MAUPIN WINS GAME TEN-FOUR
Game Replete With Errors Next
Came With Madras Here
Maupin 10, Tygh Valley four, was
the way the score read at the conclu
sion of the baseball gamo between
the two teams here last Sunday. The
home team was the stronger in all
departments, but credit must be giv
en the visitors because two of their
best players were not in the lineup.
At that they gave tho ICaupin play
ers a hard tusscl and had it not been
f or errors the acore would have been
different, with possibly Tygh on the
long end. Chastain and Norvai were
battery for Tygh while McCorkle
and Miller officiated for Maupin.
If Maupin people desire baseball
ganuf. here during, the season it will
be necessary for tlu-m to turn 'out
to the games. While a fair crowd
was out tit the last game, ttill there
was a deficit in the exchequer, and
expenses must be met, therefore the
desire for a Inrger crowd. If our
people do not turn out it la possible
all scheduled games will be trans
ferred to Tygh and played there. If
Maupinltes are apathetic in their
opinions of baseball games, they
stand to lose those for which dates
have been arranged. It costs money
for balls, bats, and expenses of visit
ing teams. The only way this Is to
be obtained is through sale of ad
mission tickets.
Madras will be here next Sunday,
and it is expected a hard game will
he played. Let's all turn out and
help tho management out by paying
our little old two bits, and at the
same time encourage our own team
by giving them our moral as well as
financial support.
Shearing Begins.
Sheep shearing began the first of
tho week several bands on the Flat
were divested of their coats. As soon
ns those jobs are finished the
shearers will go tip the rive;, i'hero
several large bands will be shorn,
notably those of the Mutton Moun
itan Sheep company and Tony Si
fert. General shearing of the larger
bands will begin the latter part
cf this month. Sheepmen anticipate
heavy fleeces, as the shpep wintered
well, and the rains induced a heavy
yield of early grass, which furnished
good feed for the flocks.

Paris is selected by an ambition,
mother as the place where the new
riches may be best shown off. In
fact the mother is particularly ener
getic and invaribly "gets her own
way. The old man can't understand
anyone who will "stand up agin
mother." Eerta Mathews as the
mother puts much vigor into her
part; while Fred Shearer, her hus
band, is meek and mellow. The
neighbor, James Appling, is the kind
of man you talk with over your bac1'

role. Esmeralda, Helen Weberg,
is the usual sweet, quiet heroine.
Alda Pugh and Doris Bonney, art

personality, especially Alda, who
has will power too. Stanley Wood
has developed a "don't you know"

OREGON SAID FAVORABLE
FOR ANGORA AND MOHAIR
State Once Third in Production It
Slipping Backward -
Mohair and wool are entirely dif
ferent but in the public mind are
seriously confused, said A. C. Gage,
editor ,cf the Angora Journal, in an
illustrated lecture on "From Field to '
Fabric" delivered before the 0. A. C.
Agricultural and Home Economics
clubs. Still other errors are going to
the other extreme and calling it
horse, hog or dog bristles, he said.
Even the federal government classes
wool and mohair together in report
ing export trade. '
i .
Oregon used to be third of all tha
states in the production of mohair
but is lotting golden opportunities to
develop a tig and important industry
slip by, the speaker thinks, as it has
dropped to seventh place. Climite
and topography as well as vegetation
were said to constitute a highly fa
vorable condition for profitable An
gora production. 1
One of the big problems in making
mohair from Angora fleeces is get
ting rid of the bristly-like hairs
known as kemp. The best place to
get rid of it is in the breeding pens,
! Mr. Gage contended. By putting up
animals of good general type espec
ially free of the objectionable kemp
the coming herds will have less and
lera of it
Specimens of mohait cloth of the
"Velmo" velvet-mohair type were
shown, one from a curtain used in
an old cathedral for 40 years. This
sample showed no effects of the rav
ages of time and wear, either in tex
ture or color. It was still as bril
liant and unworn as when just off
the loom. " , . .
