Madras Succumbs When "Cubs" Play Football Last Friday the Cubi traveled to Madras, where they put up a frame fight, which won them the first victory of the season, 12 to 0. The fir. t quarter started with a bang, The Cube received and were downed on the 30-yard line. Then with few line plunges and end rum the Cub found themselves headed for touchdown. For the third and fourth downs the Cube ware HM with the hall half ovm the goal line. Madra got the ball ! on the goal line and punted. Elton j tnd carried it for a tochdown. Again caught the punt on the 36-yard line In the fourth quarter a pas from Elton to Bill put the old pill over. The Cubs showed much improvement over their last game. Fans remember that during past seasons Madras has showed Maupin how the game should be played, but now the tubing have been turned and Maupln has something to tearh as well as to learn. Those taking cars were Vrrle Bonney, Mr. Poling, Massia Ashley ml Mr. DeVoe. Madras players showed good! IWasion of these ancient and sportsmanship by .mlllng over de-! utlful. specimens exerts a faacl feat and Inviting the team to tav;tiu is indeed gratifying. I for a party.

TEAM WORK It's all very well to have courage and skill And it's fine to be counted a star, But the single deed with its touch of thrill Doesn't tell Ui the man you are; For there's n0 lone hand in the game we play, We must work to a bigger scheme, And the thing that counts in the world todsy Is, How do you pull with the team. -Edgar A. Guest CLCLONES VS. CUBS The big ''Cyclones" will sweep down on the "Cubs" next Friday" and get all upset Next Friday the huge ''Cyclones" of Wapintia will come down to Mau pln and try t0 tear Maupln off its foundation-. The "Cyclonea" are very large but the general feeling aronund Maupin seems to be, "the bigger they cme, the harder they fall." Neither team has won one of the eounty games, so it looks as though It will be a close game. Tygh beat the Waplnltia boys by a larger score than they did us but Dufur beat un by the larger score ro It makes it average. The game will bo called nt 2:00 p. m. Friday. Let's sec everyone out COLUMBUS DAY PROGRAM Last Friday morning the entire school celebrated in general assembly Columbus Day.

BEAUTIFUL INDIAN RELIC AT RICHMOND'S STATION While hunting near the vicinity of Doe Springs In the Blue mountains, Mr. Woodslde was lucky enough to find a beautiful flint skinlng knife. The knife is about a foot long and is oval In shape. It is about two Inches thick In the middle. The finder gave thla relic to Mr. Rich mond and it i on display at their oil station. Numerous relics have been found around Maupln, especially at Indian camp grounds. There is one place in particular on Bakeoven creek wber ton . arrow heads , k,niv(M hav? htn found. Different methods are assigned to the making of these implements. Some think that tho particles of flint huvc been ihippvtl off with a piece of bone while others believe that heat was the main tool used In I'.icir fabrication. If the rock la heated and a drop of water falls on It and cools it rapidly, a chip is formed. Until the white man came, the Indian had t0 content himself with the e crude stone implements, and making as well as using them must have been a laborious tank. GIRLS REPEAT THEIR SUCCESS A demonstration by the Home S making team, Beth Rutherford and lean Re nick, was given at the Le- ?ion hall Tuesday afternoon by the firls who won first place in their demonstration at the State Fair. Another will be given by these same rills Wednesday morning at Cherrie Park Grange, The Dalle-, Oregon. These girls are winning h on for Maupin clubs and achool. GRADE SCHOOL HAPPENINGS Sevenlh ..J Fitfhth Notes The parents of several of the Seventh and Eighth grade pupili visited achool last week. They were Mrs. D. D. Wilson, Mrs. P. J. Klrsch tnd Mrs. E. A Troutinan. A spelling content waa held in ths Seventh and Eighth grade room last week. Henry Wilson and Douglas Rothwell were the leaders. It seems as though Henry knows his spellers, as his tide usually wins. The following pupils took part In the Columbu Day program, which was held in the High school audi torium: Ralph Kaiser, Jean Rcnick, Henry Wilson and Theodore Kirsch. The Seventh and Eighth grades re- ;peclfully challenge the same grades of the Wapinitia schoob to a spell ing match, to be held there at some date in the near future. Fifth and Siath Grade Notes Alice Greene and Allcne Wilson had the highest averages in spelling in the Sixth grade, as did Emery Crofoot of the Fifth grade. Dorothea sparkled in the arithmetic test. Les lie did well in history and Margaret In geography. Watch for many newcomers at the next test. Thi-. year we arc putting the re sult of written examinations on the report cards in the Fifth and'Sixth praties. Some are not so high as they might be but we must remember that Fifth grade people have had little practice iii formal lexamina tioiiB. However, a good student should be able to write acceptable answers to simple que. tions usually asked. It is generally an incentive to better work if the pupil knows his parents will examine his. grades. The papers are kept on file In the class room for . Inspection. The examination averages arc raised if the pupil's attitude and class worn warrant it. Third and Fourth Grada News Yesterday the janitor put up a hanging basket which has a pretty flower growing in it. We would ap preciate it if r ome one would indenti fy this plant for us. The Third and Fourth grades re ceived the St. Nicholas magazine, which they like very much. There now arc ten pupils In the Third grade and five in tho Fourth, making a total enrollment of fif teen. This room started with nine pupils on the first day. The Third and.

(continued on last page) MS Of FICE CHANGE OR ABOLISHMENT OF CO. AGENT Smock Rancher Calls on Rancher to Hav Agent Live Within Calling Distance Ds M. Stancliff, an orcbardirt and rancher of the upper Smock section, submitf the following regarding. the. location -of the county agent and a kg the co-operation of ranchers in this vicinity in bringing about the change advocated: FiUow Farmers, Attention: Our county court pays out 11800 of county taxes and the state and federal governments fumish $2,600 of our state and federal taxes (it was nearly all our money in the first place, farmers paying more than their share of all taxes) to hire a farm expert t ohelp us farm, bat we tr tot permitted to tall kirn WHERE ke shall work or WHAT he shall do. He It boteec! by outsiders! We farmers are treated like child- re" wno n' supposed to know ,wh,t u begt. or thcm anl our "hi'- ed man" is established in an office at the very foot of Wasc0 county, and w farmers are compelled to travel from 25 to 100 miles one way to reach hie office, if we want to see kin i par ion for special kelp! Use of a telephone is often a vexation and requests by mail mean delay and perhapg, no answer. Our "hired man's" traveling ex penses were budgeted at $700.00 for 1929, and you and I have to foot this huge bill, or most of it along with the rest of the $4,400 budget ed for the county agent's office for 1929. The traveling expenses mount up to $700.00 a year simply because the agent is located far from the center of farm activities and farm population, and he has to consume much valuable time and git when visiting us. We pay him but we can't tell him what we want done, neither can we locate bis of fice near the center of Wasco coun ty farming population where it should be. We welcome outside ad vice; we reeaat outiide dictation. Since we farmers of central and southern Wasco county are not given a square deal in this matter, we should join together in demand ing tnat tne county court cease paying out our tax money in the employment of farm expert who is really not our agent doing what we here planned for him to do but the agent of the extension depart ment of the state college, a sisted by the U. S. Department of Agri culture, and controlled by them. Ftrmera need all the expert adrice they cam get but should ba permitted (e govern 'be actions of the agent who ia paid largely by them and qualified to give needed advice and help. AJ1 farmers In favor of abolishing the Wasco county agri cultural agent's office as now manag ed, please sign the paper addres cd to the County Court and get others to sign it, as the number of signa tures determine its weight with the court. Yours for a square deal or no deal at all. D. M.
