The Halsey high school basket bail team came over to play the Scio high school team Friday evening. The home team was unable to gel what players they wanted from the high school and look i»n an outsider. Under these conditions the game was not allowed to be played in the name of the high school.

Herbert Hoover for president and this sentiment seems likely to grow until the Hag fall« for the race Mr. Hoover is hot a politician anti for that reason the people like him. No one ■ftn« to know to which party he acknowledg«*» allegiance or If he claims affiliation with any par ty. He is a broad minded man. with astonishing business ability. When President Wilson appointed him food administrator and sent him to Eump<* without instructions, he hail to work out all his plana and select his sulxirdinates. It was an entire new work for which there was no precedent for guidance, vet he soon manifest«*! a very high de gree of administrative ability and accomplished a« much and probably more skill in fejMing the starving Belgians than could I m * accomplished by another man. He was master of the situation and acquitted himself with honor to his country and to Mr. Hoover. He showed himself to be a big man in every sense of the term. Now he is proposed as a possible candidate for president, and why not? Fie is not a politician and schemer for personal preferences; he is a bus iness man of rare ability. These arc <|ualiti«*« very deeirable <>n th«* pari of a presidential candidate. With the exception of President Wilson, th«* president*! chair ha* been occupi«*«! by politicians, law yers. if you please; and some of them hav«* l>een men of very ordin ary ability. They did not add luster to the presidential escutcheon, nor were they busin«*** men of any c >n- sidcrable caliber. The United States needs a supe rior business man to direct its aff airs now as never before. He should be constructive in disposition and of large financial capability. Mr. Hoover seems to possess these dualities in an eminent degree. His gtatesmanshiD qualities are yet to be developed, though his business ability impiit*« that the qualities of the statesman will Dot be lacking and the people do not care about pollticai qualiti*« If they are of the aencinmg variety. As a matter of fact, a non parti- san president would not be distaste ful to the masses of the people. All of our heretofore presidents have been partisans or party men; Abra ham Lincoln perhaps least of ail. The people would line a president who wou.d select th« best man for for a living would be jobless and there would be more dead State commissioners and their employe« than there arc inmates in our most populous state elemosynary institu tion. Of course our lawmakers do enact an occasional law that is meritorious and in the interests of all the people but for every g<xxj law of this char acter half a dozen or more lied laws | I The interest on 140.000 annually will be 12000. The question is. can we get additional patronage to jus- tify this large expenditure? The answer is decidedly, ves. The power would come to Scio (208 h. p.) with earnings of 11500 and the additional earnings in Scio would be ft 1000 or thereabout, principally for power, which a 24-hour service would give. It can be seen that the interest charge to thus provided for with a margin of |5<M) to go into a bond redemption fund. We are using not more than 40 h. p. to operate the light plant at the present time, With a sur- plus of 168 h. p. light lines can be extended so that the present earn ings of the plant would be doubled without increasing the expense of operation, all of which could lie aided to the sinking fund and which would pay off the bonds in less than 20 years. And this additional earn ing could be easily obtained for we are told Jefferson would gladly buy power from us. Mr. Cunningham, the engineer who made the estimates, stated, we are told, a power station at Jordan with transmission lines to Scio would lie worth ftMO.OOO. or double Moreover, the construction cost, continuous and service would be satisfactory. All that will he required of Seto people is to loan the municipal credit with the assurance that within 20 years she would own a splendid light service without costing the mu nicipality a cent other than half price for street lights. There are but two propositions for the people to decide? Take up the Jordan project as outlined or dose down the plant at the expira tion of the present power lease. Think about thia matter, friends of Scio, for it will soon be up to you to decide. _______ flow in his herd, is the time to mix a high protein feed with that ensil age. and Sunnybrook is that kind of a feed, and will pay good returns on the investment.
