high SCHOOL NOTES

School begins Monday, Sept. 6.
Practice for football will begin at
once. Mr.. Guetzlow will return a
week before school begins to ar
range the new physical apparatus
and make plans for the Boys Ath-
letic work.
Families wishing to take stud
ents for work for board, will do
we'll to notify the Superintendent
before school opens. Students de-
string places to work or to board,
may also get help from the Office.
There will be two changes in the
Grades. Miss Lavina Christensen,
a graduate of the local Normal, will
teach in Room and Miss Pearl
Currier, also of the River Falls
Normal, will be Assistant in the
Junior High School. Miss Christ
ianson has had considerable sue
cessful experience as a primary
teacher and Miss Currier has had
eight years, experience.
All the teachers in the High will
return with the exception of Miss
Smith who leaves for larger field.
Her place will be taken by Miss
Edith Stuart, a graduate of Law
renee College. Miss Stuart is also
a graduate of the Plattveill Normal
and has had two years successful
experience in the Seneca High
School. In addition to the History
work Miss Stuart will have charge
of the Girls Athletic work.
During the last week of vacation,
a committee will visit school and
home gardens and award the prizes
offered by the school for the best
kept pupils gardens. All children
who have kept up their gardens
through the summer are requested
to call Mr.. AlmY over the telephone
and ask for an inspection. Should
the condition of the gardens war
rant it, display of flowers and
vegetables will be made at the
school and further prizes awarded.
Indications are that the enroll
gnent will exceed that of last year.
More than the usual number of
common school graduates have
written for information, and some
of the upper classes will be enlarged
by the addition of students from
other high schools offering only a
thr &c year course. Roland Badger
will bring a brother with him. In
dications are that the Senior Class
will be the smallest in point of
numbers. Much of the talent for
leadership in all school activities
lies in this class however and they
will doubtlessly make up in quality
what they lack in quantity.
The new heating and ventilating
system for the old part of the
building is nearly completed. 1t
will be installed before school be-
gins. Rooms 4, IL, and twelve have
been newly decorated, the halls have
been re-painted and the east end of
the Assembly Room, which up to
last year contained the library

WE BEAT EN-

The Ellsworth business mems
baseball team, headed by j. E.
(Stub) Thurston, came out here
Friday to show as just what a real
bunch of players could do. They
done noble"-but And here's
where our heroes come in-the TO-
cal aggregation beat 'em up, to 5.
Skogmo, Fortune and Wassc n
were the particular stars of this al
fair, the first two contributing hts
which gave River Falls the much
needed scores, and the latter step
ping to the mound when all seemed
lost, and saved the day by excellent
pitching.
Morse started on the mound for
River Falls, and although the visit
ors did not get safe hit off his de-
livery, Lewis and Thurston were
boosted around the circuit on err
rors. For RIVER Falls, Krauth hit
safe and was scored by Morse.
Lewis pitched.
Iii the second frame Krauth fan
ned Carr, Anderson and Munger,
without even foul tip. Brown was
the only local player to score eff
Doolittle.
Nelson and Ray Hyatt were the
opposing twirlers in che third, and
one tally was scored against each
of them, Doolittle and Nelson being
the offenders.
Harlander started the 9TH, but
was soon relieved by Anderson, and
Ed. shut the locals out. Brown
played the same trick on the visit
ors.
Hepburn kept Ellsworth score
less in the fifth. Doc Cannon had
hard shedding, Jensen, Skogmo and
Brown all making the circuit dur
ing his administration. This was
the inning where Skogmo and For
une made timely hits, both of them
for two bases.
Jensen passed Lewis, Hyatt and
Thurston in the sixth, and it looked
dark in the west" WATSON was
called off first base to relieve Jen-
sen. Harlander hit an easy ground
er and Lewis was forced at third-for
the first out. Carr bounced one to
Krauth but Jensen missed the toss
and Hyatt and Thurston scored.
Harlander was out at home plate.
Anderson reached second, but ran
Carr off at third, and the game was
over, with River Falls but one run
in the lead.

Two unsigned letters were sent
to this Office last week for publica-
ton. One of them was a contin-
uation of the contrcv ersy between
the baseball teams of Donegal and
Coma. The other was a sad re.
monstrance against the theft of two
bottles of beer. The letter would
wiring fearful sympathy from the
most callouSed heart. 1t seems that
rural patron of the Ellsworth
branch brewery hauled a case of
beer from the local depot to his
farm, and sometime during his trip
through dry" River Falls two bot
tles-full to the cork-were stolen.
1t took two we'll filled pages to ex-
press the victims woe-and prob
ably the remainder of the case to
drown it.

THE OLD ACADEMY GIRLS
PICNIC

August 18th. was a perfect day,
fitting one for the girls" to
gather at the Lodge in Glen Park,
for their annual reunion and picnic
dinner.
On that day the titles Mrs" or
Miss" were dropped from our
names, and again we were just
Alice" Mary, y" Fida, =" Persis, !"
"Elnira /" latte" and all the rest
OF the names by which we were call
ed when we were schoolgirls, and
school girls we surely were once
more, if the happy faces and shouts
of laughter were any index.
Forty-six members sat down to
the banquet prepared by, and in
charge Of Miss Anna DIN. 1t is
needless to say there was no lack
either in quantity or in quality.
Four daughters of the girls wait
ed upon US at the table which was
very prettily decorated with flow
ers. One daughter had placed
sweet peas at each plate for button
hole boquets.
After dinner our president, Mrs.
Louie Burr Fuller called Us to or
der, (let me just add, this was no
small task She said she had been
told that she was expected 10 make
a speech and she was nc speech
maker, but her words Of welcome
needed no apology. She then call
ed upon two of the girls to lead the
singing of some song or hymn and
they certainly surprised US by be-
ginning "OId Grimes is Dead"
however it was followed by Aud
Lang Syne". Next came the roll
call to which forty-six responded
and then messages from twenty
five absent ones were read. BY re-
quest we are giving 10 the public a
part Of the letter from Mrs. John 4.
Gulick, formerly Francis A. Stew
ems, daughter of the first pastor OF
the Congregational church of our
city. Mrs. GuliCk was for many
years missionary in Japan, and is
now living in honolulu, but visit
ing at present in Oakland, Cal. 1t
means much to us when one who
has seen SO much of the world
speaks Of The beauty Of River Falls
scenery.
After the reading Of the minutes
of our last meeting we proceeded to
the election of officers with the fol-
lowing result:
President Ida Ripple
Vice Pres. Frances Baker Williams
Secretary and Treas. Callie Nc
Kahan Elliot. Flower Committee,
Cora Rosenquist Stiles. Commit
tee on Resolutions, Eva Webster
Knowlton Food Commissioner,
Eva Burnett Chinook.
The plan for the banquet this
year was SO satisfactory that it was
voted to carry out the same for next
year, which will cost but thirty-tlve
cents per member. The business
being finished, we fingered awhile
to talk of the past and present be-
fore saying goodby.
Do you think what the end Of perfect day
May mean to tired heart
When the sun goes down with flaming ray
And the dear friends have to part:'
We'll this is the end OF perfect day
Near the end of j journey too.
But it leaves thought that is big and strong
And wish that is kind and true
For memory has painted this perfect day
With cuorS that never fade
And we find at the end or perfect day
The soul OF friend we've made

Acting Secretary.

Lee Glover For Tax Assessor

We present to our readers this week the name of Lee Glov- er of Lonoke, who is seeking the nomination for tax assessor of Lonoke county. at the approach ing Democratic primaries.
 MT. Glover is too we'll and fa- vorably known throughout the county to require an extended notice in his behalf, but for the benefit of those who may not know him, we will say that To noke county has DO better citi- zen within her borders than the subject of this sketch.
 He was born and reared in the northern part of the county and spent the early part of his life on the farm. He removed to To. noke about fifteen years ago and
The Carlisle independent., 1915-11-04

embarked in the wagon an1assr- riage repair business where he has since remained and by his sterling honesty and strict at- tention to his profession he has built up a business of which any one may well fell proud.
 MT. Glover has never aspired to any public office, but is we'll qualified to perform the duties of tax assessor and if he receives the nomination and election no one who supports him will ever have cause for regret. He .is strong believer in the square deal" slogan and we commend his candidacy to the voters of Lonoke county.
