Bossier City Again Wins.

The four high schools, Plain Deal
City, and Red Land Graded School,
had their annual rally at Bossier City
on the 9Th and 7th.
Bossier City High School kept the
honors, scoring the greatest number
Of points in athletic and intellectual
events over her closest competitor,
iIaughton High School.
Bossier City again won the girls
basket ball cup and the school cup,
twice winning in succession, giving
her permanent ownership of these
cups.
The Bossier City Boys basket ball
team won the boys basket ball cup,
none having been offered last year.
Roger Wooley of Bossier City was
the senior star athlete, scoring 49,
points.
jim McCranie of Bossier City was
the junior star athlete, scoring 14a
p,oints with Kindred Anderson of
Bossier City a close second, with III
points.
Special mention should be made of
Bossier City's debate: Armament
Leads to Peace" Affirmative
Miss Clara Henry; negative-Miss
Ethel Dalrymple. In the opinion of
many, as well as the judges, these
were the best and most forceful ar
rumcnts ever presented by girls Of
seventeen years.
There were about 140 contestants
for the different events. There was
a great abundance of fine material
representing the above schools.
The entire rendition of parts
showed that much training had been
given for athletic as well as intel
'ectual events. It demonstrated be-
vond the shadow of doubt that Bos-
Ter Parish has in her boys and girls
of athletic and intellectual ability
and, with a little more training, she
could cope with any parish in the
state.
Immediately after the close of tbs
rally Principal C. C. Kennedy called
the people to the school auditorium
thanked the teachers, pupils and pat
rons for their loyal support in the
rally, then delivered the CUPS men.

Henry. of the girls basket ball team
and the boys basket ball cup to the
captain, Hoffman Fuller (our soldie'
boy) who having marched in will
the cups, stood beside his principa
while the delivery was made.
| This rally was worth hundreds Of
dollars to the schools of Bessie,
Parish. It gave training that pupils
get in no other way. It caused then
to work harder and to study more t

cially and did great and lasting goo'

Death G.. w. DaWleY.

Chandler Wheeler Dawley was
born in Yates County, New York, on
April 16, 1882, and passed from this
life on March 8, 1917, after several
weeks of suffering from Brights
disease, aged "a years, 10 months
and 81 days.
When a small child he moved with
his parents to Chautauqua County,
New York, where he grew to man
hood. He came West in 1856, sett-
ling in Winneshiek County, Iowa,
where he has always lived until about
ten years ago when he came to Cres-
co to spend his remaining days with
his son, Albertus e. Dawley, with
the exception of a short time in which
he made his home with his daughter,
Mrs. Ella l.. Elzea, in Blackwell, Ok
lahoma. He was one OF the rugged
pioneers of this section OF the state.
On May 10, 1860, he was united
in marriage with LoVenia p. Wanless
and to this union five children were
born. Those of the children VINO
survive to mourn the loss OF a kind
and affectionate father are Charles
I.. of Burr Oak, Iowa; Mrs. Ella l..
ElZea, of Wichita, Kansas: and Alber-
tus e., of Cresco. Two of the chill
dren, Clara NJ. and Edgar E., with
his wife, have preceded him TO the
Life Beyond.
He also leaves a grandson, Claude
NJ Elzea, of Mora, Mimi, who had
made his home with his grandpar-
ents for a number of years, and sew
eraI other grandchildren and many
friends to mourn his loss.
He was converted and united with
the M. E. church in an early day and
was ever a good, upright, Christian
man.
The funeral was held from the
home of his son, Albertus K. Dawley,
in Cresco on Monday morning,
March 18th, A. NJ. Vance, president
of the Usage Seminary, who held
services in the Baptist church last
Sunday, officiating, and he was bur
led by the side of his life companion
in the family lot in the cemetery at

DAIRY AND PRUNING
DEMONSTRATION.
Held Under The Auspices of the
NinneShiek County HOrti-
cultural Society.

As mentioned last week the dem
onstration to be conducted by Pro-
fessor's Ritchy and Crowley, which
takes place at the residence of
John Harter, 800 Pleasant Ave,
tomorrow, Thursday afternoon, will
be both instructive and interesting.
We can not learn too much along
these lines. We should know how
to care for our orchard and how to
handle our mich cows, so as to de-
rive the greatest benefits. The
dairy part of our farming is of such
Importance that it requires careful
study, the smallest details should be
magnified, so as to appear the most
important
In regard to our orchards these
men, whose life's study and work is
to learn by experience how we can
produce the same kind of fruits that
are shipped in, will at this meeting
explain in as thorough a manner as
possible, under the circumstances,
the why's and wherefore's of poor
and good fruit, poor and good crops,
and how and where to market. Here
is chance to learn all that is learn
ed at our experimental stations and
we should endeayor to be present.
The Experiment Station is main
tanned by the state for the benefit Of
its people, and here is an opportuni-
ty to acquire the knowledge that is
acquired there.
Several mich COWS will be on ex-
hibition, and the different points and
requirements of paying stock ex-
planned, and this every owner of
cows should know. Remember the
date and be sure to be present
