ot the square.
Work Started on Building.
A concrete foundation for the moving picture show has been laid and
the frame work has been started on
the bowling alleys. It Is not known
exactly when the building will be finished on account of the difficulty tn
getting materials at the present time.
The workmen will commence to lay
brick on the building sometime in the
near future.
Quite an  Improvement.
It can be readily seen that South
Amherst is advancing and has been
ever since its incorporation. The
road s have been repaired and other
civic Improvements have been made.
The quarries, situated in that village
have taken the last step in erecting
this community building which will
add greatly to the advantages of the
little village.
The picture theater will have a
seating capacity of about 200. It will
he decorated and arranged in the best
possible way. Care will 'be taken to
see that proper ventilation and safety 1b given the now theater.
In the other part there will be two
bowling alleys and several pool tables.
It will serve as an entertainment room
for the sport lovers of the town.
The matter of operation of the theater and bowling alleys will be settled at a later date.
The South Amherst people take a
that is being erected. Besides serv-
great deal of pride in the new building
lng as a place of entertainment it will
add beauty to the town.

The Y. W. ('. A. Coun'.y Vocational
conference, which was held at Wellington, was a great success. Delegations
Were sent Ironi Amherst, Elyria, Avon,
Olmsted Kails, Huntington, Oberlln,
Rochester. LaGrange, and Wellington.
The meeting was opened with songs
whlt.h were followed toy pruyers and
scripture reading. The officers for
the meeting were chosen as follows:
President—Ruth   Jones   of  Oberlln.
Secretary—Lucille Barkley of Amherst.
Treasurer—Ireta Goodrich of Wellington.
Since the purpose of the conference
was to aid high school girls in choosing their vocations, several interesting speakers told about various vocations. Miss Kyle, County Y. W. C. A.
secretary, had charge of the opening
subject, "Your Orandmother's .lob and
Yours." Mrs. C. G. Rogers of Oberlln told us about the advantages of
:i college education. Mr. E. S. Kerr,
Supt. of Wellington schools, presented
' Teaching as a Profession," und spoke
of the oppoi uuultios It gave for service. "Nursing" w?is the next topic
and Miss Wood of Elyria Memorial
hospital told of the need for nurses,
und the advantages of such training.
After some dolightful solos by Wellington girls and a dialogue by the Oberlln club, the meeting wus adjourned
for lunch.
The delicious lunch served by the
Y. W. C. A. committee of Wellington
was enjoyed by all. After games and
singing for a while, the afternoon program was 'begun by Miss Porter, a
Senior In Oberlln college, who spoke
about "Physlcul Education and Playground Work" and the need for In-
ntructors. The Glee club of the Oberlln Kindergarten Training school gave
ns a splendid program which we all
enjoyed. Then Miss Paddock, the
Lorain county public health nurse,
spoke of "Social Service us a Vocation." "Stenography and Its Possibilities" was ably presented by Miss
Mueller of Elyria who is now the assistant to the pastor of the First Congregational ohurch there. Miss Chase
of the Oberlln Library gave us a very
Interesting talk about "Bringing Books
and People Together." Each speaker presented his or her subject in
such u way that is seemed as if we
must take up the vocation which was
presented. After various stunts and
cheers the conference closed with the
singing of "America."
Every girl left the conference with
a resolve to come and bring another
girl to the conference next year, and
a good many had practically chosen
their life work. We are very grateful to the people who helped produce
such a result.

The sugar outlook in Amherst, in
fact In every part of the country is
gloomy. In less than one year sugar
has jumped from 11 to 33 cents a
pound and a possibility of Its rising
to a still higher mark.
Most of the local grocers are selling the remainder of their reserve
stock at prices ranging around 22
cents. They say when the new stock
arrives that the price will be 33 cents.
There are some stores that are compelled to buy new stock who are at
present charging 33 cents. Those that
are still selling at 22 cents a pound
are issuing the sugar in one pound
lots.
Qroosrs Say Be Prepared for More.
The grocers of the town say they
would not he surprised to see sugar
at a higher price than 33 cents a pound.
Everyone is urged to conserve sugar as much as possible, using one
pound a week for each family if It
can be done.
The cause tor the rise in price Is
not known or at least' hasn't been
made public. It Is expected thut the
government will soon probe the situation and try and get immediate aid.
There are many Industries in town
that will be affected by the new rise
of price. The confectionary stores
will probably be compelled to raise
prices on their goods while everything
in general, using sugar for sweetening will most likely raise In price soon.
Everyone is hoping for some relief
soon but the future looks dark. The
Justice department has been at work
for many months trying to find out
where the profiteering is done, but
as yet have not found the real cause
of it.

The Senior girls and the the Junior boys' teams were victorious in the
class games played at the gymnasium
last Thursday and Friday. The preliminary or semi-flnals were played
Thursday afternoon Immediately after
school. In these contests the following teams played to these results.
Boys' Tesms.
Juniors 7—Seniors 4.
Sophomores  26—Freshmen   ?
Girls' Teams.
Seniors 8—Juniors 0.
Sophomores   14—Freshmen   1.
The game between the Junior and
Senior boys was perhaps the closest
of the afternoon. The Juniors led in
the first half 2 to 0 and kept making
a bigger lead In the next period. On
the Junior squad Bud Hearn and Henry Edwards did the starring. The
Seniors did not play their usual game
and this was the main reason for their
defeat.
The Sophomore-Freshman game was
a onesided affair. The Sophomores
.had no trouble In winning. However,
the Freshmen put up a plucky light
und were compelled to place green
men on their lineup because no others
were available.
The Senior girls didn't give the Juniors a chance. They held them to a
zero score while in the meantime they
scored 8 points. The Seniors have a
wonderful girls' team and It displayed
Its ability In the class games.
The Sophomores had little difficulty
In defeating the Freshman girls' team
but the Freshmen players gave their
best to the team.
Finals Interesting.
The finals were played off at the
high school party held ut the gymnasium Friday evening. The first
gome of the evening was the Sophomore-Junior game, tho latter being
victors 13 to 0.
It was perhaps the fastest gume
any of the players of either team hud
ever Indulged In. Mr. Powers who
referred the game found difficulty In
calling fouls because of the swiftness
of the game. Both teams fought for
every point. At the first of the gume
both teams looked evenly mutched
but as the game wore on it could be
seen that the Juniors had a superior
squad. The Sophomores lucked teamwork and ability to shoot. A team,
such as the Sophomores had with a
little practice would make a first class
five. At the end of the first half the
Juniors led by a small murgln but the
Sophomores were not In the least discouraged. They went into the gume
with more pep than ever but the wonderful shooting eye of Bud Hearn
proved too much tor them.
The Senior girls take the cako for
"Whitewashing teams." Both of their
opponents went from, the floor in tho
class games without scoring a point.
They won from the Sopihs 7 io 0.
The game between the Senior girls
and the Sophomores was slow. In
tbe first halt the score stood 0 to 0.
Lucille Plppert ot the Sophs was hurl
and it was necessary to remove her
from the game. The Sophs hud no
substitutes so Edna Humann, a Junior, was borrowed for the rest of the
game. At this point the Seniors began to score. They were shooting at
their lucky basket und managed to get
soven scores before the end of ihe
game.
More class spirit, was shown at ho
class games than perhaps ever before by the high school students. Each
class hud u large represontutlon present and they all rooted for their team.
After the class games the spectators enjoyed themselves with relay
races, Indoor baseball games, music,
marching and many other diversions.
About 10:30 a lunch wus served by
the Student Senate and the lights
were turned out at 11 p. in.

of  Ihe   surrounding  territory.
The boys' team hail a hard time

It was quite a Job. All the candidates

This  Is  the  second   successive  sou-
SOU that the Farmers of Lorain county
have been disappointed in getting out!
their oats  crop  at   the   proper  time.
Those   who   were   able   to   get   their,

ther   hus   ulso    iumaged    the   wheat ,
crop.
It Is difficult to estimate the damage
to the farmers ihal the wet weather
has caused. The outs crop has suffered most. U lay from seeding outs
at the proper time means reduced
yields. It h; usually considered that
each day'., delay from the proper time
of leading causes u decrease In yield
of fiom one to three bushels per acre.
The rainy weather has already caused
a delay ot twenty-five days from the
proper seeding time, which will mean
that scarcely more than u half crop
ot outs may be expected this seuson.
Substitute Soy Beans.
On aooounl of the risk of seeding
oats ui his lute date It Is believed
to be more deslruble to sow soy beans
Instoud. Soy beans make a very good
substitute for oats in furnishing protein for dairy cut Ions. (Of course we
could haidly offer them as a substitute for rolled oats in breakfast food.)
Dairymen who have fed soy beans
either us hay or mixed with corn In
silage speak highly in their fuvor.
Cows like them very much fed either
way. Severul dairymen of the county
ure making u pructlce of growing them
tor feed.
For information regarding seeding
und curing for soy beans call on the

Hoover -  1
Voters seined to tuke little interest
ill the election, which sometimes fore-
custs the next president. In Ohio
there hus been much rlvulry between
General Wood uud Senator Hauling.
The former violated the unwritten luw
of this country by Invuding u stale
with a favorite son but he futlod to
win but .1 few delegutes. Harding
won all delegutes except 10.
Lorain county went for Wood by a
fair mujorliy but the votes of Summit
couuly over balanced the majority in
this county und will probably give the
delegates from this district to Hard-
lug.
