Baseball Team Probable.

There is some talk at the High
School of organizing a baseball
team for this coming season. There
is no end to the amount of good
material on hand, and no doubt a
winning team could be put in the
field. Such a step should be en-
couraged, as baseball team always
adds to the interest of the school
work and better results follow. II
such a club is started we will NO
doubt have the best battery in the
northern part of the state, with
Lycan in the box and Knox behind
the bat. The ability of either
of these two stars can not be ques
toned.

Football Team Loses Two Stars.

The High School football team
will lose two of its star players, in
the graduation of Kruse and Hum.
drum. Kruse was captain and right
end last season and his leadership
and rare ability as player led his
team to many a hard-fought victory
while Humdrum at right end always
played heady and fast game. In
addition to being splendid athletes,
Kruse and Humdrum are both
very popular students, and their
departure from the school and entry
into the serious fight of everyday
life will be sincerely regretted.

No one connected with the presiden.

there came forth within the Taft
household an edict entitled, Thou

that he do so; for how could he find
anyone else who wanted to go out as

Charlie was tempted; and he fell.

OIL TRUST TO MAKE BUTTER
Rockefeller Concern Starts Building
and Pessimists See Doom Of
the Dairy Interests.

New York, Aug. 14,-Despite its de-
NAL that it intended to enter the field
of dairying, the Standard oil Com
pany has broken ground at Bayonne,
n. j., for the erection of a 100000
building in which, when completed,
will be installed $300,0 900 worth of ma
chinery to turn petroleum into butter
1t is too early to predict that the
COW is on her way to join the dodo,
as the process to be employed by the
Standard Oil Company is a secret.
Pessimists who learned of the new
enterprise which the Standard is said
TO have embarked upon were prone to
believe that the dairying interests will
soon have TO face starvation, but they
forget that the COW may still be uti-
lized for beef and, possibly, milk and
cream, for there is no intimation that
the present step Of the Standard

necessities,
