Welter , MIQN SCHOOL NOTES, (8 a8a uiaij panutuioo) The boys played an exception ally good game, although we have to admit that Forest Grove beat our boys on their own floor. But many things must be taken intb consideration. In the first place, the Beaverton boys con tracted for a game with Forest Grove high school, but Forest Grove played two P. U. players. Everyone knows that when the high school boys go to college H they sure will play the game in improved style. jjj Beaverton played a good game m all the way through. The guard m ing was exceptionally well done ll in spite of the adverse score. Roy j and Francis added to their lau Ij re!s at every turn. Rodman did j not play up to his usual standard jj but this was perhaps due to the (rough tactics of his opponents. H Ekstrom and Emmons both did m good work, but the Forest Grove 1 quintet simply outplayed the lo jj cal boys both in team work and in shooting baskets. NOTES FROM ST.

Mrs. Thompson of Portland, a graduate nurse, has been the guest of Mrs. W. H. Baldwin for! the past week. On Tuesday they went to Vancouver for a visit at the Barracks there. Mrs. Bald win will give no estimate of the number of men, but says that it is enormous. There were soldiers drilling everywhere. The hos pitals were full. Recruits were drilling in civilian clothes. Relay sound post drills, bomb throwing exercises, bayonet drills and the preparation for the trenches in Europe were everywhere in evi dence. There are many tents in addition to the barracks, good tent-houses, however, with stoves in them. Mrs. Baldwin also visited St. Joseph's Hospital which she knew when a little girl, for Vancouver is her old home. (Continued from Page 2) to move away as soon as they can dispose oftheir property. Mr. Keehn is a capital farm worker and as he has but a small place of his own, his services are in much demand during the busy season. The recent proclamation of the fod administration has come to the relief of many Elmonica peo ple who have cattle of which it is their desire to be rid. Because of the car shortage, the meatless days in Oregon, Washington and Idaho have been discontinued to a large extent and thus the home market for fat cattle has been improved. Our mail carrier tells us that he has had to discontinue service on a part of his route because of the condition of the roads. Holt Dietz has been ill with a cough lately. No news yet as to the outcome of the petition to move Elmonica station. Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Dietz and son were in Portland Saturday. Please give your orders for printing to Holt Dietz.

Lloyd did well in his school work, finishing the first semester of the year with an average of 95V6, but he gets lonesome and wants to come to his home often. Mr. Coe is past Great Sachem of the Council of Oregon, Independent Order of Red Men, and showed Mrs. Bald win, with much pride, a medal which has just been awarded him because of his service there. t .'

Hous ton Post Japanese Arta and Letters. The Tomato association has been formed by distinguished Japanese cit izens for the purpose of making Nip. pon's achievements in arts and letters better known to tbe western world. Its promoters believe that Japanese civil ization is not correctly understood by the vest majority of Occidental people. Her naval, military and scientific ad vancement is recognized, but tile West 1ms yet to comprehend the significance of her achievements In the humanities. The Japan Magazine, commenting upon the new organization, says: "Many foreigners are disposed to look npon Japan as merely a military na tion, whereaa her most Important side is the genius of her unique civilization and character. If people could get a glimpse of the soul of Japan they would have quite a different opinion of her. This can best be had from Jap anese art and literature, which In many ways are equal to those of the West Bven those Occidentals who try to ap preciate Japanese art prefer the least representative art of the nation. And as for Japanese literature, It la prac tically unknown among western peo ple." The association will publish works on Japanese history, literature and art and make translations into European languages of tbe best works of Japan ese writers, ancient end modern; In addition Its endeavor will be to pro mote the Improvement of the national music and drama.

GRANGE HALL "HOME GUARD" DANCE POSTPONED Glass Induatry In America. Glass waa first manufactured in America by the people of Jamestown, Vm, during the year 1615. Comment ing on this fact John Smith lamented that "the labor of the colony has been misdirected in tbe manufacture of ashes, soap, glass and tar, In which they could by no means compete with Sweden or Bussia." The inhabitants of Jamestown did not agree with this view, however, and soon afterward commenced the erection of a glass works, the completion of which waa In terrupted by the Indian massacre of 1622. The first glass factory In North America to attempt the Industry on an ambitious scale was built In 1780, at Temple, N. H., by Bobert Hewes of Boston. The workmen, 82 In number, were German deserters from the Brit ish army. The carelessness of a work man caused the destruction of the plant by fire in 1781. In 1808 a glass factory was established In Boston, and since that time the Industry has flour Uhed. S. P. Shop Notes.
