The KODAK Store NOT THE HIGH SCHOOL SENATOR Senator Eddy is much con cerned by the alleged fact that the high school graduate is Borne times, nny, often incapable of reading a newspaper article aloud, intelligibly. He thinks the high schools are much to blame. Where in the good Senator at fault is off the trail. Boys and girls are supposed to have learned to read before they reach the high school. The fact that a majority of them fail to do so is to bJ laid at the doors of the archtects of the common school courses of study These courses include so many branches a ten year old boy needs a wheel barrow to get his book to school and the teacher's programme is so full of a num ber of things that she does not have the time for the drill, drill, drill that is the sine qua non of readin, ritin and rithmetic. Tons of Bumpers A sign of Soring and the open ing of the automobile tourirg season is shown in a shipment of 30 tons of auto bumpers on the S. S. Harry Luckenbach which were shipped from Philadelphia and arrived in Portland on the 9th of February. Also several shipments of tires have been received so far this month. These are distributed in Port land and the surrounding ter ritory,-Prt of Portland. A WONDERFUL FUTURE "Compared with future de velopment, public utilities are toduy where the railroads were seventy five years ago when one was opliged to change cars five times when going between New York and Chicago. Most bonds of light and power companies now peing offered should some day be underlying liens of super power Bystems with great cent ral generating stations. Further more, we as yet are only scratch-' ing the surface as to uses 'for electrical energy. Homes, fact ories railroaia and other lines should, during the next ten or fifteen ytars, triple the present demand for electric current. Almost every new important in vention either increases the de mand for power or decreases the the cost of producing or trans mitting it. " I believe the securities of well managed companies suply ing light, power, gas, etc. to be the best investment now avail able, considering both security and yield. I oppose government ownership, as insufficient and corrupting, but 1 heartily approve customer ownership. 1 know of no investment paying over six per cent which is as safe as the first preferred "Customer Own ership" stocks of such compan ies. When every user of a pro duct is a stockholder of the com pany producing it we will have a condition which will be about one hundred per cent efficient and fair." Roger W. Babson.

Judging Radio Programs Too often, when judging radio programs, especially music, ama teur critics do not take into con sideration the difference in recep tion of the various radio sets. It is lo often assumed that every body listening in hears the same sounds, which is by no means the case. A few grains of dust in a tube socket, a loose connection in the wiring, an unfortunately directed aerial, or batteries too nearly dis charged, may turn a fine per formance into what sounds like a poor one. However, the interest in radio continues to increase by leaps and bounds. During 1920, sales of rddio sets and parts ' totaled $2000.000; by 1924. theV reached $ 100,000,000; and it is the opinion of experts that sales this year will approximate $500,000,000 or more. In one Middle Western state alone, 7,500 have installed radio receiving sets. Leave your watch repairing at Swanson's Feed and Supply Store for Haylor the Jeweler. Heppner.

The boys left on Thursday morning with blood in their eyes and in tend to give a good account of themxelves. The boys completely swamped Heppner in the basketball game last Friday night on the local floor piling up a score of 30 to Heppner'B4. , During the first quarter the teams seemed evenly matched and the play was clean and fast But in the second quarter the local ' team began to show their superior ability at. passing and shooting and pulled' steadily away from their oppon ents ending the first half with a safe margin. At the beginning ot the second half the play be came rough and slow with lone, scoring regularly throughout. Several Ileppner men were re moved from the' game because of fouls. Altho the gisls didn't run up at large , a scpre they defeated their opponents decisively. The game was fast and close through out but lone showed their ability to'shoot baskets from all angles . while Heppner missed several easy shots. Very few fouls were called on either side as both teams played clean the entire game. The final score was 18 6. a big margin for lone, but thn game was much closer than the score indicates.
