Low WAGES for Riskinq Life.

Cleveland Leader. In Germany
there are so many flying machines
that the mel who operate them have
an organization OF their own, called
the League of German Aviators. This
league has enabled the "birdmen' to
make a concerted demand for higher
pay or higher minimum wages. Fam
GUS flyers, no doubt. get all that they
ask. The sum demanded is exceed
ingly modest, all things considered. 1t
is only 800 marks a month. which
means less than SIS.
That is what the German aviators
think the least noted and least popular
mel OF their craft ought to get for
rfsking their lives every time they
work. It is the limit fixed for taking
long chances with death in the ordi-
nary course Of their occupation.
Some of these flying men, il seems,
have been paid as little as $50 marks
a month, or about S37. That is not
much more than a dollar a day, and
although 1t is true that several days
may pass when no exhibitions are
given and no use is made of aeroplanes,

Kindred Took slow one.

Abercrombie, N. D., July 30.-Kindred
defeated the A-bercrombie baseball
team last Sunday at Kindred in a
rather poorly played game, score Z to
Q. Otis for Kindred pitched a fine game,
striking out twelve men and allowing
My FIVE hits, one of these being a
home run by Vooes, which was the
only real feature, OF the game. Tingle-
stad was not up to his usual form,
several safe swats being collected off
his delivery. Vooes pitched the last
three innings and did wonderfully
well, one hit was all that Kindred
could squeeze out from Vooes' delivery.
The game was a long one, three hours
being the time required to draw 1t to
a close. This was mostly due to the
continuous wrangling. The deciding
game will probably be played next

distance. Be not alarmed gentle
