GAME
AND SOCIAL DANCE
Local Team Shut Out by MOrristOwn
Yesterday Afternoon by
Five Runs.

The MOrristown and MObridge
baseball teams crossed bats on the
local diamond yesterday afternoon,
the game resulting in a shut-Out
for the locals and five scores for
the visiting team. The writer was
not present and is not familiar
with the details of the game, but
from general reports it would seem
that u boys were not in very
good shape for playing, the team
being only recently organized and
having had but little opportunity
to practice. And just as the game
had fairly got started the Mo
bridge teams pitcher was called
to 60 out on his train. There be-
ing no other twirler who is III
practice, Jas. Burns was compelled
to go into the box and do the best
he could. While the game was a
little One-sided, at the same time
it was a good exhibition of the
national sport and some interest
ing plays were made.
MOrristown has an excellent
team and the Mobridge boys feel
that they are not to be criticised on
account of being shut out. There
are no other teams in this part of
the state which a repeat the
dose. In addition to being good
ball players, the Morristown boys
are an excellent bunch of young
fellows and made many friends in
the city.
A dance was given in Dykeman's
hall in the evening in honor of the
visiting team and to provide funds
for the use of the team. The
affair was largely attended, a great
success socially and financially,
and all who we're present report
having had a royal good time.

that on March Goth | went to Ip-
switch to solicit signers to the petit
ton and was Informed that there
was 4 possibility of an Edmunds
county candidate and | had better

committee. This | did with the re-
suit that | left Ipswich March 9th
without asking a single man to
sign, but agreed to 90 and work

by that time they should have a
candidate | agreed to 90 home and
Mr.. Harris would withdraw. |
returned to Ipswich the evening of
the 2Sth and was told to 60 ahead
and circulate my petition, as they
would have no candidate. Yet |
met several men who minated
that there might be a possibility of

one seemed willing to go and ask
him nor even introduce me to him.

to his Office and he tried to per-
suade me he was not Mr.. Finch.
When told him the dog story he
said he would tie the dog up so
he would not give him away. /

persuade Mr.. Harris to withdraw.
If he were not a candidate | would
like to have his signature to Mr..

then, asking to see my petition.

port to Mr.. Harris March Both.
with the assurance that he was
then the only candidate Sc far as !

would have a good support. About
the middle of April | came down
here to Groton and was then in
formed by one Of the leading re-
publlcans of Ipswich that Mr..
Finch had decided to announce
himself. Mr.. Harris had then
filed his petition and could not
very well withdraw. Neither do |
understand that anyone of Ed
munds county who signed his peti-
ton wishes him to withdraw or
has at any time wished him to
withdraw. The same was the case
in WalwOrth county. 1t was not
a case Of ignoring Edmunds coun-
tvs rights, but to cater to the
wishes of a majority of the best
republicans of Edmunds county,
and | believe Mr.. Harris, if elect
ed, will look after the interests of
Edmunds county as well as to
WalwOrth and COrson counties,
and | believe the primaries in
Edmunds county will show that
they, too, have this faith in Mr..
Harris Yours very truly,

Fashionable Women No Longer Selec
Corsets by Waist Measurement

The present styles require the whole figure to
be molded to the correct lines and not merely here
and there. To wear the new cinging gowns, your
corset should be designed for your individual
figure; not your neighbours figure, though your
waist measure may be the same. -,

PARISIANA CORSETs

Are made according to this new method Of fitting
the whole figure. 1t is really wonderful what
a difference the right Parisiana model will make in
your appearance. Your mirror will reveal to you
how this corset will mold your whole figure to the
slender, graceful lines without strain or pressure
anywhere. These wonderful shaping corsets are
not high in ~price-$1.OO, $3.50, $500, $500 and
$500; imported silk fabrics cost more. Will you
call and have a Parisiana sent out for you to try
on? No obligations to keep the corset unless you
want to. Why not come in to-day?

BRETON PEASANTS.
They Always Treat Stranger With
Generous Hospitality.


In Brittany all peasants carry their
own knives, and, as for forks, they
have no use for them. George Whar-
ton Edwards tells in Brittany and the
Bretons" Of a visit to an inn where he
met with the proverbial Breton hospi-
tality.
An old withered Breton woman sat
at the fireside busily knitting at jer
sey Of blue wool, and three men sat at
table playing some sort of game with
dominos. The men gave no apparent
heed to our entrance, but l knew we
were being discussed in their patois.
We asked for bread. butter and a
pitcher of cider, which was forthcom-
ing, but no knives were brought. Not
| ing our predicament, the three men at
once produced their knives, immense
horn handled affairs, and after wiping
them very carefully and considerably
on their coat sleeves they opened and
proffered them to US.
And now, madame" said !, "what
shall pay you?"
Five sous for the cider, m'sieur.
There is no charge for the bread, for is
not that the gift of bon Dieu?"
Thus it is throughout this strange
land of Brittany. One may travel
from end to end away from the large
cities and everywhere meet with the
same hospitality. The peasant will
Willingly share with you what he has
in the cupboard and will not ask fol
pay.

high school students will have a
model athletic field as a result of
the generosity of Representative w.
B. Mckinley. Last night an offer
was made by Mr.. Mckinley to the
local board of education of a tract
Of land 444 by $50 feet in the west
part of this city. 1t is conveniently
situated in relation to the car lines
and can be made into an excellent
field for sports. Congressman Nc
Kinley also rendered 81 900 in cash
to be used in equipping the field
with bleachers and other improve
ments. The board of education, if
necessary, will increase this sum.
1t is planned to have a gridiron,
baseball diamond and running track
with a small clubhouse perhaps. II
the board of education does not de-
sire the site suggested Mr.. McKin-
ley offers $4,000 in cash to use in
purchasing land elsewhere. The land
suggested, however, is regarded as
suitable. Local high school teams
are sadly in need of such field.

much superior in tone to- similar instru-

point was debated by number of

Of the modern instrument. Six ancient

with six modern instruments. These

In order to make the acquaintance
of the ptarmigan it is necessary either
to journey into the SHOWS and ice of
the far north or to climb up to the
very highest glacier valleys among the
frozen peaks of the Rockies or Cas-
cades, where circumpolar conditions
are reproduced. While this curious
bird is essentially a subarctic type, it
is occasionally found among the iso-
lated fields of eternal snow as far
south as Colorado and northern New
Mexico.
The rock ptarmigan is a bird Of
storms and ice and raw mists and
bleak winds, in the summer gray as
the rocks among which he lives, in
winter white as the whirling SHOWS in
the midst of which he survives after
