Boardman fans saw one of the
most exciting games of the season
Friday night when the local boys
met Heppner here. Although the
score would make it seem decidedly
one-sided, the fame was most inter
esting. The Heppner boys made
the local team seem like Lillipu
tians in comparison, but that size
was a mere trifle was shown by the
superior team work of Boardman
high. Both sides were rough and
a number of fouls were called. Eu

It All Depends
"It is impossible for me to save any
money on my present income." No
doubt you have often heard such a
remark. Is it true?
Well, it all depends. Most people
could save SOMETHING, be it ever
so small, if they would give up some
of the things they lead themselves to
think necessary." The trouble is, they
often refuse to deny themselves. They
are not willing to pay the price NOW.
But most of them pay LATER, when
they can ill afford to pay.
