PARCELS POST
SCALES sent HERE
LARGE CONSIGNMENT OF PAR
SELLS POST SCALES SHIPPED
TO FARGO FOR DISTRIBUTION
AMONG PosToFFIcEs OF
NORTHWESTERN STATES.

A large consignment of the new
parcels post scales for the postoffice
department was shipped to Fargo for
distribution among the postoffices of
the northwestern states. There are
about 500 sets of scales in the on
signment.
The new parcels post scales regis
ter twenty pounds. The old postof-
flee scales used in all the offices of
the government never registered more
than five pounds, as -four pounds was
the limit of weight of packages sent
through the mails until the passage
of the parcels post act.
From the Fargo ~postoffice Post
master Plumley will distribute these
scales among the postmasfers of
South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana
and Washington. This shows the inn
portance of the Fargo postoffice,
which is one of the few first-class
postoffices for a town of this size in
the nation.

NORTH DAKOTA AHEAD
j. A. Wye Thinks This State is Lead
ing in Many Ideas in the Way
of Agriculture.

j. A. wye, Of The st. Paul Dis
patch, was a business visitor in the
city yesterday afternoon and paid a
visit with his friend Thomas Cooper.
of the North Dakota Better Farming
association at the rooms in the de-
Lendrecie building, Mr.. WYE was on
his way tx attend the West Central
Development league conference at
Willmar, MINI, and was just returns
ing from attending a big farming
meeting at Wadena.
II find that the agitation that has
been going on over North Dakota and
| Minnesota for the betterment of the
farming interests has been of great
benefit said he. 1T has been fully
demonstrated thai scientific farming
will bring about the very best of
results and the experiment has been
one that is beyond the trial stage. |
am glad to hear that the North Da-
kota Better Farming association has
agreed to increase its activities dur
ing the coming year. for 1t is certain
that this state is looked Upon as away
ahead in many ideas concerning farm
ing. We are not slow either in the
! state of Minnesota and expect to do a
great deal OF work along the better
farming ideas in our state next sea-
son.

sramme to Make Schedules
on Roads Slower.

1t was understood that all of the
railroads running trains to the coast
through Fargo would change their
schedules, but it is now understood
that this has been abandoned.t
Yes, ii was the intention to change
the time" said a railroad official who
was passing through the city this
morning. In fact, this was to have
been done last Sunday and the date
was again fixed for next Sunday, but
from what ! can hear it has been
abandoned. The idea was that many
of the roads desired to increase their
running time during the winter
months, but of course unless all went
into the scheme this would not work.
When the matter al presented two
or three of the roads put up the plea
that their time was slow enough and
refused to increase the running time,
so that all had to continue the old
schedule"

years. and but for the accident with which

he tore a muscle In his side. he would
probably have annexed several victories.
The chances are that Cashion will be
kept in right field. The big fellow is
making good in that position, not only
fielding satisfactorily, but he is proving
himself most dangerous hitter. In two
of three games he has played he has
made long drives which have Melted
runs, and it is figured that by playing
regularly his stick work will further i'm
prove. A player Of the Cashion type Is
of great value to a team, for he never
faces pitcher that he is not apt to
break UP the ball game with a drive to

It is likely that George or James will do

BY J. ED aR1LLo.

That the present system Of compiling
base-running averages is manifestly un-
fair to the weak hitter Is being agitated
for the purpose Of having 1t changed.
The present system is to strike an aver
age by dividing the number OF games
played by the number OF bases stolen,
which, Of course, gives a great advan-
tage to the good hitter, who reaches first
the most. for first base must be reached
before a base can be stolen.
A man like Cobb, who makes $50 hits
during season, not to speak of the num-
Der Of times he walks and reaches his
base by reason of errors, certainly has an
advantage over a player who may be a
better base runner, but does not get to
first as often.
1t Is argued that 1t would be much fair
er to consider the number Of times a man
reaches first when trying to find his
base-stealing average, for this would give
the weak hitter an equal chance with the
star sluggers.
Reports from Philadelphia are not en-
couraging for those who are anxious to
see the Athletics repeat in the race. There
is no immediate hope Of Coombs return
ing to the game and Connie Mack has
decided not to attempt to work Chief
Bender until the real warm weather sets
In. The Indian is suffering with lame
arm. and II he should be forced to work
now II might put him out Of business
for all time. Mack figures that 1t will
be best to give Bender all the rest pos
sible In the hope that he will come along
with a rush at the end of the season.
Unfortunately, however. Mack has but
one pitcher who can be relied upon to
hold his own just now, and that Is Plank.
All the others. including Morgan, are In
and out performers. SO that the chances
are the champions will continue to slump
for quite q while yet
The California state board OF health
recommends base ball as preventive
Of illness. and in recent bulletin the
leading article states the following:
within another month the street car
service on the lines to the ball grounds
will have to be increased. This is as II
should be. 1t is fortunate and inevitable
that the nation should go to the game.
Consider the individual-he has drop
ped for the moment his disappointments
Of the past and anxieties for the future;
he Is sitting on bench in the elastic air
and cheering sunshine: he has a sense OF
comradeship and equality with other hun
dreds; he reacts to the muscular activity
of making noise with his feet and his
lungs; the traffic in oxygen and food sup
ply for which his blood exists is brisk,
and he goes home with a good appetite
and prepared for refreshing Sleep"
Indications are that the New York
Giants will have an even easier task OF
winning the National League pennant
this year than last. McGraw has his
team working in wonderful form and 1t
does not seem possible for any of its
rivals to stop its rush toward the cham
pionship.
Base running is again the feature OF
the Giants play, and critics insist that
the team is more proficient in this re-
spect this year than 1t was last, when 1t
easily led all the other teams in the

The Maps total was made possible by a

Maps at the time. Akers tried to sneak
