CATCHER DUDLEY MADE MANA.
GER.

As was expected Orth Collins wasre.
leased from the management Of the
Joy Riders, and Catcher Dudley has
assumed charged Of the team. for the
rest Of the season. Collins tried his
best to make the team play winning
ball, but it was not forth withcoming, so
his release was brought about.
No Improvement has yet been shown.
In four games played during the first
Of the week against the Hill Billies,
our pitchers twirled winning ball,
especially Perritt and McGhee, but the
first inning blowup that seems newt
able with the Joy Riders lost the book.
The only good exhibition was given in the
il ter end Of the double bill Monday
af' arnoon. In Wednesdays game, the
scott' deceive the class of ball given.
Green wood had coolies Of opportunity
Ia win after Dodson had raped a two
Dagger and a three Dagger but the
characteristic old stuff crawled up and
it was one, two and three.
The Greenwood boys need more pep,
even Moore and Rollins being on the
quiet most Of the week. To win ball
there will have to be more enthusiasm
shown by the club, The fans and the
officials are more than doing their part,
1t only being necessary to witness a
series Of games to understand why the
Joy Riders are in the cellar position.

AUTOMOBILE NOTES.

The bu2zing of automobiles and the
horn ''honk- honk" sounds good,
Automobiles can travel as far as
Sidon now; a Bush runabout made the
trip last Tuesday without mule power.
We see some new automobile owners
since the freeze. Their nerve is ad-
mired and We hope they will enjoy a
splendid season.
LefIore county can boast Of one road
one-half mile long. The road is built
of cinders ground into small Jumps and
spread on the road bed, which will en-
able an automobile to travel on same
365 days in the year. This experiment
IS being tried along by the Minter City
Oil Mill.
The Glidden Tour is routed through
this territory, and the road bunch will
have to get busy as soon as the flood is
over.
Walker and Mcdonald of the Delta
Garage were not aboard the Titantic
when she sunk and are still in business
to serve automobilists in their usual
manner. M.

President Taft met a crushing
defeat in Ohio primaries Tuesday.
Roosevelt carried the State BY
$4,000 and won 80 of the AZ dele
gate votes, While this looks like
Taft's defeat, he claims enough
instructed and pledged delegates
to nominate him. On the other
hand, Roosevelt says the result in
Ohio settles the nomination in his
favor. The bitter contest contin-
hes between these candidates,
and we will watch the
result with interest

 The outrageous tactics of the Taft machine reached a climax today in the Michigan state convention. Thru the assistance of Charles D. Warren of sugar trust notoriety, they put a bunch of 50 or 60 strong arm men with revolvers and clubs in the con- vention hall to bar out Roosevelt del egations. The mayor of Bay City Called on Governor Osborn for pro- lection, the governor ordered out the troops and cleared the hall. Taft men raised rough house. Two conventions held in the same hall at the same time, one instructed for Roosevelt, the other for Taft. Roosevelt forces won in the Fourth, Fifth and Ninth Michi- gan districts today giving six more delegates to Roosevelt column. Final returns from Illinois give special sig nificance to Roosevelt victory there Tuesday Roosevelt's total vote was 252,626, Taft's 122,97S, LaFollette 4O,- 95S, total Republican vote being 415,- 562 Total Democratic vote, 289,590. Republican majority, 126,972. This proves the solid republican strength of Illinois. Champ Clark, leading democratic candidate received 211, 1909 a majority of SS,S31 over Taft; this shows what Illinois would do if Taft and Clark were opposing candidates in the presidential campaign. Clark vote was 40,S17 less than Roosevelt's. This shows what Illinois would do if | Clark and Roosevelt were the candi- dates in the presidential campaign.

EGGLESS FOODS.
ongfeIlow.

When eggs are forty and fifty cents a dozen one feels inclined to look for dishes that call for few or no eggs. Here are a few for those of us who must economize:
 Oatmeal Cookies.-A cup of fine oat- meal (this may be made finer by put ting it through the meat grinder), a cup of four, half cup of lard or but ter and lard mixed, half cup of milk, two-thirds of a cup of sugar and a fourth of a teaspoonful of soda, dis solved in milk. A little grated lemon or orange peel and nutmeg, with flour enough to roll thin.
 Apple Sauce Cake.-A half cup of shortening, cup of sugar, cup of sifted apple sauce, a teaspoonful of soda, one and three-fourths cups ot four, and spice to taste. Add raisins or entrants if desired, and hake in small cakes or in loaf.
 Hot Water cingerbread.-Dissolve in cup of boiling water two tea spoonfuls of soda; add 8 cup of mo- lasses, a quarter of cup of melted shortening, and cinnamon, ginger, clove and nutmeg to taste. Use flour enough for soft batter and bake in small patty tins. These are delicious with apple sauce and cottage cheese for luncheon or dessert.
 Feather Muffins.-Take cup of milk, a tablespoonful of melted lard or butter, half teaspoon of salt, a ta- blespoonful of sugar and two tea spoonfuls of baking powder. Mix to- gether with flour enough to make a batter as stiff as an ordinary cake batter. Bake in muffin rings.
