cent worlds championship and that he

In a finding promulgated at cincin-
natl. Tuesday. the National Baseball
Commission directed that the name of
Player John II. Doscher be stricken
from the ineligible list Doscher had
twice been adjudged guilty of violat-
ing National agreement contracts
Last June the commission permitted
Doscher TO join the Jersey City Club
of the Eastern League on his plea that
he was in straitened circumstances
and that his family would suffer If he
was longer debarred from organized
baseball. Assurance was also extended
TO Doscher that IL at the close Of the
season he would file with the commits
sion certificate from the president
Of the league of the club with which
he played that he had been tractable
and had given his best services to his
team, he would be fully restored to
good standing. This certificate of good
behavior has been filed with the COM
mission In another finding the com

Wanted, a Boy.

That's a heavy headline, much
more perhaps than the reader has an
idea of it's full weight. Every man
operating a business wants a boy
endowed with no more than the aver
age intelligence you'll find in ninety
nine per cent of these youngsters
Did we say every business man want
ed boy, yes, that is just what we
said. He wants him to work and to
learn a business and to be an honor
and of service to the position to
which he is assigned. He wants a
boy of education and ability, if he
can get him, but invariably this is
his minor consideration. He don
want ''know-all' fellow or a
'smarty." He don't want Joker"
or salary grabber. He wants fell
low who feels that he should sacri-
flee many things for the privilege Of
learning business methods. He wants
fellow who is observant and con-
scientious in his own silent thoughts,
real fellow brim full of self re-
lance when his employer is absent,
one who can administer gentleness,
kindness and courtesy to those who
demand il; If he does this the same
good qualities will always be present
when he don't have IN t,ca than In

work and who can carry his heart

Beet Sugar Crop Gives Profit.

Steamboat Rock, Oct. 23.-The
800 acres Of sugar beets planted in
the vicinity of Steamboat Rock will
be worth $4,000 to $4,000 at a
conservative estimate of ten tons to
the acre, and some farmers think the
average will be nearer twelve tons to
the acre. The farmers receive IS
per ton for their beets loaded on the
cars ready to be shipped to Waverly.
Out of the $50 or more received
per acre they pay SIC per acre for
the hand labor of wedding and hoe
ing, which is done by Russians, who
make their homes on the farms dur
ing the season. The seed costs $3.50
per acre and the commercial fertiliz-
er $3.50 per acre. The beet sugar
company furnishes free use of seed
er, The farmer buys a special beet
pillow and litter.
While it is thought by some that
beets are injurious to the land II. A.
Gellhorn made trip to Hampton re-
Gently to find out about the effect
of the beets on the land for his own
good. His investigation proved favor
able as he has contracted for forty
acres for next season.
The Iowa Sugar company has
erected a scale house and beet dump
here at a cost of $1,000. The dump
does away with the farmer having
to scoop off his own load, which is
now unloaded, screened and loaded
on the car in from five to seven
minutes. The harvest will last about
thirty days.

Paving Contract at Oelwein.

Oelwein, Ia, Oct. 23.-Although
the city council has awarded the
contract for 10000 yards of paving
it may be necessary to pass the reso-
luton over the mayors veto. Mayor
Baker has said that he will not sign
the contract. Another injunction
suit also is feared as it is said that
the law has not been complied with
in giving the contract to the lowest
bidder. The bid of William Horra-
bin of Iowa City was accepted, al
though fourteen cents per yard high
er than that of NJ. Ford of Cedar
Rapids. Horrabin bid $2.04. while
Ford bid $50. Horrabin secured
the contract because of a difference
in the wording of the bid.
Of the six different kinds of paw
ing mentioned Ford was the lowest,
but the council was apparently in
favor of bitulithic. Mr.. Ford's bid
read "bitulithic or its equal" while
Mr.. Horrabin's read simply bitul-
ithic. Mr.. Ford offered to change
the wording of his bid, but the mem
bers of the council held that this
could not be done after the bids were
opened.

COUNTY AUTO CLUB.
County Called For Next
Monday.

Every automobile owner in Winnie
shiek county is invited to attend a
meeting at the small court room in
the court house, DEBORAH, next Mon
day afternoon, October 30th, at two
o'clock, for the purpose of organic
ing an automobile club for this
county.
For a year or two this matter has
been discussed among the automobile
owners, but no definite steps have
been taken to organize. Every auto
owner will recognize the value OF
such an organization, and it is hoped
that all will attend this first meet
ing. There are many things of great
interest to auto owners that need
the attention of such an organiza-
ton, and there should be no further
delay. Let every auto owner or pro-
spective owner be present.
