CHAMPIONS OF OLD
While searching among the shelves
of the library a pennant wss brought
to light, which caused many excla
mations by the students.
"Champions" was the word written
along the top while at the bottom
were the words "Track Meet 1922."
Falling to find a record of this
team at the ichool, Mr. Kaiser was
interviewed; he remembered a few
point winners on this team, Lester

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF
ARMISTICE
DAY
The school has spent a holiday to
which most of us have never given
a thought. We must remember that
it commemorates on of the met
- important days in world affairs.
,The armistice was signed on tho
eleventh day of the eleventh month,
1918. The Gennans came into the
allied lines under the white flag and
asked for peace. Ta prevent the
Germans from renewing the war,
they were required to surrender
huge quantities of armament, am
munition, rtor.es, railroad engines
and cars, automobile trucks, air-
planes, tanks and submarines. The
German soldier in the trenches wero
permitted to go home. Many of us
in High school can not remember
the first armistice day, but we can
Imagine the relief of the whole
world when it became known that
the great world power,! had declared
an armistice.
Mr. Hampton and Mr. DeVoe
spent the week end chasing big white
Jack rabbits as guests of Pete Kirsch.
They reported a score of 50-0 againtt
the rabbits.

NOVEMBER DAYS
November in general Is a bleak
month with rains, aleet and rtorms.
However, this year Oregon has al
most continual sunshine with each
morning a trifle sharper and frost
ier. Several kinds of late flowers
including a few roses, are still
blooming.
Thki bleak month is cheered by
the festival of Thanksgiving, which
was first given by the Pilgrims to
show their thankfulness after a
year of hardships. We, too, should
be thankful each year for ample
food, clothing and shelter, and we
. hould show our thankfulness on
this day.
A short poem by Bryant brings
to us memories of a Thanksgiving
dinner:
K turkey's In the oven,
Red apples in the bowl,
You ought to see the pumpkin pie
I'd like to eat it whole.
I'd love to get the wishbone, for I'd
Make a wish, Oh, myt

Mother's pumpkin pie.

CO. AGENT LEADER

Mature
la our issue of October 17 we
priated , a communication from Mr.
D. M." Stancliff, Smock rancher, re
garding the county agent. Now
comes Mr. F. L. Ballard, county
agent leader, Corvallls, and answers
Mr. Stancliff's letter. Mr. Ballard's
letter follows:
C. W. Semmee
Maupin Times
Maupin, Oregon.
Dear Mr. Semmes:
I note in the October 17 issue of
your paper a letter written by D.
M. Stancliff regarding the cervices
of the county agricultural agent, C.
W. Daigh. I do not care to enter
Into a newspaper discu, sion of this
point On one point, however, the
fscts should be presented.
Upon the establishment of coun
ty agent work in Wasco county sev
eral years ago the matter of the loca
tion of the office was given con: id
eration and it waa decided that The
Dallea would be the most convenient
i" - Until Mr- Stancliff brought
the matter to our attention we never
knew that the wisdom of this deci
sion was being questioned. So far
si thla office is concerned our only
interest is to have the office located
where it will be of maximum rervice
to the farmers of the county. We al
so wish to state that the work which
the county agent does in Wasco
county is determined by the farmers
of Wasco county, and while more
than half the funds used in the coun
ty agent budget come from sources
iutside the county there Is no in
tention to be arbitrary in the direc
tion of the agent's activities.
If Mr. Stancliff wishes more work
done in his neighborhood the county
agent, or representatives of this of
fice, or both, will be glad to meet
with him and his neighbors at any
time to consider the matters that
should be given attention there, and
we will include in the program of
work for next year as many lines of
effort falling within our field of
work as the circumstances justify,
and on these points I believe there
will be no serious disagreement,
ery truly yours,
F. L. BALLARD,
County Agent Leader.
Mr. Stancliff also received a copy
of the above letter, and comments
on same in the following:

Mr. Ballard, says further: "We
alo wish to state that the work
which the county agent does in Was
co county is determined by the
farmers of the county." Since when,?
Mr. Teutsch, assistant county agent
leader, recently told the writer in
the presence of the county agent
that "we" (he and Mr. Daigh) plann

speaking of demonstrations and
special projects in particular.
PIONEER OF 1SSS DIES
IN DALLES HOSPITAL
Robert &aatti Pa, Away After
Long Period of IUnM the
Fnaoral Hold Toooday
Once more The Time is called
upon to chronicle the passing from
this life ef one one of those men who
opened up this section te civilization
and who carved a home from among
the Junipers and aage brush on Wap
inKia Plains Robert Beattie.
Mr. Beattie and wife came to this
Section in 1886 and settled on Juni
per Flat near Tygh Valley. Here
their children were born and here
they went to school and here they
were married. Among the early set
tlers there were no kindlier neighbors
than the Beatties. Always ready to
extend a helping hand to those in dis
tress, to forget themselves that others
might be made comfortable, ministers
to the ill and afflicted they made
warm spots in the hearts of all who
knew them, and they were many.
Robert Beattie wa born in Lan
castershire, Scotland, September 26,
1842. He remained in Scotland until
He has arrived at the age of 20
then came to this country, settling
first in Illinois, where he met and
married Miss Emma Hughes. From
Illinois the young couple emigrates
to Nebraska, from there to Kansas
then back to Nebraska, coming to thii
state in 1886. They resided on th
Flat until 1909, when they moved U
Dufur and resided there until Mrs
Seattle answered the final summon:
in 1918, since which time the subjec.
of this obituary came to the Flat ant
made his hame with his daughters
Mrs. John McCorkle, since deceased
and with his son at Hartland, Wash
ington. To the couple three children were
born, they being Louisa J., Anna R
both preceding their father, and
bcott R. Beattie. Mr. Beattie'f
death occurred at The Dalles hos
pital on Saturday, November -9.
Funeral services were held on Tues
day at the Maupin church with Rev.
Smith, pastor, officiating. Burial
was made in the Kelly cemetery,
the remains being followed to theii
last resting place by a large con
course of sorrowing friends.
Mr. Beattie is survived by his son
and six grandchildren and two great
grandchildren.
Mr. Ballard, makes a still more re
markable statement when he says,
"while more than half the funds
used in the county agent budget
comes from sources oufcide the coun
ty there is no intention to be arbi
trary in the direction of the agent's
activities."
Now, fellow farmers, for the
facta. We pay $1800 of the $4400
total expense of a county agent out
of our county taxes. Our county
court votes this appropriation. This
amounte to nearly 4 1 per cent of the
total. Where does the rest come
from? From state and federal
taxes. Does not Wasco county pay
any state tax? Wasco county pays
$127,531.19 state tax in 1929 and
$105,312.69 county tax. (See Blue
Book Page 90.) I haven't the
figures handy for federal revenue
derived from Oregon but Oregon
inns including the taxpayers of Wac
co cc-linty are not exempted from
federal taxation. Every pound of
tobacco, every pack of cards, etc.,
pays federal revenue. I label the
above quoted statement as mislead
ing and call upon Mr. Ballard to re
tract. I hope the farmers of central and
southern Wasco county will express
themselves in no uncertain terms to
the county court os regards this mat-
ter of the location of the county

If Mr. Daigh and his predecessors
- , had not done srood work for the
- , farmers of this county, we should
demand the abolishment of the coun
tv agent's office unconditionally,
The point of the matter is this: they
might have done much better, if
the office has been centrally located
