ing, Baltimore, will be in his Office this
week and will have number of German

lieves that he will be able to furnish our
farmers with laborers at $8 to $Io per
month in addition to their board and
keep. Mr. Barroll makes no charge for

and fully equipped with all up to
date conveniences and oficered by
the best and most efficient corps of
teachers that a High School in
true sense demands, that children
with ability and determination to
take a High School course will find
a way to reach such a school, which
way may be all or in part at the
expense of the county.
At the request of J. H. Reynolds
the Kewanee & Perry water system

The other disputed contest has t.

itself from defeat. AS a result, he

the umpire should have called the
Hopkinsyille batters cut when they
took more than minute to get to
the plate instead Of forcing them
to continue the game.
Everybody who saw the game
knows that many Of Kalkhoff's hat
ters were considerably more than q
minute towards the last in getting
to the plate. However, Rassett gives
the game to Hopkinsyille. If Raa.
setts umpire failed in his duty i
is hard to see the justice in making
Cairo suffer. The only fais thing
to do under the circumstances
would have been TO throw the game
out entirely, as at greensboro, max
ing it the same as If there had been
no game played.
1t may be technically legal for
Bassett to hide behind his own UNI
pres poor umpiring but that
doesn't necessarily make it fair.
Anybody who saw the game knows
that Kalkhoff and his crew were
guilty of the grossest and most
open attempt to delay the contest
and stavc off the defeat they could
avert in no other way Common
fairness would seem to compel
league president in such a ease to
force the game to be played over in
stead of taking advantage Of his
own umpires poor work to give II
