The Friday meeting is sched uled for 8 p.m. • • LOGGERS PLAY HERE FRIDAY I The first appearance of Coach J. Hergert’s diamond men will be made here this season when they take the field against the Rainier Columbians. The Loggers so far this season have lost two and captured one. Two losses were chalked up in the Scappoose and St. Helens meetings and the win came over Clatskanie. The game is scheduled for 2:30 on the Washington grade school field. LESS SHELLS IS PROSPECT Demos Lead in Registration Equalization Board To Meet A decrease in the amount of ammunition is expected according to word received here within the last few days and the shortage will probably continue for some time. Anticipation of the short age arises from the smaller amount of lead available for the making of shells and the likeli hood that this particular short age may be of lengthy duration. The information received is that the government is consider ing a reduction of skeet and trap loads’ during this critical period and it is quite possible that farm ers and ranchers will again be placed on an ammunition rating basis similar to that used during the war. Local merchants will continue to allot what ammunition is re ceived here to their customers in order to spread it as far as pos sible. Registration totals for the 31 Columbia county precincts give- the Democrats the lead again this year with 5157 as compared with 4213 Republicans, according to figures released by County Clerk J. W. Hunt. The county lead also holds true for the four Vernonia precincts where the Democrats total 792 and the Republicans 478. The total registration in the county is 9503. Electors listed their party pref erence principally in the two above, but three others are listed in addition to miscellaneous regis trations. The Independents num ber 69 and the Socialists, 11. The Phohibitionist party drew five signers and 48 are listed by the clerk as miscellaneous. Columbia county residents who have an objection to the assess ment levied against their property will have the opportunity to pre sent their grievances before the board of qualization at St. Helens on May 13, Monday. That is the date set for the board to begin its sessions to consider such mat ters. The board will continue to meet, if necessary, until all cases have been considered and equalizations are made. • TIME SAVER Electrical equipment saves farmer 245 hours of work in eight months, according to tests.
