A Clean Sweeper Nots

Those who have been supporting
baseball will continue to support
baseball-under just one condition.
They must be shown.
And they must be shown thor
oughly-shown only through a clean
sweep at the top and a vital change
all along the line.
The crooks. of course. are through
forever. II one of them was ever
brought back the game would be
finished unless the baseball colony
at large is the most feeble-minded
collection of humans that ever lived.
But castingN out the crooks and
thieves only will not be enough.
Those handling the destinies of
baseball have failed and have failed
utterly. If they have done their
best. their best is not enough to
protect or save a game that is much
closer to the brink than most of the
club owners believe it is. Outside
of the proven crooks there have
been others who have been willing
enough to sign up any shady char
acters and who in other ways have
done nothing but bring discredit on
the game. These must go, too, if
baseball is to live.
The Other Side.
Possibly nothing at all will be
done except to throw out the crooks
and call it a days work.
If this happens We wouldn't give
90 cents for any franchise in Amer
lea. For we can't believe under
such conditions that newspapers
will continue printing professional
baseball news and that fans will
continue to pay out regular money
to support magnates who have no
vision beyond the box office.
If nothing is done except to throw
out the crooks-if no further move
is made to give the game a thor
ough cleaning and to bring it back
upon a new foundation-and both
the press and the fans still con-
tinue their support. there can be

VALUE THE "AGGIE"
 SCHOOL AT s36I, 1928
Comptroller Completes Survey of the Four District Institutions
 in the State.

Little Rock, June 1.-The value of
 the proporey of the Third Agricultural School at Magnolia is $3s1 1928, accord ing to the report of T. B. Kitchens, as- sistant comptroller, who has just con-
 pleted the first audit of the school re- cords,
 This completes the survey of the four district agricultural schools, all of which were found to be in satisfac- tory conditions, Van B. Sims, comp troler, said yesterday. Some slight
 changes will be necessary in the sys-
 tenn used by all the schools to secure uniformity of records, but those
 which had been kept, so far, have been
 complete enough to reflect all finan- cial transactions, he said.
 Value of the 400 ceres of the Mag nolia school farm is S40,000, the report says, while the administration build ings and power houses are valued at $250,0OO
 Expenditures of the school during tie past two years have been $83, ,937,- 13, or $41 ,96S.57 year, of which $97,- 072,75 was spent for teachers salaries, more than $7,0O0 for students labor, and $10,26S.94 for live stock and equipment.
 The cash fund showed loss of S748.91 during the two years The to- tai receipts from the farm and live stock products were more than $900e In addition there was received from the state treasury $1,700.2S, which had been deposited in the treasury during the 1915-17 period, in compliance with |;he appropriation act, and which could not be withdrawn as the legislatures Of 1915 and 1917 failed to make ap- propriations. The money came origi- nally from the sale of farm products live stock, etc., and when withdrawn by authority granted by the 1910 legis- iature it was used in the purchase of fertilizer and seed, which it had been necessary to purchase on credit dur ing the tie-up of the funds.
 The cash funds show an overhaul of $637.64 All buildings are reported
 in good condition. The purchase of ad-
 ditional pure bred live stock is advised,

 Relaxed in his chair, Fendrick spoke with rather elaborate indolence.
 "What's your evidence, Bucky7 What have you got that ties me to the W. & s. robbery?"
 "Why, that hat play, Cass. You let on you had shot Cullison's hat off his head while he was making his get away. Come to find out you had his hat in your possession all the time."
 Does that prove I did 1t myselfT
 Looks funny you happened to be right there while the robbery was talk ing place and that ysu had Luck's hat with you"

 "Confidentially what7"
 "The explanation. You won't use 1t against mel"
 Mot If you weren't in the hold up."
 T wasn't. This Is the way 1t hap pened: You know Cullison was go- ing to prove up on that Del Gro claim on Thursday. He had me beat. I couldn't see any way out but to eat crow and offer compromise. It was up to me to hunt Luck up and see what he would do. His har gave me an excuse to call. So started out and came round the corner of San Mateo street just in time 10 see the robber pull out. Honest. the fellow did shape up little like Luck. Right then l got the darned fool notion of mixing him up in 1t. threw his hat down and shot a hole in it, then un- carrying the hat in my hand. That's all there was to it."
 Pretty low-down trick, wasn't 1t, to play on an innocent manY
 "He was figuring to do me up. | don't say it was exactly on the square, but was sore at him clear through. I wanted to get him into trouble"
 Bucky reflected, looking at the long ash on his cigar. "The man that made the raid of the w. & s. shaped up like Luck, you say?"
 "In general way"
 The ranger looked quietly at Fen drick. "Who was the man, Cass?'
 q thought I told you"
 "You did. But you lied. It was a moonlight night. And there's an arc light at that corner. By your own story, the fellow took his mask off as he swung to his horse. You saw his face just as distinctly as see yours now"
 "No, I reckon not" Fendrick grinned
 Meaning you won't tell!'

That's not how l put it, Bucky. You're the one that says recognized him. Come 10 think of i1 Pm not sure the fellow didn't wear his mask till he was out of sight"
 Il am. The mask was found just outside the office where the man dropped it before he got into the sad dle."
 "So?"

 T didn't say she, Cass."
 "No, said it. Your witness is Mrs. WylIe"
 Maybe, then, you can guess the criminal, too. I'll ask you a question. Can you tell me where can find pa- roled convict named Blackwell?" ?"
 Fendrick shook his head. Don't know the gentleman. A friend of yOurs?'
 The officer rose, not one whit less amiable. "I didn't expect you to tell me. That's all right. I'll find him. But in the meantime I'll have to lock you up till this thing is settled"
 From his inside coat pocket. Fen drick drew sealed envelope, wrote the date across the front, and handed it to O'Connor.
 "Keep this. Bucky. and remember that l gave it to you. Put 1t in a safe place, but don't open the envelope till l give the word. Understand?
 What's back of it?"
 ''It isn't intended that you should know yet. I'm protecting myself. That's all."

The best "dope" we can get is
that the Munson company is strictly
first class in every particular. They
have beautiful wardrobes, play a
good class of plays and have met with
the approval of theater goers where
ever they have shown. .,

that the different companies work

There has been much activity at
the we'll of the Seward County Oil

being shut down for a couple Of
months the test is active, and as soon
as the hole is cleaned out drilling
will start.
The rigging of the big rotary out
fit at the Traders Bunting No. is
well under way. The rig builders
have finished their work and the
placing of the machinery is now oc-
copying the time of the crews. This
test may be delayed in starting ow-

will be used for fuel under the boilers
at the Bunting well.

this organization is that the students
and faculty of the H. S. shall be or
ganized to make it possible for
everyone to contribute his best to
the high school life. 1t is to get
the school to work together in one
body instead of four, having a unity
instead of class spirit holds US down.
The school problems will be brought
up, and discussed and solved in these
meetings. This council will meet at
least once month, and more often
if necessary. Most of the larger
high schools of-the present day have
something like this. 1t is easier to
get somewhere by this means. This
organization is new to the L. H. s..
but we are going to boost it, and we
are going to make this high school
live up to it's motto, "Let Liberal
Lead"
Harken! All We grieved of L. H. s.

We begin to see that if we expect
pleasant results we must work.
Come out and see US whip Dodge
City Friday. This game promises to
be a fast, hard and interesting one

the faculty will be invited.
A short program was given in

or better than the Pratt game.
Every student has to be bothered
with tests this week.
Many new chairs have arrived to
make more seating capacity for some
of the larger classes.
The game with Pratt was a good
one even if we did lose. Pratt has
run up against the best team that it
will play this season. The score was
20 to 7.
Notice to Juniors-Pay your 95c
for the party Friday evening. See
Hank.
The faculty did kindness to
both the student body and James

were several things that were new
to most of us.
Two Of Riley's poems are set to
music, Miss Henry read one entitled
"a Life's Lesson" and Miss Lance
sang the other which is Little Or

bones found in the ashes of a straw
stack a short distance south of
Palmer, in Washington county, have
