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.

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.
