You will all remember that the Band was started late in the fall of 192 1 under the direction of Miss Scott, and did very well for a first year. The Band lost several good members thru graduation last year, so that there is much new material in the Band this year. However, only one member will be lost this year, so we can look for ward to a fine band next year.

Editorial—Lee Chapman PEP RALLIES It is true that there is no effect without a cause, but to find the cause in most cases constitutes a real prob lem. In all kinds of athletics there is always someone who breaks train ing rules and then it can not be the fault of the student body that a play er or team is weak, hand much of the failure we have in games is that the student body does not give the right support. The team that knows that the stu dent body is behind it will put up the best fight for it wants to prove that it is worthy of the trust that is placed in it. A successful team is not the team that makes the most baskets during the game. The team backed by its student body displaying always the very finest type of sportsmanship is the good team. It is hard to be a good loser, but it is the thing which really shows whether or not there is real sportsmanship. The Plentywood schools have shown good support during the past year ev en though our team lost most of the games. It is good sportsmanship that we want more than anything else, and if we turn out to give the team a lusty backing we know that they will do their best. On the other COUNTY SCHOOLS The board of county examiners composed of Principals W. H. May, G. F.

It is his contention that if started right the youthful musician will develop faster and love the art to a greater extent. There has been more interest in music since the advent of the Mitchell family in Blegrade than was ever known before. While Mr, Mitchell knows music and how to teach it, getting the best from his organization, and enjoying every minute of it, he must be seen and heard playing in his dance band for one to appreciate his talent and ability.

CONGRESS ROWS OVER TARIFF REVISION Washington, April 27.—Muffled thunder emanated from the house ways and means committee room to day, where the tariff bill is being made ready for consideration in the house early next week. Both houses were in recess until Monday. Ihe senate is ready for an other week of oratory over the deben ture plan of farm relief but in the end probably will reject this and pass a bill much like the one the house adopted. The house committee is finishing up six weeks of work in executive session, and while its members have denounced every "leak" of the pro ceedings, authentic information has been obtained indicating a strenuous contest is developing over such vital rates as sugar, wool and hides. Wool 31 to 34. It was reported on good authority the sugar tariff which reaches every breakfast table may be boosted from $2.20 a hundred pounds to $3. The report has been sufficiently authenti cated to cause the Cuban Ambassador Ferrara to deliver a strong speech in Philadelphia today, denouncing the proposed increase. Wool may be boosted from 31 cents cents; cotton and wool textiles con to 34 cents; com from 15 cents to 25 cents; cotton and wool textiles siderably above their present hides, bricks, cement and con rates; , ,, . M manganese materially increased and lumber unchanged on the free list. These previsions can and may be altered before the bill is presented to the house probably next Tuesday. Democrats Split All reports, indicate clearly a heavy tariff battle is in prospect, de mocrats are split ove** the issues and have announced their anger over dot to being admitted to secre ^ meetings where someiputai ofthe bill are being written. The U usua l sec recy has resulted in. c ^a g s that nu merous deals are ^ e "? g ™ ade between sectional representatives, a practise known as "log rolling" whereby rep resentatives of various, sections form an alliance to put over mutually bene ficial rates. . Senate republicans already have announced their hearings are to be secret although they do not expect to begin work on the bill for a month, They say they want to frame a bill which can be taken to the floor of both houses and put through virtual ly without amendment, in order that there will be no log-rolling on the floor. j -- it Poll Shows Senate 53 to no I 38 Against debenture op on. Washington, April 29.—-The senate j J iines up 53 to 38 against the deben ture farm relief plan to which Presi dent Hoover is so strongly opposed, ; it was revealed in a private pool to day as hot debate over the issue got under way in the upper house of congress. The poll shows 4o republicans and 8 democrats against «.he tariff boun ty provision; 29 democrats and 9 re publicans in favor of it, three sena tors doubtful and one absent. It. shows conclusively that while the dispute over Mr. Hoover's contest with the senate is close, it is not close enough to be very doubtful. Known to President The figures are known to the pres- j ident and the democrats who both are , exerting extraordinary efforts to swing wavering spective sides before the vote is tak en probably next Thursday. Mr. Hoover has called many of the form erly doubtful ones to the White House. A dinner was held last week for two senators who are in the doubts ful list on the measure but neither senator, it is learned has since given evidence of a desire to vote with the administration. Seldom since the League of Nations fight in the senate has such pressure been exerted, either on the side of the White House or on the part of the opposition in the senate. Sena tors have concluded Mr. Hoover is vitally interested in the defeat of the debenture plan, and democrats on the .other hand are determined to make a party record in favor of it. The poll shows Sen, Nye of North Dakota and Capper of Kansas against debenture, and Shipstead of Minneso ta absent. is - ' AGRICULTURAL CABI NET BROUGHT UNDER • FIRE OF SENATE Washington, April 30.—President Hoover's new secretary of agriculture, Arthur M. Hyde, was brought under a brief fire in the senate today as both houses of congress entered their third week on the farm relief pro gram. The senate resumed debate on the administration-debenture bill while the house decided that because the tariff bill will not be ready until next it would spend Wednesday, of ; Thursday and Friday on four minor the farm relief the! Hyde's part in the administration program was brought up in the sen ate debate when it developed the sen-j De a measures. I HP:? The 1. G. A.

Publication of the testimony was demanded by Senator Joseph T. Rob mson, democratic floor leader, who said their opinions "would probably have more weight than the head of the department (Mr. Hyde) whp has had very little experience in agricul ture, but wno has been an automobile dealer." The upshot of the debate was that Chairman McNary announced he would call his agriculture committee together tomorrow to decide whether the testimony should be printed. The j matter is important not only because it may show a conflict between agri cultural experts on one hand and I H y de and Hoover on the other, but also because the champ ions of the debenture plan intend bo use this evi j J ence in their fight against the ad ministration in the senate. _ ; qpiu *tt c P F F H Q »MLlVAiE.
