A. D. Bechtel, who has been con
ducting the Beymer hotel, cancelled
his lease the first of the month and
quit the hotel business.. 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. .
