Enrolment Not COmpuIsOry

BY expelling five students who
refused to take the prescribed
course of military training, Ohio
State University authorities would
take the only steps possible under
/ the circumstances The students
/ knew before they ever enrolled at
State that one requirement was the
military course If they did r.
choose to accept this they ought
to have entered the instituti.n.
There are pleny of other major
versities where this is not a @
quirement, so the way remains op n
elsewhere for these youngsters to
obtain the higher education they
seek.
Objections to military training
are held, of course, by great many
people and there are whole sects
whose precepts are against the idea.
Obviously such people ought to
shun contacts which expose them to
training. 1t is easy enough to un-
derstand why this objection exists
if it actually means risking life in
warfare, but when in times of peace
the course must be realized as
highly beneficial to physical and
mental health, objections are not
reasonable
Ohio State University students
who have undergone military train
ing are better for it. They have
learned measure of discipline
which has, in turn, fitted them to
discipline and lead others; it has
helped their bodies to be stronger
and healthier. 1t does not neces-
sarily imply that those who have
finished the course are ready for
war Indeed, actual war training
is much more advanced and far
more rigorous than anything which
students must undergo at the uni
versity
So the five who may be expelled
may turn to some institution which
does not require that they under
go such training. They have lear
ed their will is not enough to
change rules of the states great
college of learning. In shunn ng
the training course they have been
made aware of much stronger
power to discipline They cannot
be said to have gained anything
On the other hand they may lose
the opportunity to graduate from a
great institution.-O. S. Journal.

DO YOU BELIEVE in WITCHEsc
lRy C. B. Raw


When we hear something tha
sounds impossible, we often declar,
on the spot that we don't believe il
anything of that kind. Then W,
back up and study the matter ovel
and decide that if we had to analyzs
and prove everything, we wouldn'
believe enough to make "dOdger.'
Then we come up cautiously anC
face the thing. Such an event has
led us to push our pencil at this
time.
We state at the very beginning
that what we shall write is true
OF course the names we shall use
are fictitious. Should we give the
names as we know them, you might
back up and shy bit, but later you
would come where we are. Here
we go.
Granny Stone liveu In the hill
country which at that time was in
the middle stage That is, the folks
from that country, or fore-parents,
had to a great extent come from
the other states. While they did
not have everything in common,
anyone in peed had only to let 1T
be known, and their wants were
supplied.
Granny Stone had only to bare
her feet and stand on the hackle,
to prove not only that she was
Granny Stone, but that she was a
witch. We neglected to state in the
beginning, SO we will tell you now,
that if you want to discuss this
matter, we will tell you where gran
ny is buried. We don't know wheth-
er she is still there or not-neith-
er do you. So that closes the argu-
ment Granny may have had sew
eral children, but only one enters
into our story. This son was born
under the right star and got the
birthright This son whom we will
call Joe, was good shot with the
rife. Shooting at the mark was
very popular in the neighborhood at
that time. One day the boys had
met at the Stone place to try their
skill. The patch or mark was nail
ed to large tree. The boys shot
round after round, then granny
came to the door and said, "Boys,
you have shot enough" when one
of them replied, 1--WE will quit after
bit" To tbs granny said, ''You
won't hit anyth; and quickly
grabbing the corner of her apron
she tied knot in it, The boys con-
tinued to shoot for while, but
they never even hit the tree.
Joe was just like the other boys
in the neighborhood, so far as looks
were concerned. He took his place
in all the work and play in the

COURT DEFERS
DECISION ON
BAER MATTER

SACRAMENTO. March %. U.P)-
Tired of supporting a retinue of
managers, lawyers and trainers,
Max Adelbert Baer plans to quit
throwing his money away and start
saving, he confided today after ar
guments were completed in a series
of suits and counter-suits involv-
ing the contract of j. Ham Lori
mer
"I've been a meal ticket to these
fellows,' Baer said, indicating his
several associates. "But from now
on I'm going to salt it away. Pm
going to have some money when I
retire as heavyweight champion. -
Evidence, as finally accepted by
Judge Glenn, showed that Baer
crossed $95,700 between December
l9, 1890, when he signed a con-
tract with Lorimer, and September
26, 1882, when he filed notice he
would not continue with the con-
tract. His most important fight
during that period was with Pao-
limo Uzcudun in Reno. Expenses
totaled $32,500 and the net income
$50, 900 during the two years.
The court hearing was called to
determine whether Lorimer's con-
tract was void and whether any
money was owed him. Judge Glenn
took the matter under advisement.
Baer's heaviest period of income
occurred during the past year and
one half. 1t was estimated he had

PACHO Gets
Bic CHANCE

Bobby Pacho, Imperial Valleys
favorite fighter, goes into the big
gest match of his career next Tues
day night at the Olympic club, Los
Angeles, when he tackles Barney
Ross, lightweight and junior welter-
weight champion of the world, with
the latter title at stake.
Despite theh Ugh standing of Ross,
the former local boy has plenty Of
backing, based principally on a
comparison of the fights both men
have had with frankie Kick and
Kid Moro. Pacho easily defeated the
former and knocked out the latter
in two heats. Klick recently drew
with Ross and Moro stayed for 10
rounds with the champion last week
in San Francisco.
Some local fans who "soured' on
Bobby somewhat, when he lost a
one sided fight to Young Peter
Jackson here several weeks ago have
never been UolG the reason for his
poor showing on that occasion. He
fought here on Friday night, after
three days of training and had been
in bed several weeks prior to that.
The fight should never have been
staged nor would it have except that
Pacho feared Imperial Valley would
think he was afraid of Jackson and
that he would be "Welshing' if the
fight was called off. He insisted that
it go on. He is to be credited with
three corking line lights with Jack
son, a boxer whom Ross and Tony
Canzoneri refuse to meet because he
is too tough.

right. Then Jones stepped UP to his
ball.
To the horror of the gallery which
was for him to man, Jones chose
the hard way and, using a No. 4
spoon, hit boldly for the pin. For the
pin mind you. A pin that seemed
miles away, and located at the .eX-
treme far end of a slender, treach-
erouS green. Up, up, rose the ball.
Down, down, down it came, to dig
in eight feet from the pin. A roar
of applause from 1000 onlookers
that shook the countryside was his.
Jones smiled and you couldn't help
but know that inside he was laugh
ing, and aching to get to the green
and stab in home for an eagle; then
he putted. 1t was miserable effort,
the ball rolling wide and almost as
far away as before he tapped it. His
face fell, and when he barely got it
down for a birdie, when an eagle
was in his grasp, something broke
in Jones. Then, for the first time.
he realized that maybe, after all, he
wasn't invincible.
Then came the eleventh and the
complete breakdown; as on the
fourth he started bravely, with a
drive that whistled down the mid
die. When he walked up to the ball
Jones saw that luck had left him q
dismal, hanging lie. Again he came
through with a breath-taking sec
ond shot. This time it was a brasSie
that bit into green only seven feet
away.
Once again an eagle was his for
the taking, and again he failed. His
first putt was worse than you or l
would have made Bobby is only 80,
but he looked 10 years more than
that as he sighted for his second
putt. And he came within an inch
of missing it. He picked up the ball
and walked over to Runyan.
You know, Paul. he said, in a
voice of great concern, you know,

HIGH SCHOOL
BENEFITS BY
CNA PROGRAM

With the completion of work be-
ing done by CWA workers, resume
of the improvements brought to
Central Union high school by the
appropriation shows that time and
labor has been utilized in numer-
Gus repairs and additions to build
ingS and grounds. AS a result of
these Improvements buildings and
equipment at Central are in excel
lent condition. Expenditures for
this work have been almost $4,000
for labor and $2,100 for material,
making a total of about $4,000
spent on necessary innovations.
The last two improvements un-
dertaken were the construction of
a ramada and the landscaping of
the school grounds.
Constructed by CWA Workmen,
this ramada will provide shade,
under which students may enjoy
their lunches or spend their free
periods. The structure is 20 feet
by 60 feet and provides space for
120 students at a time.
Landscaping plans have been car
ried out under the direction of F.
A. Bode, landscape gardener from
San Diego, whose previous eXper-
fence includes the planning and ex-
ecuting of plans for the grounds at
Aqua Caliente.
During the three months that
this program of improvement has
been carried on, the following re-
pairs have been made: thre tennis
courts have been cemented; the
cafeteria has been plaStered and
refinished; 10 claSSroomS and the
library have been repainted and re-
tinted; the lawns have been level
ed the hallway and stairs in the
old building have been repainted;
library bookShelves and tables have
been rebuilt; the home economics
room has been remodeled; a new
roof has been put on the manual
arts building; the roof on the science
building has been repaired; all ma
chinery in the shops, overhauled;
and 1015 plants and shrubs, planted
on the grounds.
In addition to these improve
ments, Mrs. Evalena Moore, girls
physical education instructor, has
had an assistant; and three other
girls have been employed for Ii
brary and clerical work.
At the Eastside high school, walks
have been built; grounds, leveled;
buildings. re-roofed; shrubs and
trees, planted; and machinery, ov-
erhauled.

The entire national sales organ

announced this notice cas- mat
ter of fairness to our dealers in
view of the company present in
ability to make prompt shipment
of orderS.'
Such a statement, coming from
