Rag Chewing Ends in a Tie.

Before the largest crowd OF the
season the locals and the fast Spring
field base ball club crossed bats on
the association diamond Sunday after
noon. During the early innings OF
the game the fans were treated to
some real base ball. bat towards the
end of the game it developed in a rag
chewing match. The fans were dis
gusted with the conduct Of some OF
the players. The sooner the players
rel alize that true base ball fans come
down to the ball park to see a ball
game and not to listen to an argument
with the umpire the better it will be
for the entire base ball team and base
ball in this city in general.
"Big Bill'' Pfeifer started to do
the twirllng for the locals, but in the
fourth inning the Springfield boys
went after him with hammer and
tongs and bombarded him with fusil-
lsde of hits. Before the smoke had
cleared away four runs had crossed
the plate. HUM was called in to take
Pfeitfer's place in the pitchers box
sui pitched a good game. HUM is q
good pitcher and should be given an
opportunity to work oftener than he is.
The fielding of both teams was ragged
at times. Limmy Puhlmann was in
the box for the visitors and pitched
good ball. The feature Of the game
was Huhn's home run drive in the
tenth inning. This vas one OF the
longest hits ever seen on the local
diamond. By agreement the game
was called at the end of the tenth in
ming with the score tie. Final score
10 to 10.

Review Of Work Done Unirer-
sity Week

University Week closed in blaze
of success with the presentation of
the drama, "Judah," by the Univer-
sity Dramatic Club Turner hall au-
ditorium was more than comfortably
filled when the curtain rose on the
first scene, Saturday evening, and tho
the waits between the acts were
longer than the audience is accus-
toned to little impatience was ex-
pressed and the general verdict was
the production was worth the wait
ing. While there was not great
deal of material upon which to build
drame, the entire action hinging
upon one motive, it was a remarkably
strong play, one that held the audi
ence and presented to them force
fully the intense love of the truth
that is inherent in the Celtic vision
ary who hears voices commenting
or rebuking his slightest act. A
workaday world does not quite grasp
the visions of the mystic nor UNDER
stand his anguish when he has done
wrong but the players evidently ap-
preciated the parts they were play
ing for they succeeded in making
them real. The cast as whole was
good and the leading parts were more
than we'll done. Miss Emile Eggen
played the leading woman's part. She
also gave program of dramatic
readings at the afternoon meeting
Saturday.
Of the purely instructive, lectures
given during the week, the one by DR..
Burt l.. Newkirk was probably the
most interesting for he told of things
that were entirely new to practically
every one of his hearers and by
means of practical illustrations of
the workings of the Gyroscope sue
ceeded in making very plain to his
audience what he was trying to ex-
plain. 1t is not often that a lee
turer succeeds in showing so dis
tinctly what he is try to to teach but
his address had been carefully work
ed out from the simplest examples
up to the most complicated and his
audience found themselves with very
clear ideas of the workings of the
monowheel car and the gyrocompass.
Preceding DR.. Newkirk's lecture NOV
ing pictures were shown, which were
most interesting, showing the jelly
fish and other minute creatures of
the sea. -. .sa
The speakers in the debate on So
cialism were clever but it is to be
regretted that they did not touch up
on the fundamentals of the question
debated. The audience were looking
for actual arguments for and against
the principles of socialism and all
they got was a discussion of public
ownership with not word as to the
basic principles of the movement or
the opposition to it.
DR.. Craig gave an afternoon audi
ence Friday a delightful hour of Sou
thern stories Of the Uncle Remus or
der. DR.. Craig spoke with plea for
the South and the problem it has to
solve in connection with the negro.
Miss Edna S. Fischer of the Mankato
Normal showed parents and teachers
the value of right games for the chill
dren and proved that games develop
the faculties quite as well as work
and study does, teaching the child
self-dependence and decision. The

er greatly enjoyed it all and seemed

June Settlement

OF the sa12, .l3 tax levy for 1912,
a total of sl3l, ,6O4.3O was collected
between the March settlement and
June lst. This is 81, ,65l % more than
was collected in the same period OF
time last year. Immediately after the
last DAY for paying taxes had expired,
Co. Auditor Vogel anu Co. Treasurer
Berg set to work on the June settle
ment and managed to have this ready
for submission to the State Auditor
by Wednesday of last week.
The mortgage registry tax amounted
to 1892 IA, the delinquent taxes and
penalties to s492 4s and the balance
was received tor current taxes.
Itmay be of interest to note that
OF the taxes thus collected, less than
twice as much was apportioned to the
various school districts for educa-
tional purposes as was app0rtioned
to the State for all purposes. Another
noteworthy fact is that as much was
raised in taxes to run the County as
was apportioned all told 10 the cities,
villages and towns OF the County.
New Ulm receives SO, "a which is
almost one-third Of the total taxes
levied for town and municipal pur-
poses. OF the s3l, ,653.79 raised for
this purpose, Golden receives only
81 As. In the matter of the app0rtion-
ment for school purposes New Ulm is
also in the lead, receiving within
$1,000 as much as Sleepy Eye and
Springfield combined.
The taxes collected as shown by
the June settlement we're apportioned
among the various funds as fOllOWs:

Moon elundsrs.

The moon, 1t seems, is responsible
for more authors "howlers" even than
nighHngales. Baroness 0rczy in pet
,ticoat Government" draws a beautiful
picture Of a crescent moon rising over
the treetops in the far eastern sky at
II o'clock on June evening. The pic
ture Is SO nice that 1t is pity to de-
stroy 1t, but the invention is prepos-
ferrous. Lucas Malet errs in similar
fashion in one of her novels. Miss
Stevens in "The Yeil'' speaks Of the
new moon being seen at sunset pray
er, "a thin slip in the east" A little
study would show that when the moon
rises at sunset it must necessarily be
a full moon or nearly so. In the same
book the full moon rises and sets again
withina period of two hours. whereas
the full moon is. Of necessity, an all
night moon.--Book News Monthly.

most important questions Of the age.

In this country as well as in many
others children are compelled by the
state to attend school until certain
age Is reached. Up to the age when
children can leave school the state
should be responsible for their health,
according to Professor Irving Fisher
Of Yale university. Likewise the state
should be responsible for their mental
training and should recognize the fact
that the schoolhouse Is more than 9
place for the children to spend a few
hours day for ten months of the
year. @
Better than the ordinary school is
the outdoor school, which is now so

GIRLS ON ROOF PLAYGROUND.
fresh air schools have been established
/ children suffering from certain forms
of tuberculosis Or who come from tu-
bercular families have gained In
strength and health and have showed
better mental development.
Besides the good effect on children's
health, it has been found that children
attend school more regularly when 1t
is conducted on the outdoor plan.
One of the greatest needs Of Ameri-
can cities today in order to preserve
the vitality Of children is the estab-
lishment Of Fairgrounds, easily acces-
sible to all children Of community.
It Is said that the physical and mental
are inseparably Joined together, and If
one Is defective the other will suffer in
sympathy. It appears impossible to
develop the child physically in any
way so effectively as through active
play. Formal gymnastics can accom-
plish relatively little. The child must
have some end to gain that arouses it's
enthusiasm and demands agility and
strength and endurance. Then its
whole bodily mechanism will work to-
gether in harmony to secure this end.
Even If Fairgrounds were Of no
value Is social development they would
still be Ut inest1mable service In keep
ing ch!ssAren out Of crime. If boys
energies are not used up In wholesome
activity they will often find expression
in illegitimate conduct.
There is a movement on foot in
Washington among those interested in
the welfare Of the school children
which bids fair to solve In many in
stances the problem Of lack Of play
ground during their recesses for the
pupils Of the public schools, problem
which, owing to the neglect Of the
school authorities of former years to
provide sufficient space for the greatly
increased number Of scholars, has in
very many cases become most seri-
GUS one.
The solution Of the trouble, as pro-
vided by the movement, is to appro-
pirate certain portion Of the street
during the recess time.
The proposed plan is to set aside &
block Of the street roadway during the
recess time by means Of ropes that can
be readily adjusted to poles set in the
curb in few seconds. The barrier
could thus be erected or removed by
some Of the older pupils almost instant
". It would not extend across the
sidewalk.
