scraps that were left over from the
Basket Ball lunch Tuesday night.

basketball teams of Vernonia high
school went to St. Helens to meet
the St. Helens high school teams.
The girls game started at 7:15.
The girl who played center for the
opposing side could almost iutjump
our "Beanie” but our side center
knew what she was there for and
got the bull uh it was tipped off
from center. The forwards for Ver­
nonia made a good showing. Julia

almost in succession. At the end of
the first half the score stood 22 to
4 in Vtrnonia’s favor, in the second
half St. Helens shifted their jump­
ing center to guard. After this our
forwards succeeded in making only
four more baskets. 30 to 5 was the
score when in the whistle blew. It
was a good clean game. Few fouls
were called on either team.

COMMISSION GIVES
LIVESTOCK AID PLAN
Washington, D. C.—Assistance for
the livestock Industry through exist­
ing financial agencies and through a
new land policy to grant grazing on
unappropriated public domain were
recommended Wednesday to President
Coolidge by his agricultural commis­
sion in a preliminary report.
A later report will deal with possi­
ble additional relief through revision
of transportation charges and a pro­
tective tariff. The committee said it
wished to emphasize now that “the
welfare of agriculture also demands
an early and thorough revision of the
freight rate structure.*’
Declaring existing agencies can han­
dle the livestock financing situation,
the commission declared the federal

HOOVER DECLINES TO SHIFT

Washington, D. C.—Secretary ol
Commerce Herbert Hoover has de

that be transfer from his present post

March 4, he announced.
“I appreciate deeply the confidence
the president has shown in me." Hoov­

believed it would be to the best inter­
ests for me to decide against the sug­
gestion, which I have done.”
Hoover said Mr. Coolidge thought
the present need of the department
of agriculture was for an administra
tlon in which emphasis should be giv­
en the solution of farmers’ marketing
problems and that, therefore, the pres­
ident had asked him to become secre­
tary of that department.
He added, however, that he believed
he oould serve far more, to more ef­

team was able to keep the St. Helens
team from running up a high score.
For n whilt it looked us if the score
would be a tie but St. Helens threw
the lucky bail that made the score
8-7 nt the end of the first half.
The second half started like the
first. The score was close all th-
time making it hard to tell which
team would win. Although our boys
played hard St. Helens again slipped
the lucky ball through the basket
making the score at the end 14-12.
Our boys were a little down hearted
after the game but were soon cheer­

the St. Helens boys and girls. They
served one of the best lunches our

MUSIC BOXES
We wonder how many Vtmonia
citizens can remember those old mus-
ic boxes of other Hays, containing a
cylinder on which were a lot of tiny
spikes, and which tinkled out a sort
of tune when the handle was turned?
It hasn't been many years since thou­
sands of families boasted them, but
the world has lived a hundred years
since then. Probably not a dozen of
those little old music boxes could be
found in the country today.
For the last few months the exi­
stence of the phonograph, which
came along to replace the old music
box, has been threatened by the ra­
dio. Many people had grown to be­
lieve that the phonograph had seen
its best. days. But now comes • prcrs
dispatch from New York to the ef­
fect that one big phonograph factory
has been forced to let contracts for
two more mammoth build'ngs to take
care of increasing orders. So it
would seem that instead of supplant­
ing the phonograph the radio is mere­
ly going to supplement it. There are
too many times when the radio does
not render good service, while the
phonograph can be depended upon
to function perfectly at any moment
that it is set in motion. You can’t

—one side of the cabinet will contain
a perfect radio set, the other side a
perfect phonograph set. The Ameri­
can who wants his music “canned” or
carried to him out of the air will
have his wishes granted.

OREGON BUSINESS
Direct From Headquarters
Business conditions will be just
about what you make them in 1925.
If you cannot sell your goods at a
profit, you have no right to call your­
self a salesman.
One of the chief things you have
to accomplish in dealing with yiur
cr.- ’.omers is to overcome their fear—
fear that the purchased article may
fail to give service, fear that it may
not wear, fear that the price may
drop—confidence in you is the solu­
tion.
Going Back into history a little
ways we find that it was Michael An­
gelo who said: "Triflea make perfec­
tion, but perfection is no trifle.”
New business is created with the
birth of each day—and you are en­
titled to some of it.
Cultivate the happy faculty of see­
ing the best in a person and then
commenting upon it—not vain flat­
tery—"give credit where credit is
lue”, and be the first to do it.
Few peiple miss the man who fails
in lift—-but, there’s a multitude who
sing the praises of the individual who
gains success by honest means.
Fear makes things happen. If you
are afraid that business is going to
the dogs, it will go, so far as you are
concerned.
What you worry about seldom
turns out one-tenth as bad as you
thought it would, and, all the timt
you were worrying your mind was
not rendering the service you have a
right to demand of it.
The art of puttering consists in
doing for yourself slowly and ineffi­
ciently what you can pay someone
else to do for you quickly and well.
Thia would be a grand country if
every fellow thought as did Charles

Our ranking in the world depends
on what we do, not what we can do.
