Far weather Sunday will bring out
the largest crowd at a shoot for the
year, for there is not another sched­
uled in Cons county for next Sunday.
. It is the third annual shoot of the
Coquille American Legion, and the
Post has made arrangements for a
large supply of turkeys, chickens,
geese, duck* and little pig* a* prise*
for" the clay bird shooting, rifle shoot­
ing and other games which the Legion
ha« arranged.
Doughnuts and ci<ier are to be
served free at the club house of the
Coquille Gun Club, just across the
river, where the event will be held.
The matches will be so arranged
that everyone will have a chance at
a turkey, no crack shot being able to
secure them all, and even the ladies
who handle a shotgun will find they
can win a bird or pig. Several games
will be conducted for those who do
not shoot.
All the price* will be
dressed.
The indication« are that sportsmen
will be here from all over Cooa and
even from Curry counties.

eight for acquittal he will declare the

mentioned that of greater interest in
and more criticism of our government

would never come when the sacrednee*
of the bench, in it* di*pen*ing of Jus­
tice, would be violated by political ex-
pedioeny. Judicial integrity, the Judge
said, was of greater Importance than
anything else.
District Attorney Wm. E. Walsh,
Ben R. Chandler and Leo J. Cary al­
so gave short talks. The latter two
are members of the county budget
committee, and they spoke of the dif­
ficulty of their position when each
delegation that appeared before them
urging th* need of cutting expendi­
ture* wound up by asking for an ap­
propriation for their own particular
hdbby.
In reply to Mr. Jeub’* statement
that the Lions were going to ask the
county for a 8500 appropriation to
provide Lion Club feeds next year, Mr.
Cary commented on the embarrassing
position the committee members were
in when they enjoyed the Lion* hos­
pitality and fine music by the orches­
tra. He said he would try to get half
the amount budgeted, which brought a
quick retort from Geo. Ulett that the
Lion* would ask for a thousand and
the budget committee could cut it in
half, thus saving 8500!
, Other guests of the club were Wm.
Hagge, John D. Carl, Keith Leslie
and Mr. Curtis.
School Board Session Monday
At the meeting of the directors of
school district No. 8 Monday evening
it was decided to call for bids for the
remainder of this school year flor
transporting pupils from the Coaledo
district, at the Overland viaduct
crossing, to the Coquille high school.
Bids will be opened Dec. 5, and ser­
vice will start Dec. 7, according to a
publication notice appearing else
where in this issue.
This action was made necessary by
the readjustment of the stage line
schedule, which does not allow pupils
to reach here until after the high
school starts in the morning and does
not leave Coquille for Coaledo until
6:30 p. m.
The board adopted a resolution for­
bidding the use of school buildings by
private teachers for musical recitals
or entertainment*.
E. F. Grider, high school principal,
reported to the board that there would
probably be an increase of 25 in the
high school at the opening of the next
semester in January.

Chain Stores Combined
Some months ago the large chain
store organisations, the Safeway sad
the MacMarr, were consolidated, the
former buying the latter.
Locally
there was nothing to indicate that the
two stores were under a common own­
ership, but now that th* MacMarr
lease has expired the two stores ar*
to be consolidated, and next week th*
MacMarr stock will be transferred to
the Safeway store in the Shelley
building.
To avoid moving as much of th*
stock as possible, a closing out sale
will be conducted at the Mac Marr
store tomorrow and bargain prices
will prevail al) over the store. Noto
