Ashland High School Notes A inning to Buyers of Haled Hay, The United States Department of Agriculture Is investigating the prac tice of sumo shippers of hay of ve- Veneer- Tbo averages derived ' ing consists In feeding to the baling from these estimates are embodied ! machine an occasional forkful of hay In Department Tinlletin 410, recently ' that is of higher grade than the bulk published, entitled "Value to Farm j of the lot being baled and manipulat- ng widely separated sections in four- neering or facing the bales. Families of Food, Fuel and Use of House." It was found that the total annual cost per person of board for hired help varied from $104 in Vermont and Pennsylvania to $162 in New Jersey, and that the percentage of this cost paid out in cash varied from 15 per cent In North Carolina to 49 per cent In California. This per centage is about one-third in the eastern section studied, about one fourth in the corn-belt states, and etlll less In the southern states. The total of hired help boarded varies considerably with variations In farming conditions. For example, among the families visited In New Jersey, hired help averaged 0.6 of a person per family, In Maine 0.4, In North Dakota 1.1, and In California 0.3. In other words, in New Jersey the average family boarded one man for seven months, in Maine one man for five months, In North Dakota one man for thirteen months, and in Cali fornia one man for four months. ing the forkful in such a way that the higli-srade hay covers the outside of the bale, making the bale appear to contain better hay than It actually does contain. The National Hay As sociation has requested the depart ment to co-operate with it in trying to eliminate this practice, believed to be dishonest. Buyers of baled hay are warned to be on the lookout for this practice in order to avoid accept ing on a cursory examination a lower grade of hay than they intend to purchase.

There is email chance of a "whiz" of a team this year, uui two oi lasi iyear's players are in school this year, t although several of last year's prom 1 Ising men are back this year. Lavern I Buck and Lelth Abbott, subs of laBt ; year's team, are back. Held Harrell, j Hubert Bentley, "Doc" Furry, "Red" i Spencer, all second string men of last iyear, will be in line this year along iwith a bunch of new men. The pros 'pect of a place on the team has i stirred up considerable "steam," so that there will be plenty of men to :pick from. It is rumored that Dick Shinn, the Honolulu boy, is a whiz j with the round ball; Bui ton Wlnne, i Bert Hawks, "Jeff" Taverner, John 1 Finneran and many others, Including practically all the football squad, are searching their wardrobes for tennis shoes, truck jerseys, etc. Milt Fraley, ! last year's captain and forward, is at tending school in I.os Angeles this winter. "Clix" Delsman, star guard, jis working now, as is the other guard jot last year's team. "Gravy" Ply jmate graduated last year. Cecil Grl- sez, recognized as one of the best in ; terscholastic players of the state and a forward of last year's team, has not settled anywhere as yet.

I The football team received a tele Igram from last year's athletic coach, R. R. Hutchinson, Just before the I game Thursday. It read: "A vic jtory will wipe out past defeats. I'm with you to win." He is now holding j down an important position In the ' mechanical draftsman quarters of the I Chevrolet Auto Company in Flint, Mich.

Commercial Department Crippled. S. T. Hallowell, commercial In structor, who had a serious operation on his ear recently, has been attacked by complications In his Inner ear to such an extent that he is not able to attend to his school duties. Mr. Bris coe has f.bly directed the department during his absence. Mr. Hallowell has had to stay indoors to avoid an other operation, but he will probably be back next week. Scenery Made. The art classes and manual train ing forces are busy making several sets of scenery for the anniversary play. As patrons of high school en tertainments know, the scenery of the operas, plays, etc., have always been well executed, and this year's play will be no exception. By having the manual training and art classes co operate in these sets it not only saves the student body considerable money, but it gives the students valuable practice, besides giving the stage the exact scenery necessary. The art classes also made several commend able posters on the piny, some of which are on display in the down town windows. Oh, Shacks! Why is a classroom like a Ford? Answer Because there is a crank in front and a few nuts behind. Announcements I (Paid advertisements.) For Mayor.

With rattlo and bang tho mad dash down Main street b' ought store keepers to the sidewalk and cautious pedestrians took to tho stairways. The horses maintained a terrific pace and W. W., although running at top speed, could get but within two feet of the rear of the wagon. II. T. Flinore bravely tried to slow down tho runaway, but missed. II. C. Stock and a couple of others ran out Into the street, waving their arms. The horses dashed by them, but a slight stumble as one horse shied at the waving figure of Mr. Stock slowed up the equipage a trifle and W. W. gained the foot and grasped the tailboard. He clambered into the wagon, breaking five dozen eggs in his scramble to the seat, but stopped the team. Saturday W. W. could hardly walk from the after effects of the unwonted exertion.
