High School Closed Baseball Season
With Overwhelming Defeat.

With Overwhelming Defeat
Bennington high schools baseball
team closed its season Friday after.
noon with an overwhelming defeat at
the hands of the st, Adams high school
nine. The students from the railroad
city scored 16 runs while the best that
the Bennington school boys could do
was to tally four times in the fourth
inning. And but for the wildness of
the st. Adams pitcher it is to be
doubted that they would have made
any one of the four runs.
The Bennington boys did not play
such a ragged game in the field, only
six errors being chalked up against
them, but the way those st. Albans
players banged the ball to all corners
of the lot was disheartening They
batted Leahy and Parsons for 10 hits
and some of the swats went for extra
' bases.

FINE LITTLE DUCK STORY
However, 1t Sounds Too Much Like
Fish Story-But Here
1t 10.

"Jim Jacobs had quite an exciting
experience while hunting ducks. He
had made repeated attempts to get
in range of big flock that had set
tied on his pond, but each time the
ducks would fly before he got in shoot
ing distance. AS soon as he would
leave the ducks would return.
Finally Jim threw his old muzzle-
loader away and gathered about a
dozen big pumpkins and set them
afloat on his pond After the ducks
had got used to the pumpkins, Jim
followed out one, with eyes like
jack-o-lantern, and slipped it over his
head. Then he waded out in the pond
up to his neck and when the flock
was all punched up he got out among
the ducks and caught them by the
feet.
THE plan worked all right, but Jim
was too greedy and kept catching
them until he suddenly felt himself
rising out of the water, and was ter
rified when he found that he was
being rapidly carried away by the
frightened mallards. He didn't dare
let go for fear of falling, and every
second he was being raised higher
above the earth.
Finally a bright idea occurred to
him and he began to release the ducks,
one by one, until he got too heavy, and
they gradually settled down. He still
had enough ducks that when he
dressed them there was meat to last
him and his family all winter. Cher.

How to Use the PRUNING Shears.

Double-cutter shears used in orchard
pruning give good satisfaction when
used upon limbs smaller than three
inches in diameter, writes M. G.
Kains in Farm and Home. When care
Is taken to cut through the bark all
around the branches to be removed.
the wounds heal over much better
than when the growing layer of bark
and young wood are crushed by being
squeezed from opposite sides without
being cut all around first One eau
ton is necessary In using this imple-
ment:
When making cuts of forked limbs
1t is necessary to avoid bearing down,
because the main branch to be left is
likely to split, and heavy load of
fruit the following summer is almost
sure to break the limb at this point.
Effort should always be made to lift
when making such cuts. Indeed, it is
good plan always to cut off the
branch foot or so beyond the point
where the crotch is and then to re
move the stub with second cut.

IS HELPS
LET EACH CHILD HAVE PLOT
School Gardens Should Be Divided So
as to Give an Individual
Responsibility.

Pupils should have individual gar
dens. Give each child plot and have
the responsibility his alone if only a
single plant can be grown on that
plot, or use a pot plant, advises the
Washington Star. Let the child see
the result of his care or neglect. This
cannot be accomplished where several
children work in the same plot or care
for the same plant. Not many grown
people, IL they are really good garden
ers, would care to have each Of the
neighbors come in and take hand at
his garden. Individual work stimulates
the interest and pride in the work, en-
courages skill and judgment that is
entirely lost by collective work and
at the same time develops the idea of
responsibility
Limited space necessitates the use
OF only compact, low-growing plants.
In vegetables, radishes, lettuce, beans,
beets and similar plants.
The children should do all the work,
preparing the land, planting the seed
and caring for the plants, the teacher
explaining each step. Bulletin 218 of
the department of agriculture de-
scribes the work and it is sent free on
application.
From Washington southwark seeds
may be planted in the open ground,
but in the North the seeds should be
sown in boxes and kept growing until
the middle of May to the first of June,
according to the latitude, when they
can be planted in their permanent 10
cations.
Towering plants that are good for
the purpose are ageratum, nasturtium,
petunia, California poppy, zinnia and
portulaca.

1--WE are very glad you have come
and you are truly welcome, Mr.. War
den, or shall call you Albert? You
know your mother is the dearest friend
of mine. Yours brought my father
and mother together years ago, and If
it hadn't been for that you would not
be here today, nor either" !.
The young man gazed studiously in
to the friendly, intelligent eyes of the
speaker. She was not pretty, in fact
any of the girls scattered about the
lawn excelled her in loneliness, but
there was something genuine and
charming in all that she said and did.
CAS- I understand" went on Mary
Hope, II am to be your guide, guardian
and chaperon. When we speak Of you
it is always as if you were almost a
relative, SO can be right out sisterly
with you, can't I, Alberto"
"You set me at ease, you make me
very happy" spoke Albert Warden in
his usual blunt, honest fashion. "You
see, / have been a bookworm. I don't
know what tennis Is. AS to the girls
I am afraid they will think me rather
crude, for l have never had much ex
perience with them
Indeed" responded Mary with
dancing eyes. Nov we can sit on this
rustic bench for a few minutes until
the game begins and will post you."
Thereupon she proceeded to desig
nate, individually and specifically, the
members Of the merry quartet on the
lawn.

ating on the merits Of the others and

age. as taboo. Remember that, AL
bert"
"And what does taboo mean in this
instance?" inquired Albert.
'Just this: She Is engaged
"To the fellow with herr"
ooh, dear, no! You don't like his
looks, see. Well, to be frank with
you, neither do I. He is Gregory Milne
and an old discarded lover of the girl
with him, Eta Vincent. Her fiance is
away for two months and Milne has
haunted her ever since. Her fiance is
a Jealous man, and it has seemed to
me all along that Milne Is pressing his
unwelcome attentions on Eta just to
make trouble. When Gordon Massey
returns"
"Who?" challenged Albert, with a
quick start.
"Mr. Massey, Etta's fance. Why, do
you know him?"
HE was my closest chum at col
lege," explained Albert and he sur
veyed the rival lover thoughtfully.
He was admiring. grateful and at
tracted by the trouble Mary took to
make him at home at tennis. She was
older than most of the girls, and as
hostess seemed to be some gracious
lady chatelaine, with the thought only
Of making everybody happy.
Mary began to do some serious
thinking, however, as the pleasant days
drifted by. Enthusiastically to her mind
Albert had gone directly against her
suggestions. He was courteous to all,
but the tabooed girl seemed to have
fascinated him. Whenever he could he
was with her and Eta appeared to be
nleased with his attentions. Milne was
furiously incensed, for Albert constant
" forestalled him in securing the COM
pany Of Eta.
It was in the thoughts Of Mary more
than once to speak with Albert on the
subject of his flirting, or counting,
whichever it was, with Eta Vincent.
There was a delicate construction OF
unfaithfulness to his friend Massey In
his action.
1T may be passing fancy" con-
cluded Mary. IF not, my influence
would not deter him, fear"
To herself Albert was more than
courteous. Mary had lost a pet doc.
It was missing for a week. She was
wild with delight when Albert restored
it. as she knew after, trouble and ex-
pense.
"You kind, good friend" she de-
clared exuberantly and seized both OF
his hands in transport Of rapture
