 The game ended with a lucky hit of the high school. The ball was foul but it hit a rock and bounded fair. This brought in the winning run. It was a hard fought battle and ended after a thirteen inning struggle with the score to in favor of K. H. S.

SOCIAL CORNER
tcontinusd from Page Fourteen)

(Continued from Page Fourteen) are a few goods things that will grow in the shade.
 Swiss chard has been called "the lazy mans plant" because it makes good in any garden with little care. Swiss Chard is a white beet that puts the best of itself into it's leaves, making one of the best greens ever served upon the table. It doesn't have to be replanted, but keeps mak- ing edible foliage just as fast as it is cut off and only the heaviest frost inn pairs it. Gather the outside leaves as you do the leaves of rhubarb and the leaves keep coming.
 It is usually pretty free from in- sects.
