Gail turned sick at heart as she

and the dripping details, with many
variations, were in all of them. She
glanced over toward the rectory and
the dignified old church standing be-

humiliation. A sort Of ignominy

particularly resented was that por-

upon her. She could not make out
why this should be; but 1t was. Aunt
Grace Sargent, bustling about to see
that Gail was supplied with more

look Of distress on Calls face. and

B. Anger and G. A. Branscombe.
The question for debate was, RE
solved that bench of three judges
should be substituted for our present
jury system in the trial of tivil and
criminal cases. Both sides presented
logical arguments which in themselves
indicated period of careful and sys-
tematic preparation by the debaters.
The young people gathered information
from all suorces and presented it in
a convincing way.
In Judging the individual work of the
debaters, Mac Leonard was given first
place with a percentage of 95. james
Yates took second with grade of "a
Miss Annie Norwood was given third

Last Saturday evening the key was
turned at the Community Club for the
summer after very successful two
months trial. The club represents the
bringing to our city of the modern
social ideals. These ideals are based
on two facts: The first one may be
stated in the words of Holy Writ emo

is derived from the first anG may be
stated thus: "Each generation owes a
complete education to the succeeding
generation, an education that includes
a training in the knowledge of play or

knowledge of work" The club IS short

BALL GAME SUNDAY.
Grangeville to Play uo-Vollmer Next
Sunday on Home Diamond.

The game with Nezperce billed for
last Sunday was postponed on account
of rain. This game was to be the open
ing game, but the opening game will be
next Sundays game with Ilo-Vollmer.
The only mistake made last week was
in ordering good weather and this has
been corrected this time. An excep-
tionally fine day is expected with a big
crowd to enjoy the event.
The opening ceremonies annouced last
week and will be pulled off Sunday.
Ex-Mayor Sims decalres that the rain
was most opportune as he desired more
time to get in condition. Mayor Full
ton also has had an opportunity to be-
come familiar with the duties of his
office and to lend all the dignity which
the occasion demands.
Therefore the fans may expect as
formerly announced, Immediately pre-.
ceeding the game, in the formal open
ing ceremonies, that Ex-Mayor Sims
will appear in the pitcher IS box, Mayor
Fulton will stop the fast ones behind
the bat, w. w. Brown will umpire and
s. A. Anderson will knock one over the
fence for home run. All these
gentlemen are in good condition, as arc
the local team. The ball boys earnestly
expect to win this opening game anc
have put in some consistent practice
during the extra allotted time
