IN MAJOR LEAGUES

The longer Wood continues at his
 present gaft-against American League
 clubs-the more probable it becomes
 that the Giants will upset him in the
 big series next month. He has been
 due" for long time. Every game
 ne wins now. makes it more improD- able, according fto7the law governing
 next.
 Ban Johnson took lot of pleasure last fall in banning the Giants as
 umpire bafters." There has been more trouble over the urnpirins at De- tro1t during the present home stand of the Tigers than there has been in the entire National League in che same time.
 By no stretch of imagination can we conceive anything that would have str uck more responsive chord in Col. John McGraw and his Giants than the polished defeat administered to the eminent Lew Richie and the Cubs IT Jeff Tesreau needed anything to thor oughly establish him In the high es- teem of his teammates it was supplied along about 5 p. m. Saturday when the expansive Missourfan got the 1asr struggles of a well pitched game out of his system and beaRaed down upon the prostrate form of the one time fn- vincible Richie as well as the disnan- tied runners-up for the pennant
 Tesreau is admittedly the pitching find of the season, But aIdhou@h ed by the fans at large Meoraw and Wilbur Robinson have been aingfne the praises of the big spitbaIlar evsT since he joined the club in the South last spring. Aside from having won derfu1 na turaI ability Tesreau has been quick and anxious tD learn, and that he will be one of the mott tsiJr ed Of men in baseball before the cur tain goes down on the pastime for the season.
 Managers of clubs that are out os the race for a certainty are using the last few weeks of the season for re- hearsing new applicants for jobs in the regular cast for next year. AL ready the names in the box sc0TeS of a summer hotel and many a young ster is making his first, and in some cases his last, bow to the patrons in the big tent.
 Among other things that are oeeu- pying the attention of the Giants at Rrfs Speaker K tnS of te GeEsl9n e9 q o is known in baseball parlance as groove. Grooves or rather the lack part in the last worlds series that it will be highly interesting to learn what. chances Speaker has to Become the J. Franklin Baker of 1912. IL fs man who clubs regularly at go clip is apt to cause trouble and at least will bear close watching
 If you want to know which team UilI win the worlds series read what he mana gers of the American League ;lubs have to say, then read what the eaders of the National League clubs have to say. You will then have a of evidence on both tides, leaving you the alternative of ossing up a coin and saying heads lie giants win, tails the Red Sox win. And that is about as close as we ven ure to guess at this moment

 The report that the Bridgeport club lost $3,OO0 this season will be accepted with a grain of salt by most fans. It is the custom for. all minor, league out and tell what poor season it was That is done so the public will not get the idea that there is any money in baseball There is no ques-. ton but that the attendance was smaller than in fcrrler years. New erthe1ess there was always a fair sig during the entire season did the gate receipts fail to cover the $50 guarantee for the visiting club. The sale of O,Roufke to the Boston club for S3- 900 was the biggest money the club ever received under the present. own ersf1ip and this ought to cover the de- ficit made by the smaller attendance. The salary list was no higher than in 1911 and it is hard tc see where the club could drop s3,e00. It is cinch that the ewner didn't make any money but Is also difficult to make anybody believe he lost any great amount.

5000 to be secured from the honor

naval militia, and various mechanical

The application of the eight-hour
law to all shipyards says Secretary
Meyer will probably cause an increase
in the appropriation necessary to build
ships of a given type. AS to small
American navy yards Secretary Meyer
makes no definite recommendations
for their adjustment, but suggests
that If the American feet is to spend
part of its time on the Pacific coast
after the Panama canal opens some of
the navy yards on the eastern coast
will automatically close from lack OF

adopts the recommendation Of the
general board that all their channels
be dredged 10 a depth OF at least forty
feet and a minimum width of 76e feet.

FIRST GRAY HAIR
HAIR sign OF AGE
EASY WAY TO PRESERVE NATU.
RAJ COLOR OF THE HAIR AND
MAKE IT GROW.

A harmless remedy, made from COM
mon garden sage quickly restores gray
hair to natural color. The care of the
hair, to prevent it from losing it's color
and lustre, is just as important as to
car for teeth to keep them from dis
coloring. Why spend money for cos
meticS and creams to improve the
complexion, and yet neglect you hair,
when gray hair is ever more conspic-
uous and suggestive of age than
wrinkles or a poor complexion? OF
the two, it is easier to preserve the
natural color and beauty of the hair
than it is to have a good complexion.
All that is necessary is the occasion
al use of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy, a preparation of COM

bined with other valuable remedies
for dry, harsh, faded hair, dandruff,
itching scalp and falling hair. After
a few applications of this simple,
harmless remedy, your hair will grad
uaIly be restored to its natural color
in short time the dandruff will be
removed, and your hair will no longer
come out, but will start to grow as
Nature intended it should.
Don't neglect your hair, for it goes
further than anything else to make or
mar your good looks. You can buy
this remedy at any drug store for
fifty cents a bottle, and your drug
gist will give your money back if you
are not satisfied after using. Pur-
chase a bottle today. You will never
regret it when you realize the differ

CLUB Is
DOING GOOD WORK
MANY ACTIVITIES OF CONNER
GAL ORGANIZATION THERE
DEPICT PROGRESS.

LansfoTd Journal: Contrary to the
expectations, of a few of our people
the Lansford Commercial club is
taking it's rightful place among the
organizations of this character
throughout the state, an dts infiu-
ence is being felt IN nc uncertain man
ner.
1t might be we'll to cite a few Of
the accomplishments OF the organiza-
ton since its inception. These &C
complishments have already rebound
ed TO the benefit of the entire COM
munity.
One of the first things that was
called to the attention of the club was
the matter Of country roads. Several
of the roads leading into the city we're
in pretty bad shape at different times
of the year, and some means to I'M
prove them was the problem. One of
the important things done was the
clearing Of the roads of stones. so
that they could be made smooth. Then
the township board of Lansford town
ship ~co-operated with the club to the
extent that the south road leading into
the city was graveled from the school
house to the section line, a distance
Of nearly a half a mile. The city
also met the township half way and
graVeled the streets In front and east
of the school house.
The better farming association of
the county was given q start by the
club and money given to keep the
good work going. Office room was al
so furnished for the field man who
makes this city his headquarters.
A cream market was also establish
ed in this city where the farmers
could secure cash for their cream.
This department has not fourished
to any extent during the fall, but with
more ows in the country it is ex-
pected that the cream station will be-
come a great boom to the farmers Of
this vicinity.
In the Nov. I9 Issue or The Minnea-
polls Journal appeared an advertise
ment from the club calling attention
to the excellent advantages Of this
section for the homeseeker. Several
replies have already been received
from this publicity and by spring we
settlers. In another place in this
paper appears a reproduction of The
Minneapolis Journal advertisement.
The mere placing of this ad shows that
the club is a live organization, and that
it is bound to make it's influence felt
upon property values in this locality.
Lansford was the only city in the
Mouse river loop country having an
advertisement in the Minneapolis
newspapers during the land show held
in Minneapolis, thus proving that If
advertising pays in the large city
papers LansfOrd will reap some ex-
ceIIent benefits from. this publicity.

The CORN SHOW
At VALLEY CITY

Valley City, N. D, Dec. 6.-The ex-
hibit for the corn show and industrial
exhibit present a neat and attractive
appearance. There is something over
l ,000 entries and over $50 exhibitors.
The lecture on Personality by Alex.
Karr has been the subject of very
favorable comment. The talk by State
Superintendent e. ]. Taylor covered
a subject that is of vital interest to
educators of the state and was a
profitable talk for those who were per-
mitted to hear it. The prominent
agricultural experts who are here are
all taking an active part in making
the work effective along agricultural
lines. Interest in the work is keen on
the part of the teachers and students
and the meeting is bound to be success
along the line of work for which It
was primarily intended.
There are several VINO are evidently
intending to carry off the prizes for
the largest load hauled to town as
we'll as the one offered for the load
of a ton or more hauled from the
longest distance.
The interior of the building in
which the exhibit is held is so ar
ranged that both sides is given over
to displays of merchandise by the
local dealers. This is all in separate
booths which is partitioned off with
white cloth and lastly decorated.
The corn, small grain, vegetable and
fruit exhibit is displayed in the CEN
ter of the building on tables arranged
for that purpose, and the cooking dis
play including pastry, bread and all
fancy cooking is in cases on the same
table in the e end of the building.
This cooking exhibit is in competi-
finp fnr fha nrizpS nffara1 for fha host
cooking by the ONE Of the rural
districts. There is also two booths
on the south side given over to the
display Of women's fancy needlework.
The state normal school also has a
booth on the south side in which is
shown a display of work in domestic
science and manual training. The
poultry display is in the east end Of
the building, there are several dis
plays of fancy stock hat Is said to be
as good as is to be found anywhere IN
the country.
On the north side of the building
in the first space Peter Davidson is
exhibiting and demonstrating the wild
oats separator. In the first booth rs
the display of the Arneson Hardware
Co, with a display of goods from their
store. The Dakota Drug Co. is in the
next place with a nice display. The
next is a showing of cream separators
and the last place on the end is taken
by the Northwest Nursery Co. The
grasses and seeds are shown in the
extreme real of the building.
The display of fruits canned and
preserved-as well as dairy butter. ia
shown on the south side and the dis
play is well worth looking over As

partments is good and the corn show

pared"
The opening of the Panama Canal
VIII in no double the American
feet, according to Secretary Meyer.
While It will increase its efficiency by
facilitating its passage from one coast
to b other, this condition has been
fully considered in calculating the
naval programme. Without the canal,
says Secretary Meyer, experts figure
that the United States would need a
fleet double that of a country whose
coast line is continuous.
The secretary estimates hat a total
of forty-one battleships, with a pro-
portional number OF other lighting and
auxiliary vessels is the least that
would place this country on a safe
basis in it's relations with other world
powers. The fleet should be secured
as soon as practicable, he said, and
it's strength should be maintained by
replacing obsolete vessels with new
ones by a uniform annual programme.
While the navy department would
welcome more torpedo beats and sub
marines. the secretary expresses the
belief that untfl more Of the old
battleshfps are replaced 1t is wiser to
build battIeships than smaller vessels.
As to the need of battle cruisers, the
swifter ships Of the first Line of de-
Tense, Secretary Meyer quotes the
naval general board:
1.-THE United States mas no vessels
of this type. They have a military
value not possible to obtain from other
types or combinations of types. To
further neglect their necessity is to
deliberately weaken our naval
strength. The paramount need of the
navy, is however for battleships, and
the board does not recommend any
modification of the building pro-
gramme by which preference in build
ing is given to battle cruisers or other
fleet units, and auXiliaries, which will
interfere with the ultimate battleshiP
strength"
Battle practice has brought the
existing fleet to a state of complete
readiness for instant service says
Secretary Never In commenting on the
naYy's condition. Reserve as we'll as

to Secretary Meyer. He points out
that while the United States spent
only $4,000 for this purpose last year,
Japan spent $500, 900 and FIVE European
nations spent Individual sums ranging
from 50, 00,O0e to $4,000, 00Q the latter
being the expenditures of France.
