course is the desirr to keep conditions
beautiful and preserve the best sanl-
tary order possible.
There art many beautiful lawns arc
flower gardens in Bismarck which VIII

will be here and there could be no
better opportunity to advertise the

enforcement LEAGUE
IS BUSY At GRAFTON

GRAFTON, N. D., Sept. 18.-Nine
druggists who applied here for per
nits to sell liquor soon changed their
minds and today they decided tina,
they did not need them.
| The North Dakota Enforcement
league arrived at Grafton a few days
ago and started open investigation
as to whether the druggists were the
right ones to receive permits. The
local vigilance committee had put in
its good work silently and was ready
for the applications.
The first case, that of Henry An
derson of Park River, was called at
1870 Saturday afternoon. BY $50
States Attorney DePuy, with Super
intendent Watkins of the Enforce
ment league advising, had rested the
case with only part Of the evidence
submitted. Smith Peterson of Park
River, who represented Anderson,
asked for more time and the case was
adjourned until this morning.
Within thirty minutes the drug
gists had sent a committee to inter-
view superintendent Watkins to beg
for leniency and to turn in all per.
mits and withdraw their applications,
but were informed that Mr.. Watkins
could not talk over the matter. On
converting court it was found that
Smith Peterson had returned home
leaving word for the withdrawal of
the petition. 1t is not known as yet
what will happen as there :e.Said to
be good ground for criminal action |
against all Walsh county druggists |

President J. W. Heisman, head and shoulders of the Atlanta baseball club, has demanded that President Kavanaugh make an Investigation as to how the re- porters of The Age-Herald manage to find out when the Atlanta management asks for waivers on it's players.
 He states in his letter to President Kav- anaugh that the reporters of The Age Herald found out his schemes last season and published them to the world, and that this season they are up to their old tricks.
 President Kavanaugh, in reply to Presi- dent Heisman, stated that he was certain that President R. H. Baugh of Birming- ham has not aided the said reporters In getting their information, and that an in- vestigation would be to no purpose be- cause of the fact that should anyone be found guilty, no punishment for the of fense is provided for in the Southern league constitution.
 In this connection it is well to explain that the various club presidents have agreed not to make public the requests for waivers. and, furthermore, to state that President Baugh, directly or indi- rectly, has never given The Age-Herald the information, the publication of which has so nettled President Heisman.
 It so happens that some of the reporters of The Age Herald are incidentally Bir- mingham correspondents of Atlanta news papers, and that last season and this sea- son these reporters. having learned that

JACKSON MANAGER GETS THE
 CAN FOR LAYING THE UMPIRE

That exhibition was more than the own CTS of Jackson's team could stand and Norcum was given the pink slip. Mean time 'Rube" Peters of the pitching staff has been placed in temporary command of the tail-end team, and Jackson is hunting around over the United States for a man who can hold her team to- gether and pull it away from the foot of the league percentage column. This will be an uphill job. Jackson has played 16 games and won only five. She Is more than 100 per cent behind the next high est Yazoo City, and her friends and supporters are getting cold feet The gate receipts tell the story in silent but strong terms, and every old fan has be- come a knocker.

EDITED BY HUGH w. ROBERTS
WOULD INVESTIGATE LEAK
 OF WAIVERS IN BIRMINGHAM

Atlanta has asked for waivers on certain Atlanta players, notified the said Atlanta newspapers The Atlanta newspapers proceeded to publish the information. and Heisman has writhed in anger.
 Last season he made complaint, but the complaint amounted to nothing. Presi- dent Baugh informed President Heisman that the reporters are employed to get the news for their paper, and that he could not justly censure them. As a matter of fact, he told President Heisman that he was not interested in his charges and his complaint.
 The cause of the present rumpus was the Birmingham dispatch printed in the Atlanta Georgian some time ago that Att lanta had asked for waivers on Pitcher Miller and Catcher Ulrich
 This publication angered Heisman, no doubt. But his first anger was nothing to compare to his second. His second was due to the jibes of the fans when one of the men on whom he had asked for waivers, Miller, won the first Atlanta vic- tory of the season and soon again turned @ similar trick.
 The fans in Atlanta, If reports be true have never outdone themselves in lowing down at the approach of Heisman, and when new ammunition was furnished, they redoubled the volume and the fnten- sity of their ridlcule.
 Tn justice to the local association, The Age Herald repeats that MT. Baugh has rot been the source of it's information in reference to news of waiver requests. Furthermore, it is repeated that no tele- graph company, of course, has committed the leak"
 On the other hand, for the benefit of Mir Hesman, 1t might be added that as often as such information is obtained, It will be pulished. And, incidentally, 1t will not be difficult in the future to pub fish the names of the Atlanta players on whom waivers are desired. If Heisman is as astute as we think him, he will soon have his entire team on the market.
 Any other intelligent man so possessed and so oppressed would do so, at any rate H. W. R.
