QUINN SWALLOWS QU|N|NE
Defeated by Philip Friday After
noon by a Score of IL to Is

The remnants of the Philip base
ball squad went to Quinn last week
Friday where they were scheduled
to meet their old enemies on their
home battle field in the afternoon.
With Walpole, Durkee, Ramsey,
Koenigs and Mitchell out of the
game, the old warriors who have
busted up many a battle and led
our cohorts on to victory, the
bunch that sailed forth from
Philip were indeed but remnant
of the team which began the sea-
son. Three of the Cottontops were
picked up to finish out the nine
players on the way to Quinn and
the reputation of the Philippines
seemed to be sagging like a rotten
plank and about ready to bust in
two in the middle.
Notwithstanding the handicap,
our boys trotted out on the field
with the appearance of great con-
tidence, and before the Quinn
bunch had come alive, had scored
seven runs to their credit. Frank
Arens, who was in the box for the
Philippines, moved the locals down
in one, two, three order, and out
of the total number who faced him,
nineteen made three futile swings
in the dust filled air and then went
away back and sat down.
The day was most disagreeabIe
one, the wind blowing perfect
gale, and at times it was hard to
see the batter or the ball for dust.
Batting with the wind made things
worse for the felders and is par
italy accountable for the large
score of IL to Is.
The features of the game was
the timely hitting by Hargeshei-
mer, the heavy-hitting druggist,
and the twirling of Arens, who
was almost invincible at all times.
Roy Smith, formerly of Philip,
umpired the game and gave the
best of satisfaction, no kicks being
made throughout the entire game.

What Constitutes a Crank

The chief end of man is to be well
fed and comfortable. Happiness
is to live free from pain; a sound
mind in a sound body; and then to
feed the hunger of our desires.
The poorest of us may be the rich
est in the limitless beauty of the
world and in the imaginings of
our dreams. Mans imagination
will never die The creations of
his imagination are more real than
reality. Behold the Desert, how
bare and sparse it is; yet no place
is so populous with the creations
of the imagination. The Arabian
Nights is a fruit of the Desert;
Homer and Theocritus the bios
sons of a narrow and meagre land.
Simplicity is the handmaiden to
Happiness and Happiness is not
the child of either exact or vast
knowledge, but of a knowledge
which, even if it knew all things,
would put all things in due rela-
ton to each other and to Life.
Life is the supreme boon and to
live is to live we'll, broadly and
deeply and highly. There is but
one life and alas, how few are as
yet permitted to live it. He
who would truly live it, to its
depths and it's heights, sound mind
in sound body, has always been
and is today measured by the
money-grabbing multitude and
existance-grasping multitude as a
crank. Men of distinction are
seen by the commonplace are al
ways cranks. A knowledge of
truth is we'll for the human race,
for by truth we know Life, and
it's relation to the universe. What
is best for each member of the
race, but that knowledge which
is useful to promote healthful and
happy living is better than that
which is not so useful.-Charles
Erskine Scott Wood, i'm June

Married vs. Single

Under the competent and thor
oughly successful engineering of
Anderson Michael, base ball bug
of the old school, the married men
of Philip have organized a team
which will rally around Captain
Michael tomorrow afternoon at the
fair grounds at four o'clock to
wage contest with the single
ones for supremacy on the dia-
mond. The following married men
have signed contracts for this big
game: p. j. Gallagher, Charles
Gillen, Raymond l.. Moody, L. b.
Hartwick, Anderson Michael, +.
j. Durkee, r. A. Bielski, Lou
Carr and r. NJ. Durkee. We have
not been able to learn the line up
for the single men, but they will
undoubtedly be there stronger than
horseradish. The game will be
called promptly at four o'clock and
the admission, considering the dry
weather, has been reduced to the
small sum of nix. The whole, en-
tire and complete attraction will
be absolutely free to one and all.
Follow the big parade to the ball
grounds.

Greatest Wheat Crop on Record

Statistical reports from Wash
ington, ID. c., issued by the de-
partment of agriculture indicate a
yield of 4,291,875 bushels of
wheat an Increase of about 60, ,04S,
S57 bushels over that garnered last
year. The winter wheat indicated
yield is 4SO,OOO,OOO bushels and
the spring wheat 2S4, 100000 bu-
shells. This estimated yield is based
on the present condition of the
crop on June 1st. If the present
favorable outlook is continued
through the month of June, the
yield will undoubtedly exceed
800, 100000 bushels. Unless we
talk great deal the people of this
great American republic won't
know that we have had a little dry
spell in Stanley county. It's an i'll
wind that blows no one, no good,
so lets talk politics while we have
so much leisure on the farm and
in the store. If we are little short
this year on aquaous humor, there
are two or three things that we
can brag on without any success
full contradiction. We have grass
in this country that won't die, no
matter how long the drouth. We
have the cactus that absolutely de-
ties the drouth man. We have 365
days, AZ minutes and 81 seconds
of sunshine. No where on this
green earth can they beat that.
We are somewhat elated to know
that you can safely bet your money
on the above proposition. We now
have an abundance of leisure to
pick out our next governor, y. S.
senator, congressman and all the
lesser aspirants whose beacon
lights are burning along the po-
litical shores.
We will have worlds of stuff to
eat, and if our water gets low, we
will put down an artesian we'll and
maybe strike oil or gas. Our neces-
sites may be the open door, that
will bring to US wealth untold that
has lain for centuries beneath our
feet. The old saying is, you shut
man up and he begins to study
bow TO get out, so if driven to the
wall we can 90 down into the bow
els of Mother Earth, and there,
maybe find the golden ore in rich
restore that has so long eluded the
grasp of the Philippines
