With the coming of spring time,
the croak of frogs, the piping Of the
robin, and the bursting Of buds,
there comes that longing for the
out doors that finds its keenest
satisfaction in our National Game.
During the long winter days we
sigh for a gymnasium and bemoan
the fact that no place is provided
for basket ball or other form Of in
door athletics, but we now have the
whole blue sky under which to
stretch our legs, I'LL our lungs with
good fresh air and chase a horse
hide ball to our hearts content.
If numbers, enthusiasm and prac-
tice count for anything it would
seem that the Mt. Sterling High
School is to be represented by a
fast team of base ball players this
season. The Fair Grounds park is
scene of unusual acticity each af-
ternoon when about twenty Of High
Schools huskiest lads meet for a
hard workout, getting ready for
their opening game at Cynthiana
April 10th.
The schedule prepared for this
year is one Of the hardest under
taken by the locals in many years,
and includes the best High School
teams in Central Kentucky.
Many are trying for places on the
team and there promises to be a
hard contest over some Of the po-
sitions. The following are report
ing for practice each afternoon !:
Kelly, Hainline, DeHaven, Coleman,
Oldham, Daniel, VanAntwerp, Mes
bitt, Bolts, Dale, Duty. Chenault,
Sullivan, Wells, and Langston. The
games already scheduled are as fol-
lows:
April 16-Cynthiana at Gym
thiana; April 19-Lexington at Lex
ington; April 26-Winchester at Mt.
Sterling; April 30-Frankort at
Frankfort; May 3-Cynthiana at
Mt. Sterling; May 1O-Frankfort at
Frankfort; May 14-Lexington at
Mt. Sterling; May 21-Winchester
at Winchester; June 3-Frankfort
at Mt. Sterling.
There is great probability that
additional games will be arranged
not only with the teams of the As
ISOLATION, but with Richmond, Ow-
ingsville and Carlisle.
The local "fans" will have an OPP
portunity to see some high class
base ball this season and those who
have seen the locals work out, say
that they will be contenders for first
place in the Central Kentucky High
School Athletic Association.
All games will be played under
the rules of the Association which
Iprescibes the qualifications of play
ers, requires that only bona fide
students engage in games, etc.
The home team hopes to have new
base ball suits and equipment of
every sort and in order that the
season be successful, it will be nee
essary that the town Of Mt. Sterling
support the team by attending
games, boosting and manifesting OPP
timism as to it's ultimate success.

WHAT IS MEANT
BY CONSOLIDATION
"a contributed article continued
from last week.

By consolidation Of schools is
meant the uniting Of two, three, or
more small schools into one large
and strong school, possessing a COM
Portable and sanitary building, two
or more good teachers, (teachers
with high school education and Nor
NAL training, and reasonable facil-
tiles for work. In many respects it
is desirable to consolidate at a small
village and to place the building
there; but there is no reason why
the school should not be located in
the most convenient place for dis
tricts concerned. The whole pur-
pose of consolidation, in any event,
is to continue. and foster the rural
school.

CONCERNS DEMAND ABSTINENCE.

The Milton Manufacturing company, the American Car X Foundry com pany, and s. J. Simmer & Sons of Milton, Pennsylvania, have issued or ders demanding that their employees abstain from alcohol and refuse to sign license petitions of otherwise in dicate sympathy for the saloon.
 Thirty men were discharged by the American Car & Foundry company because they signed liquor license ap- plications.
 These companies do not desire to influence the opinions of the employ ees in regard to prohibition. but they take the stand that the man who signs a liquor license application does not properly appreciate the danger of liq- uor to himself and the community. He is, therefore, not a safe employee for concern demanding efficiency.
 Indulgence in the use of liquor is menace to all business interests declared MT. George S Simmer, presi. dent of the Milton Manufacturing company. If the employees should be protected by the employer. why shouldn't the employer be as we'll pro- teeted by the employee? Our employ ees have congratulated us upon the step we have taken"

CAN'T BELIEVE IN THIS FROG
Batrachian Found lmbedded in Coal Proves Too Much for the Brit
 ish Mind.

Really that frog which was found in the middle of seam of coal in the Trafalgar colliery, Forest of Dean, grows more and more mysterious. re- marks the London Globe. At first everybody assumed that either as an egg or a tadpole, it had tumbled through some opening on the surface and was expecting deliverance with that placidity which distinguishes the batrachian mind. But now that the hollow in the block of coal in which it was found has been carefully exam ined the existence of any such opening seems definitely to be disposed of and we are faced by the astonishing suggestion that the frog has been there ever since the coal was first deposited
 Sooner than believe that we would believe anything. A frog may be long lived and we understand the creature can get along quite comfortably with out food for some considerable time. But that this beast should have lived for millions of years without food or water is a notion we really cannot swallow. and sooner than accept it

WON IN TIE FLOOD
By THOMAS MILTON.

Karlson's wheat elevator was sim pie, an oblong wooden box, standing on end, with a flight of wooden stairs running up one side. By means of a crane the wheat was slung up in the bags, which were emptied by a man at the top of the flight. When the eleva. tor was full he opened a window and descended the outside. This was in the early days when the flood of pros perity compelled farmers to build these structures to hold their bulging crops.
 But Upas City had not calculated that the Divide river would change it's course one night. There was nobody to telegraph the news, for everyone about the upper reaches had been swept to death by the flood. Karlson had had some trouble with his girl Nan, who was in love with Sim Thompson, capable young foreman, but a man to whom Karlson had taken an antipathy. He lived near his ele- yator, and about ten o'clock, finding Nan out, he strolled over in disgust to look at his crops. He had been afraid the wheat would ferment before he could get it to market. He had just got up to the top of the elevator when the Divide came down.
 karlson heard distant cries, cries nearer and then a wall of water struck the old elevator and sent 1t spinning from its foundations like teetotum. It rolled, fell on its side, and, three parts submerged, went rae ing down the torrent
 By some miracle the tremendous weight of the shifting wheat failed to bury the old man. When he realized what had happened he found himself seated within five feet of the roof.

If you saw a company of pilgrims, walking as if for wager, each with his teeth set, and if you happened to ask them one after another: Whither they were going? and from each you were to receive the same answer: that positively they were all in hurry, they had never found leisure to in- quire into the nature of their errand- confess, my dear sir you would be startled at the indifference they ex- hibited.

which was now one side of the eleva- tor, and, near him, Nan and Thomp son.
 He scowled at them. 50 you're here!" he said.
 Good Lord, MT. Karlson! What has happened?" asked Thompson.
 What are you doing in my eleva- tor?" demanded the old man.
 "Why, you asked me to come, Mir. Karlson, to see if the grain was fer menting."
 And Nan?"
 See here!" shouted Thompson, shaking his fist, Nan and I love one another. and since you won't let me come to your house she had to come to see me at the elevator That's all"
 'All right" answered Karlson. Only, she don't get none of my money, that s all."
 'Why, good Lord, do you suppose you'll have any money or any life either?" shouted Thompson. Look through the window, mani"
 They all looked through the window. The elevator was sailing down the broad stream of the Divide, through what had been desert country. There was nothing but waste of water for a mile on either hand-then came the sage brush and alkali plain
 Do you know where you're going?" asked Thompson. Into the Salt sea. Yes, sir, that's where the Divides talk ing us"
 "All the same, Nan don't get none of my money" answered the old man. ''I think she'll ease up a bit toward morning" said Thompson, and then we'll try to let ourselves down through the outside of the window. Maybe she'll ground somewhere"
 They drew together and consulted. It seemed probable that the elevator would ground if so, it would be an easy matter to get through the win dow. The wheat stretched to the sill, and there was a space of about five feet between the top of the pile and the roof. Plenty of air came through chinks In the walls. But it was pretty warm for lying on.
