Scheduled matches in the District
Bowling League commenced last night

Got your ticket yet?

Speaking about All-star aggrtgations,
did you happen to notice how good our
Nationals played yesterday when allied
with a few real wonders of the
diamond? Doc Gessler hit hard and
viciously. Though failing to hit safely,
Kid EIberfeld was far from outclsssed
by his companions. George Mcbride
cavorted about with his usual grace.
MiIan-well, no one ever SAID Milan
wasn't a star of the first water. 1t only
goes to show that the Nationals would
be a strong team If strengthened in two
or three places.

FIRST NEW WHEAT.

The Brookings Roller mills took in
the first new wheat Saturday, July 20,
from VIM. II. Welch. 1t was in prime
condition and tested sixty pounds TO
the bushel. In Mr.. Sexauer's twenty
years experience this is the earliest
late upon which he has ever taken
in new wheat. When at Volga in 1894,
during the dry years, he received
wheat on the first Of August, but this
year beats that record by three days.
Threshing is quite general over the
county this week and the quality of
wheat from the Binford n Kendall
farms and that received from Thos.
Tinker is high.
