MADE NO SORT OF A HIT
Young Mans Christmas Present to
Girl Was, TO Say the Least,
Somewhat inappropriate.

A certain young man of Frankfort
did his Christmas shopping early this
year, proAtng from last years expe-
rience when, he says, he was prince
of the givers Of inappropriate Christ
mas presents.
Christmas time last year found him
In western army camp. He had
thought little Of Christmas until va
rlCus packages for him arrived.
Among these was present from Il
young woman, who lived in a southern
city. With only a few days left, and
n very limited field for shopping, he
began his Christmas buying,
Fortunately, the Indians were offer
ing sore pretty wares, and he did
some hurried buying Finally, with a
smile Of satisfaction and a sigh of
relief, he mailed his last parcel at the
post office.
His satisfaction soon changed to
CONSERVATION when suddenly he re-
membered that the young woman had
been forced TO have leg amputated
and, naturally, was very sensitive con
cernlng her misfortune.
He had sent her pair OF beaded

of the community for which they are
especially responsible.
During the winter of l920-21, so far
the school hot lunches have been the
most unqualified success With real
fund on which to draw for necessary
expensesand with the cooperation Of
the people OF the community, the two
teachers have been able to add to the
chlldrens lunch, brought from home,
one good, substantial hot dish every
day sometimes soup, sometimes baked
beans, or creamed potatoes, or hot
cocoa.
The members OF the Battenkill club
have been struck by the advantage It
gave them to have an organization al
ready Tor whatever desirable action
came up, even when II was something
they had not planned for. An instance
of this occurred during the autumn of
1920. The County Red Cross Nurse

UPSTATE SCHOOLS
IN BASEBALL LEAGUE
Discuss Circuit to Include All Schools
In Vermont--FootbalI Also
Talked Over.

Burlington, Jan,28-A baseball
league OF four high schools OF north
ern Vermont has been formed by Prin
pals J. E, Cc burn Of Burlington high
/ Lyman c. Hunt of spauldlng high Of
Barre II. A. Swaf6e'd OF Montpelier
high, and H. Il Dickinson of st. AL
bans high.
Other high schools In this section OF
the state Il is expected W jon this
league later and letters asking their
membership will be sent them. The
principals think that by the following
baseball season Vermont high schools
viii be formed n cne state league,
divided in sections of north and south,
and east and west, if need be. They
hope to have the high schools Of the
state included in some division OF the
league so that a recurrence Of the
(wrang'e over the Just Claimant to a
champ onship in any sport such as oc.
CURED IN football this fall VIII not be
\ poss. bic.
The principals agreed that a silver
cup should be purchased and set as a
reward to the high school winning the
league championship for two or three
years They could not agree upon
this matter. some preferrng that a
school be requ red to win the cham.
p.onship three and others two years.
However, Principal Colburn received
orders to purchase a cup which will
be paid for by the ath etic associa.
tons of the four schools.
| Foalball came in for some contro-
versy and before the talk was com
pleted. the prime pals agreed that the
schedules hereafter should be arrang.
ed similar to college schedules each
team playing another but once year,
instead of two games, as in the past,
but that two-year contracts be made.
In this manner each high school
would be enabled to meet a larger
number cf teams during the short foot
ball season. And the results would
be much more satisfactory in that a
II gh school would have an opportuni.
ty to meet an opponent from pract.-
Cally every section o. .ne state,
II nine games were scheduled, no
team would be opposed more than
once; n other words. nine different
opponents would be met in one sea
son. instead of restricted number
of three. four or five Five different
opponents have been a large number
in the past and nine in the present
system would be only a ia + schedule.
This plan. like the baseball league
has cnly been agreed upon by the prin
cipa's Of the four schools OF the
north. but they expect others will
ioin the ranks to make 1t statewide
and effective.
