CLAUDE WAGNER
IN HARD LUCK

If there was ever anybody
playing in hard luck, it is Claude
Wagner. He has lost two of his
thoroughbred mares and one of
his thoroughbred colts and now
has had to submit to an operation
for appendicitis and peritonitis.
During the ball game here on
Sunday, the 18th, he was not
feeling at all we'll and in a day
or so afterWard started on a visit
to his parents near Kalispell, but
after arriving there was taken
seriously i'll and an examination
revealed that he was suffering
with appendicitis and that an
operation was absolutely neces-
sary. He was so i'll that it was
feared the operation would be
fatal but it was all that could
save him, so was successfully
performed. The appendix had
bursted and peritonitis had set
in, adding much danger to the
chances of his recovery, but at
last accounts he was doing we'll.
Earl and Tom Wagner were
called to his bedside, Mrs. Wag-
ner having preceded them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Rouil-
lier, father and mother of Mrs.
Wagner, went up to Kalispell to
be in attendance also.
Claude's many friends here are
hoping that he will come through
all right and that this will be the
last of the bad luck which has
been following him this year.

band had treated the residents
of that place with several choice
selections the entire Roman dele
cation eagerly answered the call
of the dinner gong. Mr.. Swee
had arranged for the wants of
man in this respect and the din
ner was par excellent.
The game was called promptly
at 2::3O and was in many respects
an excellent exhibition. Roman
had the strongest team and won
the game easily, although the
Big Arm boys did some classy
playing. At the close of the 5th
inning the score stood 8 to 0 in
favor of Roman, but in the 9th
and part Of the 7th Romans new
pitcher, Archie Mcdonald. who
had not played for some time,
lost some of his snap and allowed
several hits. This, with loose
playing in the support, gave Big
Arm seven scores. About the
middle of the 7th Phil Hull went
in to the box and from this on
Big Arm scored goose eggs, the
game closed z to Is in favor of
Roman.
The Roman people all enjoyed
the trip, the auto ride and the
change to the boat making a
pleasant outing of the day. The
people of Big Arm treated their
visitors royalty and there appears
to be a general desire on the
part of those who made the trip
to return to the town of John P.
Swee at no distant date.

Big Arm-Ronan

Sunday the Roman team went
to Big Arm to play a return
game with John Swee's aggrega-
ton. The team was accompanied
by the Roman band and about
fifty rooters. The first auto loads
left Roman at Z o'clock and others
from then until close to 9 o'clock,
taking the boat at Poison at 10
o'clock. Big Arm was reached
about IL O'Clock and after the

LOSE FRIDAY,
WIN SUNDAY

The Roman base ball team lost
the hardest game of the season
last Friday to Poison, the score
being 8 to II at the end of the
tenth inning. The locals went
into the game in what looked
like a crippled condition, as
neither of the Wagner brothers
were able to play owing to the
severe illness of Claude Wagner.
Some entirely new men were
in uniform that day and it was
expected Poison would have a
walk-away, but up to the eighth
inning there was nothing to it,
the score standing 9 to 4 in Ro-
mans favor. Then the boys be-
gan to drop easy flies, which Or
dinarily would have been held
safely and Poison soon tied the
score, running the game into the
tenth inning. A home run was
made by Tom Brown in this in
ming with a man on bases and
Roman was unable to even mat
tiers in their half, Poison winning
the game.
Phil Hull pitched for Roman
and it was the best exhibition of
good pitching seen here in many
a day. He had everything that
day and with good support should
have had a shut out. The heavy
hitters of Poison famed every
time they were up and 18 strike
outs are credited to Phil for that
game. Errors alone lost the
game.
1t was really amusing to watch
Tom Brown, the heavy hitter of
the Poison team, fan the air.
He has been averaging over
500 at the bat this year and
but for a lucky moment would
have been batting zero all day.
The one he connected with for a
home run was the biggest scratch
he ever made, it being a wide
one and crooked as a snake.
The last inning was played
after it was too dark for a prac-
tice game even. Gilbert Bur-
land played a star game again,
getting a home run and clouting
the ball every time up. The box
score follows.

The second annual farmers
picnic held in Piedalue's grove
last Friday was a big success.
Fully 700 people were on the
grounds and they began to arrive
early in the day and by noon,
when dinner was eaten at a long
table, the throng exceeded ex-
pectations by a great many. The
excellent rain of the evening be-
fore had laid the dust and made
the day an ideal one for the pic
mic, and the farmers turned out
enmasse.
The stores and business houses
of Roman closed at noon, giving
everybody a chance to attend
and all took advantage of the
opportunity. The Roman band
was on hand and furnished some
excellent music, being compli-
mented on every hand.
After the dinner was over
short speeches were made. the
principal speakers being Hon.
James Harbert of Poison, pres
ident of the chamber of COM
merce of that town, and Hon. A.
j. Brewer of Roman. Mr.. Har-
bert takes advantage of every
opportunity to visit Roman and
besides being a genial fellow in
every way is a good talker and
the people are pleased to listen
to him. Mr.. Brewer made one
of his characteristic speeches and
as usual had the crowd with him.
After the speaking, the sports
started and the following won
the prizes offered:
Free-for-all foot race, 100
yards, Abner Irish 1st; Harvey
Roberts End.
Boys footrace, so yards, George
Piedalue, 1st; Bloomfield Irish

Ladies' race, Mrs. Schoonover

Three legged race, Irish team
1st; Roberts team End.
Centipede race, 100 yards; the
team composed of Abner Irish,
Phil and Tracy Hull, Field Rath-
bone and H. E. Billings won.
Egg and spoon race, the two
Ranmael boys took first and Sec
ond money.
Potatoe race,
Climbing creased pole, won by
Eugene Piedalue who climbed to
the can containing the money,
after desperate efforts having
been made by Eugene Potvin,
Edward Foster and Streeter
Hull.
The tug of war was won by
the farmers.
This ended the entertainment
on the picnic grounds and every
body came to town to attend the
ball game which was played at
six o'clock. being won by Poison
IL to 9, after 10 innings of play.
Everything passed off smooth
ly, the best of feeling prevailing
at all times. The farmers an
nual picnic in Roman will be
looked forward to hereafter and
is destined to become the annual
big event of the year. The Pho
neer commends the same to the
farmers and trusts nothing will
prevent the picnic being held
annually. 1t is one of the most
audable features which have
into the social life of the
reservation and is a means by '
which everybody becomes ac-
luainted with everybody else.
Next year the attendance will
oe double what it was this year
md succeeding years will find it
more and more attractive.

the man who lags. pulls back the
leader. If beef and butter are
too high, it may be because they
are not produced economically.
Therefore the consumer certainly
has the right to complain if the
farmer does not use economic
methods in his production.
There is produced every year
in this country sufficient forage
to feed literally all the live stock
of the land and leave a good bal
ance. The shortage each year
is due to spelling and wasting the
forage already grown. The
means of preserving this forage
will solve the stock problems of
this country. The principal
waste is in the corn plant. 1t is
most noticeable in the corn belt
states where over so per cent of
the stock and leaves of this val
liable forage are wasted. AS
economic stock production is de-
termined by the proper use of
forage, the silo furnishes a
means whereby all farm forage
can be preserved in the best pos
sible condition for feeding. The
silo is too we'll known to need
description, but it's use is gener-
ally sadly wanting. 1t can be
safely said, on any farm where
ten head or more cattle are kept,
a silo is a necessary equipment
and of great economic value.
Besides corn, excellent silage
may be made of alfalfa, clover,
oats, peas, rye, sorghum, kafir-
corn, millet and milomaize.
While corn is the principal crop
for silage, it is often made from
other plants, especially during
drought seasons, when excellent
and kaffir-corn can be
grown as a catch crop. The
first cutting of alfalfa hay dur
ing a wet season is often lost.
This could be put in the silo and
saved, and by feeding out dur
ing the summer months the
silo can be re-filled in the fall
with corn and kaffir-corn.
During recent years we have
a steady increase in the
price of hay; in fact, all forage
s higher, and it is necessary for
The stock keeper to produce a
forage at less money than hay,
f he wishes to realize a good
profit on his stock. In this ca
oacity the silo comes as a great
boon. "A. J.. Hacker.
