The decline of the crossroads ham,
let and it's half dozen homes clustered
about the general store, is not to be
denied. 1t is due to more than one
reason. First, the rural population
has been declining during the past
two decades, and with the advent of
the automobile and good roads the
farmer can get to the nearest sizea-
BILE town to do his shopping without
taking more ofNhis time as it required
to drive to his neighboring hamlet in
the early days. And the modern road
makes the trip pleasure instead of
an unpleasant undertaking as was the
case in the old days, especially in in
clement weather.

PLAYERS TIMBER UP

4 It is still February, but grounding
or no grounding, it is going to take a
lot of rough handling Il the baseball
bug at White Bluffs is to be kept
wrapped up in his winter clothing
much longer. In response to call
about twenty-five prospective candi-
dates for a place on the team here
this year were out at the high school
grounds last Sunday afternoon for
practise. 1t is still too early in the
spring to get any definite lines on the
players but the practise Sunday show
ed some likely looking prospects, es-
pecially among high school boys, and
with the older heads available the
prospects are good for pretty fair
club.
AT meeting the latter part Of last
week, Charles Kingman was elected
captain, H. ]. Upton, treasurer and
Harry Foltz manager. u9,
In checking up the uniforms, it was
found that several were missing and
those on hand not in a very good
state of repair. 1t will probably be
necessary, therefore, to provide new
ones. In order to raise funds for this
purpose, the players and fans are
planning to put on a dance or two,
or some other form of entertainment,
in the near future.

FLUE STOP ACTS AS RADIO

While helping with the janitor
work at the grade school one morn
ing this week, Russell Blair heard a
peculiar humming sound and after
searching the building he finally To-
Gated it in the room that had beer
used as a kitchen. BY means of a
step ladder he found the flue stop in
chimney hole was operating as a
radio receiving set There was not
much volume but Russell said that
by listening closely he could detect
the words Of the announcer of some
broadcasting station and, occasion
ally, hear musical notes. BY tapping
the tin flue stop with his fingers,
Russell said, the reception would stop
but by repeating that operation it
would begin again. There apparently
is lot to learn yet about the radio.

LOSES SOCKS AND SHIRTS

Detecting the smell of smoke about
8 o'clock Monday evening, H. ]. Tip
ton and Russell Miller, who live in
the rooms upstairs in the Robbins
building, investigated and found the
smoke coming from DR.. E. F. New
tons office on the ground floor of
the same building When the office
was opened by F. A. English and Mr..
Upton, armed with pass-key and a
fire extinguisher, (while Mr.. Miller
had gone for DIR. Newton) they found
the smoke coming from DR.. Newton's
hand bag, lying on the floor and fill
ed with his wearing apparels. The
bag and it's contents were carried
out and dumped into the street and
the smouldering blaze extinguished
without any damage ercept to the
bag and clothing. What started the
blaze is not known. DR.. Newton says
he is at loss to account for it as
he had left the office several hours
earlier. Had it not been discovered
when it was, it might have resulted in
serious fire.
