team of the Trego County High
School has won back some of the
glory they lost in losing the first two
games they played this year and have
won games three and four. Game
number three was played on the home
ground last Friday afternoon be-
tween the team from Colby high
school and T. C. H. S. That game re-
suited in a score of thirteen to seven
in favor <of Trego- The seven points
made by the Colby team were secured
in the last five minutes of the game.
Number four was played at Morfand
Wednesday afternoon and the Trego
boys came home feeling good over the

favor. Here's hoping the Trego boys
will keep right on winning the rest OF
the season.

EIGHTEEN THOUSAND BALLOTS

When you go to the polls next Tues
day remember that the ballots were
printed at The World Office and that
they were all finished almost without
error having been made by the print
ers. The error will not appear on the,
ballots. The printers must make good
any error they make and turn nothing
but good ballots over to the county
You will notice that you are handed
three ballots-one general, one town
ship ballot and one amendment bal
lot. At the best the printers could do
it required eighteen thousand impress
sions to make these ballots as there
are eighteen thousands of them and
ali printed on both sides, but oss ing
to the size of the ballot and the shape
of the paper from which they were
cut, it was necessary for to make
about twenty-four thousand impress
sions. We turned out this work in
| one week besides keeping up the other
/ regular job work and getting The
World out in time besides. It kept
US busy every day and until about
| 10 o'clock each evening and the error
made required the reprinting of only
about two hundred ballots. The force
| is tickled all over to think the job is
| done By the way, be sure that you
go to the polls next Tuesday and help
use these ballots

afternoon.
This week being the close of the
fourth month the teachers of the
Kiln school have been very busy in
checking up the grades preparatory
to give out the monthly reports on
Friday.

girls on one side of the campus and
the boys on the other (This is to
keep the boys from getting hurt.)
Prof. Powell found a composition
in one of the lower grades which
he read to the high school students
and told them it was typical illus
tration of the kind they wrote some
five Or six years ago: The subject
was, "Our Old School House," and
the composition is as follows:
"Our ole school house was located
in Little oak grove, on the side of
a hill about a mile from Grandpa's
mouse. 1t wern't no purity place
like where our house is. The trees
vert big enough to have any swings
nor they wern't no flowers there
either. They use to be some but

world. One of them called, OF Ned,
would run you every time he saw
you. One morning | was out in the
woods hunting and he slipped up on
me and hutted me right where the
