instructor. He also gave out PAM
phlets, circulars, ETC., that are pre-
pared by the state agricultural COL
lege to aid teachers in this work, and
advised them as to how to perfect
themselves in these subjects as soon
as possible. Special attention was
also given to the matter of corn
study for each month in the year.
Miss Richards in her classes in do
nestle science demonstrated the
various ways of cooking eggs, and
also the action Of yeast upon various
food products. In the afternoon a
complete outline of the kinds of
foods, their value, and principles Of
cookery, was discussed, and practic-
al demonstration of cooking of
meats given. She also gave hints as
to how the teachers can fulfil the re-
quirements in regard to home econ
omics.
In the manual training depart
ment work progresses rapidly. Many
nail boxes are in process of construc-
ton, and combination work is pro-
ducing a school work bench and tool
chest, which will do credit to those
who have a part in it's construction.
Here also pamphlets, which will aid
the teachers in doing practical work
in this line, are distributed.

Rustenhaven followed with a single,
Crawford was sent across the home
plate. Collins also hit in this in
ming, but Palmer frightened up and
struck Beltz and Sutton out.
Both teams took one score in the
eighth. Baughman of the visitors
started the frame with a clean sim
gle, and Smith sent him to second.
Crawford then hit for one base and
Baughman scored. Holm, first up
for the home team, hit for two bases.
Kester of the visitors fumbled Oh
Inns grounder and Holm scored.
In the ninth three singles by SUIT

Dodgers their last score.
Hellrich and KERN got on in the
latter half of this inning, but failed
to complete the circuit. The score

The home economics of the morning
session was given to practical plans
for teaching domestic science in the
rural school. The instructor called
attention to the various recipes in
the pamphlet that could easily be
used, and much emphasis was put
upon the hot school luncheon. 1t
was not the object of this new law
to have the teacher simply teach the
pupil how to cook or sew, but it's
primary object is the betterment of
home conditions, based upon prac-
teal, scientific knowledge which
ought to be gained by the pupil, and
can through them be introduced in
the home.
The problem of providing food
suitable to the different ages of the
members of the family, the knowl-
edge of food values and the princi-
Piles of cookery ought to result in
better and more sanitary living. In
the afternoon, Miss Richardson dis
tributed a bulletin on garment max
ing and made explanations in regard
to it, which should make it of great
value to the teacher who must have
definite knowledge in regard to the
teaching of sewing.
1t would seem that the teacher in
the rural school has had plenty of
subjects to teach and work to do
heretofore, but no one can doubt the
practical value of these additional
subjects.

Palmer donated two scores to the
visitors in the opening inning, when

base on balls. A scratch hit by
Smith brought in the two base run

and Corbin with a sacrifice fly to

WEBSTER CITY DE-
fEATS FORT DODGE
The Nationals Take Base Ball Gam,
From Visitors by Score of
3 to 6. III.

Webster City evened up the rec
ord with the Fort Dodge ball team
in the game Friday afternoon at
Riverside park, the talley sheet be-
ing 8 to 6 in favor of the Nationals.
1t was an exciting battle, witnessed
by big crowd, the local contingent
being greatly augmented by the
large number of Shriners who were
in the city. The diamond was lit
| tie too heavy for classy ball game
but nevertheless the spectators wit
messed an exciting exhibition and
the local fans were overjoyed with
sweet revenge for the defeat of the
previous day.
Fort Dodge failed to get man on
first base in the opening inning,
Pitcher Ellert retiring Sutton, Kes-
ter and Turgeon in rapid succession.
Wheeler of the Nationals opened the
latter part of the first by flying out
to center field. Holm struck out, but
Vogel hit for one base. Hill was
given a place on first base by Ken
nedys boot and Ohlin walked. Cor
bin brought the pair in with clean
single, just back of second base.
Again in the second, the home
boys squeezed in a score. With two
down, Ellert hit for one bag and was
brought in by Wheeler, who, lined
out a two baser.
In the fourth, the Nationals Sc
cured two more scores without the
aid of hit. KERN walked and
reached second, when Crawford
dropped Sutton's throw. Wheeler
was given life on first, when the OPP
position caught the local pitcher at
second, and on the same play KERN
crossed the plate. Here walk for
Holm and an assortment of wild
throws allowed Wheeler to canter
over the rubber. Holm was caught
at the plate, retiring the side.
| In the fifth the visitors started
things and for brief period it look
ed serious for Ellert. Kennedy
bounced a homer over the left field
fence with one down. Collins flew
out to Holm. Shimell hit a single
as also did Sutton, and Kester
brought them in with two Dagger.
Baughman closed the round by
whiting.
Until the seventh nothing of i'm
portance took place. but in this ses-
sion the home boys again scored with
no hits. Wheeler was given his base
on balls, and Holm sacrificed him to
second. Vogel was walked and an
error at second base gave Wheeler
time to hurry over the counting pan.

TWO BATTLES ON IN GALICIA

Italy in Big Engagement.
TWO BATTLES ON IN GALICIA

London, June 1.-THE allies in
their offensive on the Gallipoli pen
insula June 4 captured and held two
lines of Turkish trenches along a
front of nearly three miles.
In Mesopotamia the British forces
have received from the Turks the
surrender of Amara and taken more
than 1000 prisoners, thirteen guns,
a gunboat, barges and steamers. The
pursuit of the Turks, who were dis
persed into the marshes, continues.
AS in all trench warfare, which
characterizes the fighting on the
Gallipoli peninsula, the allies found
their general advance hindered
through the inability of part of
their force to penetrate the wire en-
tanglements which the artillery fire
had not destroyed. This left other
sections of the force open to an en-
filiating fire, and part of the ground
Sdlllcu lldu " NC given up. al
so was lost when the Turks counter
attacked.
A gain of 500 yards on a front of
three miles in this sort of fighting,
however, is considered satisfactory
by the British, particularly as it in
duced the Turks to counter attack,
in which they suffered heavy losses.
Two battles are in progress in Ga
licia. The Russians have made a
considerable advance on the lower
reaches of the San and have driven
the Austro- Germans back to the
Leng river; while to the southwest
of Lemberg the Austro-Germans are
advancing, although the Russians
are contesting every inch of the
roads to the Galician capital, which
is the objective of the Teutonic al
lies.
The region north of Arras remains
the interesting point on the western
front. Here the French claim to
have gained more ground, and, ac-
cording to their report, have repuls-
ed violent German counter attacks.
The Germans, on the other hand,
say they have repulsed French at
tacks.
The first important battle Of the
Italian campaign is raging for pos
session of Tolmino, where the Ital-
ians have met with the first serious
opposition in their advances across
the Austrian frontier.
Italian warships have been busy
destroying cables and lighthouses in
the Adriatic and have again bonn
barded Monfalcone. There have also
been some naval activity in the Bal
tic, Russian and German squadrons
exchanging shots in the vicinity of
the Gulf of Riga.
Roumania is going through a
crisis similar to that experienced by
Italy before the latter country en-
tered the war. Those who favor neu-
trality and those who favor war held
counter demonstrations at Bucharest
yesterday and the political parties
are getting into shape to put for
ward their views.
The general opinion in London is
that Roumania will join the allies
when Italy gives the word and that
Bulgaria will follow her lead.
With the king of Greece suffering
a relapse and in a serious condition,
no change in the attitude of that
country is expected Immediately.

BLUE RIDGE SCHOOL FOR BOYS
CLOSES AFTER A GOOD YEAR,

The Blue Ridge School for Boys,
which opened in Hendersonville for
first time last summer, closed on We'd
nesday of this week after successful
year.
The closing of the school was mark
ed by the absence of formal exercises.
Prof. J. R. Sandifer says that ex-
cepting the enrolment, he was highly
pleased with the years work and that
the outlook for the coming year is very
bright.
The general business depression az
tendant upon the beginning Of the Eu-
ropean war caused the Blue Ridge to
lcse some students who mad intended
enrolling at the opening of the school.
A number of Hendersonville boys
were numbered among the student
body and as the institution and IT'S
work becomes better known it is ex-
pected tie number of pupils from this
vicinity will materially increase.

have in their hands the fate Of nations,
Is declaration made by Pope Benedict
in a letter to Cardinal Vannutel1i, pub
lished in the 0bservatore Romano. the
Vatican organ.
The pontfff recalls his first encylical
in which he urged the belligerent ma
tions to make peace, but points out
that his voice was unheeded and the
was continued until "the terrible con-
fiagration has extended to our beloved
Italy"
The Holy father then recalls his ef-
forts for the exchange of wounded
prisoners unable to fight again. The
needs of the soul, he writes, especially
attracted fatherly attention and excep-
tional facilities consequently were al
forded all chaplains called under the
colors or attached to the Italian army

The pope exhorts all Catholics to
practice with him for three days a
strict ecclesiastical fast and he accords
a plenary indulgence applicable also
to souls in purgatory.
Continuing, he writes:

might reach all our children affected

suade all of them of our participation
