FIELD DAY MEET
Held i'm Ionia Saturday-Large Crowd
Present-Second Annual

A large number of Bedding boys and
girls, parents and teachers went TO
Ionia Saturday TO attend the inter
scholastic track meet of the schools OF
Ionia county. Bedding contestants ac-
quilted themselves in acreditable man
ner and carried off some of the honors.
Early in the day all roads leading in
to lonia began to fill with boys and
girls, old and young, on their way to
attend the largest field day yet held in
Ionia. In the events of the day, the
Sth grade graduates carried off the fore
noon honors at the armory. This build
ing was taxed to its limit
In spirited and well attended con-
test the fewamo girls won the doubles
and singles in tennis, thus enabling
them to carry home the two beautiful
tennis trophy cups.
AT 1890 o'clock sharp the real con-
tests of the day began, Bedding winning
medals and ribbons in the following
events:
Silver first medal
One-half mile run-Robert Reeves
One mile run-Robert Reeves
440 yard dash-Wallace Updike
Running high jump-Ben Peterson
Bronze second medal
100 yard dash-Fred Holmes
220 yard dash-Fred Holmes
Shot put-Ernest Menkee
Pole vault-Eddie Malone
Hop, skip and jump-Eddie Malone
Ribbons-third prize
Running high jump-Eddie Malone
Second place)-Relay race-Abe AL
derman, Milton Jackson, Wallace Up
dixie and Fred Holmes.
Bedding had special train to carry
its rooters and aspirants There were
about l25 who went from here and about
so from Orleans. Wehave every reason
to feel proud of our home athletes and
with good thorough drill before another
year and with competent referee who
understands his business better than
this years one did, we may hope TO do
even better.

Payment of Tuition of Eighth Grade
Pupils to High School

There seems TO be more or less mis-
understanding in regard to the law
which provides for the payment of tut
ton OF rural pupils TO one of the three
nearest High Schools. Pupils who re-
ceive the benefits of this law must be
able TO do the work in the High School
where they attend. The law states that
pupils who have completed the studies
of the first eight grades shall have their
tuition paid, but shows plainly that
they must be competent TO do at least
ninth grade work. All the High Schools
of the county admit those who hold
the eighth grade diploma issued from
the Commissioners Office to their ninth
grade, and we have held that the county
eighth grade examination is by far the
best test to determine whether or not
pupil from the rural schools can do
the ninth grade work. Nearly all the
pupils who go to the graded schools
with the eighth grade diploma do their
work satisfactorily and very few who
otherwise attempt or are allowed TO try
the same are able to do the work. There
is no excuse for "a pupil who fails to
take the examination. 1t is held in six
of the most convenient places through
out the county. Those who attempt to
offer some excuse for not taking this
examination are usually the ones who
could not pass it and are consequently
unfit for the High School.
Nearly all the High Schools of the
county have passed resolution TO the
effect that rural pupils who expect to
, attend their High School must possess
an eighth grade diploma signed by the
Supt of Public instruction and the
County Commissioner or its equivalent.
This is as it should be, and we sincerely
hope that no High School IN this county
will be so eager TO get this free tuition
money that they will let down the bars
for admission TO their High School and
accept pupils who are incompetent TO
do High School work and thereby do
an injustice TO every member of class
where an incompetent pupil gal m s
admission, lower the standard of their
schools and which in the long run will
prove very much of detriment. But
pupils who hold these eighth grade
diplomas are going TO be wise enough
to pick from the three schools of their
choice one whose educational standards
are high and eventually the best schools
will have the largest number of non
resident pupils.
The law provides that the tuition
shall be paid for the entire High School
course, and it should be paid by the
treasurer of the rural district direct TO
the treasurer of the High School district.
The office will furnish the necessary
blank TO bring this about and they will
be sent TO the rural districts before the
fourth Monday i'm June.
The parents or guardian of pupils
who expect To receive the benefits OF
this law should file with their board
the application for said tuition and q
statement signed by the teacher that
the eighth grades have been completed,
before the fourth Monday in June.
The application should be signed by
both parents.

Commissioner of Schools.

Fire Fighting on the Plains.

The awful forest fires which have
been ravaging the Idaho country
have called to mind the prairie fires
which once used to sweep over the
plains of the middle west. H. R.
Berry was formerly on the plains
of the Dakotas The method used
by the cowboys in putting out these
prairie fires was to take either a
hide or a whole beef and haul it
over the fire. If the fire was burn
ing in short grass fresh hide would
be used but if the fire were a big
one, sweeping through tall grass, a
whole beef would be used. A num-
Der of horses would be hitched to
either end of the carcus, part of
them in front Of the fire and part
behind. The beef would be hauled
over the fire with the horses on the
run. This would smother the flames
with the exception of a few sparks
which would be put out by another
crew following close behind.

INTERESTED N THE
LIBRARY
Women's Club Will Hold
Meeting Friday to Take
Formal Action.

The Women's Club of this city is
very much interested in the location
of the Carnegie library in the TRAN
gular portion of the city park. A
meeting will be held next Friday af-
ternoon at the residence of Mrs. ].
S. Mooney for the purpose Of laying
plans for a campaign to locate the
library in this place. 1t is the plan
of the club to get up a petition di-
rected to the business men of this
city to request the city council to
authorize the acceptance of the Car
negie offer and to locate the library
in the park. Petitions will be circu-
lated among the business men, resi-
dents of the city and the suburban
recidents. AS one lady interested in
the matter said this morning:
I'VE believe that it is impractical
BILE to try to secure funds for pur-
chasing new site. We do not be-
lieve that the location of a library
would cut enough space from the
city park to interfere with it at all
This is the only logical location and
| believe. with the petitions of the
business men, citizens and suburban
residents and the favorable action
of the city council all sent to Judge
Burke that there will be no difficult
ty in getting a quit claim from him
for the site. The women have wait
ed, hoping that the council would
take some action On the matter but
inasmuch as this has not been done
We will direct our energies towards
the location of the library in this
site

|b|G LAUGH At THE|
| THEATRE
Screaming Farce at the We
natchee is a Side
splitter.

THE Bold Mr.. Timid" is the title
of farce vaudeville sketch which
is the leader at the Wenatchee this
week. The piece was written by
Chas. Dewitt and is played by him
and Hazel Ashmore For IL years
they have been great favorites on
the leading circuits of the east
There is not one of the large vaude-
vile houses of the metropolitan cit
les of the country in which this turn
has not been presented and in some
places it has been repeated two and
three times.
1t is an impossible situation as
portrayed, but none the less laugh
able, especially in a dry town like
Wenatchee. Not the least amusing
feature of the sketch is the effect
ii has upon some of the erstwhile
sports in the audience who used to
enjoy the flowing bowl but have now
forgotten the meaning of the words
wine, women and song.
On Thursday, the team will put
on a different sketch, "A Pair OF
White Ducks 1t is the work OF
Miss Ashmore and has made an
equal hit with Mr.. DeWitt's farce.
In one of the moving pictures
given last night, Lewis Dilemma,
a face familiar to patrons of the We
natchee theatre appears. Chas. Ben
nington, the one-legged high kicker
and dancer, comes walking into the
pawnshop of the Israclite. Tonight
is the last run of this film.
ON the Border States" is the
feature film and a very good one
1t tells a story of love and herOism
during the civil war.

II. A. A. GIVES ITS SIDE.

Editor TIMES, Dear Sir: The writeup
of Berezniak's attempt at a wrestling
carnival. in your last nights edition
of THE TIMES, is SO different from what
the Hammond Athletic association
thinks is true. that we ask for equal
prominence to our answer
"A some time ago" event was spoken
of as putting US under some special
obligations to help Berezniak boost this
last venture of his. The fact about
that event is this: Berezniak for his
friends got 65 per cent unincumbered OF
the proceeds. We got IS per cent to
pay the local expenses of the event. It
fell short by over $100. This is the
full measure Of our obligation. For
this We were expected to make this
last bout a booming success with the
help of a spare dozen and half fur
nished out of our friend Berezniak' s
resources.
We not only did not help, but we are
