Sporting Views

Tomorrow will be ladies day. Gales
burg comes and three good battles
are looked for with hough's men.
J. Aiken. formerly of Keokuk, sends
The Gate City postal showing the
new Cleveland baseball park and field
as it will look when constructed.
Galesburg opens up series of three
games here tomorrow. Hough's men
are always welcome in Keokuk as the
combination is strong one.
Pitcher Patrick was billed to work
in the second game yesterday, but
Manager Belt changed his mind In
workout. Patrick showed that he had
nothing whatever, and Belt will wait
until he is in condition. Patrick's sal
airy has not started and will not until
he is in shape to pitch. Thus he is
not dead wood on the team.
Red Corridor continues his rec
ord breaking pace in the Western
league. The complete averages were
published Sunday showing the young
ster to be hitting at clip of .291. He
leads the league in stolen bases with
Al to his credit. Connors is watching
the youngster perform and will doubt
lessly pull him back to st. Louis next
season.
Here is what seems to be Reichles
difficulty and he had the same fail
ing even when he was clouting the
ball yiciously. The big fellow seems
to make up his mind before the ball
is thrown whether he is going to
strike at it or not. The result is that
good balls cut the plate and he swings
at the wide ones. When he hits the
ball he does not meet them cleanly,
as he would IL he looked them over
and picked out the good ones.

Saginaw, Mich. has a municipal the
alter. While other cities were dreaming
Of such a thing Saginaw was building
one. Two Saginaw citizens. w. r. Burt
and T. E Dorr, a~scertaining that the
city would accept such a gift, In
structed the architect to go ahead and
devise the best that could be obtained.
1t was planned for a theater, and as
such was built n opened. The build
ing was formally opened with a con-
cert by h combined forces of
Madame Gadski and Walter Damrosch.
Six thousand persons paid their way
into the building. Its stage is ample
to accommodate n production on
tour. 1t has played Independent shows,
and has been the means OF introducing
plays to Saginaw which else it would
have been denied. During the first
year OF its existence as a municipal
playhouse 1t was occupied over so
times by performances. and has been
shown to be sell disappearing. After the
building came from the donors, who
paid IS per cent of the cost, the city
paying the other fourth, 1t became
strictly municipal property, and is gov
erned solely by a board Of trustees,
composed Of three members appointed
by the common council. An ordinance
classes Of entertainments, and also
stipulates that the price charged for
gallery seats shall not, for any Of.
fering, be more h rs cents.

Not quite alone. for with him was
the contractor, awed to silence by the
immensely of his creation.

his voice came echoing back from the
dim spaces of the building.
The solicitor did not answer.

The solicitor turned from the ped
estal.
He is not ready yet" he said soft
ly, as though afraid of the echoes.
He walked to where the big steel
doors of the hal stood ajar, h con-
tractor following.
In the vestibule he took two keys
from his pocket. The heavy doors
swung noiselessly across the entrance,
and Mr. SPEEDING locked them.
Through h vestibule and out into
the busy street the two men walked,
and the solicitor fastened behind him
the outer doors.
My client asks me to convey his
thanks to you for you expedition" the
lawyer said.
The builder rubbed his hands with
some satisfaction.
You have taken two DAYS less than
we expected" Mr.. SPEEDING went on.
outside his trade. He said again
Yes, our client may start business

The solicitor smiled.
My client, Mr. Potham, may not

said. I'm fact, until-well, until he
dies, Mr.. Potham."

FREE MEAT.

Representative Otto Foelker, who
when state senator was carried from
his sick bed to cast the deciding vote
on the Hart-Agnew racing bill,
will introduce a bill at Washington
to suspend the tariff on meats for one
year. He believes the price will
then come down with rush.
Alerdman Frank Bowling will in
troduce this week an ordinance aim
ing to make it impossible to sell stor-
age eggs, meats, fish, and other foods
as fresh. The ordinance will provide
that all cold storage goods must be
so labelled and tagged with the date
on which they were stored.

Why does Great Britain buy
its oatmeal of US?

Certainly It seems Ike carrying
Goals TO Newcastle TO speak of export
ing oatmeal 10 Scotland and yet, every
year the Quaker Oats Company sends
hundreds of thousands Of cases Of
Quaker Oats TO Great Britain and
Europe.
The reason is simple; while the
English and Scotch have for centuries
eaten oatmeal in quantities and with
regularity that has made them the
most rugged physically, and active
mentally of all people, the American
has been eating oatmeal and trying all
the time to improve the methods of
manufacture 50 that he might get that
desirable foreign trade.
How well he has succeeded would
be seen al a glance at the export re-
porS on Quaker Oats. This brand IS
without rival; is packed in regular
Oc packages, and in Theoretically seal
ed tins for hot climates. 81

THE COST OF LIVING
AGRICULTURE IN WEST VIRGINIA HAS
FALLEN OFF.

In another column of the INTEL
gencer appears an interesting card of
well known business man discuss
ing the cost of living. The writer
points out some facts which have
bearing on the local situation. Agri-
culture in West Virginia has fallen to
low stage. Whole counties, which
years ago shipped thousands of cattle
to the eastern markets in addition to
producing their own meat supply, are
now dependent upon the west for
their meats. A few weeks ago some
interesting data collected in Parkers-
burg showed that Wood county i'm
ported over million dollars worth of
farm products, all of which, could
have been grown at home to advant-
age. If the facts were known it
would appear that the conditions in
Ohio county are even worse. Our
farmers are prosperous. In many
cases they are prosperous not because
of industry and thrift but because of
the fortunate discovery and sale of
coal, oil and gas riches, which have
enabled them to lead lives of ease,
while the rich acres which they once
cultivated cease to be productive.
We do not have the evils of land
lordism in this country, but the man
who takes and holds two or FIVE hun
bred acres of fine farm lands and fails
to produce upon them the live stock,
grain and vegetables, which they
ought to produce for the consumption
of mankind, does a grave injustice to
his fellowmen. Unproductive owner
ship of the opportunities of product
ion, is an ofense which might very
properly be made subject of serious

A NEW YEAR PROBLEM.

A Missouri editor is trying to
make busy year for his readers
with this problem:
"A train one mile in length is
standing on the track with the en-
CINE at the depot. The train pulls
out and as the caboose come to the
depot the conductor gets on and
walks to the front end of the train
and gets off the engine when it stops
at the other town depot. The towns
are three miles apart. How far did
the man walk, and how far did he
ride"

SAFETY OF THEIR CHILD.

A representative of the. Sentinel
called at a certain home on West
Side recently and was much Impress
ed by the precautions of the parents
for the safety of their child. In front
of the open gas stoves there was a
system of wire netting arranged so
that the child could not get near the
FIRE, and should be in every home III
Grafton, especially where there are
children.
Had this been the case and had
other families of the city taken the
same means of protecting their child
rem from the FIRE, there are several
fatal accidents that might just as
well have been averted, The wire
nets to protect the children from the
open FIRE should be in every home in
Grafton. They're safe way to
keep the children from the fire. =
