First Game of Season,

The Union City Training School
was successful in the first baseball
game of the season last Friday, Apr
8, when they defeated Dyersburg
High School, doubling the score, 16
to s. The strong but friendly rival
ry that exists between the schools
was shown again by the two schools
Dyersburg played hard game, and
especially was the playing of Lester,
Moss and May recognized The
Training Schools record during the
entire game was almost errorless,
mentioning particularly the playing
of Fry, Cousins, Holt and the pitch
ing of Sam Corum. The home run
by Roland was very noticeable. The
catching of Captain Talley was up
to expectation.
We appreciate the attendance and
cooperation of the people at this
game. We want you to attend all our
games.

Those who wish to become members

in this particular part of Kansas
must do so by becoming members Of
the chapter at Ellis. During the last
few months large number of Masons
in this vicinity have taken the degrees
ised to come to Wakeeney at some
date and put on the first two de-
grees in the Wakeeney Masonic lodge
room. That promise was fulfilled
Wednesday night when about twenty
five members came up from Ellis and
joined forces with members here and
conferred the Mark and Past degrees
upon fourteen candidates from this
vicinity The larger number of these
also young in the first three degrees
of Masonry but who are anxious to
learn more of the higher degrees or
the order The work was put on by
a trained team and was very impress
sive and especially pleasing to the
young men who received the degrees
At 1880 o'clock most delicious
| chicken supper was served, plates be-
| ing laid for sixty-five. The Masons
who came as visitors were very gen
erous in their praise of the occasion

ing done in Trego county Commit
tee have been appointed at Ogallah,
Wakeeney and Collyer to handle the
soliciting but no person need wait TO
be asked before contributing. The
contributions can be left at either
of the four banks in Trego county and
from there it will be sent to the coun-
ty headquarters. 1t was the original
plan to have all parts of the county
thoroughly organized for the drive,
but Trego county had no representa-
tive at the state meeting and was late
before representative called here
and still later before any of the sup
plies and information could be re-
ceived. It is necessary to push the
work as rapidly as possible and also
necessary that it be on the order of a
free-wi1 Offering. For that reason do
not watt to be solicited but go to your
bank and plank down any sum you de-
sire to give and do it now. The Sal
vation Army is worthy and the cause
it represents is worthy. Don't forget
Do it now.
