The High School basket ball
team played it's first out of town
game with Flat River High School
Saturday. Although there were
some difficulties in getting to Flat
River and the score stood II to 6
against us, the team is delighted
with the trip and especially with
the manner in which the Flat
River boys and girls entertained
them. After the game they were
served a lunch at the Domestic
Science Building by the basket
ball girls. After the lunch, con-
sisting of sandwiches, cocoa and
cake, all got acquainted and
played games. The boys say
they want to go to Flat River

Ironton High School Classified.

The following is the official re-
port of the State Department of
Education on inspection of our
High School.
JEFFERSON CITY, Nov. 1, 1911.
Mr.. w. H. DELANo, Sec'y Board
of Education, Ironton. Mo.
Dear SRI have examined the
High School Inspectors report of
his visit to your school and under
the statute authorizing me to
classify High Schools | am listing
yours as second class, with APP
proved work as follows:
English, 8 units; Algebra, 2
units; Plane Geom., 1 unit; His
tory, 8 units; Latin, 2 units; Ped
agogy, 1 unit; Physical Geogra-
ply, 1 unit; total, IS units.
My Inspector noted that you
need some history and science
reference works as we'll as some
good maps for history, that you
needed some apparatus for Phys
ical Geography. However, the
superintendent informed the in
spector that all of these equip
ments had been ordered, some of
which had arrived and some of
which was on the way.
I want to commend you for this
excellent showing as made by
your school in advancing from an
unclassiied to an approved High
School of the second class. Your
superintendent is manifesting SUI
perior ability in his organization
and certainly needs commencing
for that.
/ hope that in the course of an
other year or two you may be able
to increase your tax levy, which
is rather low for the average High
School, and thus be enabled to
add another teacher and raise the
standard of your school to that OF
a first class High School.
Yours Truly,
WIN. p. EVANS.
1t is only a step from the second
class to the first class High School;
for US only two more units. Fiji
teen units are required for first
class schools. Let US all pull to-
gether and have a first class High
School for our children next year.
Very truly,
B. w. LOOMS, Prin.

SPORTING DEPARTMENT.
WILL WAGER $4,000 ON
CONTEST WITH WOLGAST
FREDDIE WELSH LIKELY TO BE
HIS NEXT OPPONENT.
Mcfarland and Knockout Brown Want
to Meet the Champion.

San Francisco, Cal, July Sit H. al
most certain now that Packey McFar-
land, who was practically matched by
Jimmy Conroth TO fight Adj Wolgast in
Frisco in September, has lost the
chance to exchange wallops with the
champion, for managers of Wolgast
and Freddie Welsh got together last
night and talked terms that will like
IS result in a match, should bOtn sides
go through with what they have prom
ised. Welsh's offer to bet $4,000 on
the side that ne can beat the cham
pion is what will rob Mcfarland Of
the date, should Welsh get it. But it
is by no means settled yet that the
match is a go.
The terms of the agreement stip-
ulatc that the fight shall be for twenty
rounds or more and take place some
time i'm September, preferably on La
bor Day: that each fighter shall post
10000 as "A side bet, and that the
lightweight limit of 1873 pounds be
made at the ringside Wolgast has
already posted $4,000 with Stakehold-
er James r. Clark. Welsh posted a
81 900 forfeit and under the terms of
agreement must post another $4,000
not later than August ..
1t is expected that both James Cof-
froth ana Milton l. Clark will bid for
the fight Clark has the September
date for san Francisco, which means
that Coffroth will have TO select lbttle|
ground outside the city if he secures
the bout. He probably would fake Ill
to the Point Richmond arena, where
Wolgast won the title from BattlingI
Nelson.
Danny Morgan, manager of Knock
out Brown, Is likewise trying to ar
range for meeting with the cham
pion. but IL is likely he will have TO
wait until those who have prior claims
have been disposed Of.

The Secret of the Pigeon.

1t is an old and much disputed ques-
ton by what means carrier pigeons
find their way home over distances
sometimes of hundreds of miles. Some
extraordinary suggestions have been
offered to explain this strange faculty.
such as that the BIRDS are guided by
magnetic currents. that they possess a
special sense of direction enabling
them to reverse course once pursued,
and that they have Il particular ar
rnngement OF the internal organs Of
the ear which affords means of guild
ance. The problem has been attacked
again recently by T.. Hachet-Souplet.
director of the Institute OF Animal
Psychology in Paris. who concludes
that the whole secret is contained In
the ability OF the pigeons 20 lay their
course by recognized points in the
beneath them. He believes
that the longest authenticated flights
are explicable In this way.-Youths

FREE DELIVERY
SEEMS CERTAIN

WILL RETURN IN ABOUT
THREE WEEKS TO TAKE

1t now seems almost certain that free

5nd possibly will be extended to Flori-
da location, the residents of which are
served through the Laurium office. In

nected with the establishment of the
postal savings bank at the Laurium
pOstofiice and he stated that he would
return in about three ur four weeks
20 go into the free delivery matter
more deeply The press of business
resulting from the establishment of so
many postal savings departments i'm
ms district has prevented Mr.. Otto's
taxing the matter mp before This time.
IS Postmaster Nairo was asked IA
suggest the most practical carriers
routes, however. there. seems little
doubt that free delivery will be grant
ed. by the time of the inspectors next
visit all of the street signs and house
numbers will be in place and IL is UNI
likely that any objection will be made
TO the sidewalks, as they are as good
il not better than those in large
number of towns that enjoy free de-
livery.
II is probable that when the system
is established. there will be four car
rers and all clerk and carrier appoint
ments will be made on civil service
basis.
Florida location is also in line for
free delivery. Although the location
has no cement sidewalks. the streets
are in good condition, and the resi-
dents have taken steps To install an

A QUICK TWIST.
Why the WatehfuI Owl Didn't Wiring
Its Own Head Off.

Boys who have tried to put salt on
birds tair' generally come to the
conclusion that birds can ''see behind
Them" and some may half believe that
the heads OF these little creatures are
hung on pivots. How easily one could
conceive such a notion Is illustrated
by the experience of Maryland man
who had read story about an owl
wringing its own neck by looking at a
man who was walking around him
The Marylander decided TO experiment
along these lines and so procured a
fine specimen of an owl and placed
him on post.
1t was not difficult for the expert
menter to secure the OWLS attention.
for the bird never diverted his gaze
from the man while the latter was
present. The man began walking rap.
idly around the post few feet from
it, Keeping his eyes fixed upon the bird
all the while
The owls body remained motionless.
but his head turned exactly with the
mans movements. When the man
was halfway round the owls head was
directly behind Three-quarters of
circle were completed. and still the
same twist of the neck and the same
stare followed the man.
One circle and no change On the
man went. twice around. and still that
watchful stare and steady turn of the
head. Three times The man went.
around. and he began 60 wonder why
the owls head did not drop off. when
all at once the man discovered what he
had failed TO notice before.
When the man reached a distance
halfway around from the front. which
was as far MS the owl could turn his
head to follow the experimenter's
movements with comfort. the owl
whisked II back through the whole cir
Gle so instantaneously and brought 1t
facing the man again with such pre-
cision that the latter failed 10 detect
the movement. although be was look
ing intently all the while at the bird.
The Marylander repeated the expert
ment many times afterward on the
same bird. and he had always to
watch carefully to detect the move ,
ment of the rcadjustment of the owls
gaze.-Philadelphla Record.
