The High School Parent Teachers

the High School building. Miss Love-.

Dr. w. B. Summers contributed a
very fine exhibit of white Pecan
ducks and also one of white guinees
to the poultry department of the fair.
One way to increase the size of this
institution is for everybody to plan to
produce something worthy of showing
and then show it,.

by Frank E. Beatty. president of the
r. M. Kellogg Company, fruit grow
ers. The plant is to be known as
"Rockhill," in honor of it's breeder,

est ever paid for single strawberry
plant. The plant bears early in the
summer and begins again in the late
summer, bearing continuously until
frost. bt
I'VE are paying the price not with
the idea of making a profit. but as an
incentive to growers and breeders of
plants to develop new varieties" said
Mr.. Beatty, WHO is nationally known
expert on strawberry culture. The pur-
chaser said he believed the plant he
had purchased would revolutionize the

horses, mules, swine, sheep, goats
and poultry. Each picture measures

types of live stock raised in the Unit

by foreigners. The main purpose OF
the pictures, however, is to encour

UNIVERSITY WANTS STADIUM

Alumni and former students of the
University of Kentucky are launching
a campaign to build stadium on
Stoll Field. Lexington. with seating
capacity Of $4,000 persons, Plans for
the proposed undertaking are still in
the formative stage, but much inter-
est has been manifested in the propo-
sition by all persons approached on
the subject, it was said by the Lex
ington Leader Tuesday. 1t has been
estimated that a "U" shaped con-
crete and stone structure with seats
for $4,000 spectators can be built for
approximately $3.50 per seat. With
a football team of the quality that
Kentucky promises to have next year
and a few big games on the home
ground, the structure could be paid
for in one, or two seasons and there
after would make the athletic depart
ment self-supporting and enable the
university to take its rightful place
with the leading colleges and univer-
stiles of the south in the athletic line,
according to the hackers of the idea.

FoUNT FOUND BY PRISONERS
inmates of Jail At Winona Manage
To Obtain Liquor -.

Winona, June 27.-Desplte the
fact that Sunday night was a com
paratively dark night and the moon
failed to show its usual cool, calm
countenance, "moonshine," IN some
unexplained manner. Uttered
through the barred and grated
windows of the Winona city prison
and put Joy in the hearts of two
men held for intoxication.
The 'moonshine" was illuminat-
ing in one sense of the word. for
Tony Gostomczak and James Con-
den were both so illuminated yes
terday they were unable to appear
in court
Gostomczak was arrested Satur-
day morning for intoxication. Con-
den was arrested in the afternoon.
They were comparatively sober
Sunday-but Monday morning
they were under the weather.
Police advanced the theories that
either a bootlegger had conducted
his Illicit business by means of a
rubber tube passed through the
iron bars and gratings. or that a
bottle had been overlooked while
searching the men.
According to the one theory, the
bootlegger come into the alley on
the west side of the police station
He is believed to have passed a
rubber tube through the grating.
One end of the tube was in the
bottle and the prisoner sucked on
the other.
The prisoners refuse to tell how
they obtained the moonshine.

PARROT RoUTS LOVERS
Young Couple At Rochester Ar
Disturbed BY Unseen Bird

Young Couple At Rochester Are
Disturbed BY Unseen Bird
Rochester, June 27.-The myster-
ious and stray parrot which lower
ed the morale Of the Lampman
barnyard last Friday, has a rendez
vous in the caves of the Central
school house, where true to it's pre-
cocious and sensitive nature, it
throws belated Romeo and Juliet
couples into startled discomfort
and breaks UP the end of perfect
day.
The parrot, il is reported, belongs
to a young society gfrl in the city
and was considered quite pet un-
til it developed within its volatile
nature a liking for spasmodic and
adventurous wanderings.
Early last week the parrot, desert. :.
ing its luxurious home, started out
to see the world and picked out the
Central school as a hiding place
while it lived DR.. Jekyl and Mr..
Hyde life.
That very same evening a young
couple seated themselves on the
Central school house steps late at
night, and were engaged in pet
ting" and a general flow of baby
talk. Under the influence of the
moon, the young man had built a
nome for his girl, furnished it and
they were both sailing along as
those rosy clouds of the pre- matri-
mony state when they were brought
rudely down to earth by burst of
shrill, sarcastic laughter. The
young man started up, ready 10 de-
fend this taunting inte! ruption to
their land of dreams but gazing
about him could not discover the
source of the laughter. He had
seated himself once more when
another and louder burst Of laugh
ter DESTROYED their wooing. This was
followed by several laconic chuckles
as if the onlooker, whoever he was.
was enjoying himself immensely. A
search revealed nothing but empty
shadows, so Romeo and Juliet went
home to continue their wooing on
the front steps of her fathers porch.
Back under the ewes bright eyed
and bright plumaged parrot swung
To and fro, enjoying the first night
of his runaway escapade immensely.
Saturday evening after complet-
ing a tour of the city, polly returned
to her hiding place at the Central
schools grounds. Attempts to cap
ture her have been unsuccessful.
