An entertainment of real merit thmt pleased ill who attended and net tod the high school student body a Beat sum wu the carnival put on at the auditorium Wednesday night. En tering the buitdinr the visitors were greeted with a chance to subscribe for the Beaverton Hummer, the high school paper; were allowed for a nom inal sum to try their skill on a game resembling the "nigger baby" of the circus, except that the balls were-i thrown at effigies of the four male umbers of the faculty; or might par take in a game that resembled some thing of a cross between baseball and roulette. And here early in the ev .aning they were entertained by i basketball game between the Beaver ton Boys and the Lincoln High School team which resulted in a score of 18 for Beaverton and 23 for Lincoln.

A peanut and candy booth on the game floor was presided over by Ad eline Reiff, Lester Croft, Gertrude Oberg and Lua Germiquet. They not only sold the articles in their booth but introduced visitors to the adjoin ing room where the "Chief Not" wai to be seen by merely looking in a mir nr. This was good for a laugh at al most anyone's expense. A -Christmas booth offered dainty linen handkerchiefs and collars and euff sets of organdie, the work of the domestic art girls. Ferne Powell and her assistants made everyone wel come there. Mr. slather, at the piano, provided a musical program for all who' had time to hear.

Already the boys' team has played and lost tow games but they find their team 'developing in a manner that promises well for a successful season. Kera mer, Merrill, Masters and Boring of last season's squad, are developing into players of even greater promise than last season's performance indi cated and Barnes, Malarkey, Jonas, Wilson and Ernest Masters are now players rapidly developing the tech nique of the game. Beaverton will have a strong team this season. So far, the girls have done nothing but practice. The team selected ; is as follows: Crete Gray and Virginia Wilson, forwards; Velma Davies, cen ter; Helen Kearns, side center; Ruth Jones and Marian Jones, guards; Ev elyn Larson, Janet Huntley and Fran ces Allen, substitutes. Miss Johnson, who is coaching the team, expects an excellent showing and the public is assured some interesting and scrappy games as the season progresses. Misses Edna Hocken and Edith Weed are home from 0. A. C. to spend the holidays. TJrsel Narver and Lefioy Ekstrom, students at 0. A. C, are home for the holidays.

It's live and learn with us all, but this bit of high fi nance will probably cut down the credits extended at rural stores and possibly work a hardship on some de serving people. The rider on the fair bill before the legislature this week that sought to establish the Mock's Bottom site for the 1925 Exposition by putting the selection in the hands of the Port of Portland was fortunately caught in time and died the death which it rich ly deserved. The backers of this submerged bit of river bed who are trying to foist it onto the Exposition in order that their worthless nrop- erty may be converted into a real value at the state's expense have cer tainly come to a pretty pass. This piece of wanton trickery, thus fortu nately promptly exposed, should be the death knell of the hopes of this designing coterie of profiteers and make way for the consideration of sites which offer posibilities for something more than sunken garden effects and grease covered waters for the visitors who are to come in 1926.

Mr. Norton says that the pres. ent is a very opportune time for vet erans of all wars to see that their, discharge papers are is proper shape, for the government is paying special attention to this work and the advan tages which acme to men for service in the army of Unci 8am are well worth the effort necessary to estab lish identity. Let us who are in middle life Forget our cares a while, And lay aside eternal strife To spare some time to smile. O that we could turn back a page A leaf or two of time And return to that by-gone age When we were in our prime. So let's imagine Christmas Day That we are young again. As with the kids we romp and play ' Forgetting we are men. For what would greater to us be Than to enjoyonee more ' The workings of the toys we see That lay upon the floor. So get the spirit in your soul And feel again delight Let declining years backward roll Upon this Christmas night. As now they seem shorter to grow At last we find too soon The sunrise we behold its glow, But see no rising moon. The pleasures we indulge in now To us once seemed so mild. Look just the same I will allow To every growing child. Upon all-fours let's now get down To be the horse or bear. Thus chase away that sullen frown And say "slridoo" to care. And it will be a worth-while game For as to even try To bring remembrance of the same Of days that have gone by. So search the corners of your heart Where anguish likes to hide, And bid all weariness depart At the time of Yutetide. 0. O. SMITH. AN OLD LANDMARK REMOVED BY DEATH GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN I love my scrub cow. She gives me employment every day in the year. She consumes my hay and grain, and grows fat and sleek. She is a thing of beauty, tho a, burden forever. To produce milk and butterfat would de tract from her physical beauty; there fore, it is unreasonable to expect it of her. She helps to reduce my income, tax. I love my scrub cow. She is a rluxury. Dairymen are entitled to luxuries as well as other people.
