Pancho intends striking another blow at the United

In either event, Villa is counting danger If he is

he can obtain the result by coming within range

further provides that pupils NOV

this amendment for a higher

and professional men in favor of
this amendment.

length of the school term, there

I WOLFE WON FOR DAWSON
ON MONDAY AFTERNOON
The Great Wolfe Spilled Our
Beans for Certain in a Shut
Out Game Monday
Afternoon

Mr.. Wolfe, of Dawson, has the
honor of being the first and only
pitcher to score a shut out game
against the Colonists. Heretofore
each game we lost we had scored
at least one run. In two games,
we were saved from the degrada-
ton of shut out by home runs,
Mize and Hates being the parties
who saved us. But Monday we
had no brave champion to lose the
old apple and, to tell the truth,
never had a smell at scoring a
single tally. Mr.. Wolfe was
right and almost untouchable.
| Norris and Hanson made the only
raps. Both died at second on
double plays.
In speaking of the first eight
innings of the game we may again
use the old phrase-it was the
tightest game ever seen on the
diamond. Only one error was
made on either side and that iii
the eighth on a hard outheld
chance.
Dawson went to the bat in the
ninth plumb angry. CHM hunted
and was safe, Wilkes hunted and
was safe, Thrasher hunted safe,
another Thrasher did the same
thing. This proceeding went on
until Dawson had scored five
runs. 1t seemed that every local
player who got his hands on the
ball fumbled. But finally the side
was retired with only five runs.
Wolfe put out the locals, 1-2-3.
Wolfe struck out eleven men
and allowed two hits. In the sec
ond inning Zimmerman jumped
about six feet and speared Rhodes
line drive. In the seventh, Laris-
cy famed one of the Thrashers
"a feature in itself and Hanson
pegged the other trying to steal
second. In the second CHM and
Gilmore featured. Gilmore knock
ed down an almost sure hit by
Milligan and threw the runner out
at first. CHM robbed Mize of a
hit to left field. In the third in
ming Zimmerman, Hanson and
Lariscy were struck out in success
sion by Wolfe, In the fourth and
again in the ninth the double play
Rhodes to Gilmore to Henderson
was effective.

term in South Dakota, with only
a oO-day school term in Tennes-
see, with only 55-day school
term; and in Texas, with only a
3O-day school term. And there
are other states in which the cam
paign for longer rural school
term should be waged in season
and out.
AS a rule, when we speak of
lengthening the school term, it
presupposes the need of more mo-
ney. But in our next talk we
shall endeavor to show how the
school term may be heightened
without voting another mill of
school tax. 1t is due the tax-pay-
er, so far as possible, that we in
crease the school term without in
creaslng his tax; but where this is
impossible, the taxpayer must be
patriotic enough to be willing to
pay the necessary increase of
school tax. If the patriotism of
the taxpayer will not prompt him
to do this, he should do it fer the
sake of enlightened selhshness if
for no higher purpose. He should
know, with Edward Everett, that
Education is better safeguard
of liberty than a standing army .
with Benjamin H. Hill that mo
nation ever yet paid too much for
the education of its people, and
the more it pays for this purpose
the richer. and the more powerful
it will become.
