Monroe S; Shelbina 5.

In a holly contested game at
Proctor's Ball Park last Sunday af-
ternoon between Monroe City and
Shelbina for the amateur champion
ship of Northeast Missouri both
sides seemed perfectly willing to
call the game at the conclusion of
the eleventh inning with hoDors
even the score standing 5 to S.
The game opened at 8 p. m. and
until 5:45 the opposing teams, I'M
der hot sun where the thermom-
eter seemed to stick at the 100
mark, stubbornly fought every inch
of ground, giving no quarter and
asking no favor. Shelbina went
to the bat and succeeded in forcin 6
two men across the home plate be-
fore they could be retired, but after
that drew blanks until the first
half of the ninth when a bunch of
errors by the home team allowed
the visitors to place three more
runs to their credit, tieing the score
as Monroe had scored one run each
in the first, second, fourth, fifth and
ninth innings. Both sides failed to
score in the tenth and eleventh,
and the hour being late, agreed to a
draw game. Neither team played
ball up to thier usual average but
at the same time pulled off some
sensational stunts. Monroe was
rather handicapped by Billy Youn 6
their best batter tanning the wind
three times and Omar Gosney. their
crack third baseman. having to be
retired in the eighth with a sprain-
ed ankle. Shelbina's first .baseman
was hurt in the practice game and
not having a substitute with them
had to put in school boy who hap
pened to come along with them. He
had no uniform and looked rather
small and delicate when he took up
his position but before the game
was over he looked like a three
hundred FOUNDER to the Monroe
team. Nothing got away that
came his way and the spectators
who smiled at him at first were
forced to admit their poor judg-
ment before the game was half
over. We understand the game
will be played over at Shelbina to-
day-Thursday. Quite a crowd at
tended the game and all got their
moneys worth. Umpire, Lambert

Hetty Green and Religion.

The metropolitan papers over this
country have announced to us the
past week that Hetty Green. the
richest woman in the world. had
gotten religion. Isn't it strange
how the little things no matter
what, that the richest man or the
richest woman may do would be of
importance and worthy of space.
If Hetty had stubbed her toe or
dropped her prayer book going up
the church aisle it would have been
known over the entire country next
morning Gee Whit Thousands of
women get religion every day, but
if they haven't the glittering gold
no mention will be made of tnrning
a new leaf and joining church.
We are glad Hetty got religion She
is now almost 80 years of age and
has spent most all this time wor-
shipping her god of gold. She has
given all of her good years to the
devil add now wants to swap the
weak of life for a mansion in the
skies. That is just like Hetty She
has always been selfish. We rath-
er believe this is another deal of
hers in which she has been unfair.

Rest is not quitting
The busy career;
Rest is the fitting

The highest and best;
'Tis onward, answering,
And this is true rest.

Filling the Silo.


the thumb nail. At this stage I'M
der normal conditions the two or
three bottom leaves will be turning
brown and the shuck will be turn
ing yellow at the end. There is
greater danger of putting up silage
too dry rather than too moist. In
stave silo the slaves should be
frightened up to exclude the air and
generally loosened a little after the
silage swells the slaves. The inside
wall of concrete silo should be
washed with thin mixture of &C.
ment and water every two or three
years. This fills the pores and
keeps the air from the siIage.
1t will take at least six teams to
keep the average silage cutter busy.
Corn should not be cut down too
far ahead or it will dry out too
much. Two men should work in
the silo distributing the silage with
forks. Where a silage distributor
is used one man is sufficient. They
should keep the silage higher at
the walls than in the center and
should continually tramp the silage
next to the walls. The tramping is
especially to keep out the air. When
possible allow the machine to stand
two or three days and refill to make
use of all the capacity. Finish fill
ing the silo by running in a load of
grass or weeds. This will rot and
seal the top and prevent having to
throw out the same amount of
spoiled silage.
The silage should feel wet after
it is cut in the silo. If the corn is
very mature when cut and is there
fore too dry add water. A small
stream may be run into the blower
from barrel or tank. 1t is especi-
ally important that the silage be
we'll tramped. The blower should
be run few minutes every morn
ing in order to clear the atmos-
phere before anyone enters the sllo.
The above instructions cover the
important points in filling a silo.

slcHEs THRUST UPON Film
Though German Did Not Know It, He
Had Identified Himself With
Nefarious Gang.

Not very long ago a German Or
ganist, who went to st. Petersburg
to live, had there alt experience with
d new cap that for a time almost
made him believe in the magic of
the Teutonic fairy tales.
The organist bought the cap dur
ing his first day at the Russian capi-
tai, and wore it the next day when
he went out for a walk. On his re-
turn to his lodgings he was amazed
to find two gold purses in his pocket,
one of which contained a sum equiv
alcnt to $50.
The next day, after his usual walk,
he found four purses in his outside
pocket, a find that caused him to
doubt his senses. a third day, with
a similar profitable result, sent him
to the chief of police to tell his story.
The authorities detailed a detec-
tive to go with the German to the
tailor who made the cap. Inyesti-
CATION disclosed the fact that it had
been constructed Of an odd piece of
English cloth brought in by a stran-
ger. From it the tailor had made
fifteen identical caps to order. Hav-
ing a bit left, he had constructed a
sixteenth cap, which was the one he
sold to the organist.
The detective then followed the
organist through. the streets Of the
city, when the mystery was solved.
The cap, it appears, was the emblem
of a gang Of pickpockets working CO.
operativefy. The one who secured a
purse dropped it into the pocket Of
the first confederate he saw. The
cap had identified the German, and
he had reapcd the reward.
With this clew it was an easy mat
ter for the Russian authorities to
catch the whole gang.-Youth's
Companion.

SAVED WHEN HOPE WAS LOST
Woman Little Likely Ever to Forget
Her Terrible Experience In
ehipWreck.

A woman recently had a remark
able, almost miraculous escape from
death in a shipwreck. The wrecked
ship was the Norwegian steamer Vi
%vienne, whose passengers and crew
with the exception of one of the
ships boys, who was drowned-were
landed at Cardiff, Wales, by the
steamer. Glenelg, which had been
in collision with the Vivienne off the
Lizard. As the vessel sank, Mrs.
Jorgensen, a passenger, in her night
attire, was on the top Of the wheel
house, and, believing hope was at an
end, had raised her hands in prayer,
when a rope flung from the Glenelg
fell into them. A moment later the
water rose to her waist, but clutch
ing the rope tightly she felt herself
being drawn up the sides of the
Glenelg. Suddenly the rope stopped
and for five terrible minutes she
swung over the waters, but eventu-
ally was safely drawn on board. The
Chinese composing the Glcnelgs
crew had been too weak to pull her
aboard.

COURT RULES on PATENTS
HOLDS INVENTOR HAS uNRE.
sTRicTEo MONOPOLY.
Has a Right to Control the Use Of
the Patented Article After -
It ls Sold. ..

Washington, March 13.-The gu
preme court held that the owner Of
q patent has an unrestricted monopoly
upon all articles used in its operation,
may fix it's price and prescribe its use.
and thereby laid down a broad prin-
ciple of doubtful application to many
of the governments important anti
trust suits now pending which involve
questions of patent rights.
The court stood four to three. Chief
Justice White, with whom disscnted
Justices Lamar and Hughes, in a spir-
tied opinion. voiced his dread of the
results OF the courts work, asking
who could foretell the extent of non
opoly and wrongful restrictions which
would arrive. AS construed by the
majority of the court, the chief JUS
tice declared the patent law could
reach out to include within a patent
every conceivable thing used in every
American household.
The chief justice declared that con-
gress should act to head off untold
evils" which would follow the courts
construction Of the law and arraigned
the majority as having broken all pre-
cedents. The court in its history. he
said. had never failed to do its duty
to the whole people and to stand as
the protection Of every household.

officials Of the department have pre-
dicted that the antitrust suits of the
future would be fought along those
lines. That question was involved
in the case against the electrical trust,
now settled in favor Of the govern

same question might be introduced In
