Things were quite exciting in many
school districts last week, Tuesday,
when the annual reports were read.
The scribe knows quite a lot about
many Of the districts, but for the sake
Of his health will keep still.
Jim Peafce tells rs that there is
only one sure crop in this country and
that is ice We don't agree with him.
for last winters ice crop was rather
slim, but so far we have had q good
crop of potato hugs and leaf hoppers
We will have to thank ali the new
Corners from Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska
and others from the corn belt for
bringing this good c0rn=gr0Wing
weather. If they stay with us wei
will be able to raise good corn crop
every year.
The county nurse said that the
rural school children were underfed
and that the hogs got better food than
the children. Maybe so, but we have
seen a lot of skinny looking hogs, and
one district paid about $4,000 for milk.
AS we cannot see any hogs in the
school yard we came TO the CONCLUSION
that the children get the niik.
Robert Nickoley met with serious
accident last week, Tuesday, when
making an attempt to stop runaway
team which was driven by his son,
Otto. Mr.. Nickoley caught one Of the
horses and in some unknown manner
slipped and fell between the team,
and was trampled under their feet.
He sustained three broken rihs and
minor bruises. He was ettend-
ed by DR., 0cnnnor, and is recovering
slowly.
A good game of baseball was played
at Sheldon last Sunday when Sheldon
PLAYED against Hannibal and trimmed
The Hannibal team with score OF y
TO s. The Sheldon team is full OF pep
and speed and can handle their part
to the dot The visitors scored eight
runs in the fifth inning and then the
shovel broke for the balls would not
strike the bat Hamblin, OF Lady
smith. pitched for Sheldon and showed
the Hannibal players what the rain
bow looked like. Harold Brown IS
getting the catcher's part down pat
and is Just like the detective, who
/
could find things before they were lost
/ So does Harold know what kind OF a
ball it will he before it's thrown. He
hit one Of the Hannibal players square

first base and we think the poor fel-
low had to see chiropractor Monday
to have his spine adjusted. Walter
H.
when the ball flies high it can't help
but get into the mitt and stay there.
George Mahal, the blacksmith, hkes
to watch figures so they let him keep
score. Lawrence Cox is the manager,
marshal and yell master. No wonder
Sheldon won. all the Sheldon fans put
the pep into the boys by making big
noise. Let's watch next week and see
what Sheldon can do. With apologies
