outfelding candidate on. the Sox
roster. But again the jinx was on the
job.
LaEry's leg was injured and blood
poison developed. His case became so
serious that for time it was feared
the leg would have to be ampUtated.
ChappeIl finally recovered, but has
not been in shape to play all season.
He was used in few games as pinch
hitter, but could not use his leg with
enough speed. His ultimate recoY-
cry, however, is assured.
Some person., alleged to be close
to Comiskey (some one like that al
ways bObs up when there is a discus
siOn) gives the SoX presidents side
of the matters. He claims the out
fielder never gave his. best services
to the team. ...
It is pointed out that .ChappeII, aft
er being purchased last fall, did not
report Immediately, 'pTeferring to
entertain hick town with stories Of
his proWess rather than report in
Chicago and show some of his
goods"
Which remark, in the light of
FunoTs afoat at the time Chappeu
reported, is distinctly unfair. Larry,
it was understood, had a big bruise
on his leg that caused him pain every
time he moved. The wound was raw
and had to be bandaged before every
game. .sT~.
Notwithstanding this, ChappeIF was
sent into the game and kept there for
a time, because he had been adVertis-
ed in the newspapers and had been
brightly played up as the main attrac-
ton of a freak show in a circus.
Playing in this condition did not do
ChappeH any good. Naturally he
couldn't do his best and was handi-
capped from the start. "
No matter what ChappeII does, it
will be hard to convince any one who

Lyric motion picture theater, having
been found guilty in circuit court by

the operation Of a moving picture

The case has been appealed and will
be carried to the highest courts. Will
nicipal court, held that if a motion pic
ture house had a license to operate in
the city that no action could be
brought under this statute, inasmuch
as the section under which this com
plant was brought did not refer to
Sunday any more than to any other
day. The other motion picture houses
tried by Acting Judge Wallace had
such licenses, but the Mcpherson case
was bound over to circuit court by
Of the municipal bench. In his in.
structions to the jury Judge BouciI
held that no license granted would be
binding in this case, as the showing of
a motion picture play on Sunday was
illegal under the Sunday closing law
and no license could be granted for
the performance of an illegal act.

Pierre.-The circle at the head Of
the ballot having been abolished by
law, the voters Of South Dakota are
for the first time called upon to place
a cross in the square beside the name
of every candidate for whom they wish
to vote. 1t is not expected that much
confusion will result from the elimi
nation of the party circle.
Under the old law the use Of the
circle was optional. being only for
those who wished to vote straight
ticket. To make sure OF casting le-
gal ballot large portion of the vot
ers in former elections have voted by
making a mark before the name of
each candidate of their choice and
have let the party circle severely
alone.
1t is not believed. therefore, that
the circle will be greatly missed. al
though the man who has always voted
a straight party ticket will find that it
will take him q little longer to mark
his ballot.

The yellow flag with the double

This is used only by the navy, and is
not allowed to be flown by private
individuals.
The ordinary Russian flag, similar

four year men, professionals, altering

serious charge was that OF altering

Windbreak Ideas.


Brookings. -Windbreaks for fruit
trees should not be located too near
the fruit. according TO Prof. n. E.
Hansen, who answers a query from
Jerauld county farmer. He states:
Fruit trees are usually not bene-
fitted by having a windbreak on all
sides unless a considerable distance
away, so that the fruit trees are not
hurt by too much protection or by
the roots Of the forest trees taking all
the moisture that should go to the
fruit. In other words, 1t is good to
break the force Of the wind, but the
windbreak must be a considerable dis
tance away A good windbreak would
be a row of plum seedlings, since they
are inclined to be low and bushy and
stop the severe wind sweep. An open
space may be left on the north and
west at least six rods. and on the out
side of that may be planted a row or
two Of some windbreak such as the
Siberian Caragana, Russian Olive. or
Ural Willow, all Of which tend strong
ly to stop the drifting snow that set
ties in the open space. This is call
ed snow trap AS to whether there
should be windbreak on the south
is a disputed question. In regions ex-
posed to the southwest winds. some
shelter Of this kind would check eXceS-
sive evaporation. Some experienced
orchardists believe that no windbreak
at all for orchards is best at least in
an orchard of any size. In other
words, that the best windbreak for an
apple orchard is another row Of apple
trees, especially Of some extra hardy
variety like the Duchess or Hibernal
apple, or Florence crab"
