On Friday afternoon an interesting
game of basket ball was witnessed
on the Caledonia High School cam
pus, played by the Caledonia High
School VS.. Vernon High School boys
The boys put up a nice clean game
but the Vernon High School boys won
the game by every fair respect While
the c. H. S. boys did some fine play
ing, and we are sure it wasn't their
fault because we did not win the
game. One side always has to get
beat and it didn't make our boys feel
than the V. II. S. boys would have
felt. We wish to thank the Vernon
boys for the nice manner in which
they played the game and won. Every
one seemed to be in a good humor,
and our boys will soon get over the
defeat, and hope to win several more
games during the future session of
school.

MILLPORT HAPPENINGS

Well. Christmas is over, and every
thing has QUOTED down. People are
getting back on their jobs, and here
as well as elsewhere quite few have
no permanent work yet. Unfortunate
ly for our little town there is no
public work going on except saw
mills. gins and grist mills, and there
is greater supply Of hands than
there is a demand. Everybody talk
hard times and scarcity Of money. but
so many have their cribs fun Of corn
and other farm produets-meat, mo-
lasses and potatoes put away; with
lots Of good country butter and milk
We surely won't suffer. ! wish every
body could quit grumbling and look on
the bright side. There Is never a
cloud but there is silver lining, and
our financial condition Is 50 far sup

are glad they welcome the rcopening Of the schools
The Jest is all wrong Nine out OF every ten boys

They have enjoyed their vacation, but have
enough OF it, They want the schools to reopen and
will return TO their studies and TO their school

Worth Record.
Time honored customs and time -honored tests
are Just about as much of tune to the present
day as the methods OF carrying on the business OF
the world two thousand years ago. Times have
changed and the people have changed. 1t is not
such a hum drum task to go to school now as It
was many years ago, and the average American
boy and girl is ready to get back to their school
work as there is fascination in school work now
rather than drudgery. The improved methods OF
teaching and the many features OF school-day ath.
letics etc have attractions that were not Offered
in the days of long ago, where the Iime-Honored
things originated. The pupil enters school full OF
energy after a few weeks vacation, and this energy
is bostered up throughout the season by the many
stirring contests and revalry between classes
grades and associations that make school work
more a pleasure than something to be dreaded

FITTING PUNISHMENT TO CRIME

Here is a case where wise Judge made the
punishment fit the crime. A man in a Massachu-
setts town arrested on charge OF underteed-
ing and neglecting to care for his horse. The
guilt was undisputed and the facts fragrant that
the court could have sent him to Jail for month.
But the Judge reasoned that this extreme pun
ishment would do more harm than good, for the
man had family dependent on his work. He
wished to make the man understand he must care
for the horse properly. and among other things
provide clean stall for the animal the evidence
showing the stall in which it had been kept to be
filthy.
So the sentence of the court that the man
sleep two nights in the horses stall The Judge
reasoned that this would insure that the stall would
be cleaned and also that it would bring such ridi-
Guile on the man that he would not wish ito repeat
the offense.
II is not clear where the Judge expected the
horse to sleep while the occupying its
stall but being in the time, probably the
horse content to stay on the outside tor two
nights and indulge in quiet horse laugh
Probably the owner did not intend to be un-
kind Being poor he was unable to feed the horse
as it should have been fed Working hard, he was
likely very tired when reaching home at night and
put off cleaning up the stall until more conven-
lent time.

He learned that he must care for the animal that
helped him make living for the family. and that
the animal was entitled to a share OF that living.
Sleeping in the stall should make him appreciate
the comfort of clean quarters. Surely the pun
shment was made to fit the crime-Fort Worth
Record.
II is often the case that the punishment pre-
scrbed is not all fitting to the crime. and some
times the punishment has a tendency to make the
victim worse rather than better If judges would
use a little more practical in melting out pun

minimum punishment but there should be latitude
enough between the two for jury judge to tit
the punishment to the crime according to the con
ditions under which the offense is committed. We
venture the fellow cited above very forcably
impressed with the fact that he had been causing
this poor animal much suffering, the effects OF

fender had been sent to jail maybe for the one
hundredth time in his life
