A Good Word for AL Kuhns

Vote for A. J. Kuhns for State SEN
atOr, he will prove to be an excellent
preventative OF the people Of Lin.
cJln county. His opponent has held
two successive terms in the legislature
and is asking for third. Has he
proved to be such an able man that
he should have a life lease on the job?
We can't see 1T that way, in fact we
cannot find any good excuse for voting
for Hicks. AT the time that the
number of representatives from Lin
coin county was cut down from three
TO two, it was decided that as Mr.
Gemmill did not wish to hold the Of
flee Of State Senator for another term
and one of the representatives would
have TO go out, Gemmill's successor
should be chosen from the three rep
resentatives in order that all the
three should have the two terms al
lowed them by the written law of
the county. Hicks was chosen from
among the three to act as our State
Senator, was elected and served his
term. Now he comes up and says he
| wants another term. He will find
that the voters of the county will not
stand for him "hogging" the office.
Let's send some true representatives
to our next Legislature.-W -Worthing
Enterprise.

Increase In Taxes.

The total taxes on farm lands east
of Missouri river, in South Dakota,
in 1906 was 81, 242, $40, As; in 1912 81,
OOS, ,629 30 and in 1913 $4,72O,436.55.
Taxes more than doubled in six years.
The total state tax, in the state, in
1906 was S442 ,SO37S; in 1912 $1,4lS,015-
81: and in 1913 l,195, ,455.22. State
taxes about trebled in six years,
while the population has increased
less than 30 per cent and the 1913
state tax will not pay the state ex-
pense within S427, 900 according to
the state auditors figures. For the
present state regime to compare the
state tax of 1913 with 1912, when the
1913 tax is short of paying state ex-
penseS, and the 1912 tax is it's own
high water mark of expenditures, is
juggling. How about the increase OF
1862 new state jobs? Don't you want
to clean up the spoils system and
hold down taxes by voting for R. O.
Richards for governor at the primary
election, March Oath.

School Notes.

The following resolution adopted by
the Board Of Education has grown
out of a demand to protect, or at
least have regard for the wishes OF
parepts and school patrons concern
ing amusements that are frequently
INDUCED in at school childrens' class
parties. Many parents do not permit
their children to attend general pub
lie or select social functions where
dancing is part of the amusement
and it was decidedly their opinion,
and they are Unanimous In such
oninion. that the wishes and ideas OF
these parents should be regarded
while their children are attending the
local high school. After considering
conditions very carefully 1T was de-
cided to adopt the folioWlng resolu-
tion:
Whereas it is the sense of the Board
If Education of the Canton public
schools, that any social function given
under the name of high school class,
literary society or athletic club should
he at a place where either the parents
of the pupils, or else school instruct
ors have supervising authority IN
order that the social activities may
be regulated and restricted to certain
limits. as well as held within reason
able hours of adjournfng in the even
ing. Therefore be it resolved,
That we forbid the holding OF class
parties In public halls, ball rooms OF
down town auditoriums in the name
of a high school organization. And
be it resolved,
That any pupil, or group OF pupils
holding any social function in public
halls in or under the name of the
nublic school, to promote the socia
interest of any class or school organi
zation. and such social function shoulo
include any Objectionable amusement
shall be subject to indefinite suspen
sion. denial OF school credits ef ths
forfeiture OF such other school privli
eoes as the Board of Education MAY
see fit to impose for the enforcement
Of this order.

At the M. E. Church.

Perhaps the largest attendance
since the beginning of the conference
year was at the NJ. e. Church last
Sabbath morning, almost every seat
being filed. There was also a good
attendance in the evening. We we're
pleased to see goodly number of
country people present, and extend a
hearty invitation to all people from
the country.
Next Sabbath morning at 1890 the
theme will be; 1.-The Highway of
Life', in the evening it will be: 'The
Mount OF Temptation. This is the
second in a series of sermons upon
the general theme Mountain Top
Experiences of Jesus' In this series
we hope to set forth some of the e1-
periences and teachings of Jesus which
are of vital Importance to the life of
each Christian. The congregation
will be favored with singing by the
double quarteGte in the evening.
Every body should come and hear
them.
There will be preaching at the
Jones school house at $3.50 p. NJ. and
Sunday School at 2:3O p. 10. The
large attendance at these services last
Sabbath was an encouragement to the
workers. Let everyone In the com.
munity feel an interest in this work
which is for the moral uplift OF ou1
fellowmen.

caused the law to be passed by Con-

adopted whereby The National Gov

State laws all will hesitate long be-

Hon. A j. Kuhns Of Lynn town,
ship is one Of the pioneers of the
county. Ever active, ever progressive
in all Of his ideas. no man is better
able to properly represent this county
In the state senate than be. He is a
popular man everywhere in the coun-
ty and as state senator would be more
popular than ever, for he has an idea
that he Is sent there to represent the
people who will elect him, and it is
his desire to assist in passing such
legislation as them wish passed and
at the same time safeguard their
interests as well as the interests Of
the state and county. There Is no
question Of his ability, for he has
been in the legislature before quite
few years ago, and he will make
good now, even as he made good then,
and he will be one of the strong men
of the senate and one who will have a
great influence with his colleagues
He has ever been active In every cam
paign helping the other fellow get
elected and it is time that he was be-
ing favored q bit himself now. He
certainly knows the needs of his con.
stituency, having wide acquaintance
In every part of the county, in fact
everyone knows AL Kuhns and likes
him and there is some reason for his
popularity for he is a fine, clean, up
standing man, one whom it will be a
pleasure to vote for. He will get a
splendid vote down this way where he

Lincoln County Nature Study.

In the minds Of many, one of the
things that indicates the advance
made by the people of the United
States towards better things Is the
growing interest in the study and
preservation of birds and animals. 1t
Is only about forty years ago that
public sentiment allowed CONNER
cialized greed to wipe forever from
the face Of the whole earth that
magnificent bird, the Passenger
pigeon, the last survivor of which
race died in 1918 In the early seven
ties these birds were in vast hocks OF
millions and during migrations pas
sed in such nun oers that they shut
out the light Of the sun and In their
breeding grounds. so plentiful we're
they, that the roar of their wings
could be heard for miles Many are
still living who have observed their
fight and Jet these birds are gone
forever. The buffalo, about ten years
ago were threatened with speedy ex
tinction although not many years be
fore they were so plentiful that hun
ters killed them for their tongue and
hide alone and left their flesh and
bones to rot upon the prairies. The
AUX, Flamingo, Carolina Parrott,
several varieties Of waterfowl and
many other birds are either extinct
or near extinction. Who does not re-
member the time tweuty or mure
years ago when the musical whistle
and picturesque alighting posture OF
the Upland ployer were one of the
! most familiar sounds and sights OF
the prairies? Today some of these
birds still nest with us, but only a
few. Ten years ago that beautiful!
bird, the egret, frequented the
marshes of the Pacific and Atlantic
slopes by, millions. Now, thanks to
woman's thoughtless demand for the
| beautiful aigrette, the Egret's nup.
tial plnmes, only ragged remnant OF
this magnificent race remains, despite
the almost unbelievable cruelty prac
ticed in obtaining these plumes.
But better day is dawning. The
Passenger pigeon, AUX and some
other birds are gone forever. The
| future of the buffalo in the hands OF
the Governments of the United States
and Canada Is assured and in spite OF
the fact that the largest herd of buf-
faloes in the United States, the Phil.
| lips herd at Pierre, is about to be sold
we can rest assured that these magni
ficent animals will be preserved fol
all time. All our water fowl are now
protected by the new Federal law
The shooting of the Upland plovel

of the year is now absolutely prohibi.

aigrettes can no longer be brought

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-There is
possibility that the next Olympic
games will be held in America. There
has been no change in the decision TO
hold the games in Berlin in 1915, but
there are a number of reasons, and
good ones that might influence the
international committee to decide on
a change
The first and biggest reason is that
Berlin. even should the war be over.
would not feel like entertaining such
a gala occasion. with thousands
throughout Germany still in mourning
for the country's losses. Then, too,
it would be embarrassing to say the
least for athletes from defeated Allied
countries to go into Berlin to COM
pete. If Germany is beaten in the
war it would be embarrassing to re-
ceive athletes from victorious coun-
tries. OF course. if the war is not
over, there wouldn't be a chance for
the Berlin games, and it looks now
like the European nations will con-
tinue tearing at each others throats
for another twelvemonth.
Excepting Denmark or Sweden or
Italy there isn't another country that
could handle the games. Denmark
had them the last time. Sweden and
Italy might be too near belligerent
territory for comfort Ergo. as Doc

TOO MANY PLAYERS
makes CAME COSTLY
Baseball Teams Could Cut
Down Extra Lists and
Save Money
TEN PITCHERS WITH
EACH BIG CLUB

Those baseball moguls who are
shrieking about the high cost of base
balling could swat the aforemen-
toned high cost a lusty swat by us
Ing the pairing knife on their rosters.
It seems to be fashionable, but en-
tirely unnecessary for major league
clubs to carry from 25 to 30 men on
their pay roll all year long. Those
same clubs could get along Just as
nicely by carrying 20 players and no
more. Such a plan would annually
save the clubs about $4,000 in sal
aries and about $4,000 In travelling
expenses, a sum not to be sneezed
at In these parlous baseball times.
IL seems like bunk extravaganza
and folly for a baseball club 10 carry
more than 20 players at the very
most. The men who own the clubs
seem to think otherwise Just now but
some of these days when a strict en-
trenchment policy must be enforced
they will whittle their lists down TO
20 men and discover that those play
ers they discarded are not missed ex-
cept on pay days.
The average major league club now
carries about 10 pitchers. four catch
ers, six outhelders. six infelders. one
or two general utility men, a mana
ger. an assistant manager Tor COACH
and about two trainers.
A major league ball club could
operate and do so successfully-with
six pitchers, three catchers, four out
fielders. five inhelders. one general
utility man. one manager and one
trainer That would make a total OF
p men including the manager and a
trainer-l9 players.
The Boston Braves are a fine OK
ample of how much can be accom-
plished with few men. The Braves,
II is true. carried as many men on
its roster last year as any other team
but the Braves used fewer men after
Stallngs had decided on his combina-
tion than any other team.
Stallings. over a stretch of more
than two months used two catchers,
Ave inhelders and FIVE outfelders. In
the box he used only three pitchers
until the double header season came
along and even then he could have
gotten along very nicely with six
pitchers
The Athletics are another sample
OF how much can be accomplished
with few players The Athletics car
red about % players during the year,
yet Connie Mack could have accom-
plished the same thing with Is men,
for the other nine men did little else
than warm the bench during the en-
tire season.
What would happen TO a club car
rying only 20 men If It hit a streak
OF hard luck that laid up some of its
regulars2" is the natural gurshon for
as radical a suggestion as cutting the
, roster down to 20 men.
The answer is simple-"fll their
places with the extra men,
II the first baseman and second
baseman were laid up at the same
time the utility man could play sec
ond and the catcher could play first.
If two outfelders. two inhelders a
catcher and a pitcher. were rendered
hors de baseball at the same time, a
big calamity indeed-a club carrying
20 men wouldn't be so badly crippled
