Allowing Adamsville to score four
runs in the ninth inning, the team
lost the second game of the -season
by the score of 5-4 at Hancock Park,
Tuesday. -
The Badgers were leading 4-1 but
blew up and allowed the opponents to
score 4 runs in the last inning. White
pitched a good game, fanning 17 men
but his weakening and the coilapse
of the infield gave Adamsville the
game. Donnell and Roye pitched for
Adamsville. -'
Adpmsville made 4 hits to the Bad-
ger’s three but they were well scat-
tiered. Adamsville scored the 4 runs
in the last inning without a hit.
Another game -will probably be
played against them next week at
Adamsville. - s

New plans for distributing athletic
awards were discussed in assembly
Friday, May 1.
Principal Rowntree suggested a plan
that is now being used in Austin high
school and asked members of the fac-
ulty and student body to comment on
it. This plan was to give medals to
each student who lettered in any
phase of athletics, and add a bar for
each time they lettered. Points will
be given also, and a sweater award-
ed to any student who acquires 600
points.
Students were asked ,to think about
this plan, and be prepared to vote
on it soon.

Basebail season has returned and
all eyes are toward the National pas-
time which is supposed to be coming
back bigger and better than ever. A
group of boys have even organized
a baseball team in the high school.
These boys have been practicing for
three weeks' and are improving with,
each practice session under Coach
Bozarth.
Two games have been played with
out-of-town teams and a number
among themselves. They expect to
have a number before the school year
closes. ‘ ' i
Lampasas may try to.Jnclude this
sport in its curriculum next year. It
has been several years since baseball
has been played in the* high school.
The chief reason is that baseball does
not pay. Since so much interest has
been aroused and a number of boys
are playing maybe a team can be or-
ganized. The boys, will continue prac-
ticing all summer and should develop-
into a good team.

Governor Janies v. Allred receives an original drawing
a famous artist. ’Die illustration by Norman Price, en-
titled “Colonel William B. Travis at the Alamo, March 3,
1S36,” depicting a dramatic moment in last-man defense of
> the Alamo, is presented to Gov. Allred’ by G. S Robison
(right), Texas sales manager for General Foods. Portrayed
in the Price work are Colonel Travis’bardJjitten frontiers-
men “crossing the line” to certain death in preference to
the ignominy of surrender. This event is the first of a
series of 9 historical crises pictured by Price for the sponsors
of a $5,OOP prize contest, now running in Texas newspapers,
and dealing with Texas history. Giant reproductions of the
’ nine scenes, used as wall panels, will be viewed by visitors
' to the Mayflower Building at the Centennial Expositien in
Dallas.
The nbove is the title of the Texas
Frontier Centennial celebiation to be
held at Fort Worth July 1 to De-
cember 1.
A frontier village in exact replica
of frontier Fort Worth is being con-
structed. There is a fort inside of
which have been built log hnnsos tn
exhibit historical relics. Behtnrtthe
fort is a stockade, where a troop of
United States Cavalry will stay dur-
ing the celebration. Behind the stock-
ade is the Indian village, where sev-
eral hundred Indians from the Okla-
homa reservations will jive during
the fete.
Adjacent to the old fort is a fron-
tier village made up of saloons, dance
halls, railroad stations, churches, etc.
This will be inhabited by Texans in
pioneer costumes.—Texas Almanac.

It wasn’t the first time he has been

Dear Cupid:
What can I do to make myself more
attractive to a certain brunette boy?
Mournful Josie.
Don’t put up false attraction!
There are many young men who will
take you just as you are.
Not only ia it true that everything

Mr. Bozarth: "My wife claims she’d
like to see me grow a full beard.”
Mr. Terry: “Well, it’s my impres-
sion that a lot of women hate to kiss
a man with a beard.”
Mr. B.: “That’s my wife’s impres-
sion, too.”
Students of L. H. S. have been in-
vited to participate in the Centennial
celebration to be staged by l-ampasas
county on May 13. The students will
all carry Texas flags in the parade.
- An invitation to lead the parade
will be sent to Gov. James V. Allred.
'Letters are going out to all schools
in the county asking them to fur-
nish decorative vehicles, preferably
depicting scenes in the history of
Texas. ' Alsb, every school child in
the county will be asked to partici-
pate in a mass sing-song of Texas
songs.
It is hoped that at least 50 cowboys,
dressed in boots, spurs, chaps, som-
breros and ’kerchiefs will take part
in the parade.
That evening at the local theater,
Miss Lampasas will be selected. The
winner of this contest will be sent to
Fort Worth, with all expenses paid,
to participate for the prize of Texas
Swe'etheart No. 1.
Clark Gable, versatile star, Metro-
Goldwyn-Mayer pictures corporation,
will be the judge at the Fort Worth
show. Texas Sweetheart No. 1 will
be given a contract for at least six
months at a minimum salary of fifty
dollars a week by Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer. •
Thirty-six other Texas. beauties
will by given parts in the Frontier
Follies, which will be shown in Fort
Worth from Juqe until October. These
36 young ladies will be, giveh a min-
imum salary of $40 a week.
If the people of this county will
allow themselves to have just a bit
of Centennial spirit, this will un-
doubted be one of the biggest cele-
brations held in Central Texas dur-
ing the past decade. Our. advice to
every resident of Lampasas county
is:

A visitor once said of Texas: “Tex-
as occupies ai) the continent of North
America except the small part set
aside- for the United States, Mexico
and Canada. Texas owns all the land
north of the Rio Grande, the only
river iff* the world (with the possible
exception of the Trinity) navigable
for mud cats and pedestrians.
Texas is bounded on the north by .
twenty-five or thirty ' states, on the j
east by all the oceans in the world
except the .Atlantic, and on tne south
by the Gulf of South America, and
on the west by the Pacific Ocean and
the Milky Way.
Texas is so big that the people in
Brownsville call the Dallas people
Yankees.
“The chief occupation of the peo-
ple of Texas is to keep from making
all the money in the world. The
chief pursuit of the pepple was for-
merly Mexicans, but now it 1s land-
buyers, steer and crop records.

“Some State!”
Houston, May 4.—The Texas Pris-
on Board decided today to put into
immediate effect a segregation
for the approximately fl.000v im
_of the prison system. The program
was formulated by Frank Loveland,
director of the Texas prison classifi-
cation department.
Prison reform leaders-^Rmg~have
urged segregation as a means of pre-
venting first offenders from becoming
hardened criminals.
“I feel we are.making a long step
forward," said W. A. Paddoek, chair-
man of the hoard. “Of course, the
plan at first will be more or less ex-
perimental.”
Loveland’s plan is based on the
criminal record *T>f offenders, their
attitude* under confinement, their
mental and physical condition, and
their ages.
At the “head of the class” in the.se
segregated groups are the first offen- “
ders. Those from 17 to 25 years of
age will be placed at Harlem Farm,
Group No. 1. Those above 26 years
of age will go to Harlem Farm Camp
No. 2, and Central Farm, Camp No. 2.
Then come the “repeaters." These
are classified as corrigibles or semi-
corrigibles, those who show possibili-
tes for reform, and incorrigible*.
— The semicorrigibles*from I? to 25
will go to Eastham Farm, Camp No.
2. If their conduct wins the proper
recommendation, they may “gradu-
ate” to places jn the first offender
group. Semi-incorrigihles over 26 will
bo sent to Retrieve Farm, and they
may also “graduate” to the first of-
fender group.
All men classed as beyond refor-
mation but not regarded as vicious,
will go to Eastham Farm, Camp No.
1. By toeing the mark, it ia possible
to be promoted to Retrieve Faim for
further rehabilitation.
Incorrigible* classed as vicious, the
most dangerous prisoners-ln the en-
■(rfe'pnjUfi"ays1?in7"1vill be placed in
the south wing of Eastham Farm,
| Camp No. 1. They, too, may be pro-
i moted, but recommendations for them
will be hard to win.
Additional care will be taken in
segregating .the insane, the feeble-
' minded and those physically handi-
j capped, with an effort to assign them
. to tasks they can perform,.
Extreme care will be tak *n to se-
gregate drug addicts and homosex-
uals.
From the farms, prisoners of all
types will have the opportunity of
“graduating” to the state farm indus-
tiies, where they will receive craft
training and additional liberties. /

tered a filling station stole a radio

owner he left a complaining note:
