good baseball team to uphold the
name of Beach in the line Of our
national game-the manifest of all
manly sports.
If Beach is to have a team, now
is the time to begin and frame up
an organization. A great deal de-
pends on the organization. With
the right kind of men behind the
management, our prospects are
bright as the woods are full Of good
material, and all they need is the
proper handling. Waiting until
the spring comes is too late to get
the preliminaries formulated and
the players in condition to play.
Let men be selected for the team
who are willing to play ball, and
above all do not select a bunch of
"rag chewers" for it would only
give the team a ragged name and
do the town more harm than good.
Select men who will be willing to
play, and play to win, by fair
means.
A baseball game begins to be in
teresting when the "Ump" calls
splay ball" in the first half of the
first inning. So we repeat, begin
now-for this is the first half of
the first inning.
Get together young men, and
you enthusiastic fans, and elect
players that will show the people
of Beach, and all others, that we
can play ball and deserve the towns
support. There is some of as
good bseaball timber right here in
Beach as there is in the state, there
fore there is no reason why we
should not have one of the best
baseball teams in the state. Don't
wait until next fall and then talk
about the good team we ''should
have had' last summer.

Good Company for 1909.

You are careful what choice of
friends the young people of your
household make. You do not open
wide the door to those whose speech
and behavior betray ill., breeding and
lax morals. Are you as careful to
shut it against books and periodicals
that present vulgar and demoralizing
pictures of life and it's purpose? Per-
haps you are among those who have
found that the Youths Companion
occupies the same place In the family
reading that the high minded young
man or woman holds among your as
sociates. The Companion is good
without being ''goody-goody." 1t is
entertaining, it is informing. In its
stories it depicts life truly, but it
chooses those phases of life in which
duty, honor and loyalty are the guild
ing motives.
A full description of the current
volume will be sent with sample
copies of the paper to any address on
request. The new subscriber who at
once sends 81 IS for a years subscrip-
tion will receive free the Companions

A pleasant surprise party occurred
at the hume of J. G. Little Wednes-
day evening, January the 9th, it
being the sixteenth birthday Of Mas
ter Irwin. His class in the seventh

tendahl served coffee, cake, candy and
nuts, after which Master Ben Ken
needy, in behalf of his class, presented

token of their esteem. After the ex-

they wended their way homeward.

that The Homesteaders will be equal
to the best fraternal organization In
the United States, II not in some re-
spects actually better than the best
now doing business In this state.
r. T. Beary. State Manager for
South Dakota, and Clare Lane, State

lied a lodge at Vermillion with one

These able officers came to Canton
to organize a lodge of n hundred
members and they will succeed, hav-
ing already secured so members and
written sl35, 900 worth of insurance.
On January 14th, A. H. Corey Su-

The Value of Conversation.

"Out of every ten things I know"
wrote Nine. de Sevigne, II have
learned nine in conversation" The
text is a good one. Let US examine
it.
Many young men 60 to college, but
never amount to much. Others do
not take a collegiate course, and be-
come leaders. The former travel
without observing, while the latter
travel and become cultivated and in
tellectual. The secret lies in the
power of observation and absorption.
There is always something to learn.
If the companion in the compartment
cannot interest you, the farmer in
the smoker may. Little by little i'll
formation is pulled together and the
listener finds he has learned from
men, if he did not learn from the
course of study that was denied him.
Sir Walter Scott was chided one
day because he paused to. converse
with a stable-boy.
II car learn from him." replied
Scott.
And the world is built this way.
The s%table-boy can make his contri-
button as we'll as the mine owner or
the manufacturer. Don't despise the
humblest source; there may be a
mine" in the "tip' given by the n
of smallest capacity.

Death of d. l.. Williams.

The sad information reached Can.
ton Wednesday that d. L.. Williams
of Lynn township had passed away at
2 o'clock in the morning, an event
not unexpected for the past week ow-
ing to his serious condition for some
time. Bright's Disease was the cause
of death.
The deceased was 81 years old and
came to Lincoln county from Iowa,
in 1881, locating in Lynn township
where he won a large circle OF friends
by his g~eniality and gentlemanly dis
position. He loved his friends and
his friends admired him for liberality
and brotherly affection at all times.
He was a friend the writer priced
highly and we in common with a host
of friends sincerely regret the loss Of
such a splendid citizen. He was
young in years but the summons came
and he faced the great beyond with
the fortitude of one who had abiding
faith in the Lord.
Besides a devoted wife he leaves a
son Harvey and two daughters, Maud
and Bernice, and two brothers, Harl
and Ensign, both of La Port, Iowa,
the former being present with the
family when the end came. The alb
sent brother will be present at the
funeral which takes place at the
home of the deceased at l O'Clock
Friday under the direction of Under
taker Campbell. Interment will be
in Forest Hill.
The deceased was a member of
Columbu Lodge 122 Independent
Order Of Odd Fellows of Worthing
and a member of Worthing Camp of
Modern WOodmen.
The LEADER joins with many
friends in extending sympathy to the
family in their hour of grief.
