Lexington High School WINS.

Ry 4 score of Ii to 6 the Lex
ington high school defeated
Batesburg here last Thursday.
At the beginning OF the game
it looked good for the visitors,
hut Edwards was a little wild
and the locals soon found him
rapping out twelve hits. How
ever. Batesburg played a good
game and their fielding, on the
whole, was generally conceded
to be better tnan Lexington.
The playing of Jack Hartley at
second base and RADON at short
stop was very good.
For the locals the playing OF
Thomas and Boozer was brilliant.
In the eighth inning Thomas at
short made a one-hand stab that
would have done credit to any
professional player. Harmon at
left field made a beautiful stop
in the ninth inning. But the
outstanding feature OF the game
was the hitting OF, Boozer, VINO

double and a triple out OF i've

and knew how to work.
One morning their father and
mother went to the city to be gone
all day, and after the boys finished
their work they went into the woods
for berries.
They had filed their pals and were
returning home when William said:

TEACH BOYS MILITARY DRILL
Australian Youths Enter Ranks Of
"JunIor Cadets" at Age Of Twelve
Must Be a Soldier.

Australian boys begin their military
career at the age Of twelve years,
when they enter the ranks Of the "Ju-
nior Cadets" and drill under the in
struction Of their schoolteachers.
Their target practice is limited to
shooting what is popularity known as
the twenty-five" rife.
At the age of fourteen the school
boy is graduated into the Senior Ca
diets" and here his military training
begins in dead earnest. He learns to
care for his rife which the govern
ment furnishes to him. The state also
gives him an olive drab military uni
form. He learns the movements Of
squad and company formations and
learns to deploy as skirmisher.
The Australian schoolboy becomes
soldier irrespective Of his own
wishes in the matter. or those Of his
parents. Truancy officers, such as in
this country watch the attendance at

told William. and blow loudly as you

The pump was near enough to the
barn, so that he did not have to run
far, and Thomas pumped and carried
pals OF water and threw on the burn
ing floor. His poor arms ached and
his hands smarted. but he did not stop.
and by the time the horn was heard
by the farmer down the road, Thomas
had succeeded In nearly extinguish-
ing the flames. The lower part OF the
barn was damaged, but by his hard
work Thomas had kept the fire from
spreading and saved the house. He
had saved his brother, also, for II

When their father and mother came
home that night, they saw from the
road that the barn was burned, and

TWO ODD OPTICAL ILLUSIONS
Three Circles Seem to Chase Each
other In Same Dlreetlon--Wlre
Hoops Are Quite Puzzllng.

There are some tricks that can be
played on a persons eyes which are
pure illusions. Hold this paper foot
or more from your eyes and turn it
gently round to the right or left in
small circles, keeping your eyes fixed
on the three rings.
AS you move the paper round like
the hands of watch you will find that
the rings in these circles seem to chase
each other in the same direction, and
the longer and more intently you look
at it the faster they go.
Circles can be made with spokes in
them which to some persons seem to

that in which the paper is turned, but
the illusion is not so perfect unless
the circles are much larger than there
is space for in this column.
Here is another curious optical flu
sion that has puzzled a great many
persons who have tried to account
for it:
If we suppose these to represent
wire hoops, which of them is nearest
you, A or b? The answer is that it
is the one you first make up your mind
