HONOREC.

The selection oil William Hay
ward TO be secretary of the re-
publican national committee is
not only a recognition of the en-
ergetic work he has done as
chairman. but also compliment
to Nebraska in bringing one of
its native sons to the fore in the
arena of national politics.
Mr.. Hayward is a typical Ne
braskan. He has made his way
in politics by straightforward
dealing and without any special
pull outside of the friends he has
made through his service to the
party. He is characteristic of
the young man in politics.
The secretaryship of the re-
publican national committee is
a position second only in the
political armament to that OF
the NATIONAL craftsmanship itself.
1t is a position of confidential re-
lationship with the nationa a.
campaign movement and carries
with it great responsibilities as
we'll as important duties.
That Mr.. Hayward will meas
ure up to the demands OF his new
place and make good there as he
has done as head of the state or
ganization may be safely antici.

VICIOUS ~BLACkBIRDS.

Thousands of savage blaekbirds
infest the city, and in some of the
suburbs they are SO bold and vicious
that dogs are kept on the jump avoid
ing them, men on bicycles are some
times chased for blocks and pedes-
TRANS pecked on the heads if they
happen under trees where there are
nests. The birds usually fight in
pairs.
If a man with a very white hat
comes along they swoop down, beat
it with their wings and clam at it
with the rage Of wounded eagles
Frequently they aim their sharp
beaks at the victims eyes and he has
difficulty in defending himself. The
painful yelping of cornered CANNES
attracts hocks of the birds and then
the fur hies.-Los Angeles CORE

The Second Game

The ball game of Friday re-
suited in another defeat for our
boys, and It was an awful one,
too, IA to 4, but our boys are not
discouraged and contend that
Atchison cannot do it again.
The boys explain their defeat by
the fact that Heacock hurt his
arm in the practice before the
game, sp~raining it at the elbow
so badly that the pain was un-
bearable, and as Schmelzel had
a busted finger from the game OF
the day before, this left us with
only Prior and Craig to put in
the box, and they proved easy
prey for the visitors. The out.
come was SO disastrous, that the
boys became discouraged, hence
the result.
A two week practice is all
they ask, then they want another
game with the same team.

SOTHERN RETURNS TO RENO
Says Divorce Suit Is Private
Matter; Refuses to Discuss 1t
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


RENO, New, July 27.-Edward H.
Sothern returned to Reno this morning
and spent the day refusing to be inter-
viewed. All the afternoon his rooms
at the Riverside hotel were visited by
newspapermen. In the evening the de-
fendant in a secret divorce action was
permitted by his attorneys to say:
MY divorce is a private matter I
will not discuss it for the press. To-
night I leave for the east and 1 cannot
tell if I will ever return"
Sothern's sudden return to Reno is
believed to have been caused by the
publication of the discovery that Mrs.
Virginia Harmed Sothern will not have
to establish a legal residence of six
months in Nevada before getting a de-
cree of separation. Since no previous
residence is required before beginning
suit for divorce Mrs. Sothern may re-
main away from Nevada, coming here
only at the time of the hearing.
