of the nation. 1t was an eight years
crowded with glorious and lasting VIC
tories of peace, such victories as
swords never can win.
By mere exchange of notes be-
tween the United States and England
those two jealous neighbors pledged
themselves to alsarm forever on the
great lakes. BY n common sense busi-

whole new world was set aside under
The Monroe doctrine ms un immense
preserve of international peace. By
give-and-tnke in the Missouri compro-
mise In 1870, North and South were
bound together anew, though with
false ties.

Leon High School Loses Their First
Ball Game.

Last Friday afternoon Leon High
School base ball team met Garden
Grove in their first game of the sea-
son. The pastime continued for
eleven exciting innings. In this
round a wicked throw got past
Icons second baseman and the cen
terfielder and allowed a Garden
Grove runner to score the winning
run from second base. The score
was IL to II.
Both teams played ragged game
although the contest was a very in
teresting and pleasant ore to wit
ness. Only two of the Leon team
have had experience in high school
base ball. We shall expect them to
do much better.
The school board at Garden Grove
has purchased ground adjoining the
high school building. This has
been nicely graded and they. have
one of the finest athletic fields in
this pav of the state.
