Miss Eva Bryan and Mrs. Station
we're here for visit last week.
Thomas and sons have gone to
Holbrook to market their wool crop.
The hayseeds are preparing for a
big corn crop this season, that is if
old winter will let up so that plant
ing can be done.
The sheep are crowding one
another on the reserve; the grass is
so poor that the herders have busy
time hunting cuts.
The ARGUS is always welcomed
here, for it informs us of our neigh
bors' welfare and keeps us posted
on the worlds doings.
There is generally good chance
here for people hunting homes il
our sunny corner of the county. We
can promise them plenty of air and
pine gum.

The Editor.

A school boy is said to have pro-
dueed the following essay on the
editor: Newspapers are sheets of
paper on which stuff is printed.
The men look over the paper 10 seq
if their names isn't in it, and women
use it to put in shelves. l don't
know how newspaper men came into
the world. 1 don't think GOD
knows. Bible says nothing about
editors and 1 guess the editor is the
missing link them fellows talk
about. The first editor l ever heard
of was the man who wrote up the
flood. He has been here ever since.
Some editors belong to the church
and some try to raise whiskers. ALI
of them are liars, at least all that
l know, and | know only one.
Sometimes the paper dies, and then
he people feel glad, but some one
else starts it ap again. Editors never
went to school because they never
got licked. Our paper is mighty
poor one, but we take it SO ma can
use it on our pantry shelves Our
editor don't amount to much, but
paw said he had poor chance when
he was boy. He goes without
undercloihes in the winter; wears
no socks and has d wife to support
him. Paw hasn't paid his sabscrsip-

L,auid Air for Blasting.

Liquid air may be the blasting agent
of the future. A paper recently read
before the British Institution Of Min
ing Engineers by A. Larsen, described
some tests recently made in the Simp-
Lon tunnel with cartridges which con-
sisted of a wrapper filled with car
bonaceous material. and placed bodily
in liquid air until 1t was completely
saturated. The cartridges were kept
In the liquio, at the working face OF
the rock until thye were required for
use, when they were lifted out. quick
ly placed in the shot holes and deton-
ated with a small gun cotton primer
and detonator. 1t was found that. ow'
ing to the rapid evaporation, the useful
life of the cartridge was very short.
The cartridges. which were three inch
es in diamter by eight inches in length
had to be fired within Is minutes al
ter being taken out of the liquid air;
otherwise there was danger of mis-
fire. It was chiefly on this account
that the tests were discontinued. The
disruptive effects, however, were said
to be comparable to those OF dyna-
mite.

The Origin Of Baseball.

The origin OF Saseball-"our nation
al game''-is not definitely known, but
the first club organized to play 1t was
in New York, in 1S45. Singularly
enough, this club, like the one first
organized to promote rowing, was
called 1.-THE Knickerbocker club" At
ter 1851 other amateur baseball clubs
began to organize, including the At
lantic, Mutual, Union. etc. In 1857 a
convention of delegates from 16 clubs
in and around New York and Brooklyn
was held. About 10 years later, at the
annual convention of the National as
sociation, in 1866, 202 clubs from IT
states and the District of Columbia
were represented. The college baseball
associations were started about 1862
or 1863. Amateur baseball throughout
the Union was at it's height In the
years 1865, 1906 and 1867. Profession
al baseball was recognized in 1868, and
the first games were played in 1862
