Basket Ball Tomorrow Nioht,

These are the two contests in basket
ball for tomorrow evening in the high
school gymnasium.
The "glrls white tive' claim to be the
better players and we're chagrlned that
they lost last Saturdays contest by the
close margin of two points. In practice
they say they have always beaten that
"red team" And they expect to beat
tomorrow night!
The town team certainly played a
strong game last Saturday considering
the little practice they have had. They
expect not only to WIN the contest with
the high five tomorrow but with such
a high score that the highs will practice
more conscientiously and oftener in the
future. Drury, center on the high team
may not play in which case there is no
doubt but that the contest should be
still closer.
Friday night Is the night, the gym
nasium, the place and fifteen cents the
admission to witness the fray.
According to all indications this seems
ODE the last opportunity to see a Fri.
day evening game until February, 1913

As the mists of election clears away it
becomes more and more evident that
Frank o. Hellstrom made a phenomenal
ly good showing as the democratic
candidate for governor. Not another
democrat in the state could have secur-
ed so much more than a party vote,
John Burke excepted. This is a fair
gauge of his popularity and the esteem
in which be is held by his fellow citl-
zens. He was particularly strong with
the Scandinavians, and it is to this
element of our voters, the clear headed,
thinking, independent Scandinavians
that we must look for party's great
est increase in strength. No more
fitting recognition of Mr.. Hellstrom's
work for the party, his integrity, ability
and fitness by the Scandinavian people
can be given than by selecting him for
U. S. Marshall to succeed Mr.. Shea.
The work Is somewhat along the line of
public work which Mr.. Hellstrom has
been conducting for the past six years.
The state is proud of the splendid re-
suits he has obtained in placing the in
stitution which was under his charge
among the most modern and progressive
in method in the whole country. He
has proven a %splendidly capable public
servant, we'll worthy of trust, and to
show appreciation by urging President
elect Wilson to select him as marshal
would be a very fitting act on the
part of democrats everywhere in the
state. To show Mr.. Hellstrom's populari-
ty in concrete form it is but necessary to
say that he received two thousand more
votes in the state than Mr.. Wilson did
at the late election. Quite a number of
names have been mentioned in connec-
ton with this Office but these parties
should unite in asking recognition of
Mr.. Hellstrom's services at the hands of
Mr.. Wilson when he takes ohice.-Bath-

According to a report from Ameri-
can Consul General Grif6ths Of Lon
don, a method Of making artificial rub
Der has now been perfected, and the
new product will cost less than half
that charged for rubber nowadays. If
true this will give the grand bounce
to the rubber trust. 1t will also glad
den the heart Of the automobilist, give
a new springiness to the step of the
man who wears overshoes, gum boots
or rubber heels and put joy in the
soul Of the small boy with a bean
shooter.
A description of the new process is
interesting. 1t is thus described by
Mr.. Grifiths:
In order to produce rubber commercially
1t was necessary, it was stated, to discov-
e- a cheap source Of isoprene. Coal, Pc
troleum, wood, sugar and starch were
considered. Finally starch from grain or
tubers was chosen at a price Of less han
a penny e cents) per pound, and it was
found that isoprene could be readily OBJ
tanned from fusel oil, which is a byprod-
uct of ordinary alcoholic fermentation of
starch. 1t was Indispensable also to dis
cover a cheap way Of making fusel oil.
and after a year and a half, it is claimed,
q process has been disclosed which will
enable fusel oil to be produced at s17O to
$21S per ton as against a normal market
price of about 1851 per ton.
Long live ''isoprene," also long live

ter, the ~discoverer of the new method.
Let us hope that when we buy a pair
Of artificial rubber overshoes hereafter
they will not spring aleak the next day,
as has happened occasionally with real
rubber ones. Also let us hope that ar
dfcial rubber tires will not blow up

ton; fourteen miles from a garage.
OF late years rubber prices have
been so elastic that they have stretched
many a poor motorist almost to the
breaking point. With this new discov-
cry we can maybe buy new tires
without mortgaging the farm.

BAPTIST SERVICES
keep Up Interest
NO SERVICES TONIGHT, But
CAMPAIGN WILL CONTINUE
ON SUNDAY.

Last night found a good sized audi
ence at the Evangelistic campaign
at the First Baptist church. A spirit
of deep interest was manifested by
those present and the service proved
very helpful.
Mr.. Weatherwax led the congrega-
ton in a lively song service and de-
votional part of the service was
especially good and showed that many
who took part were In earnest con-
corning the success of the campaign.
The solo sung by Mr.. Wealherwaxl
was one that touched the hearts or
the listeners and added much to the
power of the service. The people are
approaching very much these solos
which are being sung during tho
services.
The sermon OF the evening was
preached by Rev. Bruce E. Jackson.
upon the subject. The Tragedy OF
the One-Talent Man. The speaker
showed that in all realms OF life that
when power is not used it is taken
away. The talent wrapped up in a
napkin soon is removed. There is no
such thing as standing still In life;
either w are using the power given
is OF God along all lines and advanc-
ing in ability and strength or thai
power Is being taken away. Mans
greatest heritage is the spiritual pow
ergiver him of God, that which en-.
ables HIM to grow IN character. Fail
ing TO make use of that power, it
gradually decreases and finally is TAX
en- away.
The greatest enemy to the spiritual
life of man is Indifference to Gods
claim upon the life. People don't so
wrong because they start out with
that idea, but because they are indif-
ferent to Gods call to the good.
The sermon closed with an appeal
to those present to surrender their
lives entirely in Gods hands.
There will be no service tonight, as
this is rest night for the workers.
But the campaign will be carried OH
Sunday in all the services. Mr..
Weatherwax will have charge of the
music and Mr.. Jackson will speak in
the morning on "The Second Mile"
and in the evening, on The Pool OF
Behasda.'

A WHITE HOPE.

Mobs are seeking novelties. Old
fashioned hanging bees are growing
m%onotonous. Even the fiery stake is
losing its charm through too frequent
exhibition. 1t is not long since it
was reported that a Georgia mob had
tied a negro to a railway track to be
run over by a train. A Florida mob,
on Thursday. took Preech Nellis, a
negro, into an open space. He was
told to run, and when he AN, more
than a hundred men opened fire on
him. The Ocala dispatch naively
says: He was shot to pieces
This, however, was not new, any
more than burning at the stake is
new. Burning was done by the In.
dians when in the savage state, but
In the burning OF the negro at Pur.
cell, Okla, the C%hickasaw Indians,
who are numerous Whereabouts, refus.
ed to participate. A finer proof OF
the Indians advancing civilization
could not be offered than this evidence
that he Is now so far advanced that
he refuses to revert under strong
temptation, to the barbarism of his
fOrefathers. This leads not Olly to
the hope, but to the confiednt belief,
that the Indian would be equally
strong to resist a temptation to re.
vert to that form of barbarism. pop.
ular with his ancestors, of releasing
Il prisoner, with a command to run,
and then filling his body with arrows.
1t Is many years since Indians were
guilty of such barbarities. y
They would still be barbarities, as
methods of execution, even after con.
victlon Of the most heinous crime. In
the case Of Preech Nellis, he had not
been given so much as a preliminary
examination. Charged with a double
murder in the preparation Of an UNI
speakable crime, there can be no
doubt that, even on nothing more
than prima facie evidence, he would
have been convicted and made to suf-
fer the penalty of the Florida law, in
that impressive way to inspire both
respect and terror in the criminally
minded. But for the purpose of max
ing a savage holiday, he was denied
Il trial, and made the victim Of such
inllumanity as always arouses hate,
resentment and new crimes, instead
of respect and dread. We trust that,
in time, all of the whites OF this
country will be as we'll civilized as all
of the Indians now are. No white
man need despair Of attaining civil
ization while he has the high example
of the Indian before him.-St. Louis
