A ball game between the travelling
men and Kahoka merchants is billed
for Friday, August 16. The proceeds
Of the game are to be applied toward
putting down cement walks in the
park. The game should be well pat
ronized. 1t will help along worthy
cause to say nothing of the fun and
amusement.
The Kahoka base ball team had
game scheduled and large crowd
out to witness an exhibition with
Company L. Of Keokuk on Sunday.
The Keokuk lads failed to show up
at the proper hour and telephone
message to the Dam city brought the
! information that the expected visitors
were playing the Power City boys.
This was announced to the waiting
fans and their money returned. It
was a shabby trick on the part OF
Company L.
| A man by the name of Bryan is to
| be the platform manager of the Ka-
hoka chautauqua. This need occasion
no alarm, however, among the "hound
! dog" admirers for he Is no relation to

The Kahoka chautauqua program is
an exceptionally good one. Dates,

There has been much dickering with
both the republicans and democrats In
an endeavor to secure men to fill the
vacancies on the two tickets before
the primary on Tuesday. Just who
will lead is something only the votes
can show The democrats may moi
have made long automobile drive
to south township" for candidate
but they have been none the less busy
In Lincoln.
The Misses Cook, of Pennsylvania
i are the guests of their cousin, Miss
3 Bessie Snyder.
! Prof S. L. Mapes came over from
: Kirksville on Monday and was look
ing after school matters for few
) days
, A number Of aspirants for state Of
fices were In Kahoka last week. We
: fail to see wherein visit of this kind
? is beneficial to candidate. He meets
t a few politicians at the county seat
and probably few voters who i'm
mediately forget his name and the
: office he aspires to. It appears to us
: that the only way a candidate for a
, state office can reach the voter is by
literature and through the local press
II he would spend railroad fare with
the country editor in properly getting
his name and candidacy before the
voters 1t would seem that vast
amount more could be accomplished.
