In other days the trading of Frank
Schultz and Bill Fischer to Pitts

would have been a sensation, but
baseball is such an upset affair these
times that it takes a bigger shift
than that to give the fans a thrill.
Cub followers feel a wrench at the.
departure of Schultz, the last regu-
lar Of the old bOne-cTUshing machine,
but they must admit that Tinker and
Weeghman have made a move that
should benefit the club in the long
run.
Four outfieIders of merit remain

Land Values and Population Increased
by Consolidated School

Parker, in Douglas county, has a
splendid consolidated school. 1t has al
ready made record for enrolment, of
the census, average daily attendance
and efficiency, in many ways. Land
values have increased, settlers with
families have moved in, so that the
census of the district has increased
twenty per cent. over what it was last
year. Most of these and other improve
ments are attributed to the efficiency
of the new school.
Two transportation vans bring the
children eight miles to the central
school. One wagon, in reaching the
homes Of children on its route, goes thru
eleven gates, but in spite of long dis
tances, many gates and heavy roads,
both the transportation and the consoli-
dated school are marked success.
The old way was to take the school
to the children. The new way is to
take the children to the school.
People do not care so much today
how far it is to school as they do what
kind of school it is after their children
reach it, especially when comfortable
covered vans or autos are used AZ con-
veyances &C. G. Sargent, Colorado

Fined for Gossiping

Desiring to create new reputation
for the organization known as the
Ladies Aid Society,"" the Baptist
ladies' at their first meeting, February
%, resolved that there should be no
gossiping at their meetings, and that if
any member should be caught in the
act she should be fined ten cents. Not
mentioning any names, seven ladies held
meeting on Wednesday afternoon, dur
ing which time the first offence was
made. The offender still holds that the

A Grievous Adventure

A dozen daring adventurers left town
late Tuesday afternoon to attend "The
Birth of the Nation" at Greeley. The
recent rains had somewhat soilsd the
roads, and all four cars stuck at one
time, while each one stuck at other
times. delaying the "theatre-goers"
until they missed part of the first reel
of films. Four blow-outs on the return
trip made it also quite disastrous, as
we'll as expensive. Some of the crowd
got back to town at o. clock Wednesday
and the others arrived later in the day.
All report an exceptional trip. The
dates, August and 2, will most likely
be remembered for sometime by w. S..
