TOM DUSTIN ADVANCED
Is Now Foreman Of the Maxwell
Tribune and Iowa Odd Fellow

When the Journal was still in it's
swaddling clothes, little white
headed urchin was installed into
the mysteries of "devilship." He
wasn't "type-high" and needed
considerable "underlaying" to
bring him up to "standard gauge"
By standing upright on a high
office stool he could, by tip-toeing,
fairly reach the "cap case"
But hand in hand with the in
fant Journal, he grew in height,
breadth and friendship of all who
knew him. His apprenticeship
consisted of four years under the
eagle eye of the best all round me-
chanic, journalist, business man it
ever was our pleasure to meet,-the
late g. w. Guernsey.
After his employers death and
the Journal changing hands, he
accepted position at Hampton
where he remained for several
years with credit to himself and
profit to his employer. The first of
thie month he removed to Maxwell
to assume the duties of foreman of
two papers. The Journal is glad.

Extra 0---Manning S

Monday afternoon Extra and
Manning played ball at the Ath-
letic Park with the result of the
above score. Yes, Extra was de-
feated but she took her defeat
gracefully and caused Manning to
work for her victory which cannot
be said of several teams with
which they have played recently.
Extra had few chances to score
during the game but those chances
gradually evolved into the shape
of goose eggs.
Reese, Exira's new pitcher, dis
played remarkably good form and
a cool head. During the game,
McCarl at ehort, made sensa-
tional pickup" and throw to first
which made the crowd "sit up and
take notice" We heard several
remark that Extra played beyond
their expectations for 80 early in
the season. One noticeable thing
about the game was the clean play
ing of both sides and the absence
of "ragging," Come again Man
