HIGH SCHOOL NOTES (By Betty Epping) Last Friday the football team plus a few rooters journeyed to Goldendale, where they met with a 19 to 6 defeat. Considering the fact of the long trip and the opposing team outwighing our boys eight pounds to the man, the score was not so bad. Two accidents oc curred during the game. Guinan, the Goldendale quarter back, ran into the goal posts head first and was knocked crazy, and in the last quarter Lewis Bailev. Hood River's right tackle, re ceived a a kick in the head, putting his in the same place with the Goldendale quarter back. - Both boys played until the end of thegame, even though their brains were a little cloudy. After the game all went back to the hotel. From there some of the team were taken to private homes, while the rest staved where they were. That night the junior class entertained the Hood River team and rooters at the Klassy Klodhoppers' Klub dance. hveryone had a grand time. Monday afternoon Anthony Euwer entertained the student body and fac ulty with his Rhymes of Our Valley ana oiner selections, we an enjoyeu Mr. Euwer and hope he will come again soon.

MACHINERY READY FOR SECOND DRAFT President Wilson formally chartered the new machinery for carrying out the selective draft bill into operation last Saturday night with the publication of the foreword he baa wirtten to the regulations under which the second call will be made. The regulations themselves and the questionnaires which more than 9.000,- 000 registrants will be required to fill out are being forwarded to local boards, but have not yet been made public War department officials estimate that the whole process can be com pleted within 60 davs. This means that no second call will be made on the draft forces before the middle of next February, as the period for classifica tion will not begin until December 15. The President describes the new plan of dividing all registered men not al ready mobilized into five classes, sub ect to military service by classes, as being intended to produce "a more per fect organization of our man power." "The belective principle must be car ried to its logical conclusion," the President said, and headed that there must be made a complete inventory of the qualifications of each registrant in order to determine "the place in the military, industrial or agricultural ranks of the nation in which his exper ience and training can best be made to serve the common good." The inquiry projected in the ques tionnaire will go deep into the qualifi cations of each of nearly 10,000,000 men. The success of the plan and its completion within the estimated time rests on the whole hearted support given by the people, espeically by the doctors and lawyers of each commun ity, and the President calls upon them for that unstinted aid. The President's foreword follows in part: "The time has come for a more per fect organization of our man power. The selective principle must be car ried to its logical conclusion. We must make a complete inventory of the qual ifications of all registrants, in order to determine as to each man not already selected for duty with the colors the place in the military, industrial or ag ricultural ranks of the nation in which his experience and training can best be made to serve the common good, this iroject involves an inquiry by the se-. ection boards into the industrial and educational qualifications of nearly 10,0000,000 men. Members of these boards have ren dered a conspicuous service. The work was done without regard to personal convenience and under a pressure of immediate necessity which imposed great sacrifices. Yet the services of men trained by the experience of the first draft must of necessity be re tained and the selection boards must provide the directing mechanism for the new classification. The thing they have done is of scarcely one tenth the magnitude of the thing that remains to be done. It is of great importance, both to our military and to our eco nomic interests, that the classification be carried swiftly and accurately to a conclusion. An estimate of the time necessary for the work leads to the conclusion that it can be accomplished in 60 davs. but only if this great mar shaling of our resources of men is re garded by all as a national war under taking of such significance as to chal lenge the attention and compel the assistance of every American. "I call upon all citizens, therefore, to assist local and district boards by proffering such service and such ma terial conveniences as they can offer and by appearing before the boards, either upon summons or upon their own initative, to give such informa tion as will be Mseful in - classifying registrants. I urge men of the legal profession to offer themselves as as sociate members of thejlegal advisory boards to be provided in each commun ity for the purpose of advising regis trants of their rights and obligations and of assisting them in the prepara tion of their answers to the questions which all men subject to the draft are required.to submit. "I ask the doctors of the country to identify themselves with the medical advisory boards, which are to be con stituted in the various districts throughout the United States for the purpose of making a systematic physi cal examination of the registrants. "It is important also that police officials of. every grade and class should be informed of their duty under the selective service law and regula tions, to search persons who do not re spond promptly and to serve tne sum mons of local and district boards. "Newspapers can be of very great assistance giving wide publicity to the requirements of tne law and regu lations and to the numbers and names of those who are called , to present themselvesjx) their local boards from dav to dav. "f inally, 1 ask mat during tne time hereafter to be specified as marking the 60-dav period of the classification. all citizens give'attention to the .task in hand, in order that the process may Droceed to a conclusion with swiftness and yet with even and considerate jus- ice to all.

To the Clerk of School District No. Three (3), Hood River County,' Oregon : Following is a statement of the estimated amount of money needed by the District during the fiscal year beginning on March 1, 1918, and ending on March 1, 1919. This budget is made in com pliance with Section 217 of the School Laws of 1917, and includes the estimated amounts to be received from the County School Fund, State School Fund, Special District Tax, and all other moneys of the District : ; BUDGET - Navy Wants 2000 Firemen The Portland naval recruiting station received telegraphic instructions that navy recruiting stations of Pacific di vision shall recruit 2000 firemen by De cember 15, and raising the age of ap prentice seamen from 25 to 30 years, making age limits 18 to 30. These firemen are for manning those vessels of the 737 ships merchant and naval recently taken over and con tracted for by the navy department. Congress provides by law that all men entering the navy for engineer work aboard ship must enter as fire men, but commanding officers of ships have authority during war time of raising rating of such men, and all firemen first class, water tenders, chief water tenders, machinist's mates, etc.,. must come from these men enlisted. This offers an unusual opportunity for advancement for all men wishing to enter the engineering force of the navy and all men who have mechanical ex perience in civil life, as all the higher ratings are needed at once. They Learned Orrhardists of the East Side and other valley sections have had many horses to suffer the past summer from "slobbers," an ailment caused from eating first or third crop clover. An advertisement, proclaiming the offer of a sure cure for "slobbers" for the sum of $1, in a farm journal attracted the attention of the orchardists. Sev eral East Side ranchers chipped in 25 cents each and wrote for the remedy. They received a reply by return mail, and it was as follows : "Teach your horse to spit" Searches of records and reliable ab stracts made by Oregon Abstract Com pany, A. W.
