Mrs. Beymer and Miss Altha , Leach took charge Wednesday morning and we under stand will conduct It In the future. Up to the present time 85,000 sacks of wheat and 2,100 sacks of barley have been received by the Kerr, Glff ord Co. at this place this season. At the flouring mill 8,000 sacks of wheat and 5,000 sacks of barley have been received. This brings the total re ceipts to 93,000 sacks, or 217,000 bushels, of wheat and 7,100 sacks, or 3,550 tons, of barley marketed at this station. There is between 8,000 and 10,000 sacks of wheat yet to be mar keted and considerable barley Is yet in the hands of the producer. We be lieve this to be a pretty good showing for a town the size of Lexington. SCHOOL NOTES Hallowe'en has passed and work is going on as usual. Examinations are being held in the rooms this week. . Mrs. Graham was a visitor on Mon day. ' Some of the pupils have been out of school oh account of sickness but most of them have reentered. ; The boys wish to organize a foot ball team but their "parents in some cases object. A few pupils have been slightly hurt and that has given the boys a set back. The school not Wishing o be held altogether responsi ble for 1 such mishaps has requested that if parents are billing for their childrta fb'piay footbill, they 'send to (he ' Principal vritten ' permission for th pupil to play. The Principal leaves this matter entirely In the) hands of the parents and vhat they decide will be fotloved ts closely a possible, but he is In favor of football and vould be glad if parents gave their permission. There Is only one objection to football That Is the chance of getting hurt. There are. many things In Its favor. It teaches self control. Your Prin cipal's best lessons at self control were learned on the football field. Few ex ercises are bettar for developing the body than football. There are many critical moments In a football game that If a person acts intellegently and quickly will result in favor of his side. Participation In the game teaches him to so act. One of the greatest if not the most important good is that It gives the boy something healthful to do and think about,' where If he were not so engaged temptations might be set him and things much worse than a sprained ankle or arm might be the result; , The question often takes this form: Would you rather your boy run the chances of a few slight sprains and bruises on the football field or would you rather have him hanging a- round some street corner looking for something to busy himself at? Yotr Principal has- heard preachers, who thoroughly understood the game, up holc it from the pulpit. The Presi dent of the U. S. is a football enthusi ast. However we do not all agree con cerning it and as has been said before the matter is left to the parents to de cide whether their boy plays 'or not. The Prlncipsl knows that many wi'l .disagree with him, but that is natural, for it would 1)3 an odd condition of af fairs if all thought the same. .
