Sapphires have been favorites Of
royalty, but the best ones are owned
by cardinals of the Roman Catholic

the color Of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
and dignitaries of the church have
their rings of sapphires, unofficially
known as The Clerical Stone" The
largest one in the Morgan collection
weighs 543 carats. Biblical references
to "sapphires," Mr.. Arnold construes
to mean lapis lazuli.

No two men can take thing just
alike, and very few can sit down quiet

wrestle and say: We'll, here l am,
beaten, no doubt, this time; by my
own fault, too. Now. take a good look
at me, my good friends. as l know you
all want to do, and say your say out,
for | am getting up again directly and
having another turn OF it."-Thomas

CITY ON THE OPENING DAY
OF BASEBALL LEAGUE
Grand Military Pageant is Being
Planned-Candidates Will Be
Present-Picnie in Gilchrist
Park

Plant City, May 13.-Mayor c.
B. Root has issued a proclamation
declaring next Thursday, May is,
between the hours of noon and six
o'clock p. m, a legal holiday, in
view of the official opening of the
West Coast Baseball League here on

DRY at eight o'clock in the evening.
The day will be given over to
general picnic and celebration in
Gilchist Park, beginning in the

ball game n the afternoon, and will
be known as Plant City Day. 1t is
planned to have as many as possible

speeches by these candidates. The
outlined program for the day will
begin at ten o'clock with an address
of welcome by Hon. R R. Tomlin,
who will serve as master of cere-
monies during the day.
Inasmuch as the opening ball game
of the season will be played on the
Plant City diamond, and the open
ing night of the local military COM
pany will take place at eight o'clock
that evening, it is planned to have
grand military pageant during the
day, headed by the Plant City band
and the local company of State mill
tia. Arrangements for the parade
through the business section of the
city have not been completed, though
it is planned to have the full mill
tary company parade in uniform;
this, however, will be somewhat de-
pendent upon the closing of the bus
mess houses during the afternoon in
| order that number of the members
of the company may be free who
. would otherwise be employed.
Tentative plans are for long pa
rade, led by Major V. B. Collins
commanding the Second Battalion
Second infanty, of the National
Guard of Florida, followed by Mayor
G. B. Root and the city officials, the
Plant City band, the visiting ball
players from Ybor City, the mem
bers of the home team, the full COM
pany of local guardsmen, conclud-
ing with a large number of citizens.
Details for the parade will be ar
ranged and this formation carried
out if possible. The parade will form
in Collins street, just north of Reyn-
, olds street, and previously designat-
, ed route through the city will be fol-
lowed, ending in Gilchrist Park,
; where the big picnic will by that
time be full swing.
The ball game is scheduled to be-
gin at two o'clock, and before that
time the local military company, il
included in the parade may give an
4 exhibition drill and parade on the
:, ball field. Much interest in the oc-
r casion is being manifested in the
h city, and it is proposed to make the
U day the biggest celebration of the
$ season, drawing hundreds of visitors
= from all over the county. Provision
will be made by the local ball team
for the serving of lunches and other
usual refreshments in the park
throughout the day at a nominal
cost.

Iour Grade Crossings Could BE
Eliminated at About Same Cost
as Hard-Surfacing Road

a plan for improving East Main
street has been suggested. which
would cost little more than the pro-
posed hard surfacing of the stretch
OF road between the concrete bridge
and the city limits, but would result
in far greater benefits to the city.
The idea is to build wooden viaduct
from the ridge from which the rock
was taken by the Warren Construc-
ton company, to College Park addi-
ton. The viaduct would be about
1000 feet long and extend over the
railroad tracks, thereby eliminating
four grade crossings With a little
change the Busby road could strike
the yiaduct at the College Park end.
Most of the expense of the pro-
posed hard surfacing Of the road will
fall upon the railroad companies and
there is little doubt that they would
prefer to put the same amount Of
money into the viaduct, which would
eliminate four dangerous grade

grieyed to learn of the death of Mrs

at Medical Lake, Waterville and
Mansfield.

Later she took up the work of teach
ing, which had been her vocation
prior 10 her marriage, and at the
time of her death was principal of
one of the Wenatchee schools.
In October of the past year her
health began to fail and an opera
ton at the Mayo Bros, hospital in
Rochester, Mimi, revealed the fact
that she was suffering from cancer
of the liver, for which there was no
help. She went then TO her girlhood
home in Avon, n. y, where her last
days were spent at the home Of her
sister, Mrs. Samuel Leighton.
She leaves one son, Ralph Allen
Barrows, who was born in Pullman
II years ago. To him, now be-
reaved OF both parents, goes the sym
patty Of Mrs. Barrows' many friends
here. Ralph will make his home
with his aunt in Avon.
The hundreds Of friends Mrs. Bar
rows leaves in the different parts of
Washington, where her influence has
been felt, will feel a personal loss but
will be
All richer for the life she gave
All poorer for its broken spell.

BOILER WILL NOT
ACCEPT NEW OFFER
Turns Down o. \. {. Position to Re-
main as Head of Athletics at
w. S. G.

After a series of conferences with
President e. o, Holland, Athletic
Director J. Fred Boiler announced
Wednesday that he would not ac-
cept the position offered him as
director of athletics at Oregon Agri-
cultural College Mr.. Boiler was
elected to the position at the Corval-
lis institution by the O. A. c. board
of regents at a meeting on Saturday
and was notified Immediately of his
selection. Following the receipt OF
the news a number of conferences
were held between President !Iol-
land and Mr.. Boiler, at which the
athletic director decided to lemain
in his position.
In announcing that he would re-
main as athletic director here Mr..
Boiler made the following state
ment:
Since the notice of my election to
the O. A. c. position appeared in the
papers a great deal of pressure has
been brought to bear upon me by
students, alumni and faculty who
urged that | remain here and !
found it difficult to ignore tie
wishes of these friends. Then. TOO,
in my conferences with President
Holland | learned something of his
policy in regard to the department
of physical education, and in view
of what the future promises dill
not feel justified in leaving 4 field
with which | am acquainted for one
untried, as a new position always is
Had he accepted the 0. A. c. Of
fer Mr. Boiler would have had
charge of an athletics at the Ore
gon school, and his duties would
have included coaching the basket
ball and track teams and training
all the athletic teams. The offer
was an attractive one, inasmueh as
training and athletic facilities at o.
A. c.. are much better than here,
and the salary offered was several
hundred dollars in advance Of the
salary Mr.. Boiler receives here. 1t
is probable that the salary here will
be raised by the regents of the col
lege previous to the beginning of the
next school year.
Mr.. Boiler has been at Washing
ton State College for the past eight
years, and as a trainer of athletes
there is no better in the west. Much
of the credit for the wonderful show
ing of the w. s. c. football team last
fall goes to Mr.. Boiler. In every
game on the hard schedule the w.
s. c. men proved to be in much bet
ter physical condition than their OPP
ponents, and the exceptional staying
powers of the w. S. c. men in the
big Brown game at Pasadena attract
ed the attention Of athletics mentors
in all parts of the United States.

SUGGEST East Main Street VidduCt

crossings. Members OF the city coun-
ell who have looked into the viaduct
plan believe that it is feasible and
would be a great benefit as it would
give a short route to the college and
to College Park addition. which is
within the city limits, and is build
ing up quite rapidly.
The same plan was suggested
many years ago and the money
raised for the construction of the
viaduct but the city turned down the
proposition on account Of the eX-
pense of grading Main street
through the ridge by Marion Spawr's
property. A large portion Of this
ridge has now been cut away TO fur
nish crushed rock for street improve
ments and the street could be opened
up at comparatively small expense
The matter will be brought to the
attention of the railroad officials and
if they show a disposition to cooper
ate the viaduct is likely to be built
1t is estimated that it could be con
structed for about $4,000, nearly the
same sum as would be required for
the proposed road improvement.
