The school children are taking
a big init rest in the corn con-
tclt this year. The county SUI
permit nde Mt bought tx bushels
Of seed corn and each child who
wanted to enter the contest was
givtn about a tin cup full Of
corn, At that rate. 6 bushels
went quite a ways. Deputy
County Superintendent Boots has
been giving the children Of Wash
burn Instructions about planting
and cultivating corn and their

The Washbu1n base bali play
ers are rather disappointed as TO
the small crowds that are turning
out to see the game. This year
Washburn has without doubt one
Of the best teams in the state,
and every Washburn booster
should take in the games, es-

to pay expenses by gate receipts,

live town should have a live
base ball team and Washburm has
one, it helps to PUT the town on
the map. On the 18th WashIburn
plays the Washburn Singers
and on the 21st Baldwin,. Both
Of these games will be played at
Washburn.
