Individual Coops Used
To Break Broody Biddy
Though the pioneer method of
breaking up a broody hen by bap
tising biddy In the watering trough
has long been frowned upon In
poultry circles, methods still in use
to discourage maternity fall short
of the advantages claimed for a
plan just described by F. L. Knowl-
ton of Oregon State college expert
ment station. He Is author of a
brie circular of Information giving
construction plans for individual
broody or hospital coops.
A battery of these Individual
coops, Knowlton explains, Is high
ly desirable where trapnesting is
practiced in cases of a hen being
penned up by mistake. Where
trapping is not a factor they are
still unusually convenient, safe and
sanitary as places of confinement
for birds suspected of being sick.
The coops can be made in batter
ies of any desired length from two
upward. They are cheap and easy
to construct, according to the plans
shown in the circular, which may
be had free from county agents or
from the college direct.

March fourth, the eventful day
of the inauguration of our new
President of the United States,
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
With his stepping into the presi
dency, a whole nation is wondering
how he and the democratic admin
istration will start "a new deal for
the country." Mr. Roosevelt has
proved himself a leader of men by
his active services as governor of
the state of New York, but he
passes a much severer test when
he takes over the presidency of the
United States while we are in a
state of depression as we are now,
The depression is no new thing in
our country; we have had six pan
ics in the last century, which came
at regular intervals of one every
fourteen to twenty years. There
was a panic while Andrew Jackson
was president in 1837 that took five
years to recover from. There was
another in 1857 during Buchanan's
administration. Industry did not
reach its normal standard for about
three years, but with the starting
of the Civil war, manufacturing
boomed.
The panic of 1873 started with
the bankruptcy of Jay Cooke and
Company, dealers in stocks and
bonds. Industry in general stopped
but this depression was short-lived
and lasted only a few months. In
1893 to 1895 during President Cleve
land's "luckless years" there was a
panic that was followed by another
one in 1907 during T. Roosevelt's
administration. The main reason
for these panics Is over-speculation,
buying and selling of wildcat stocks
and bonds, and corrupt business
deals.
In normal times most people pay
little attention to the way the gov
ernment is run. They make money
and spend it with very little judg
ment, but when the water is about
to go over their head they holler
for the government to pull thm
out .
With conditions as they are we
will probably not have any stalling,
but lots of action and progressive
legislation in Congress. If our thirty-second
President and his party
pull us out of this depression suc
cessfully it should be a winner for
the democratic party in the presi
dential election of 1936.
The Benzine Ring had its week
ly meeting last Thursday. Only a
few were present. Plans for the
club's assembly program next week
took up most of the meeting.
Miss Palmdter's Domestic Science
class went to market They stopped
at the Central meat market where
they studied the different retail and
wholesale cuts of meat The grlls
admit that this is the best way to
learn about meats. They can all
distinguish the difference between
a cutlet and a steak and pork from
mutton.
Spanish IV class has received its
first copies of "El Eco." "El Eco"
is a Spanish newspaper edited In
New York. It contains a variety
of latest news from all Spanish
speaking countries.
Basketball Tournament Held
The three basketball games held
at Heppner In the sub-district tour
nament with the exception of the
Condon-Hermiston game were very
evenly matched.
The first game, played between
Irrigon and Boardman, was won
by only one point In favor of Irri
gon, the score being 25-24.
The Heppner-Umatilla game was
very Interesting. The Heppner
boys, having the better team, de
feated Umatilla 28-38.
The larger and more experienced
team of Condon, due to their un-
canny ability to make baskets, de-

"Here comes the bride!" Tad
McMurdo, the groom, wearing a
most formal evening suit and a der
by hat and with a box of cigars un
der his arm, is walking arm in arm
with June Anderson, who, of course,
is the bride. She wears a very ele
gant bridal dress with a long train;
she has a corsag of beautiful sweet
peas. Ted and June represent Mr.
and Mrs. Bloom on their wedding
day. (There is a rumor that the
best man kissed the bride.)
Next came the two "Little Girls
in Blue," Winifred Case and Kath
erine. McLaughlin. They are wear
ing very short blue dresses, blue
ankle socks, hair ribbons and have
curia They also have big lolypops
and "mamma dolls,' (and dimpled
knees) a
Ah! Here is Mr. Billy Goat (Ed
na Jones) and his wife (Gladys Ca
son) and their child Nanny (Doris

But waithear that tapping?
Who can that be? Ah! It is the
blind beggar (Bill Becket) with his
dark glasses, tin cup, long stick,
and a placard on his chest saying:
"I am blind; I take scrip." Very
accommodating, isn't he?
Here comes a little girl (Viola
Brown) with a short dress, hair
ribbon, doll, two front teeth miss
ing, (accomplished with an eye
brow pencil) and a big lollypop, an
nouncing that she is Miss Str&ugh
an twenty years ago.
Another small girl (Hazel Bey-
mer) dressed very much as the pre
ceding one, announces that she is
Miss Coppock sometime in the past.
Ah! I hear giggles. Wait! It is
two young girls (Anne Crump and
Caroline Moyer) of the early eight
ies explaining how they were the
hieght of fashion then. Their dress
es do denote age, we agree.
We have a change of scene. A
large colored woman (Beatrice
Thomson) dressed in an ample mo-ther-hubbard
dress and a bright
handkerchief tied around her head
announces in a rich negro dialect:
"Mah name am Aunt Jemima Waf
fles." But what have we here? Here is
a large, handsome gentleman (Cur
tis Thomson) wearing a loud shirt
and vest, dark glasses and a red
slouch hat On his left is an old
lady (Edmond Gonty) apparently
of the 1900's by her dresa On his
right Is a young flapper (Marcel
Jones) dressed in a dashing red
skirt, black sweater and jacket, nice
mottled scarf and big red lips. The
dark gentleman introduces himself
as "Big Hank." The woman on
the right is his wife; the one on the
left his fiancee.
What a motley crew we see coni-

wore ragged overalls, torn cham
bray shirt, 1907 model straw hat
and a Japanese coolie's Jacket He
makes a splendid example of an I.
W. W. (I won't work). The next
(Lyle Cowdrey) dressed In dirty
hickory striped coveralls was a case
of obesity (padding was responsi
ble). Following them comes "The
Old Man of the Mountain" (Jimmle
Furlong) with his brown trousers,
heavy suspenders, white goatee,
crooked staff and even a bottle on
his hip.
Here comes a tough sailor (Her
Oviatt.) The tough sailor is wearing
Oviatt). The tough sailor is waring
white ducks, a girl's scarf for a
tie and a derby instead of a regu
lation topper. The flapper is wear
ing a blue and green print dress,
red tarn, a black stocking and a
white one, assorted earrings and a
coral necklace. But wait a minute!

That ends the procession. Now
for some more comments:
Three seniors appeared Tuesday
morning without costumes. They
were James Farley, Wrex Langdon
and Tom Hottman. James had no
particular excuse. Wrex had been
absent Monday and none of his
classmates had "wised him up."
But Tom Hottman had no reason.
He was immediately collared by
Herman Green and Marcel Jones.
They took Tom and dressed him n
he is above described.

are considered much superior and
are but slightly more expensive.
