Beavers Can Lose All
Games and Keen Flag

By taking the first game or this
afternoons double header from the
Angels on the southern diamond the
Portland Beavers clinched the PEN
nant. They have yet IL games to
play, but they can lose every one and
still finish ahead Of the Tigers or the
Senators. even II these teams win all
their remaining games.
Portland has held the lead In the
pennant race for the last three
months. Mercedes men got of to q
very poor start, and for a time they
looked like tail enders. but just as
soon as their pitchers rounded to
form they started out and have dis
played the class ever since.

One of the questions continually
asked Ford dealers is how they are
able to secure Ford motor cars when
there is shortage of railroad freight
cars.
Investigation reveals the fact that
this Is accomplished because the Ford
company. after considerable expert
menting. figured out a plan for utiliz-
ing every inch of space In a box car.
Ford cars are shipped SIX to the
car. The stripped chassis are stood
on end in one end of the car. and the
bodies in the other. The WHEELS and
other equipment, carefully Grated to
avoid hreakage. is piled in between,
and when freight car pulls away
from the Ford loading sheds there Is
not a particle of vacant space in tt.
If it we're not for this method OF
loading the Ford company could not
deliver its enormous output. despite
the fact that thousands Of the cars
manufactured at Detroit are shipped
In knock down form to the various
assem- bling plants around the country.

Plucky Young Man

Garretson News: The state
dailies a few days ago had a
lengthy special telling of two
plucky young men who had beat
their way from Rapid City to
Seattle Wash One was the son
of Governor Byrne and the other
the son of the clerk of courts.
We have plenty of such plucky
young men in Garretson every
summer, only we do not SO desig-
nate them. We call them hobos,
tramps buns or such names.
The training these Rapid City
young men are now getting is
just what makes such as every
place is bothered with more or
or less every summer. 1t is just
as wrong to steal from a rail
road company asrit is from any
one else, and why it is that re.
putable papers should praise
these fellows for stealing is what
makes us tired. If there had
been a wreck and these fellows
had been killed it wouldn I
have read so nice in the obituary
that they were killed while
bumming their way.

Nowadays melodrama, taken
universally, although perhaps
unfairly as a whole, is repulsive
to many. Some playgoers will
no longer stand for the mortgage
steeling plot; they will not put
up with the proverbial mother
in law furnishing all the comedy;
nor will they remain content
with but half a dozen bloody
murders to fetch about a happy
reconciliation and grand finale.
The days of the barn stormers
are over. The william no longer
"pursues her" but has shaved
off his mustache, pawned his
walking stick, and taken the
"stage" or some other "vehicle'
to "Vaudeville."
A Bachelors Honeymoon is a
farcial comedy that is clean. full
of fun and just what people are
looking for. At the Bentley
