Hoys Play Harder AT DUFUK FOK FRIDAY Mupln'i All Around Playing Wu Surprlia lo Those Who Saw Them Play on Friday Maupin dccslvcly defeated Grass Valley Hi on the local fljor last Fri day 13-8. Tho (fame was featured by tliu close checking defense and the fuitt passing attack of the Mau pin squad. All thru the game Grass Valley could not pierce the Maupin defense, so depended on long shots, wheh did not ring the bell as often hi Intended. Both squads missed many set-ups, which accounts for the low score. The gum started with a bang and Crass Vulley mode two baskets be fore Maupln'tightened their defense. After this burst of speed was shown it was Maupin's game. Using the threo-mun pass C, Fraley, "Budge" Greene and Stanley Wood ran up 10 points to Grass Valley's six dur ing the lust half. Tho second hulf was a repetition of tho first, with Maupin protecting their lead with a fast checking de fense. During this half Praley con ncctcd with another basket and Greene rang up a free throw, while Crafts Valley made two free throws. Maupin's defense checked Grass Val ley ho closely they could hardly shoot. ; Every Maupin player played a good, clean, hard gam. Andrew and Jesse Crabtn, while the de fense system allows guards no points, played a dandy game. The next game will! be at Dtfur Tomorrow night, February 11. The boys deserve backing here and can play bettor ball if the town is back of them, so let's all get out and help. DEBATERS ARE ENTERTAINED Mn.

Department of Agriculture 1 Civet Pointers on Care of Milk of milk to avoid contamination. The Department lay. ' particular stress upon pasteurization of milk as a pre caution against disease, something which milk dealers should take to heart and head. Regarding that feature of the dairy business the De partment says: Safety Through Pattauriiation Pasteurizing, or heating milk to a certain temperature, kills the bac teria which sometimes cause disease in people and also cause the milk to go sour, etc. Diseasecausing bacteria aren't present in the milk when it comes fresh from the cow unless the cow herself is diseased. But they get in from other sources, such as contaminated water in which the milk utensils are washed. Don't take a chance. Proper Palli Never use galvanized iron pails for milking because the acids in 1 milk act on this metal and they're also hard to clean. Avoid wood and other porous buckets, too. Dairy utensil, should always be made of material that is non-absorbent, and cleaned easily, and not readily af fected by milk. Buckets made of sheet metal, heavily tinned, are sat isfactorybut be sure the tinning Is always in good condition. Rusty utensils give a bad flavor to milk. More Work for tha Cow The big increase in butter pro duction is explained by increases in population and per capita consum- tion. In 1918 the average consum Inn nf hiittjir war nnr.nn in the United States, was 14 pounds. In I 1925 this had increased to 17 pounds. Cheese consumption in creased during the same period also, from 3 poundH to i-M pounds per capita, and ice cream from a little over two gallons to almost three gallons per individual. There was a very large Increase In per capita con tnimption of milk. It jumpted from 4J gallons in 1918 to 64 in 1926. Mrt. FUcher Hat Pneumonia. Mis.

WEST WOOL SELLS AT LOWER PRICES 750,000 Pounds Auctioned Than December Sale Off at Boise Bring Less EXPENSES ARE 5 cts. lb Eastern Mills Open Heavy-Weight Cloth 8e ' Balow Latt Yaar Fine Wool Looking Up Three-fourths of a million pounds of Idaho wool, the remainder of the Fir8t Nf nal Bank ' oUe Idaho' l?on, auction Private sal. at Portland, Oregon on January 25. These wools had been previously offered at a sale held in December but were with drawn at that time because satis factory bids were not offered. Fourteen growers were interested in the wools and prices received were from 30c to 33'4c per pound f. o. b. Portland. The lots were largely cross-bred wools, the quarter blood shrinking about 50. the three-eighths blood about 54 and the half blood about , 60. The clean price basis ranged from' 63c for the clip, running mainly quarter blood to about 97c for the fine wool. , On the whole, values re ceived were about 10 less than prices paid for the portion of the pool told in December. Expenses for freight, storage, In surance and interest already paid by the growers amount to about 5c per pound,- leaving prises net to the growers at from 35c to 30c per pound. These, while not entirely satisfactory to the growers, are pretty well in line with prices act ually being paid in Boston and indi cate the general downward trend of the wool market during most of the season. Eastern mills are opening their lines of heavy-weight cloth at about 8 below prices of a year ago and it is hoped that these openings of fall lines of clothing will permit mills to take up the fine wools still remaining on the market. SHOWMAN BADLY BUNGED UP C. M. Plyler Writes Tha Timet and Incidentally Booata Papal C. M. Plyler, known to nearly everyone in Maupin, writes The Times from his home in Portland. Mr. Plyler seems to be an admirer of this paper, as the following excerpts from his letter show: "I have been getting your paper regular. I was in aa accident on December 27, and had my knee cap broken and chest crushed in. Was in the Good Samaritan hospital three .weeks and had a bed next to that of R. R. Dodge, a lad from Juniper Flat We read your paper every week and both wondered how you always got so much news. I take two other papers and one issue of your paper contains more news than the other two put together. "I am at my home now and am getting along nicely. You must have had a good, hard winter, if re ports are true. With the best of wishes for the success of yourself and son, I am, yours very truly, "C. M. PLYLER." A Dearth of Nawa. Gathering news N these days is some Job, and if there are any who think the country editor's life is an easy one, wo invite them to edit The Times Just one week. With the mud making travel from the country almost impossible for people to get to town, nothing doing about the city, the weather anything bat con ducive .to society events, the gather- ing of news resolves itself' into a piece of hard work. If this paper is not up to expectations, readers will hav to xcuse us for any discp- nnu 118 cu1U.,i..S We are doing our best that's all we trail do under above conditions. Mrt.
