Let's Get
Together

Another one lost
Don't get it into your heads that
Jimmy Jackson is responsible.
He Is the real article in Tri-State
baseball this year.
If there is any playing manager in
the league who plays the game bet
ter than Jimmy does we have got TO
hear anything from him.
His draw of the throw to second
in the fourth inning sent Russell
skyward and paved the way to the run
getting.
And his sixth run would have won
in the ninth If Silknetter had not hit
the skids.
Some fans may think that Jimmy
should have gone to second i'm the
first one over. He didn't have
chance.
Others will say the Chicks should
have tried the hit and run game.
Either play was uncertain. silk
netter should have taken the worst
Meyers would have cleaned up. And
then, joy
But after all it was Mr.. Wagner's
stop that actually turned the trick.
He had no license to get in front of
those hot ones in the ninth.
And the umpiring also hight have
been responsible for the sorrowful
outcome
Umpire Hurley's eyes semed to
have been in the direction OF the big
top instead Of on the bases.
Mecherley made some nice stops,
but got one over bad.
eastman fell down on a double
play when he dropped the ball in the
second inning.
Jimmy Jackson pulled of neat
play in drawing the throw TO himself
on second in the fourth inning, allow
ing Marhefka to score.
Jackson and Silknetter pulled off
double steal on Bentley. You have to
hand It to Jimmy for pulling off the
inside stuff
Wagner's fine stops in the fifth
really won the game for his team
Bentley didn't get away with that
sneak on eyeMrs in tho seventh. In
stead Tex poled it to right for two
bases.
Bentley retired the side in the
eighth inning.
Tony Marhefka ran into right field
In the ninth and pulled down Bent
leys high one.
iWth another Pitcher like Salmon
the Chicks would get somewhere.
Just 10 let the anxious world know
that he is still on the team with Ty
Cobb. Sam Crawford turned his sec
ond hit into a homer in the ninth
when two men were on bases and
wrapped up a game for the Tigers
Jimmie Callahan's runaway lads

Successful Dairying.

The successful dairyman must set
his mark high; it will not do for him
to be content with such herd as his
average neighbor possesses unless, in
deed, he is very fortunately located.
But his purpose must be an intelli-
gent one. He must associate with
good dairymen and read good dairy
literature. He should attend the fairs
where dairy cows are exhibited He
should join a dairy association and
should help organize a cooperative
breeders association in his own com
munity if one is not already in opera
ton. He should buy few pure-hred
cattle at least even though he may
have to pay we'll for them.
Feeding problems that Interest
dairymen generally should receive his
careful attention and he should ever
keep his mind open to receive new
ideas. He should get a Babcock tester
and learn to use it. He must know
what his cows are doing and this is
the only practical way to find out. In
doing these things he will be keeping
close to the successful man and this
is the only safe way.-Farm and
Home.

Turnips a Valuable Feed.

While an analysis does not find
them rich in solid elements, their val
ue lies in their appetizing and regula-
ting properties. They furnish green
substance for winter feeding, regu-
late the digestive organs and keep
the stock in the best of health.
In feeding cows the trouble of
which so many complain, namely,
tainted milk" has not been exper-
fenced. The turnips are cut up, so as
not to choke the COW, and fed only
as part of the regular ration. Avoid
feeding in excess and treating" the
cows at odd times.
Turnips may be profitably substi-
tuted for much high-priced grain. In
feeding sheep turnips are of especial
value. They furnish the bulk and sue
culence so essential.
For hogs and poultry cooked tur-
nips are relished much more. The
slop is thickened with bran or shorts.
To poultry it is fed as warm mash
in the evening and results are very
good. Sometimes / cut a few TUT nips
in two and throw them into the runs.
Turnips are very good for young pigs,
promoting growth and producing
bone. They are also very good for
brood sows and may constitute at
least half of the ration. After far
rowing they are fed in reduced quaint
titles and seem to induce milk produce
tion.-Farm and Home.

they have walked on the stage bodily

No more than in the books from

and broad humanity, wit and wisdom
and an all-around appeal to Mrs
Wigs" Granted that several of the
characters, notably Mrs. Eichorn and
Mrs. Schultz are a bit more of carl
cature than character, but so are the
Mrs. Schultzes and Mrs. Eichorns of
real life. Granted that some of the
condolences are almost too lifelike
to be plausible, and grant many more
| things, and then admit that Mrs.
Wigs of the Cabbage Patch is a
play to be enjoyed and remembered
/ by everyone. 1t has been relished by
more than two million playgoers in
the past four seasons. and it has since
the beginning of its fifth season brok-
en- all records for business through
out the tour.

to celebrate their fifth anniversary,
when the present members, with
those now retired and families were
gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs
A. E. Lee to enjoy the gala eve. The
choir entertained with many fine sell
ections, deep in expression, varying
from the lively and unrestrained &c
the more gentle and appealing. Dur.
ing intermission few speeches were
made. d. E. Sjoboen delivered one
on the history and biography of the
choir, how when at first these young
men and seniors proposed the posi-
bility of, and later organized a male
singing choir, the accepting of the
name "Grieg," the personal interest
manifested in endeavoring to meet
the consequent requisites, the result
of their jealous efforts and their pres
ent success, closing with the request
that the choir sing their first song,
"Solen Synker," by Gebauer, under
the direction of their former leader,
Hans Z. Grimso of Saude Mr.. Grim

MAN SLOWLY TURNING TO STONE
With Stiff Neck Eighteen
Years Ago.

]. w. Worden, of Colfax, Iowa, will
give $10Ov to any surgeon in the Uni
/ ted States who will break his neck
with anything short of a sledge ham
mer. Worden spent last week in Om-
aha and was seen by a number of
physicians, but when he left the city
he carried his thousand dollars with
him.
Worden Is an ossified man, the only
ossified man in the country. He Is
also a farmer and lives near Colfax,
Iowa. With the exception of the
eyes, his tongue and his arms from
the elbow down, he is one huge piece
of bone, without joint or hinge Of
any kind. His body is as hard as
stone and as rigid as piece OF steel.
Except as noted, he cannot move a
single muscle of his entire body. All
day and all night he lies straight and
stiff, motionless. He can no tlaugh
he can not even smile.
Eighteen years ago Worden was a
farmer living near Colfax. One morn
ing he awoke with stiff neck. There
was no pain, but he could not move
his head as freely as had been his
custom. He paid no attention to 1t
at first. But the affliction grew worse
and he finally consulted the family
physician.
Just a little Stiffness" said the
doctor. "That'll soon wear on
Eut the stiffness did not pass away.
Worden went back to the doctor. And
this time the doctor found something
that puzzled him. While making his
examination he discovered that Wor-
den had lost practically all feeling
in the neck. And then he called In
another doctor.
The second physician was also puz-
zled. Looks like this fellow is turn
ing into a big BONE" said the new
doctor. And soon they discovered
that, in fact, Worden was actually
turning to bone. The flesh tissues
were hardening.
Other physicians and surgeons were
called in, but they were never able
to stop the ravages OF the peculiar
malady. When Worden felt his jaws
becoming set, he placed small wedges
of wood between his teeth, and In
that position the lower portion OF his
face became rigid. In time the we'd
ges were removed and the teeth were
left about half an inch apart. Thru
the aperture he is fed liquid foods,
He can not masticate, but.she can
swallow liquids of any kind that are
put into his mouth.
Gradually the hardening went on
