Boy Scout Has Leg
Broken While Skiing

While skiing with party of Boy
Scouts In the hills near Monte Vista
last Friday afternoon. Gene Lague
was thrown in such a manner that
his left leg was broken close to the
hip joint. He was brought to the
local hospital by Geo. Boutwell,,
scout master, and the fracture was
adjusted by DR.. Smith. At this
time the boy is doing nicely but for
time it was thought that it would
be necessary to wire the broken ends
of the bone together as so much
distress was suffered. An X-ray
picture revealed that the fracture
had been restored in almost perfect
opposition.
The scout troop We're provided
with only a few pairs OF skis and
the boys took turn in taking the
slide. Gene had gone down several
times and when it came his turn
again one OF his skis struck a little
depression in the snow causing him
to be thrown forward and twisted
to one side. The accident was very
unfortunate as Gene will be confin-
ed to the hospital for several weeks.

SATlHFACTORY RESULTS IN
LOCAL NUTRITION WORK

The weighing OF the Monte Vista
grammar school grades in septem-
Der revealed that only 1t per cent
OF these children were Of normal
weight: I percent were over weight:
~ percent were borderiine, between
normal and percent below; and 81
percent were more than z perceu,
below weight.
A united effort has been made
on the part OF the community to
overcome this condition. Manv
children have been taking milk and
crackers twice 4 day at school. :.
nearly all are choosing . better bal.
asced ration At home. and more

be improved.
The results Of the past four mon.

K. Fl. Silk company ball team man. agement finds itself in a similar situa- ton. The H. K. H. has a nine of local players, not an out-of-t0wu man on 1t, all playing for love of the game and drawing no money, but receipts from paid admissions had on the occasion of several games been insufficient to pay the travelling expenses of the visiting team and other small but nee essary costs of maintaining a ball team.
 The ball game of last Saturday at the high school field Is an illustration The contest was an excellent one, go- ing twelve innings until the visiting team, the Nelson X. (. of Webster finally won out by one run. A crowd of about 300 witnessed the game, and a contribution of twenty-five cents was asked.
 Expenses Not Made
 Yet because the high school field is open. and they were able to get onto the grounds free, only sixty-eight of the 300 spectators were sports enough to pay their quarter. Thus the money received was about seven teen dollars, while expenses amounted to twenty-three dollars. and the man. agement had to dig into the treasury, almost empty now, for the remain ing six dollars.
 The high school field is a central ball ground, and has a fairly good intield and outfield, but because 1t is so open. and near the main highway, School street, it would be impossible Co collect an admission fee from every person coming on A crowd of 300 for such a ball game as last Satur- days is a small enough one, con sidering the class of ball which the F. k- q. team puts over. but if only siXty-eight of this number are good enough sports to pay their share, Put nam certainly IS a poor baseball city.
 Players Draw No Pay Since the local players do not draw regular pay the expenses are small. and fl fans pay their quarters they will De easily met and perhaps a small sum left in the treasury. In the past the failure of the managers to get rich can often times be traced to the outlay for imported talent. There Is no such expense in connection with the present mill team.
 Manager Charles F Franklin states ithat the fans will have one more
