FRIDA T. FEBRUARY t, 1M4. OUT-OF- STUFF didn’t live in Oregon and if the Lord didn’t have this state in mind when ho put oil bags oa ducks. I wonder why natives do not actu ally have webbed feet—how many rain drop* fall on a ten mile square in one hour—how astronomers know that there are one hundred and seven ty billion suns in the milky way and if so, who counted ’em—arhat makes ’em call a cargo a shipment and a shipment a cargo—why a fish ean’t be weighed by hi* scales—why coy otes howl at the moon—why a black hen lays a white egg and white hens don’t lay black ones—why a dog ean’t be «almoned twice and a com- neon ant lives longer than a dog and a darned old vulture outlives man by many yearn? Guess man eats too wholesome food. That must be the answer to that one. Now don’t any it you folks go to eating carrion on my say-so, but that’s the principal iiet of a vulture and he attains the ripe old age of 108. You know I’ve aorta got to mix up indoor stuff with my outdoor stuff when it rains all the time and 1 :an*t get out to see what’s doing in the outdoors. But one thing I know for sure and that is the fact that it is going to bo a mighty tough spring oh the poor old Chinese pheasants. Their- nests win be swamped out in the bottoms likely and if forced to nest on higher ground they have more predators to deal with. IWell, any way this winter they haven’t been bothered in this locality with a ball of snow hanging to their long tails. When this snow become frosen it us ually means the death of the “Chink.” Not long ago I asked Bill Ferbrache if he could tail me what caused the ball of frosen snow on the bird’s tail to kill it. iBill brightened right up and said, “Certainly. You see the frosen snow keeps pulling down on the end of their tail so hard that they can’t close their eyes to sleep and they die from the loss of sleep.” I readily accepted this as the abso lute truth for 1 know Bill wouldn’t lie about it He probably would be lieve me also if I told him that I was at one time hired by the government to hunt down all the "Chinks” with frosen tails and melt the snowballs off with a blow torch. But instead of taking a blow torch along I took my shot gun instead. Whenever I found a “Chink” with a frosen tail f scared him up in the air and shot the snowbaM off. They were usually (the Snowball I mean) fastened several inches from the tip of the tail and eo it meant shooting several inches of the long tail off. Everybody in that state the following season was mys tified as to why all the “Chinks’ were hah tafled. Hay! Wake up! This is the end of Out-Doors Stuff for this week. I trust now that the reader is satisfied —the one who said to me not long ago, “Lana, your stuff is all right, but why be eo d— serious about so many things?“ This issue is dedicated es pecially to him. Here’s hoping this bolds you all until next week. I’ve gel for the paper this week. I do not know whether the honor goes to The Sentinel editor, or to me. Perhaps ws should divide the honors. Anyway, here is the story: Net long 1 wrote of my little fishing companion up the river, War ren Dow, how I. carried him across the river, etc, and enlarged upon hi» cheery little smile. One of Warren’s • little school mates clipped the article from the paper and put it on the bul letin board at school. Warren was very much elated upon reading it and upon reaching home dashed into the house and shouted, “Hey, mams, I got my name in the funny paper!” God gives u* sunshine and God gives us rain, but so much of this dampness sure gives me a pain. And how! The sun pope out the other morning for a few seconds and both the cows took for the barn. It was such a strange sight thst it frighten ed ’em half to death. They were both shy on milk that evening. It sorts of ■ gave me a mental shock and I sat around in a kinds dsss all the balance of the day wondering if the world was really coming to an end. But it didn’t last long, or rather, it didn’t shine long. A big black cloud came swooping down upon Old Sol and «mellowed him up just as if he was a mere nothing, instead of being the biggest »hot of the eky—eo torrid that no living thing can exist within millions of miles of his rays. But that big black cloud didn’t even have to call for help to smother him. And the rain that had actually ceased for five whole minutes began failing. It looked as though the big black cloud was ashamed of itself and was shed ding a few billion tears for blinding poor old Sol. And than the wind came howling along, uprooted a few trees and seemed to chortle in glee at Sol’s downfall. There, folks, is your bedtime story for this week. If that doesn’t put you to sleep, then just try resding the rest of this issue. If you’re not asleep by that time—well, you can take it, v. no doubt about it I am writing this concerning the weather, January 18th, for an issue to appear later. If when this is published Sol is actually shining and “happy day* are hero again,” I’ll probably feel like the sport sheet writers who gave Columbia the horse laugh and gave them the chance of the prover bial snow ball to win the Rose Bowl classic. "Out where the West begins—where the sun shines a little brighter," that’s where the raindrops never grow lighter, where they fa» day and night, air—“Out where the West be gin»." Just merely a few lines that the author neglected to supply to his popular verses. But now, let’s get away from such serious stuff as rain drops, the sun and tbs cows and the »rind, and dip into a lighter vein—something that smacks of murder for instance.

North Bend held a slight advantage throughout the fray, Coqui He ’« best exhibition coming in the second quar ter. At the end of the first period the count was 8 to 8 for the Bulldogs, the locals coming back in the next canto to tie the game up at 10 all at half time. The bay team again pulled away in the third quarter, 16 to 11. and held this advantage until the end. Lineups: North Bend (17) Coquille (21) (8) Musens F Davis (8) (4) Anderson ’ F Bailey ’ (8) G a tike Collier (1) C (8) Lind G Morris (6) Btonecypher (5) G (2) Velde (1), Substitutes: Coquille—iPook Donaldson (1).’ North Bend—Smith, Watson. Referee, Marsden. The North,Bond scrubs also won, defeating Coquille’s seconds, 23 to 12. Marshfield won the other two frays of the week-end, beating Myrtle Point Friday night, 22 to 14, and Bandon on Saturday night, 45 to 17. Games tonight bring Bandon to Coquille and send North Bend to Myrtle Point. ; League standing: Won Lost Pct. 1.000 Marshfield North Bend Myrtle Point Coquille Bandon Coach Curtis French and his Ban don Tigers invade the local field of combat tonight, to do battle with the Rod Devil outfit of Coquille High. (Jp to date the quintet of the sea town has taken defeat firmly on the chin in every start. This is the same rec ord held by the Red Devil«, so the thia evening develops* into a cellar championship tight, the club* being follow occupant* of the cool, hated spot which all competitor* try to avoid. One must bo willing to bo the sole basement king after the final whistle tonight. Bandon held Myrtle Point to a 12 to 11 score in her first game, wa» outscored by »forth Bend, 25 to 20, and snowed under by Marshfield, 45 to 17. Coquille’s mark shows defeats of 27 to 1« by Myrtle Point, 25 to 11 oy Marshfield, and 21 to 17 by Nortti Bends. Scores, therefore, put the quintets more or leas on a par, but if anything Coquille really has a slight edge. lip to date we know nothing about French’s basketball, as this is his first year as coach of the Tigers. Hi* team, however, has been greatly handicapped by the absence of a suit able place for practice, while every game has been played away from home. But, handicapped as it has been, Bandon has a lot of good ma terial on hand. Breuer, six foot aix inch center, Helferetine, MdCue, Young, McNair and the Boaks all played in 1283, while the others on the first string are upper classmen in their school rating. We can’t help believing that under ordinary circumstances, Ban don might have made a different showing in the first three frays played. Mentor Hartley of the Coquille clan will be throwing caution to the winds tonight He has his men settled now, and if anything the Red Devils should be at their beet for thia encounter. Hartley has not named a lineup, but we personally think that Davis and Morris will bo the forwards, Robinson the center, and Collier and Stonecy pher the guards. Pooh, powerhouse pivot man and strong defensive per former, may gain the nod over Rob inson, while Donaldson, though not t starter, has been at least a three- quarter man in the last two tilts. - The uaal "B” team game will pre- cede the main event. iRiverton’s defeat of Powers was the outstanding event in the «B” League last week. The hamlet down the river won out 28 to 22, the j scoee II tile changing so. often that not until last moments of the fray did Riverton muster up a decisive stand which meant victory. McFarlane, the machine gun shooter of the winners, plunked in 12 points to cop high score honors for this fray, as well as for the “B” League schedule for the week-end. Rolfe, the Powers stand-out, counted nine markers, while Jones, a team mate, made eight. Games tonight will see Coos River at Powers and Riverton at Arago. We favor Powers on her home floor and Riverton over Arago. League stand ing: Won Lost Pct.

How to Avoid Common Errors The period for the filing of income- tax returns covering the calendar yeai 1933 begins January 1 and ends st midnight of March 15. Within this period are filed annually millipns ot individual income-tax returns, a large proportion of which report income subject to the tax. The latter contain a considerable percentage of errors which if uncorrected by the audit would result to the disadvantage of the taxpayer. Many are errors of computation easily discovered on the face of the return, which usually is accompanied by a payment of more than the amount of tax due. In other returns it is readily discernible that the taxpayer has failed to take advan tage of the petwonal exemption, credit allowed for dependents, or deductionr from gross income to which he is en titled. To avoid these and other errors, the Bureau of Internal Revenue urges careful reading of the instructions on the forms for filing the returns. Ad ditional information, if needed, may be obtained at the office of a collector, or an internal revenue agent in charge. Also, as a further aid in the preparation of a correct income-tax return for the year 1933, the Bureau has prepared a-series of short news paper articles, of which this is the first, advising the salaried man, wage earner, professional and business man *—In fact, every class of individual taxpayer—of his requirements ifid An Instrument resembling a traffic dgnal Is used to control speakers at the Malden Notary club, England.
