pha Lvnn to the New Hope
girls 4-H club in their last
meeting at the school house.
Miss Lynn then explained
that it is cheaper to buy the
necessary material to build a
clothes closet than it is to do
without one. even for the
renter, for in addition to the
fading, dust and getting out
of shape of garments hung on
nails, mice and rats often ruin
expensive clothes.
"In most cases most expen-
sive of material for a clothes
closet can l>e avoided by using
scrap lumber and boxes," said
Miss Lynn.
Fourteen club girls, nine
boys and Mr. Fore were pres-

FIRST BASEBALL GAME
OF SEASON
Friday afternoon the Mes-
quite baseball team, coached
by Mr. Caudle and Mr. Gross,
scored an impressive 6-3 vic-
tory over the Lancaster High
School team. Joe Anderson
pitched a tight game, bearing
down in the pinches and
keeping the hits well scat-
tered In the eighth inning
the home team scored five
runs. The first three men up
got on base and then Ander-
son hit a ball that was labeled
for a four-bagger. Three runs
came in, but Joe was called
out for failing to touch sec
ond base. Ray Lewis fielded
well at shortstop, while the
entire team played well de-
fensively and also showed
strength at bat. Friday's
game proved that Mesquite
will be a dangerous contender
for the baseball title.
The main discussion was
concerning the public speak-
ing, debating and opening
and closing ceremonies for
contests. The date set for this
meeting was May 12. This
district was urged by Mr.
Varnell fcrotn North Texas
Agriculture College to do
their best. He explained that
other districts from Texas
usually produced a winner
and our chapters could also
Jo this.
After the closing of the
meeting it is thought that
every boy attending the meet-
ing felt that he must do
everything possible to help, if
not his own chapter, this dis-
trict to go farthr in these
events than it ever has be-
fore.

HOLIDAY FRIDAY
Friday, for the first time,
the Mesquite schools were
given an Easter holiday. The
Dallas schools are always dis-
missed for Thursday, Friday
and Monday. Perhaps the Mes-
quite schools will begin the
practice of giving Easter holt-
days. We certainly hope so.
But, whether they do or no*,
we really did appreciate the
holiday!

"High life placed high in

closed and the. cracks stuffed
with paper, will kill moths by
evaporating," said Miss Alpha
Lynn, assistant county home
demonstration agent, to the
Pleasant Mound club girls in
their meeting at the school
house March 27, 1934. Miss
Lynn explained that evapo-
rated high life is heavier than
air and will settle downward
and for this reason should be
placed at the top of th«*
clothes closet.
Doris Cruse was a visitor
at the club. Hope Anderson

ness of Carl Niendorff in get-
ting around the bases, caused
Mr. Niendorff later, in the
dressing room, to explain to
me that he was only being
slow so as to give the other
boys a chance to make the
team.
He went on to say, "When
I played for the Yanks, I
was known for my speed in
getting around the diamond,
after hitting one of my many
homeruns. Why, my speed
was so terrific," he said, "that
I was at first base before the
fans heard the bat hit the
ball. "But." continued the
mighty Niendorff, "a funny
thing always happens when I
whiz past the second base-
tman. He usually says some-
thing to me which makes me
very mad, and I slap the
third baseman in the catcher's
mouth."
