Ovid News


The ladies aid society will meet
with Mrs. Dawson on Wednesday
August 9Th.
Several beets taken from Lynn
Truax's field weighed two pounds
each. Lynn has a Pretty even
stand in one of his fields, and the
beets are all of good size.
The bitches are still running
bank full. and the majority of the
farms are being well irrigated.
This will not only help the pres
ent crops but will put the ground
in splendid shape for fall wheat.
Very little of the reservoir water
has been used, which leaves plenty
of water for the beets and for fall
irrigation. The ground will be in
as good condition next spring As
it was this year. and everything
points to continuance of bumper
crops in this district from now on.
The first wheat of the season
was hauled in on Monday from
the Z. +, Clayton farm west of
Ovid. This wheat tested 81 not
withstanding that the first few
loads were taken from ground that
was not irrigated. Wheat taken
from irrigated land that had water
at the proper time will no doubt
test pretty high.
J. l.. Thornton purchased a
Case threshing machine, through
the Western Hardware and Supply
Co. of this place. The machine
is on the road and will no doubt
arrive this week. The engine
is a 1915 and Mr.. Thornton has
already secured contracts to thresh
.wenty-one hundred acres of small
grain in the Ovid District. With
Chris Geiger threshing west Of
Ovid and Jake Sterley to the North
and the Thornton machine on the
East, no doubt there will be some
thing doing in Ovid in the grain
line.
E. H. Morley of St. Paul, Nebr.
arrived Saturday and after seeing
the crops or his farm north of
town he is wearing the smile that
won't come off, and well he might
as his renter Ethan Carroll is a
farmer that knows how to do
things, and it is pleasure to any
one to inspect this farm.
Mr.. Frank Short delivered
wheat here Tuesday that tested

Miss Ina Stockholm is visiting

Mr.. G. w. Cannady returned
from his claim on Sunday morn
ing. Miss Ruth Emory of Johns
town, Nebr., granddaughter of
Mr.. Cannady accompanied him
home. Miss Emory expects to
remain in Ovid for some time and
will attend the Ovid school the
COMING season.

Doc smuqqIers.

Previous to the year l795 In the
Netherlands dogs were employed In
smuggling, which was the more easy
as they are exceedingly docie. The
dogs were trained to go forward and
backward between two places on the
frontier without any person to at
tend them. Being loaded with little
parcels of goods. lace. etc. like mules
they set out at midnight and only
went when 1t was perfectly dark. An
excellent, quick scented dog always
went some PAGES before the others
stretched out his nose toward all quar-
ters and when he scented custom
house officers turned back. which was
the signal for immediate flight. Con
cealed behind bushes or In bitches. the
dogs waited till all was safe, then pro-
ceeded on their journey and reached at
last beyond the frontier the dwelling
house OF the receiver of the goods. who
was in the secret But here also the
leading dog only at first showed him
self. At certain whistle. which was
a signal that all was right, they hasten
ed up They were then unloaded. TAX
was good layer of hay. and well fed.
There they rested until midnight and
then returned in the same manner over

who is rated one of the best plsyers
of polo In America thinks so little OF
the playing ability of the fair MEM
berC of the Meadow Lark team that
he has agreed to play single-handed
against eight of the women that CON-
pose that organization and promises to
score at least once in each period o.
play.
The match was the result Of little
bet. In casual way. Stevenson made
the challenge, not thinking it would
be accepted. !. But when the Meadow
Lark members hear0 of 1t they not
only accepted the little wager but told
him to prepare at once-that the two
teams would face him and never per-
init him to earn one goal Ter alone
score once in each period of Z. min
utes of play.
The ladies win have fest mounts
which are also handy on the turns.

MLOUGHLIN AND
BUNDY Win
Title

LOS ANGELES, July 6.-This after
noon on the courts of the Los Angeles,
Country club at Beverly hills, Thomas
c. Buney of Los Angeles and Maurice
E. Mclaughlin of San Francisco for
the second successive year won the
tennis championship of the Pacific
coast in mems doubles by defeating
Ella Fottrell and William Johnston Of
San Francisco in. the final round of
the annual tournament. The score
was Cd. 3-6, AZ, Cd, 6-3.
The match went the full five sets
and was one of the closest and most
brilliantly played contests ever seen
on the Pacific coast Bundy and Nc
Loughlin are veterans of national repu-
tation, while Fottrell and Johnston are
both youngsters not yet 20 years of
age, who have been rapidly develop
ing into championship timber in the
last two years.
Bundy and Mclaughlin PLAYED their
game, and played. the best they knew
how, from start to finish, while their
youthful rivals outplayed them Clearly
for the most part of the second, third
and fourth sets. The pace was fast all
the way through and some OF the raj
lies. with all four at the net and volley-
ing as if life depended on the point,
were sensational in the extreme. Bun
dy's reverse twist and McLoughlin's
straight twist. so formidable in times
past. seemed to have no terrors for the
boys, who returned them almost at
will and with accuracy.
Iohnston was the most brilliant
player of the four, and next to him
came Mclaughlin. while Bundy and
Fottrell were the wheelhorses for
their respective teams. Mclaughlin
has long had the reputation of being
one of the most invincible smashers
in the country, but he was outsmashed
by young Johnston today.
Mclaughlin and Bundy will start
east in a few days and take part in all
the principal tournaments there as the
of the Pacific States
Lawn Tennis Association.

H Inns Maui has three first string
men on the field of action, and
is ready to take on the Oahu Reds
for a practice game this afternoon.
Play will not start until o'clock, at
Moanalua, so that local followers of
the royal sport will have ali oppertuni-
ty of sizing up the visiting opposition
after they close their desks for the
day.
The absentee is Harold Rice, who
will not be in town until Saturday,
the morning of the first match. His
place at No. 2 this afternoon will be
taken by either Walter Macfarlane or
r. w. Single, who are ready to up
hold the honor of Maui for the time
being. The game isn't apt to be very
strenuous, for both the teams will be
playing ponies that are to figure in
Saturdays match, and the players will
take no chances of cutting them down.
Still, it will show three of the Maui
players in action, and form students
will have something to figure on.
Maui has twenty of the classiest
ponies that have ever been stabbed on
the local field. Some of them are
veterans of the game, and are known
here, but there are several new ones
that attracted considerable attention

WOLGAST AND

LOS ANGELES, CAL. July 6.-That
Ad WoIgast and Joe Rivers would
meet again. probably on Labor day, in
the Vernon arena and attempt once
more to settle the question Of superb
ority in the lightweight division, was
practically decided upon today.
Both principals. their managers, and
Tom McCarey. manager Of the club,
were of one mind on this subject All
agreed that another meeting was inn
perative; all agreed to meet again all
agreed practically that Labor day was
the most logfcI date. and the question
of finances alone separated them. The
selection of referee was not men,
toned.
Il will do anything to get Rivers in
the ring again." said Jones. will
give Wolgast all of the purse. II nee
essary. to get him in the ring once
more, said Manager Levy for Rivers.
Manager McCarey. for the club, men,
toned Labor day as good date, and
this all agreed.
Another meeting. several perhaps.
will be held before the arrangements
are placed into articles Of agreement.
but the impression was left that Il
would be but matter Of short time
before the final stage had been reach
ed and that the two greatest light
weights now in the ring would GER
tainly meet again.

HOW They STAND

Over i'm the nations capital they are
talking of starting a Fourth Party"
movement, and putting Clark Griffith
at the head of the ticket For why?
Just look at the percentage table of
the American League. and note the po-
sition of the Washington team-over
the 500 mark and going strong after
the flying Bostons.
Chicago had very slight lead for
second place in the National on July
10. The Cubs and Pirates are making
such a good race of it, though. that
they are swapping positions all the
time. If anyone catches the Giants it
will be because McGraws men have
gone clear around the track and are
coming back Vernon continues hav-
ing things its own way in the Coast
League.
