YERINGTON GRAMMAR
SCHOOL PLAYGROUND

The Yerington Grammar School is
soon to be the possessor of as we'll
equipped playground and as beautiful
a lawn as any school in Nevada. Early
in the fall the trustees had the ground
leveled, making pos. IDLE the laying
out OF football field and baseball
diamond. Mr.. Lynch, superintendent
OF grounds and buildings OF the Uni
versity of Nevada, visited Yerington
and Handicapped the grounds. The
University also has been kind enough
to send a large number OF trees TO
the school, AS result, the grounds
will be surrounded by trees. County
Commits sioner Bertrand has been kind
enough 10 allow the school to connect
up TO the ditch that runs back OF the
school, so that plentiful supply OF
water will be assured. A lawn is
to be planted in front OF the school
building after the ground has been
thoroughly prepared by blowing, fer
tilizing and filling up with soil. A
walk is to be laid from the gate and
around the sides of the building
Most OF the expense of the walk is to
be borne by the parent-teachers as
fsociation. Flower gardens are to be
planted around the school, and in the
future there is no reason why the
building should not be covered with
ivy and the fence in front should not
be mass of bloom.
The baseball diamond has been i'm
proved by the erection of backstop
Go by 10, broad jumping and high
jumping pits. There is no reason why
with a small expenditure of money
and labor Yerington should not have
one of the best Fairgrounds in the
State. Considerable improvement will
and should be made as rapidly as pos
sible, for this will probably be the
only place suitable for play activ-
tiles and outdoor athletics in town
There is no apparent reason why the
play rooms in the school should not
be comfortably fitted up for club
rooms for the boys and girls and kept
open evenings. A progressive COM
inunity like Yerington should see to it
that her young people should be able
10 go to comfortable club room to
read up-to date magazines on current

ANY CORN LIFTS OUT,
DOESN'T HURT A BIT!
No foolishness! Lift your corns
and calluses off with fingers
It's like magic!
.".".".~.~s.".".~.~.~. ~.-.-.-.~.~.~.".~..1

Sore corns hard corns, soft corus or
any kind Of corn, can harmlessly be
lifted right out with the fingers if you
apply upon the corn a few drops OF
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
For little cost one can get a small
bottle of freezone at any drug store,
which will positively rid ones feet OF
every corn or callus without pain.
This simple drug dries the moment
il is applied and does not even irri-
tate the surrounding skin while APP
plying 1t or afterwards.
This announcement will interest
many Of our readers. If your druggist
hasn't any freezone tell him to surely
get a small bottle for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

Millions Spent on Music.

If expenditure Of money is any test,
America can certainly claim the credit
of being a musical country. Accord
Ing to an estimate compiled some time
ago by an expert, the United States
spends no less than f120,O00,000 on
music every year. This is three times
ms much as the same country spends
Germany" II Is pointed out, spends ten
times as much on its army and navy
as on its music.
In the American total, church music
accounts for f10,O00,0C0 a year. The

MIST00K HUNTER FOR STUMP
Nimrod's Peculiar Experience With
Lynx Who Had Been After a
Squirrel Dinner.

was once teaching school, writes q
Companion reader, in "a backwoods
| region, where game was very plenti.
full. One afternoon in the hunting sea-
! son l made my way to u small valley
about a mile from the settlement,
down which ran a well-beaten deer
| trail.
took my post on small hill that
commanded good view of the valley.
In front of me, and about II feet dis
tant, was large pine tree behind me
was an old stump. AS the evening
was cool, l wore a gray sweater, and
my hat was also gray.
After waiting for nearly an hour, /
noticed a movement in n small clump
OF bushes to my right. Then the horns
and head of a large buck appeared,
but he drew back before / had a
chance to fire. With rifle cooked and
finger on the trigger, crouched, wait
ing for him TO show himself again,
a squirrel chartered sharply from
the stump behind. Then he landed
squarely on the top of my head, from
which he sprang to the tree. Irame-
diately after L was thrown violently
forward on my face by some heavy
object that descended with great force
on my back. The blow almost drove
the breath from my body. My rifle
was discharged as 1 fell.
Very much surprised and consider
ably alarmed, 1 scrambled to my feet,
but nothing living was in sight. 1
peered behind stumps and fallen logs,
more mystifed every moment. No owl
swooping down upon the squirrel
could have inflicted such blow, neith-
er had any limb fallen from the tree.
looked up among the thick foliage,
but there was nothing to be seen. 1
walked round to the other side of the
tree. On n large bough, but well hid
den, discerned a dim, gray shape. 1t
was a full-grown lynx. 1 brought him
down by well-directed shot.
Now 1 understood the situation. Near
the stump on which the squirrel had
been sitting lay a large log. Behind
this the lynx had crept on his prey.
In escaping, the little animal had
leaped to my head, and thence to the
tree. His enemy had followed him,
and he must have been nightly sur
prised at landing on man, and also
by the report of my rifle.
Naturally / saw nothing. more of the
deer, but was richer by a fine lynx
