NEW SCHOOL BUILDIN6
PLANS ARK UNDER WAY TO HAVE
FOUNDATION       COMPLETED
WHEN   SCHOOL   IS  OUT
The first steps In the erection of ths
new school building were started on
Monday morning, with two teams and
several men on the job. The excavating Is being done by William Dangle of Amherst and under tbe supervision of Mr. Church, overseer of the
construction company.
The excavating will take only a
short time, aa the ground upon which
the new building will be erected has a
gradual slope from east to west. Thla
fact will necessitate only a slight excavation on the west end of the plot
The hauling of the stone for tha
foundation started yesterday and as
soon as the excavation Is done, tha
foundation will be started.
From all indications and estimates
given by Supt. Powers, the foundation
will be laid before school is out in
May. The remodeling of the west
wall of the present building will not
start until that time, although tho
walls on the addition may be started
In case that the excavation la finished
soon enough to warrant such steps

A new orchestra has recently1 been
organised In Amherst, the members of
which are practically the same as
those that comprised Abe's Novelties.
The services of Theodore Metzger, a
saxapbone player of Lorain, have been
secured. The other members of tbe
orchestra are: Norman Baus, Nelson
Ludwig, Adalbert Hauser and William
Bodmann.
The members went to Lorain yesterday afternoon, where they joined tbe
Musicians' Union of Lorain.
The name of the orchestra has not
as yet bsen decided but will be done
at their next meeting.
half, the score being 19-9. The Neu
meister brothers, Monger snd Einwachter each put the ball through the
hoop for counters in this period, while
Hearn, Wiseman and 'Bruce accounted
for tbe nine points msde by the
Alumni.
In the third quarter both teams bat
tied on even terms, neither team mak
ing any headway. At tbe beginning
of tbe last quarter the Alumni came In
strong with two field goals, but their
rally only lasted for a short time, when
the high lads caged two field goals,
making the score stand 26-16. With
only four minutes to play, a foul waa
called on Hearn, which caused a rebuke from the crowd. The crowd remained In an uproar'when L. Neumeister went to the foul line to shoot the
free throw. An additional foul was
called on this account, which received
the same applause from the crowd.
The noise went on in this manner until four fouls were called, which caused
the crowd to quiet down. No protest
was made by Capt. Hearn of the Alumni. At this point two of the Alumni
players left the floor. An effort was
made to get them to come back but
It was of no avail. Hearn, Wiseman
and It. Baumhardt proved themselves
real sports by finishing the game with
three men against Ave. L. Neumeister made tbe four free throws count,
but the high school team will only
consider an official score from the
time that both teams had five men on
the floor, the score being 26-16 at that
time.
It is a question as to'whother the
referee had the right lo call tbe additional three fouls on tbe Alumni
when the cheering for both teams was
eqnual. It is also a question as to
whether It was the Alumni crowd
which prevented L. Neumeister from
shooting tbe foul or whether It was
>the high school crowd that was making the noise.
At any rate, Coach Durllng decided
that the official score should be taken
from the points scored by both teaics
previous to the foul called on Hearn
With only four minutes of play. I* is
a -fact that the players on neither
team were to blame and a sportsmanlike feeling still exists between tbe
two teams
Vat tue benetlt of those wh > would
like o settle the question of whether
any partiality was shown to either
team, the fouls called during the 36
minutes were even, each team making 18 fouls.

SPRAY NOW TO PROTEST JUT TREES
The season Is now at hand when by
properly spraying, the health and vigor of all average fruit trees may   be
much Improved.    In order to control
the various Insects and diseases that
attack the more common fruits, they
should be sprayed any time from now
until the growth sppears with a solution Of lime sulphur     This spray mixture la made by using one gallon of
the   commercial    liquid    llrae-sulphur
and  seven parts of the water, or it
may be made by using fifteen pounds
of powdered lime-sulphur to fifty gallons water.   For smsll quantities, use
proportionate amounts of either  the
liquid or dry lime sulphur.   Tbe spray
which should be applied now Is known
as the  Dormant spray and    controls
mainly the scale Insects which    are
causing considerable losses to all orchard that are neglected.   This spray
should be applied when the trees are
dry and when the temperature ranges
from 60 degrees Fahrenheit or warmer.   Best results may be had by spraying from both sides of the trees with
the wind.'   This spray may be applied
without damage to the apple,    pear,
cherry, peach, plum, as well as bush
fruits.    It should not,    however,    be
applied  to the grape,    as    Bordeaux
4-6-50 should  be* used.      This    spray
should be applied to the grape about
ten days before the bloom opens and
takes care of tbe  black rot, anthac-
nose, mildew.   Ordinarily from two to
five gallons of spray material are required for properly spraying a    tree
fifteen feet in height with equal spread
of top.   For a tree twenty-five to thirty feet In height with an equal spread
of top. ten to fifteen gallons are   re
quired.
If you are Interested in keeping your
orchard productive, prolonging the
Ills of the trees, don't fall to apply
the Dormant spray, in the very near
future.
If you will watch these columns,
further Information will appear for
later sprays.
