It meant but a few miles. Recent

H. S. BASEBALL TO
OPEN APRIL 70
Local School Nine To
Have Evansville As
Seasons First Opponents

Tune-up practices for the high
school baseballers are in line this
week, Coach Gene Harvey said, If
the crew is to be ready for its op-
ening Of the new District % league
next week Friday, April 10Th, here.
High winds, flying sand, and a
rain-drenched diamond were only a
few Of the checks in the way Of
Harvey's baseball machinery as he
swung his crew into line this week.
First opponent Of a round robin
schedule, involving four teams, is
with Evansville in Sank Centre next
week Friday
His tentative plans, announced
early in the practice week, includ-
ed the use of Soltau and Hanson
as moundmen; Ethun as catcher.
In the infield Rydholm, Pangburn,
Deziel, Larson, Conkey, Rasmussen
loom as prospects. Rivette, Mis-
chke, Fish, Bellinger, Walker are
outfield possibilities. Most Of these
men, Harvey said, earned letters on
the strength that last year was the
first year Of baseball in the school
for some time. But on them he pins
hopes of building q better than a
middling club. He issued the warn
ing that no places are cinched by
lettermen. "Any newcomer that
can produce will get his chance"
he said.
Briefly Harvey sized up his situa-
ton thus: Improvement Of the de-
fensive ability was the marked up
turn in last years performance.
Whether or not the pitching per-
torrance and the batting Of the
club, the big sticks Of the offensive,
can fill the needed UP swing will
tell the tale Of Sank Centres pro-
gress in the league, Harvey said.
The local schedule is as follows:
April 29-Evansville, here.
May g. Glenwood, here.
May 6-Alexandria, there.
May 10-Brandon, there.

planning the reason for the pro-

listed in the directory 1t cannot be
reassigned, under ordinary condi-
lions, even though the original sub
scriber has left the CITY," he said.
Thus there are always some num-
bers, unused, that must remain so
because reassignment would be con-
fusing with the listing found in the
directory.
During the current year the local

Jesus does not leave the rich man
without hope. for he goes on to say
that what is impossible for men
and even for the rich man himself is
entirely possible with God. He is
able so to move on the heart of
even a rich man that he will yield
himself in humble obedience to
Christ and will put God and his
cause above self and his posses

Two things need emphasis in this
connection. First, let those of US

III. The Last Before the First
(vv. 28-3D.
The ways of God are confusing
and humbling to the flesh. The way
up in spiritual things is to go
down mark 9:35). Those who are
first in the eyes of men are often
last in Gods sight. Others whom
men count as least stand highest in
Gods sight because they are faith
full and true to Him. The world looks
at the missionary of the cross and
says, ''He has sacrificed every
thing" and knows nothing of the
'hundredfold' reward even in this
life, "and in the world to come, eter-
nal life' (v. 3O).

Each worker in covered employ.
ment should have an account num-
ber whether he is the only en-
ployee, or is one of hundred.
Workers in small establishments
such as barber shops, bootblack
parlors, bakeries, drug, grocery or
general merchandise stores, serv-
ice stations, as we'll as employees
of doctors, dentists, lawyers and
of other professional people, are
included.
Each Wage-earner must have an
account number in order that his
Social Security account may not
be confused with any other. EN-
ployers must know the account
number of each and every person
on their pay rolls, because they
must give those numbers when
they make their wage reports to
the Government. The amount of
each employees wages is credited
to the Social Security account

are posted on this ledger.
The total amount of wages re-
ceived by an employee on jobs
covered by the Social Security Act
from the last day of 1886 until he
is 65 years old, will be used in cal
culating the amount of his old-age
insurance payments when such

GOLD
BY Hubert |. Shifler, Jr.

Men have risked their lives for
gold
For petty bars of metal, cold;
Gold cannot buy the best in life,
Wealth too often harbors strife
Men love that molten mellow
store
That they amass, then call for
more;
Why cannot man be more con-
tent
Not spend his life mere fortune
bent?
The filthy lucre that men gain
Has not the beauty of the rain;
1t cannot make the flowers grow,
But only seeds of sorrow SOW.
There are better things than gold
to please,
Love can ambitions thirst ap-
pease;
The love of fellow-man of friends,
The gold of love brings better
ends.
