" The Legion guard basketball team won a notable victory at Silver- ton last Saturday night, defeating the Silverton Athletic team by a score of 2'.) to 24. It was the f.rnt appearance of the local aggre - gat.on and they dal remarkably fine work. The team was composed of Mix hchrunk, Kinney. Black and Hal . with Loy, Walker and Rey- nobis in reserve. It was a good clean exhibition, devoid of wrangling, and the local hoys won by superior work. Ron- aid McKinney officiated as referee. Manager Byers accompanied the boys, and Messers. Ray and Smiley. ardent fans, likewise were in attend- ance The Letrion-Cunnl team 1nrn. ed to Amity Wednesday and defeat- ed the team at that place 31 to 17. The high school basketball squad u n d e r the management of "Bob" Craven, and backed by the student body generally is active and during the past week has one victory to its credit and one defeat for the other side of the ledger. Last Friday night the Hubbard II came here and proved easy victims for the local boys, the final score be ing 25 to 5. The armory was filled with local enthusiasts and the exhi bition was a good one, devoid of wrangling or horseplay. Two prize songs were introduced with telling effect. Prizes being offered by the faculty for the most effective pro ductions and first honors were award ed to Leslie Clemo and the second to Wilbur Underhill. Here is Mr. Clemo's effort, with the tune "Hail, Hail, full of cheer: Come and join us in a cheer While we are all together. Cheer for Independence, For her colors bold: The maroon and the gold. We are loyal and true To her honor and fame, and her glorious name. We'll fight to the last, so let's cheer for I. II. S. Mr. Underbill's production I s variable as to application and for the Hubbard game was as follows: IIuhbard. V think you've got a "Ugniy leam Wake up, you've only had a dream! Ere this night is o'er,, With you we'll mop the floor! While you are shaking out the dust we'll roar II Hubbard dear old Hubbard, You're the only s s squash that I adore- Before the moon shines on the Willamette, We'll hang your hides upon the armory door. A return game is scheduled with Hubbard at Hubbard for January 2Sth. Independence Hi went to Dallas Tv.e&day afternoon and the county seat boys put one over on them and took a toll of a uniform belonging to the local team, probably as a men-crto of the occasion. Fall' City high school is scheduled to ccme here January 21, and it is expected that it will be a ; fast, exciting contest. In The Churches Christian Church Services will be held in the Christ ian Church both morning and even ing next Sunday. Rev. Harold' 8. Hull of Eugene will come here for that purpose. The morning theme will be "The Masterpiece of the Mas ter," and in the evening, "The New Things of the ( Christian Life." The public m cordially invited to these services. M. E. Church The meetings at' the M, E, Church are Increasing in interest. Evange- list Ebert is preaching strong ser mons, and many are being helped and encouraged by them. Do not fall to hear him on Sunday morning and evening. Sunday morning, 11a. m. Rev. Ebert will speak on "Heaven" and in the evening at 7:30 on the subject which he believes In thor oughly, "The Second Coming of Christ." A subject of vital interest throughout the. world just nov Last Sunday was quarterly meeting day at Buena Vista and Independence. The reports show the work of the church to be in a favorable condition. Finances are met in full at both places to December 31, 1920, and a spirit of harmony prevails. The Rev, E. E. Gilbert, District Super intendent, preached at Tiuena Vmta in the morning and in Independence in the evening o large audiences and it is safe to say the people will gladly welcome him when he comes again. t A good attendance at the Epworth j league last Sunday even Eng. r.n,.,i j ; We were Had to welcome in our congregation Mr. and Mrs. Tilton t Monmouth last Sundav momintr ami evening, ; Th(; j-y gchool meeis SundHy morning at w 0,c,otk and wg are ,ad tQ npQrt g ht;a,th both in intcregt ad rnc.mbers.

Arthur Smith is our new president and things are humming. You think this is the new something I was talking about.

U. the pastor will speak on the theme of "Why every young person 'should be a Christian." and last of all the installation of the new officers of the B. Y. P. U. This sen-ice al though primarily for the young folks is for you too, for you are no older than you feel. Come out and give the young folks a good crowd and show them that you are interest ed in their work. New Method of Identification. Not only are the finger prints of ev ery human being different but the po sition of the bones of the fingers, and also the shape of the nails are differ ent. Doctor Beclere, a well-known stu dent of radiography, utilizes this fact In a new method for Identifying crimi nals. The method consists In making! an X-ray photograph of the hand, showing the bones nnd the fingernails. Ordinarily such n photograph would not show the flesh, hut In order that the record may he complete the fingers are soaked In an opaque salt, by nieiinsof which nil the lines and marks are clearly 'shown. Doctor Beelere considers that the possibility afforded by his discovery of keeping a record of nulls as well as of finger prints should prove of the greatest use in Identifying criminals. Vast Wealth In Liberia. The Sun and New York Herald a few weeks ago was probably the first newspaper In our country to announce that Liberia, in West Africa, had just come into view as very rich In natural resources, both agricultural and min eral. It Is nenrly as large as the state of New York, fronts on the Atlantic for about 300 miles nnd its coast belt is only about twenty miles wide. North of the coast belt the whole country Is a vast forest, through which Sir Alfred Sharpe of England has recently penetrated. He has In farmed the Royal Geographical so ciety of the enormous population of this, till now, unknown forest land and of the unexpected resources, In cluding gold and other minerals, that await development there. i u MOIf filial I f7?v p and More on Every thing in our Store in it MlMHlilriSF lf j'' The Quality Store Oaudet on Gambetta.
