Play Ball!

The ball game played Sunday between
Sidney (Petersons) and Elbert Juniors
was an interesting contest, being hugely
enjoyed by those who were fortunate
enough to witness it. When the home
boys we're at bat, every base and field
position was held down by Peterson
big Petersons, little Petersons--all the
way from 13 to 30; the Elbert boys made
the diamond resemble a merry go round
at county fair and caused the sparks
to fly from home plate. Whiting, better
known as the Omaha old timer or the
drummer boy of Shiloh" held down
the box for the visitors two short innings,
and it was expected he would be their
zone best bet" but the way the home
team landed on his spit balls and rail
fenced curves and swatted the pig skin
to the yellow grass was caution, and
made the early spring songsters take to
the tall pines and notion to 90 south.
Good nature prevailed throughout; the
boys of both mines are to be commended
for the absence Of rowdyism and wrang-
ling. The result OF the mix up was lS TO
in favor of the Elbert team. More fun
is promised in future.

The Boulder News well saws:

The Boulder News well says:
Party lines are not drawn so
closely as they were some years
ago. Formerly a nomination by
the party having the majority
meant election, no matter how
unfit the candidate or by what
means nominated. This is no
longer true. A nomination does
not necessarily mean an election.
no matter how large the normal
party majority. New issues have
arisen which have tendency to
break down old party lines, and
on many subjects the two great
parties are in practical agree
ment. This has caused large
and increasing body of indepen-
dent voters who look more to the
character of the candidates, to
the manner of securing their
nomination and their surround
ings and hackers than they do to
party names. 1t is no longer
safe for any party to depend on
brute strength and numbers.
Men have got to be nominated in
sympathy with modern ideas,
their character must be such as
will stand the searchlight of pub
licity, and their nomination must
be fairly made, MOTIVE by trick
cry or wire working, or they
stand in danger of having to
face the opposition of this large
independent element, which
means defeat"

Just at this time the country
needs a new religion that will
make a man pay his debt.
Shouting doesn't settle old ac-
counts with God and man. We
bounce right into fellow and
put him out of church if he goes
to a ball or theatre, but we never
say word to a pious chap who
never pays his debts. People
who do not pay their debts are
doing the church more harm than
dancers for there are more OF
them in the church. Reader,
are we getting close to you (!
Then lay down your paper and
go pay up and read on with ease.
And don't stop paying because
the statute of limitation ex-
cuses the open account you made
for meat and bread. You must
pay it in fire and birthstone; God
knows no such excuse as home
stead exemption" When you

paying your debts you can stop

zone Touch of Nature Makes the
Whole World Him."

When rooster finds big fat worm,
he calls all the hens in the farm yard to
come and share it. A similar trait of
human nature is to be observed when a
man discovers something exceptionally
good-he wants all his friends and neigh
bors to share the benefits of his discov-
cry. This is the touch of nature that
makes the whole world kin. This ex-
plains why people who have been cured
by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy write
letters to the manufacturers for publica
ton, that others similarly ailing may
also use it and obtain relief. Behind
