TWAS FAST BALL
AUBURN BEATS FALLS CITY IN
TEN INNINGS
1t Was a Battle of Pitchers From
Start to Finish--Score
z to O

a large crowd witnessed nine
innings of the fastest ball ever
played in Falls City last Wed
nesday afternoon. For nine in
nings neither Falls City or Au-
burn could score and from the
way the pitchers were working
and the teams playing it seemed
that darkness alone would end
the game. Kratzberg Of Auburn
pitched remarka bic ball, but
good as he was, Kelsey WAS bet
ter. Kelsey's class as pitcher
is seen when you consider that
he has pitched eighteen consec-
utive innings against Auburn
without permitting a score. He
shut them out at Stella and for
nine innings here, and that kind
of pitching is going some. Falls
City had splendid chance to
win the game in the fifth but
failed to put the man over by a
combination of poor hitting and
worse luck. Auburn's two scores
in the tenth were secured be-

BROKE EVEN AT STELLA
Captured The Auburn Game--Lost
The One with Highland

uG SEC WHIT EiiSiIiafII
Our boys went up to Stella
Thursday and Friday of last
week and defeated Auburn on
the first day in shut-out game
2 to O. All from here who wit
messed it, called it a "dingera
game. Kelsey and Poteet did
the battery act for Falls City.
On Friday Falls City met
Highland in a game popular for
the amount of errors. The score
was 6 to Z in the latter's favor.
1t is but justice to our boys to
say that several of them were
not in condition to play ball,
having been up the previous
night, riding the M. P. railroad
Coke on the road) after a ball
game the day before. Schmel-

M. Self, of Kansas City. Mo-, Has
Moved Here

For some time past M. Self
has been operating a store here,
The Great Western Sales Co, it
being branch of his Kansas
City Store. Mr.. Self has been
so we'll pleased with his busi-
ness here and likes the town so
well that he has this week moved
his family up here, where they
will make their future home.
Mr.. Self was at one time Il sue
cessful business man at Atchi-
son, having been engaged in
business there for eighteen years
prior to the time he moved to
Kansas City.
The excitement of the city
contrasted with our quiet little
place, and Falls City's prospects
for being a better town each
succeeding year has prompted
Mr.. Self to make this change.
Mr.. Self has loaded his store
with a nice stock of Clothing,
Shoes and Furnishings and he
says there is more to follow.
We welcome Mr.. Self to our
midst.-Adv.

FOR THE CHILDREN
A Picnic Trick.

The next time you are out on Il picnic
play this trick on your friends: Tell
them in advance. when the head of the
party is assigning each one his portion
to bring along. that you will bring the
oil and vinegar for the salad. When
you are all seated around the picnic
table produce bottle in which you
have mixed the oil and vinegar. This
will give rise to unfavorable comment.
for many prefer vinegar and no oil.
and they see visions of spoiled salad.
After the discussion has reached its
height quiet them by telling them you
can serve them with one or the other
articles or both together out Of the
same bottle. OF course they will doubt
your ability, but it is readily done thus:
To pour out the oil you tilt the open
bottle very gently, and it flows alone.
To get at the vinegar you recork it,
turn it upside down without shaking,
and, 10, the vinegar is at the mouth.
Uncork it partly, as you have seen the
druggists do. and it will flow in drib-
lets. just the way to regulate the out

A Queer Needle and Thread.

There is Il plant in Mexico that will
furnish needle and thread all ready
for use says the Chicago News. That
seems a queer thing to say. doesn't it?
The plant has large fleshy leaves, SIM
liar to those Of the cactus. Along the
edge of the leaf are set the prickles, or
needles. and to get one ready for sew
ing it is only necessary to push it back
ward into the leaf so as to loosen it
from the tough outside covering and
then pull it gently out. If the pulling
Is done carefully number of tibers
will stick to the needle, and by turning
the latter as it is drawn out the fibers
are twisted into a thread as long as
may be desired. The action Of the air
on the fibers toughens them, and it is
said that a thread of this kind will sus-
tain weight Of five pounds.

Or hoops in grand array?
VIII they wear bows like butterflies,
Just as they do today?
viii boys wear jackets short or tie
Their hair in cues? Just how
They'll really look I'd like to know
A hundred years from now.
What do you think the girls and boys
VIII eat in those far days?
VIII they be fed on breakfast foods
In many sorts of ways?
VIII all the good and tasty things
BE worse for them than rice?
VIII ice cream soda make them sick
And everything that's nice?
VIII children's books have picture!

Or just all reading be?
