Yes, Well Have A Band.

Another good foot forward to
the revival of a band in Mans
field! A call was issued for appli.
cants to meet at Reynolds and
Coday Dry goods store, Tuesday
night, and over twenty respond.
ed; and others have expressed
their desire to join since.
Mr.. J. B. Crouch has finally
arrived to take charge of the or.
ganization, and semi weekly re
hearsals will occur on Tuesday
and Friday nights. Optimism
regarding a band giving public
concert within a month or so
prevails. and every effort will be
bended toward the realization of
that hope. Of course, it is un'
derstood that it will take time to
weld over twenty people lntO an
harmonious musical whole de.
pending in no small degree up
ON how faithfully and how long
each member practices each day.
But, all members are in real
business mood about practicing;
so we may expect results in a
short time.
Election of officers resulted in
the following unanimous choice
President, W. G. Coday; Vice.
President, G. G. Freeman; Sec.

Issues Challenge to Locals

The National A. c. of Georgetown
now comes forward and says that
it would like to arrange games
with all fast mines in the 1915 year
old division. such as the Independent
Mfdgets, Warwicks, Orioles, Trinity
and so on.
The Nationals have one of the
speediest teams that can be had in
the 14-15-year-old division, as they
have won IL out of 13 games
played and they lost their first of
the year to Linworths Midgets, and
since then they have cleaned up
everything that came in sight of
their team. So now they want
another crack at the Linworths and
are sure that they can beat the
Midgets.
Five months ago F. and f. Dove,
r. Poore, ]. Cumberland. N Wool
bridge. ]. Cullinane, r. Shaw and a
few others met in J. Cumberland's
home and started talking about or
ganizing a team that would be able
to beat the very best in the 14-l5-
year-old division, and that meeting
turned out to be a very successful
| one at that. as they elected \. Poore
president, F. Dove vice president. J.
Cumberland secretary. and n. Wool
ridge treasurer Now that their
term is nearly up, the club hates to
see new officers in their places, as
they have served so well. This club
has continued to be among the best
and now they have many men and
fathers backing them up in their
play.

they come from So all teams wish

How to Make
Boomerang From
Stick of Wood

In a far away city. Jimmy Hos
kins. II years old. was in the
boomerang business. He made 'em
and sold 'em. A novelty store In
his neighborhood bought most Of
Jimmy's boomerangs at Z cents a
piece. They cost Jimmy about 4
cents each. counting in his time
and work.
II is not at all difficuit to make
your own boomersngs.
Get a piece Of hickory about
twelve inches long. four inches
wide and half inch thick. II
should be well-seasoned. Pour sew
eraI bucketfuIs of boiling water
over IL to scald it and make II
pliable. Place the wood on table
or bench. allowing about .one-half
the length to extend over the edge.
Then, holding the wood in place
with one hand, bear down upon II
with the other until there Is con-
siderable curve in the wood. To
hold this curve while the wood Is
drying. nail two temporary braces
on each side.
Saw the dried hickory lengthwise
into four pieces, each one inch
wide. With a very sharp knife
carve the sticks so that the bend
on the outside is shaped like the
cross section" given in the !llustra-
tion- The inside, or concave, OF
the stick should be left smooth and
fat Bring the outside curve to q
blunt end and rub it with sand
paper. Whittle the ends OF the
boomerang till they are smooth and
round. Make a series Of shallow
cuts in both ends for grips
