High School Base Ball.

The High School base ball team played
two games last week. The first was
at lie Roy, which was won with the
scores standing Is to 5. Cresco scored
II hits off the LIE Roy pitcher.
The day following, our boys met the
Riceville school team and also defeat
to the tune of l3 to 0. The boys attri-
butte their defeat to loss of sleep as
their team did not arrive at Riceville
until 2 O'Clock a. M, and for the ad-
ditional reason that they played on a
grass diamond instead of the skinned
diamond to which they are accustomed.
However the ''The Kid in Front" in
the Riceville Recorder gives different
version as follows:
''Dat game last Saturday wasn't fast
enough to catch slow freight. What?
A ball game? Dat wasn't no ball game
dat was just quiet little parody on
ring around de Rosy" Those Cresco
fellers is a cute bunch of kids all right
and they'll probably make good doc
tors, lawyers and ministers, but dey
can't play base ball. No, not when
youse puts 'em beside our men.
Twelve to nothing. Did youse notice
it? OATS a scandal.
Now we amt saying nothing but
Riceville has got de filings for the fin.
est high school base ball team in dc
great state of Ioway and dats no dream.
Duffy's in de box and youse know he
curves brick some. Cresco's couldn 7
find Duffy's twisters wild de north pole
1t took HIM just nine innings to strike
out twelve men and de whole nursery
got only two hits
From the wide divergence of opinion
and "reasons Why it is safe topredict
a red hot game next Saturday between
the Riceville and Cresco teams to be
played in Cresco at the South Side
ball park.

Weathcr-Crop Bulletin.

Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 10, 1909.
The past week has been favorable for
farm work and the ripen,ng of the be-
lated corn, although the first two or
three days We're cool, cloudy and wet.
The average temperature was, how
ever, above the normal, the latter half
of the week being warm and pleasant
The rainfall was copious in all parts of
the state, and in many localities the
amounts ranged from two to over
three inches. Severe wind storms ac-
companied the rain on the evening of
the 18th and did considerable damage
to the corn, especially in northern,
western and southwestern counties.
The corn stalks in many fields were
broken or uprooted, but for the state
at large the crop has made satisfactory
advance toward maturity, and fully &C
per cent of it is now beyond danger of
an ordinary heavy frost. The late corn
will require from ten days to two
weeks of warm, dry weather to ma
ture, and, as usual, a small percentage
of the crop will need until the middle
of October. Considerable corn has
been cut and shocked or put in silos
The rains have softened the grounc
which is now in excellent condition fol
plowing and seeding winter grains
and this work has progressed rapidly
during the past four or five days
Some clover has been cut for seed il
the southern counties.

editor of the Decorah Republican,

changed 10 the Republican, but has
always been published by the Bailey
family, first by Wesley Bailey & Son
and later by A. K. Bailey & Son.
Mr.. Bailey was elected treasurer and
recorder of Winneshiek County in 1868
and after one term declined reelection.
In 1869 he was appointed postmaster at
Decorah by Pres. Grant and held that
Office until 1885. In 1889, he was elect
ed state senator from the Winnesheik-
Howard district, serving two terms.
He leaves two brothers, two daugh-
ters and one son. His wife preceded
him in death in 1906.
The funeral occurred Wednesday
