NOTES 4

The Giants recently appeared to be
way off their feed. They contributed
a couple of errors to their box score
each day.
With Hal Chase out of the game.
because of a sprained ankle, Jack
Knight covered the first sack for the
Highlanders. In a recent double bill,
Jack fielded everything that came his
way faultlessly and contributed two
bits in the first game. i., =. ..

fallen down with the stick this year,
and Larry figured rest would do him

The Cubs led the National league in
club fielding with percentage Of
1868. Philadelphia was next, one point
behind, and the Pirates were in third
place.
Larry Doyle is not the. sensational

pected him to be. He Is falling away,

Heine Zimmerman gained 16 points
In his batting average during one
week and his mark was 1916. Many
fans wonder how the Cubs can afford
to keep the German on the bench at
the clip he is batting.

"Wee-ah" is not a mere catchword
in the baseball vocabulary of Manager
Hugh Jennings. "Wee-ah" is pregnant
with meaning. Popular usage has
made 1t much Of joke, and yet 1t is
used by Jennings in spirit far from
that of levity.
When Jennings first used the now
famous battecry It was In the little,
white-washed Enclosure used for ball
park away down in Macon, Ga. Jen-
nings had Just Joined the team. The
Tigers were fighting and Quarreling.
People said Jennings task was hope
less. But before leaving the training
camp in August he had welded them
together into q scoring machine that
has since won two pennants. And he
did 1t by the force Of his own person
ality. They were drawn to him.
looked up to him, and forgot their
petty disputes.
When they did good piece Of work
he was always ready with q slap on
the back and a CHEEKY, favorab1t COM
ment It was always:
That's the way-ah!"
BY the time the team reached Ma
con Jennings had pounded this e1-
preston down to the one stirring
shriek-"Wee-ah!"
That's the way" was not explosive
enough to suit his fighting nature. He
wanted action, and action quickly.
Any three-sy1lable yell was too tame
for him. And the players understood
the yell Just as though he had spoken
English.
"Wee-ah" it stands to-day, and will
stand. It is the keynote Of the sue
cess of a man great In his chosen pro-
fession There are great authors,
great statesmen, great inventors,
great soldiers. Jennings glory rests
in baseball. But it is simply because,
as boy, lifting his thoughts from the
slate pile where he worked In the
Pennsylvania coal mines. he turned
his energy into one certain channel.
His methods are worth studying.
If the business man, the worker,
who for a. few hours Of recreation goes
to the ball park. would forget the
game awhile, forget the batting av-
erages OF .Ty Cobb and Hans Wagner
and all other vain pursuits and make
q personal study of Jennings and hie
work, he would go away benefited, re-
freshed, to tackle the worries and
problems OF another day. {,
When a run is needed in the ninth
inning, watch "Hughie." "Matty's"
ON third leading of. Cobb is at bat.
The pitcher winds up. Cobb lurching
forwards, chops at the ball-and
misses. There comes the cheering
welcome cry of 'Wee-ah!" given as
only Jennings can give it.
One strike on Cobb. but it was not
his fault. He swung as he should
swing. He did his best. And the cry
goes I'D that sends the blood covrsing
through his veins and drives from his
mind worry because Of his failure.
With one strike against him the
pitcher winds up. Cobb lurches for
ward again, then draws back. It was
a ball and be would take no chances.
Again he hears that cry before he
hears the yell Of the umpire's voice.
It has a ring Of confidence and get
there" spirit to it, and he knows with"
out thinking that he has done the
right thing. He goes back to the plate
cooler and more determined than
ever.
"You can do 1t, Ty-get that run
int"
There is a cry. The stands rock
with the roaring. dancing. momentari-
ly mad spectators. The ball has torn
short. low and true over second.
Matty is home and the game is won.

Small Towns Cleaned 0ut.

The town of Garrison was given
a cleaning out Tuesday morning
by the states attorney. There
were only five blind pigs and pool
halls in the small town and they
were all given notice to move
on, Only one was arrested and
he, 'Fat Smith, made his escape
after waivering examination and
is now being searched for in
Mercer county where it is thought
he is in hiding. The operators of
the other blind pigs were "Inno-
cent Kid" Conley, O. n. Smith
and 'sTarbuck" Nedham.
B. e, From of Underwood was
also arrested for violating the pro-
hibition law. He was let out on
$500 bond and his case will be

A Destruetible Tornado.

Another tornado has struck
North Dakota. Monday night
the clouds looked threatening in
this city but only a heavy rain
and a little hail fell. In the vici-
nifty of Larimore thousands Of
acres of grain in the shock were
scattered over the fields, buildings
were blown down, several were
struck by lightning and the wind
was accompanied by a rain that
ammounted almost to cloud
burst. No fatalities were reported
but a number were injured by
lightning and falling buildings.
This is the second storm that
has struck this state this year.
1t had always been a known fact
before that when a storm was
coming it would hit all the states
around but leave North Dakota
and its people alone.

All Grain Shipped by Boat.

The steam boat Gros Ventre
came up from Bismarck Wednes-
day evening and will now be
stationed here to carry on the fall
work. The Expansion left Will
liston Tuesday for Washburn.
The Expansion left in June for
Glendive and has been in that
locality ever since carrying freight
1t too, will be used to ship grain
from all points on the river in
Mercer, Oliver and Mclean county
north of Washburn to this place
where it is sent by rail to the
shipping point.
The grain was unusually good
in Oliver and Mercer this year
and Capt. 1. P. Baker of the Ben
ton Transportation company is
making all arrangements to have
the grain shipped without any
delays.

Mosquitoes Seem to be Everywhere

e.
From reports, mosquitoes have
been very troubles some in all other
states this summer as we'll as in
| North. Dakota. In Missouri they
have a new scheme which gives
the sleepers little peace at night,
and is considered a great success.
Like most great ideas, it is
simple. It is wonder it has not
been universally adopted long ago.
It simply consists of a bulwark of
sticky fly paper all around ones
bed. This fly paper is made to
give out an appetizing odor by
flavoring it with a drop of vanilla.
It works like a charm, and
mosquitoes which would other
wise stand on the bridge of ones
nose at midnight get caught in the
savory stuff and soothe the sleeper
to sweet dreams with their last ex-
piring buzzes.

A Tragic Death Near Underwood.

Mrs. Gustaf Radtke, a sister of
Sam Newhart who lives near
Washburn, committed sui c d 9
Wednesday at her home on the
farm near Underwood by setting
fire to her clothes. She died from
the effects of the burns about three
hours after the fire was out but
was not conscious after being
found.
It had been noticed several times
of late that her mind would wan
der and it is thought that during
one of these spells the deed was
committed. Mrs. Radtke was q
hard working woman and besides
five small children to care for she
had extra farm help to cook for
during the harvesting season.
The funeral will be held this
afternoon from the residence.

Children Must Be Sent to School.

The school census for Mclean
county shows three per cent in-
crease. In 1908 there were 1922
children and this year there are
5000. In a number Of school dis
tricts the percentage of attendance
is very low. Below are givin a few
districts which will show the av-
erage number of children who do
not attend school 60 days a year:
Koenig district, 43 out of IS;
Veeder district 81 out of 81 do not
attend; Strawberry Is out of s.;
Schneider 81 out of u; Snow 80
out of 66; Medicine Hill 80 out of
63; Platt 81 out of 81; Freitag AZ
out of y; Buffalo Lake % out of
66. The state apportionment
will be held up in all these dis
tricts.
The following districts have
very good attendance; Weller,
Reuter-, Douglas, Roseglen, Blue
Hill and Leroy.

once. Only seven children at
tended school 60 days and there
are 81 enrolled in the district. It

DURUM WHEAT
TO THE FORE
Demand Durum Dough During Day
and Deal Undue Discrimination
Due Deathblow.

Thursday, October Z, will be
Durnm Wheat Day in North Da-
kota.
Governor Burke yesterday is,
iued proclamation to the people
of the state, calling upon them on
that day to encourage the use of
bread made. from durum wheat
-four, to the exclusion of other
-four.
The naming of special day on
which to encourage the greater
use of durum flourhas been urged
by the wheat growers Of the state,
and the proclamation issued by
the governor as follows:
Whereas, The grain growers of
the states of North Dakota, South
Dakota and Minnesota, in con-
vention assembled in the city of
Fargo, N. D., on the eleventh day
of June, 1909, passed a resolution
requesting the governors of said
states to name by proclamation
one day in each year "Durum Day.
for the purpose of advertising and
popularizing durum wheat; and,
Whereas, The state of North
Dakota is great wheat produc.
ing state and durum wheat has
proven best adapted to our soil,
our climate and our conditions;
yielding more wheat per acre;
more -four per bushel and more
palatable, more nutritious and more
numerous dishes than can be
made from any other kind of
wheat; and,
Whereas, There is uniform and
apparently unjust discrimination Of
thirty cents per bushel between
the price of durum wheat and
other wheat, resulting in a loss Of
many millions of dollars to the
farmers of this state each year;
Therefore, In difference to the
request of the grain growers Of
said states, and for the purpose Of
advertising the superiority Of
durum -four, and to encourage its
market value and adding wealth
and prosperity to our state.
I, John Burke, governor of the
state of North Dakota, under and
by virtue of the power vested in
me by the laws of the state; do
hereby nominate and proclaim,
Thursday, the seventh day Of
October, A. d., 1909, as Durum
Day.
1 urgently request the patriotic
people of this state to observe this
day by the use of Durum -four to
the exclusion of other -four. On
this day let the people, mindful Of
our agricultural interests and de-
pendance on the products at the
soil, meet at social or "Harvest
home Festival and exhibit in
friendly contest, and for suitable
prizes, the many edibles that can
be made from durum -four.
Given under my hand and the
great seal of the state of North
Dakota, at the capital, this twenty
first day of August. A. D.. 1909.
