Boys and Girls Both Win

! In a game characterized by fast,
snappy work on the part of the home
bunch and lack of interest on the part
of the visitors, the Alma highs won
| from the basket ball team representing
/ the Owosso high school TO the tune of
/ - to S. In the first half neither team
! showed up in creditable manner. In
/ this period the home team tossed baskets
for ten points while the Owosso bunch
could reap only half that many In the
last period, however, the Alma quintet
woke up with the result that they left
their opponents badly in the rear, which
disheartened them to such an extent
that the game became somewhat of a
farce. The final score shows how badly
the visitors were oVcIassed in the last
session,
Where they played:
Owosso: Forward, Norton and Bent
ley.
Guards Ashton, Dewey, Barber
Center, Finch.
Alma: Forwards, Wood, kress, Fish

Guards, Montigel. Austin, Spirney
Center, Hood, Kress.
Immediately after the boys game, the
girls representing the Lake View and
Alma high schools played game on
the same court, Alma winning by a
score of n to H. The girls were at
first afraid 70 go into the game strenu-
ously, and the half ended tie The
second half was more lively and inter-
esting. Both teams put mp good game
but Alma's team work helped her forge
to the front to victory.

Lake View: Forwards McCole, Call.

A Tough Job,

than useless contain valuable SUBJ

ficient quantity to pay for raising
them.
"Our most advanced investigators
are coming rapidly to the conclusion
that there is nothing useless in ma

Snperstitious STAGE Folk.

Theatrical people are proverbially

actress who never goes on the stage
without first crossing herself to in

the stage if they should lose the
horseshoe which is nailed to the lid
of one of their trunks, and could not
get another.
Mrs. Leslie Carter always raps
three times on the wings before walk
ing on the stage, and she thinks this
precaution will Danish all evil in
fluences. When Mary Anderson was
on the stage she never dared to peep
through the curtain while the house
was filling. Many theatrical people

Big Australian Drouth.

Australia's last drouth lasted seven
years, and there never has been one
like it since Australia was settled. At
the beginning of this dry spell there
were 20, 100000 sheep in Queensland,
and when the rains came only 7,000,-
900 were left, the dry spell ending in
1908; to-day there are as many sheep
as ever. In these seven seasons the
flocks have trebled themselves. For
tunes have been made since those
years of disaster at a single run.
and an irrigating lesson has been
learned that will minimize their ter
ror if they should come again. In
the interior of Queensland the yearly
average of rainfall sinks to below ten
inches; rivers are scarce, creeks are
few ard in the summer dry up to a

Tibet embraced Buddhism about the

100 volumes under the name of
"Kangyna. And by way of exegesis
and commentary they added 225 vol
umes. These books were printed at

JUST WHAT REAL
SCRAPPLE is.
Writer Gives a Few Hints About
the Preparation and Eating Of
This Dish.

This Dish.
Scrapple comes in with India sum-
mer and last years overcoat. says the
Baltimore Sun. Next to buckwheat
cakes, sauerkraut and hog-and-hom-
iny, 1t is the most delicious break
fast dish known to the human race,
but 1t behooves the consumer to have
a care in buying it.
Bogus scrapple, unluckily, is all too
plentiful. The basis of the real arti-
Gle is the fragrant liquor In which
country sausage has been boiled, and
its body or substance is furnished by
home grown corn meal, ground in
water mill. Such scrapple is more
palatable than venison and more nu-
tritious than pemmican. 1t is partic-
ularly rich in proteids, carbohydrates,
alkaloids, manganese, lime, naphtha
and other bone and sinew making
contents.
In the old days all of Baltimore's
scrapple came from Pennsylvania. 1t
came across the Mason and Dixon line
at midnight, and was brought down to
the city in Conestoga wagons. When
the seasons first wagon came rum
bling down the York road, usually
about October 20, there was a rush
for it, and sometimes its cargo
brought fancy prices-ten cents
slice, or even more. But to-day Balti-
more is no longer dependent upon
Pennsylvania for its scrapple supply.
That made in Maryland is equal to
the best. No doubt the future will
see Maryland scrapple supreme in all
the markets Of the world, for the
Eastern shoremen, as we'll as the
Western Marylanders, seem to have
an uncanny talent for the manufac-
ture and improvement of delicatessen.
The case of sauerkraut comes to mind
at once. Twenty years ago that
queenly victual had to be imported
from Bavaria, but to-day the sauer-
kraut of Salisbury and Crisfield has
left that of Munich and Weimar far
behind it.
