MAC HI WINS 12-0 IN SATURDAY’S GAME HERE The Hermiston Bulldogs lost to Mac Hi Saturday afternoon 12-0 In a game that tested their fighting spirit. Outweighed in nearly every position the locals held their oppon ents to a center field play during a greater part of the game. Mac Hi made the first touchdown in the second quarter but failed to convert. Hermiston did some fine passing but lost yardage in many in stances through lack of speed in the backfield. Few penalties were made during the game but freak plays and fum bles made yardage for both teams. With the two toughest games on the schedule over, the Bulldogs should make more headway with schools more nearly equal in size and experience. The next game will be played with Ione, Saturday, Oc tober 5, at Ione. The next home game will be with Athena, October 18. Sales Move to Messner. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Sale and family moved to Messner Sunday after mak ing their home here for a number of years. Two years ago Mr. Sale was transferred as section foreman to the Messner district, but the family has continued to make their home here until the present time. Why New Fanners ? A new man came to town, looked around and bought a piece of land. He then bought some lumber, some hardware and a few tools and began to fix up. He bought two cows, a team, some furniture, some chick ens, some gas and oil, a pig, some feed, some clothing to start the children to school, hired a new well drilled, bought a new pump, bought groceries everyday and will continue to buy and pay, and earn some more and buy and pay. Maybe he might need the dentist or the doctor or a lawyer, and with all these things, some over and over again, he adds to the common welfare and business life of the community. Weather Report.
