, 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.

Mrs. Thompson of Portland, a

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.

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.

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.

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.

Conrad Wolf has resigned his
position as painter's helper at

the grocerymen of Beaverton as
a full-fledged traveling salesman.

Portland, their former home, a
fact that Beaverton will regret
for we have found Mr. and Mrs.
