"Semmes and E. R. Semme. : Publishers. ' Subscription: One year, $1.50; six months, 75 cents; three months, 50 Entered as second class mail matter September 2, 1914, at the postoffice at Maupin, Oregon, un der the Act of March 3, 1879. NEVER SATISFIED We can't help but feel that the end of the world is a long way off, At least we haven't seen any indications that would lead us to believe Maupin people are preparing for It. And while we are not anxious to have it come in the next week or two, we be lieve we could stand it if we thought it would find the rail roads of this country fully satis fiedfor the first time since we have had railroads. Now there is talk of congress granting them increased tariffs, and this in the face of the fact that high schedules are the one thing in the way of greater farm prosperity; and also in face of the fact that freight car loadings in 1925 were greater and the vol ume of traffic heavier than any time in the history of the U. S. There were no strikes to inter fer with trains last year; there were immense crops to haul from farm to market; passenger traffic was heavier than any previous year, and fares are now higher than ever before. So if the rail roads cannot operate at a profit under such conditions, they are never going to earn a profit We are in favor of congress keeping hands off insofar as bur densome railroad legislation is concerned, and we would like to see the roads work out their own problems. But when it comes to jumping freight rates in the face of such business as they did in 1925 there is but one thing for congress to say. And that is "Nothing doing." IT'S A BAD SILL There i3 hardly anything to to be said in favor of a bill soon to come before congress requir ing merchants to sell goods at the price fixed by manufacturers, but there i3 lots to be said against it Price-fixing is undesirable any way you look at it. Goods are worth what they are worth to the fellow who has to sell them and to the fellow who has to buy them, and no more. If one merchant, by liberal advertising, turns his stock over many times in a year, and can afford to sell cheaper than the merchant who does not advertise, then that is his business, and proves that he is a better merchant. He should not be forced to charge a higher price simply because the mer chant who doesn't advertise, and who natusally does not sell as many goods, must charge high prices. We want no govern ment price-fixing in this country, and none of it by the manufaa turers. Let the retailer decide what he can afford to fake and the consumer decide what he can afford to pay, just as they have always done( and with satisfactory results. We've never been able to un derstand why the average Mau pin man will use a comb in a pub lic washroom and then tro home and raise cain with his wife if he finds she ha3 been using his. ' We heard of one Kansas man who. owns a lot of corn and a flock of turl eys. He blames the government for the low price of corn, but not for the high price of turkeys.

MAUPIN, ' - OREGON The boys and girls of the Mau pin high school motored to Ante lope Firday evening to play a double-header basketball garnet The boys were defeated with a score of 20 to 7. This score hardly represents the compara tive strength of the teams as three members of the Maupin quintet were suffering from in juries received before the game. While playing in'the game, Ralph Hammer, who had injured h;s right wrist while cranking the car just as he was starting on the trip, seriously injured the same wrist by tearing the ligaments loose and throwing the bones out of joint. This puts him at a disadvantage in school work and also practically disables him as a basketball player for the rest of the season. The girls fared better in their game, winning from their op ponents with a score of 18 to 12 This was the first game of the season and the girls are to be congratulated for their coclness under the rapid fire rooting from the sidelines, and for their fine offensive team work. The play ers were, Alda Pugh, forward; Helen Weberg, forward; Berta Mathews, center; Aliene Creene, guard; Winifred Kaiser, guard; Merle Snodgrass, guard; Lelah Weberg and Fannie Derthick, substitutes. Antelope served an excellent supper after the game, which was greatly appreciated by the visitors after their ride and strenuous playing. The hosts had also arranged a party but because of the injured player and lateness of the hour, the Maupin people were obliged to forego the pleasure of attending. Mr. Geiser showed skill as a carpenter when he made a cabinet with compartments for basketball shoes. This is neater and more convenient than the old way of storing the Bhoes on the floor of the cloakroom- The cabinet is a real addition to the school equip ment and the students thank Mr.J Geiser sincerely. The 7th and 8th grades are ex pecting to use the Oregon His tory books of Mrs. Cantrell's room for elementary reading. Mrs. Cantell's pupils do not need these books any more as they all passed with credible grades the state examination in that study. . Mitchell May Get Justice At Last Col. William Mitchell, who has resigned from the aviation de partment of the army, may at last receive the justice to which he is entitled. A special from Washington, D. C., Associated Press, says that Representative Curry (Rep. Cal.), author of a measure proposing a unified air service, gave notice Monday in a statement that he would intro duce soon a' bill to place William Mitchell on the retired list of the United States army as a major-general. After reviewing the Colonel's army career, Mr. Curry con tinued: "Had late developments not occurred he could have retired in the course of about two years. My bill is designed to correct the injustices of th's situation and to give him a retirement status with approximately the retire ment pay he would have received had he not been forced out of the army. This is simple justice and I know that the army people would approve such action. Piano Must Be Sold Will sacrifice high-grade piano in storage near here for immedi ate sale.
