The Bonner Merchants opened the baseball season here Sunday by defeating the South Side All-Stars by the score of 8 to 6. The locals came up from behind and batted out a victory in the fifth inning. Benson hurled for the home boys and held the visitors to three hits. Errors and his wildness accounted for three of the runs against him. The locals showed a strong hitting team as shown by the way they overcame the four run lead of the visitors and with more practice in fielding should prove to be a hard team to beat.

Batteries- Cosgrove and Jones; Benson and Hayes and Kirby. Score: All Stars ......2 1 0 01 1 0-6 Bonner ......0 0 1 3 0 0 LEANS 12-FATS 6. Friday afternoon Manager Jackson's Leans cleaned up on Manager DeWeese's Fats by the score of 6 to 12. The Fats not being satisfied with the drubbing they received have challenged the Leans to another game Friday evening at 6 o'clock. We understand the Fats intend importing some outside talent and trying to even up the score.

SCHOOL BONDS CARRY BY A VOTE OF 235 TO 82-BONNER TO HAVE NEW HIGH SCHOOL. Tuesday's election passed off quietly but Bonner Springs school district registered approval of the plan for a new high school building and for the improvement of Lincoln school. Although our country is at war and no telling how long it will last and not knowing to what extent the resources of our country will be taxed, nevertheless the people approved of the plan to go ahead and improve our school system, realizing that our high high school students no doubt will be compelled to assume a great many of the burdens of this war and to meet these conditions the people were willing to vote bonds to help our school system to better fit them for life's work. These same students that will receive the benefits of the improved conditions of our schools will help pay for them before the bonds are retired. The heavy taxpayer who voted for these bonds should be especially commended for his patriotism and willingness to "dig up" to improve the school conditions.

From a business man's standpoint the high school will be a good investment. The non-resident taxpayers will pay approximately four-sevenths of the total cost of the improvements. The resident taxpayers of Bonner Springs will pay less than two-fifths of the cost of the new building. It will induce new people to locate here and the business interests of Bonner Springs will be benefitted. A large part of this money will be spent for labor and kept in our immediate community.

Every ward and voting district was carried for the bonds, showing the popular demand for a new building. The country district as has always been the case, voted for the bonds unanimously, 58 to 3, notwithstanding the fact that the outside district pays considerably over half of the taxes for the district. The vote by districts: Ward For Against First ward Second ward ..28.... .21 Third ward .80. Outside 3 Total 235 82 BIRTH ANNUONCEMENT.
