A rousing meeting in the interests OF
the Burlington Way, national high
way which it is expected will even
tually run from New Orleans to Win
nipeg, was held last evening at the
Rural town hall Supervisor Fred ".
Young, field secretary for the commit
tee in charge of the solicitation of
funds for the improvement of the Rock
Island division of the road which ex-
tends from Galesburg to Rock Island,
arranged the gathering and was much
encouraged by the spirit of coopera-
ton which was manifested by the far
mers.
Local road boosters attended the
meeting. making the trip by automo-
bile. A pleasing surprise was given
the tourists when they arrived at the
town hall for George W. Hill, Rock
Island, representing the Domestic En-
gineering company, Dayton, Ohio,
which manufactures the Delco-Light.
making it possible for every farm to be
lighted by electricity. who was driv-
ing in the country and learned of the
conference and had driven there early
and put his plant in operation, which
added much to the convenience of the
visitors.
Mr. Young, who has been laboring
along the proposed Burlington Way in
this county for some weeks, stated the
purpose of the meeting explaining
that the Knoxville road was a part of
the big highway and that it is pro-
posed to oil it and mark the poles
from New windsor to Rock Island, the
Galesburg boosters taking care of the
expense of the work from that city to
New Windsor.
J. T. Marion. president of the Rock
Island Business Mems association, ex
planned that Rock Island will give 81
for every dollar which the farmers
donate toward oiling the Knoxville
road He referred to the fact that Mo-
line merchants had agreed to equal
any amount that the farmers would
give toward fixing up the Coal Valley
road and declared that he thought the
liberal proposition which this city had
made should be given serious consid-

resented at the Boosters meet
ing at Huron, on Tuesday of this
week and selected as their dele
gate, F. A. Finch. Mr.. Finch,

excuse us since the office is

will Organize
Base Ball Team

A movement has been started
by the baseball fans and players
to get a team started for this
year. Indications are that Lem
mon will hold her former reputa.
ton of having a championship
team and no doubt some fast
games will be seen here the COM
ing year.
The diamond that was used
last year will undoubtedly be
abandoned and a new field layed
out on the fair grounds. A new
grandstand is proposed and this
city will have one of the best
fields in this section of the coun-
try.
Of last years team that will
probably be in uniform this year
are: Crosse. Borresen. Thomas,
Sheets, Baker, Johnson, with a
probability of reveral who were
on the bench part Of the time.

Lennon High School
Wins DOubIeHeader

On Friday, March Sd. the
Lennon high school basketball
team Journeyed to Mclaughlin
where they met that team on
their own floor. The Lennon
team succeeded in winning the
game by score of 40 to s. The
McLouglin team put up a very
strong fight and interest did not
lag for the spectators. The
Lennon team was somewhat
handicapped by the small floor
space, playing in a hall about
half as big as the Lennon Ar
mory where our boys have been
used to practicing. However.
their team work has never been
surpassed by any team the Lem.
mon high school has ever had,
by the way the boys playing in
such small hall. it shows their
power of adapting themselves to
any size hall and being able to
defeat the team that has been
practlcing there all season. Af-
ter the game one of the Nc
laughlin players made the state
ment that, 1t was no use for
them to try to keep track of the
ball, and he did not see how it
was possible for the Lennon
team to watch it. because it went
so fast The different PLAYS

all worked out to perfection.

vored by Delaney.
The advertising pamphlet is

the measure on the grounds tina
it was of no benefit to the farm

handicapped by the loss of his

There is just one way to
make money in farming" he
said, and that is to combine
your small grain raising with
livestock. Use brains in your
farm work. and the loss of an
arm won't matter"
Mr.. Walker gave the following
as his trial balance for the year:
Income from hogs sold 81, OPS
Income from beef cattle. $50
Income from horses sold %. 200
Income from wheat raised 5000

MObridge vs.. Lennon

After winning the Mclaughlin
game on Friday night, the Lem
mon high school team went to
Mobrldge where they played Sat.
urday night. AS on the preced-
ing night, they again won the
game by score Of 80 to 8. In
this game the Lennon team had
more room which they used to
good advantage. Throughout
the entire game the Mobridge
team played defensive, trying to
keep the Lennon team from
making points. but in spite of
this could not be held down.
Again the teams good coaching
and splendid team work showed
up TO their benefit. Many times
the boys would be shooting the
ball around to each other and the
opposing team would be grouped
together in the center of the hall
wondering where the ball was.
The Mobrldge team plays it's in
dividuals, or each man for him
self. while the Lei mon team
plays as if it !" ere one body, all
cooperating; it makes no differ
ence to them who makes the
baskets as long as they are made

The Wave and the Tide


Recoil in shattered foam,
Yet still the sea behind them
Urges its forces home;
Its chant Of triumph surges
Through all the thunderous din
The wave may break in failure,
But the tide is sure to win.
The reef is strong and cruel;
Upon its Jagged wall
One wave, score, a hundred,
Broken and beaten fall;
Yet in defeat they conquer,
The sea comes flooding in
Wave upon wave is routed.
But the tide is sure to win!
o mighty sea. thy message
In changing spray is cast;
Within Gods plan of progress
1t matters not at last
How wide the shores of evil.
How strong the reefs of sin
The wave may be defeated.
But the tide is sure to win!
