SHERIDAN QUITS
INDICATOR JOB

Washington, June 29-John F. Sher-
idan OF the American league, for thirty
years a professional baseball umpire,
packed his baggage here yesterday and
half an hour before time for the first
game between washington and New
York surprised Umpire Egan with the
announcement that he had shouted
batter up for the last time. -
"Egan," said Sheridan, 1--WE quit and
you'll have to go 1t alone today. I'm
going to Chicago on the next train
He left a short time afterward for
Chicago, where he will report his res
ignation to Ban johnson, president of
the American league, tomorrow morn
ing Egan said that he had no idea
of Sheridan's intention until the latter
told him that he had quit. Egan, there
upon telegraphed Sheridan's action to
President Johnson.
Sheridan is the oldest umpire in
point of service in the country. He be-
gan In Columbus, Ga, in the old
Southern league, and has been in the

told Egan he intended to go to his
home in San Jose, Cal, where he has

the Methodist publications when the
commissioner knows there are a lot
of people in North Dakota who
think the Presbyterians or the Catho-

of public approval, and if he was
built on lines to worry about those
things he wouldn't have had a

had been getting.

Mandan Pioneer: The Pioneer is in
receipt Of a circular sent out by w.
p. Thurston. publisher of The Halle
ton Republican, who is a deputy in
the office of Alex Mcdonald, present
land commissioner and candidate
for the office of commissioner Of agri-
culture and labor, which reads as fol-
lows:
Brother publisher: Irrespective of
the fact that he is a candidate from
the county in which / am publisher,
and irrespective Of the further fact that
/ am at present his deputy In the
state land department, the undersigned
favors the candidacy of Alex. Mac
donald for commissioner of agricul-
ture and labor on the republican ticket,
because he believes the states APP
preparation of $4,000 annually should
be partially used among the news
papers of the state.
TT is an undisputed fact that the
country weeklies of North Dakota
have done more to induce settlers to
come to our prairies than has the
Office of commissioner of agriculture
and labor under the past administra-
ton.
LAS a publisher, interested in the
states development-and one of its
real empire builders-how much en-
enlargement have you had from that
department, and how much of the
$50, 600 appropriated by the last legis-
lature for the promotion of immi-
grafton was paid for space in your
columns?
IF you believe that a large portion
of the states appropriation should
be paid for newspaper advertising,
instead of being spent out of the
state, you have this issue left before
| the primaries and can do much to
elect man who will recognize the
worth of the country newspaper.

HEALTH FIRST OF ALL.

HEALTH FIRST OF ALL.
THE business woman must take care
of her health first Of all. other
women may have their clothes on their
minds, some may think more of their
good looks, but she who works must
have the asset of a clear head and
steady nerves If she is to make good.
With this object the business girl
should reduce her responsibilities to
the lowest possible limit. She should
not for instance attempt to keep
house and go downtown to work also.
The foolish girl who has to scrub
and tidy rooms after her hard days
work will reap her reward in break
down due not to her work downtown,
but to the extra strain she puts on
herself after hours.
Sewing by the midnight oil Is not
for the business girl either She does
not save in this way; far from it. She
Dnly makes herself stupid for the next
day and retards her chances OF pro-
motion, perhaps jeopardizes her posi-
tion

Ing others make them for her. She

her petticoats preferably tailored af-
fairs of silk to lingerie specimens; her
hats smart models that will go with
everything and that the rain will not
spoil.
The business girl must be sure of
getting plenty of sleep in we'll venti-
lated room where it is possible to es-
Eablish a current of air and where no
sharp sounds can penetrate to spoil the
effect OF her rest. You can sleep and
yet have that sleep robbed of half it's

penetrates to the brain.

AMATEUR BODY GROWING.
A. A. U. Records Show Nearly Million
Members Now Enrolled.


New York, June ga historical re-
view Of the development of athletic
competition in the United States,
prepared by committee from the
Amateur Athletic union. shows that
1.-THE number of competing athletes in
recognized events has grown in the
last twenty years from a total of about
l3 600 or 1000 in 1890, to nearly 1,000,0 900
at the present time. When the Amer
iican Athletic union was formed in
1883 there were not over fifty athletic
clubs in the country, while today there
are several thousand.
/ The first American track and field
championship was held in 1875. The
I New York Athletic club, arbitrarily
took control Of the government of
athletics at that time, and gave cham
pionship events until the formation
of the North American Amateur Ath-
lIetic association, which was absorbed
by the American Athletic union in
1883, since which time all control OF
amateur competitions has been under
the control of the present governing
body.

get with the farmers and find out what they are
thinking about connection with and what their plans
for marketing their cotton.
1t is evident that the farmers are entirely satisfied with
some things relating the marketing of their great crop hey
think that the hasy marketing tends bring down
its price and they are dead against conditions that permit
of bear raids upon prices They have been working along
lines that promise bring about different marketing conditions
and it probable that the Codee congress they will have
further suggestions to make along this line.
1t is scource of satisfaction know that the South

To the high price of cotton is to attributed the splendid
