The team was defeat- ed- in a 2 to 1 vote for the state championship by a team from the Medford high school which has won for five consecutive years, and will now retain the cup for winning the state championship for three con secutive years. Members of the local team are Edith Clarke and Don Serell, coach ed by Henry Harger. They were ac companied to Corvallis by Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Clarke and Mrs. Harger. It is thought the debate was lost on delivery. The radio reception here Saturday night during the broadcast was fairly good, and many local people heard the debate over the air. Harry W. Kelley of Hermiston, democratic candidate for the nomi nation of county commissioner for Umatilla county, is a man who has had experience which warrants the support of voters. West end county communities have not been repre sented on the county court for sev eral years, Mr. Kelley says, and he feels that his experience in road building will be a decided advan tage in conducting the affairs of the county if he is elected. Mr. Kelley is a veteran of the World War and has lived in Uma tilla county for 20 years, which has acquainted him with conditions in the county, particularly the west end. He is known over the county and has been calling on voters in the different localities. LOCAL GOLFERS WILL PLAY IN Mr. and Mrs. G. H.

MARTIN CELEBRATE GOLDEN WEDDING. ------------ ee "LITTLE WOMEN" SHOWING HERE TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY. "Little Women,” film transcrip tion of the beloved story by Louisa M. Alcott, has been breaking atten dance records wherever It has been shown throughout the United States, attesting the hunger of the Ameri can people for just such a produc tion. The immense popularity of Katherine Hepburn in the leading role, following a sensational rise to the heights of film favor tn three pictures, also was considered an im portant factor. In the Oregonian following the opening of this show in Portland, Leone Cass Baer wrote the follow ing review: Under a heading which read in part: "Play shows world not so aw ful bad"; "Memories of good, whole- some home life preserved in ’Little Women,." Miss Baer began her re view as follows: “Oh, this old world isn't growing so bad after all, when we, sophisti cated to the point of horror on our feeding of fiction rank as weeds, poisonous as toadstools in damp, dark places, sit on the lowest branch of the old apple tree in memory’s garden, smiling happily in delicious simplicity of ‘Little Women.’ "Bless the memory of Louisa M. Alcott! “What bright, clean, joyous stor ies she wrote! "It is 45 years since "Little Wo men' made its bow to the world, but Its charm is fresh and fine and true. The soul of youth immortal lives in its lines. It is still heart-gripping and tender, a heart idyl." "Little Women” has been sur rounded with a supporting program which makes It eminently suitable for family patronage.” Bulldogs Lose Chamvionshiv. The Bulldogs lost the county baseball championship to Athena to- day in a game on the local field, 6 to 2.
