"Hare, Hillsboro's widely heralded
left end, proved to be one of the
biggest mainstays of the team, as
did Rushlow at fullback.”

County Is Second
For Low Tax Ratio
versal draft bill ar. a war preven
tive was mode by Joe Carson, a
prominent member of the portland
post of the American Legion, in an
address before the Rotary club on
Thursday.
He was introduced by
Charles Jones, district legion com-
mitteeman, and A. H. Busch was
chairman.
The accusation that the Ameri-
can Legion is militant is far from
being true, Mr. Carson said,
He
pointed out that the legion was
stressing the necessity
‘
_
for being
prepared to cope with any emer
gency that might arise.
Mr. Carson said the thought be
hind the observance of Armistice
Day was to preserve the ideals to
which this country was committed
when it fought in the World war.
The five minute program was put
on by Verne McKinney, who talked
on the subject of “Typographical
Errors.”

The expenditures include $25,590
for personal service and salaries, and
materials and supplies amount to
$6,850. The estimated sum to be
spent on maintenance and repairs is
$500 and assessments for street im

The transportation of students
from the various outside districts
amounts to $7,000. Insurance was
set at $750 and miscellaneous at
$331.
