 Stafford Athletic Association Notes
 The open season for spring and summer sports is again here and the local athletic association proposes te start things off with bang next Tues. day evening at St. Edwards hall. The position is just this: Interest if keen for the big track games to be held on decoration day, but it takes more than interest and gate receipts to pull off meet Further, our diamond favorites were not able te steal the required number of bases last season, that is we need just three new sacks( ten dollars, please). Sc the management will hand out the classiest offering of the season, Deluz photo plays put on right, together with dancing, the best of everything. The main feature will be the recent Paramount release, ''Puddin' Head Wilson" (no political slam). Two rare mutual comedies will follow, one contains trip to Niagara Falls, and all for a quarter. The management have planned to make every body happy, so get your tickets early. All reserved, at Warren's Friday. Dancing 25 cents extra for gentlemen.
 Cummy's Colyum.
 Types we meet: The adventurer. He had come back-baok to the place he called "home town" Once again he passed observantly about, passed over ground he had stubbed over when kid. But, changes had come in the years he had been gone. Houses were where houses had not been lawns sloped away to tar sidewalks where once brush had grown profuse to border on muddy or dusty road, without the suspicion of walk of any kind The main thoroughfare, itself, presented a far different appearance than that of the old days it was now biseoted by trolley line; it's stores were not the dispensaries of the yester years. Few and far between were the mods that fell his way, fewer still the handolasps. (The foregoing the adventurer told us as we walked along for a brief time with him. Now he has gone again to fare we know not where. He has gone with the knowledge that the place of his birth and early youth is his "home town" in name only.

 At the boy who'd just raised Gain By swatting ball through a window
