Basket BALL
MANNING vs. EXTRA

The basketball game between the
Manning and Extra girls on Friday
evening was q hard fought battle
from beginning to end
Manning had a strong team. but the
Extra girls outplayed them at every
turn. Extra played a scientific game.
Mary Hensley was pronounced a
perfect forward, even by the oppos-
ing team. While the team work be-
tween Dorothy Delahoyde and Helen
Gault completely bewildered their op-
ponents. /.
The close guarding of Decima Ed
wards and Irma Basham provoked
the Manning girls to such an extent
that they gave vent to their anger by
strong language.
Delphine Hamlin was on to her job
and equal to whatever might. come
her way. She managed two clever
baskets from very difficult angles be.
sides several free throws. ~ ,rss
,isFhe Extra team showed good train
ing due to the efforts of Miss Har-
rison, who has had them in training
this season. W 81,

COMPARISON OF YEARS Ae,

COMPARISON OF YEARS AGO
T. H. Kennedy living west of Guth-
rie Center was caller at the Guth-
rian Office Monday and logged his
subscription ahead a year. Mr.. Ken
nedy happened to glance across the
street and saw the figures 1881 on
the old Motz Opera House building,
that were placed there the year it
was built and remarked about the
heavy SHOWS of the winters of 1880
and 1881. He said he came with his
parents to Audubon county in the
early spring of 1880 and remembered
the incident of his father buying a
supply of corn that spring from Mr..
Coleman, the grandfather of Mrs. F.
Leonard, of Bear Grove township. He
went with his father to get the corn
and in the same field Mr.. Coleman
was husking corn, blowing and plant
ing. 1t was such an unusual sight
that Mr.. Kennedy never forgot it.
Corn that spring sold for IL cents
per bushel, decided contrast to the
present price.-Guthrie Center Guth

German "Kultur" will no longer
have a place in the cirriculum of the
Omaha public schools. The three
high schools have eliminated it from
the course of study because OF

continue to be taught at Central

been stricken from the school pro-

will be any pupils next semester who
will wish to continue the study OF
German" said A. ]. Wedeking, head
of the teaching staff. Credits will
be given if the pupils wish to drop

General Mahon Removed
As Irish Military Chief

London, May 10-Lieutenant Cen
eral Sir Bryan Mahon, commander-in-
chief of the forces in Ireland, an
nounced publicly last night that he
was to leave Ireland. He said he did
not know who his successor
would be.
This confirms rumors current for
several days that important changes
in the military command in Ireland
are pending. The departure of Cen
eral Mahon, it is believed, will be re-
garded in Ireland as an indication
that the government has decided to
proceed boldly with Irish conscrip-
ton.
