Fowler is one OF those men who enjoy
the sound of their own voice and if
there we're not some rules governing

trouble with Speaker Cannon IS his
desire to absolutely control the action

personal power along these lines and
that IS what object to. Personally

North Dakota Farmer Sur.
prlsed to Discover Crop
Of New Variety

Bismarck, N. D.. Sept. 8. 8.-August
Westel hoven, q truck farmer living
near Mandan in Morton county,
thinks he has discovered vineless
potato plant Last spring he planted
ten acres to potatoes, using the same
seed he has been planting for number
of years.
One corner of the lot where the
tubers were planted was low, and on
account of an excessive amount OF
moisture this summer this part of the
lot was submerged part of the season.
There were no vines visible and Mr..
Westerhoven thought he was going to
lose what seed he had put in.
The other day he dug up some of the
hills and was surprised to find a
number of welI-developed potatoes in
each hill. There were less IN each hill
than in those where the vines had
made their appearance above the
ground, but 1t was fair yield.
While the vines did not show above
the ground all of the potatoes in each
hill were connected by small vines
running from one to the other and all
the tubers were connected, making it
practically one plant.
Westerh0ven does not know whether
he has started a new variety of potato
plant or not, but will save the seed
and plant it again the next year and
try to have the Same conditions as 10
moisture. II he is successful in max
ing good with the v1neless potato he
will have done much to do away with

S IA SURE FRUIT COUNIYICUBs DfffAT Staples
Win Last Game Of Season
BY the Score Of
z to 1

The final baseall game of the season
was played Sunday afternoon, at
Athletic park, when the Cubs, in 9
brilliant game, defeated the Staples
team by score of to l, the squeeze
play being used IN bringing in the
winning run.
1t was q fast game from start to
finish and was noteworthy for the
steadiness with which the two teams
played. PIoot and Berg were the
battery for the home team and
Montgomery and Stoll were the
battery for the visiting team. Both
pitchers did good twlrling for their
teams, but Ploof had the best of the
argument throughout, and although
at one stage of the game-the eighth
innlng-the visitors filled the bases on
him through couple of errors on
the home teams part and single,
with but one man out, he pitched
steady bail and the home boys retired
the side for him on a fly to Batters
and a ground ball to johnson, who
threw the runner out on first.
The Cubs scored the first run in the
second inning, when johnson con-
nected for a single, stole second, and
scored on the First baseman's error.
Staples was unable to score a run until
the sixth inning, when Klngen, who
with Stojl played in the Staples nne-
up, made two bases and reached
second base on Wild throw by the
second baseman, and scored the
visitors lone run, tlelng the score, on
Blanchett's single. After this neither
team scored although the locals came
near to scoring twice and the visitors
once. until the last halt of the ninth
inning, when Dledrich beat 1T out to
first, went second on pass ball, was
advanced to third on Richard 8
sacrifice hit, and with Lauerman
worked the squeeze play for the win
ming run.
Ploof struck out ten, passed two and
allowed four hits. Montgomery struck
out five, passed two and allowed,
four hits. No one stole on Berg,
whereas four bases were purloined on
the Staples battery.
The attendance was small, notwith.
standing tho excellence of the game,
ana the home team found it necessary
to dig in their pockets again to cover
the expenses.
