In the second half the Vernonia
boys played a wonderful game and
prevented Scappoose from making a
single field goal. At one time Vernon
ia was several points ahead of Scap
poose but by good luck Scappoose sue
ceeded in making its free shots. The
game ended with the score of 15 to
14 in favor of Scappoose.
The only thing that caused Vernon
ia to lose the game was the inability
of the boys to make goals when a
free trial was given. Scappoose made
11 fouls and three of their men had
three fouls each when the game end-'
ed. Vernonia only made five fouls.

Our Pies for instance—they are so good and so nearly like the home-made
variety that it is difficulty to detect the difference. Try our Cream Pies or our
two crust Pies and see how really good they are.
And our cakes are just as good. If th ey were not we could not sell them to a
discriminating jublic but our sales reflect that they ARE GOOD and all that
we claim for them.
Come in and look over our line of bakery goods and see the many good
