Sherman county history in the county. People who have lived in the county for comparatively short periods of time, but who have listened to the tales told by the pioneers, are anxious for stories of the earlier days. Here is an oppor tunity for someone to compile and write a Sherman county history. The ranks qf those who made the history of fifty years ago are rapidly being diminished and it will not be long that the historian can find out authoritively the story of the first thresher, the Sherar’s toll rpad, stage lines and the many other interesting stories that could be woven into a history of the county. Because no one, has come forth and offered to do this work, and the need persists, it might be that the school his tory contest could be used to retain some of the fund oí information now available. It is probable that the contest would result in more useful information if each schcol was given a subject by the school authorities, instead of being al owed to choose from a large number of general topics ' There are some very good writers among our high school students, however, the research necessaiy to writing a chapter of history cannot be done in additiin to schcol work unless a good deal of time is given to it- Those interested in having historical facts accumulated and set down might aid by helping the students obtain their facts. Unless some one comes forward to undertake the work that is about the only way the county’s history can be written. VITTLES Speaking of old fashioned things there’s the word vic tuals and many of the moderns consider the word as out moded as is the hitching rack in front of the court house and like it not for that reason. It may be assumed that vittles doesn’t mean lettuce leaves, mayonnaise and tuna fish daintily placed between slicesof too thin bread Vittles means grub, provender, food, of the kind men sat down to in the days when they labored with scythe and spade. It has a certain satisfying sound, but without daintiness One would not say, for instance that one had a luncheon of vittles. And since luncheon has attained precedence over the more hearty dinner as a name for the noon iteal, vittles has declined as a common word But it is all a part ol th« changing custom in which we are becoming less the open handed, cordial, rough and ready pit neer people and more the civilized and decadent folk who are worried more about the manner than the meat, the appearance than the fact What basketball needs is a new set of rules. Under the system followed at pres«nt the idcne, if he holds to the letter of the law, has ahold of (he ball more than any one of the players There is constant waste of playing time be cause of out of bounds, personal and technical fouls and too many steps, until the game is one long whistle tot inter- sperced with a few moments of action Since everything else is limited in the game why not limit the official to 20 toots or if tooting cannot be helped referees should be trained to play “Old Black Joe” or seme other appropriate tune on their instrument. The tempo would go well with the modern game. The United States will jcin nothing as long as Borah, Johnson, et al are able to control opinion in the senate. It is surprising that so many of (he presidents faver adhennce to the world court because it is doubtful if a majority of the people would vote to join it if it were put to a vote. Talk about deflation: Did vouread about the Chicagoan who sued for breach of promise and couldn’t even get seven cents That’s worse than Peruvian bonds. Now we have a new liquor board in Oregon. That is something like changing the board of directors, we guess that the new bunch will go right on selling holiday material very much as did the old.
