Hear the bells that sweetly ring,
When you feel like singln', sing.
Keep a goin.'

Proclamation
The turn of the year brings u.? again to the season when man, im

fer his human thanks to Almighty God for the fulfilment of His
ancient promise that while the earth remaineth seed time and har
vest shall not fai.
Our national observance of aa annual day of thanksgiving was
instituted when our Pilgrim forefather gathered together to make
grateful acknowledgement for the bountiful crops on which depend
ed their wrvtvaL Since that first American harvest, progress along
innumerable lines has added to tht comfort, the efficiency and the
security of our lives. Wealth and high position have been vouch
safed ua as a nation. Manifold and great opportunities have been
opened to us aa individuals. Social and economic changes have
been vast, but the spiritual truth remains steadfast that material
achievements are made fruitful only by -guidance and strength from
a power which is above and beyond human endeavor?. Eternal and
universal in the hearts of thoughful men is the prayer, "Establish
Thou the work of ourhands,"
NOW, THEREFORE, I, I. L. Patterson, Governor of the state of

in the husbandry of the fruitful earth, first source of all wealth.
Let us acknowledge the ties of family effection and renew the
oond of hearth and home. Let us confirm and strengthen the will
to peace, stronger now than ever before in the hearts of men. Let
u. share our abundance with the less fortunate, and let us humbly
dedicate our power and prosperity to the service of Almighty God.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused
the great seal of the state of Oregon to bt hereunto offixed this
15th day of November, A. D., 1929.

LEGION SMOKER WAS
PLAYED TO CROWD
OF ENTHUSIASTS
Hollemaa Boys Win Against Im
ported Taleat Other Beat
Interesting
"The best smoker ever pulled off
In Maupin" waa the universal opin
ion of those of our people who at
tended the fight card at Legion hall
last Saturday night The hall was
crowded to capacity and each bout
waa cheered to the ceiling.
The program opened with a bout
between Ken. Snodgrass, who sub
stituted for hie brother, Elton, who
was laid up with boils, against
Johnny Russ of Grass Valley. The
boys mixed from the bell and at the
end of four rounds the judges decid
ed Ken was the better man and gave
him the fight
Cyril Fraley and Albert Hachler,
the latter a husky lad from Wapin
itia, were next up. In making an
upper cut from the floor Cyril hit
Albert too low and the vi itor was
given the decision on a foul. The
blow was low but was entirely unin
tentional, for there is r squarer
lad or straighter shoot' in athle
tics than Cyril
One of the most ..cresting bouts
of the evening .u one which kept
the fans on '' ir toes during the
four round:-, was that between Doug
Holloman of Maupin and Jack Bis
set of Dufur. The latter has figur
ed conspicuously in the ring herea
bouts and is a fighter of n0 mean
ability. In Doug, however, he met
a lad who knows no fear, who has
a punch and quickness surprising to
him. Holloman kept the Dufur boy
busy at all time-, landing the most
and cleaner blows and at the end of
the bout had Bisset's face looking
like a piece of fresh bologna. One
of the Judges said a draw, another
Holloman and Referee Eads promply
gave his vote to the local boy. Every
body satisfied.
- Frank Hachler, a husky youth
from Wapinitia and Jack McDougall
of The Dallei furnished the crowd
with enjoyment in their four-round
mix. Hachler was on his toes like
f a dancer, and in that was closely
: followed by The Dalles boy. Frank
out-reached Mac but the latter show
ed that his punch was the heaviest
and that he was just as quick as
Frank. The judges gave Mac the
decision.
The main event was a six-round
bout between Floyd Holloman and
"Chick" Kennedy, who took the
place advertised for Harry McDonald
of Moro. The latter saw Floyd
knock Gorton out at The Dalles
smoker recently and evidently con
cluded he did not want any of tho
Maupin boy's game. Kennedy came
over from the county seat and took
tho regular signed fighter's place.

Western Oregon Sheep Troubl
The Salem Capital Journal thus
forecasts the coming winter exper
ience for sheep owneru in its terri
tory. "Unless the unexpected comes
in the shnpc of an open winter there
threatens to be large losses in sheep
this year, report some sheep men.
For some time now heavy feedine
ha-, been done with sheep because
of the dry pastures and inability of
the sheep to keep going on ' their
own. It U expected there will be
big demand for feed for this ' pur
pose before winter is over."
He is an experienced and clem
fighter but soon learned that lie
was up against a fighter that could
take a punch and at the same time)
give one, his being just a little quick- i
er and harder than Chick's. In the i
second round Floyd reached Ken-j
nedy's mid-section with a couple of
stiff punches. The e hurt and after
receiving the second one quietly laid
down and went to sleep. In all fair-1
ness it must be said that Kennedy
was not in the best of condition, but j
if he had been it would have been
but a question of a short time when
he would have received the sleeping
potion. Holloman is too much for
him at any time.
The bell saved Kennedy from a
ring knock-out, but his second, Vic.
Eads, realizing his man was all in,
threw in the towel as indicative of
the giving up of hfe man.
The crowd was made up of both
men and women and all seemed to
be keyed up to the highest pitch dur
ing the progress of the fights. Viv.
Eads, match-maker for The Dalles
Legion, refereed the preliminaries
and his work was most acceptable.
Eads knows the fight game as well
as the next one and his work in the j
ring was all that could have been ex-'
pected. Bates Shattuck was the'
third man in the ring during the
Holloman-Kcnnedy fight
After the smoker the floor was
cleared and a large crowd took ad-
vantage of the opportunity for a so-:
cial dance. I
The manager of the smoker, Don '
Miller, is credited with having pull-!
ed off the best smoker to be staged ;
in Maupin. He encountered much!
hard work in filling the card and!
that he was able to line up such a;
fistic talent as showed at hb smok-;
er reflects brightly on his ability as:
a fight manager.
Fight Note
Conspicuous in the ring during
the Frank Hachler McDougall mix
was the presence in the latter's cor
ner of Marion Sexton, city editor of
The Dalles Optimit and Jimmie Nel
son, foreman in that print shop.
With a little more practice Seek will
make a fair towel waver, while
Jimmie's advice to his principal went
a long ways toward The Dalles lad
winning the scrap.
When Doug Holloman was told he
was going against a 24-year-old pug
he said he did not care if he was a
hundred; he would fight him anyway.
Cyril Frnley took hi.-, fouling of
Albert Hachler very much to heart.
It wag not his intention to violate
ring rules and that his punch landed
too low and badly hurt the Wapinitia
lad, grieved the Maupin lad sorely.
Both the Holloman boys, Floyd and
Doug, will figure at the coining
smoker at I be Dalies, bads was;
much impressed with their ability
and signed them up for bouts before
he left Jor home.
Maupin Legion will hold another
smoker on December 14. At that
time Floyd Holloman will fight
"Knock-Out" Brown of Prineville, a
pug of more than passing prominence.
