matter, the county and district fair
is the era of the automobile.

any means, but it has largely tax
en- the place of the cars as mean
of reaching the fairs.
The problem of caring for tn.
people in place where so many au
tomobiles are used has been rapid
ly growing one with the state board
of agriculture for a number of years
Officers count it great good luck they
have escaped any bad accidents in
the motor crowded avenues of the
state fair. This year for the first
time they have set off a large field
for the storage Of the autos; and It
is already demonstrated that this
was wise move, for the autos are
bringing the people by the thous-
ands. Your correspondent and an Of
fetal casually Investigated yester-
day, and found there were literally
thousands of them here and that
they have brought exhibitors and
visitors from almost every section of
the state. And they come from 9TH
er states, also, for autos were seen
bearing plates from Illinois, South
Dakota, Minnesota and Michigan.
Your big livestock man who starts
out to make the round of the fairs

Of train schedules.
The state fair program commenc-
ed yesterday. After a few days of
lowering temperature, which was
just right for installing livestock ex-
hibits, the wind changed and the
fair, officials are pleased with the
outlook for a good fair week.
There is nothing about the fair or
about the crowds of exhibitors and
visitors to suggest that the war in
Europe causes the least disturbance.
At no place can it be detected that
the trouble has decreased interest in
the fair and it's features. There will
be the usual list of races, vaudeville,
flying, lectures, demonstrations.
stock judging and special features.
With additions to the grounds made
in recent years and the erection of
new buildings still there does not
seem to be room for everything and
the Iowa fair is already crowding
the fences all around.

White SOX AGAIN
LOSE TO STORM LAKE
The Score was 4 to 2.-Webster CITY
49, Boys in a Hard Luck
Stunt.

In a hard luck game played al
Storm Lake Friday, the White
Sox lost by a four to two score. Pet
erson, who twirled for the locals
only allowed one hit. The White
Sox made their two scores in the
sixth inning. When Storm Lake
came to bat in the seventh, the first
man poled a hit, the only one made.
The next batter struck out. The
third hit foul which was caught,
making two men down with one man
on bases. Peterson then slowed up
for minute and walked three men,
scoring one, when the hard luck took
place. The seventh man to bat hit
to short center. DeCamp made a
line run for the ball and managed
to just touch it, but in so doing
knocked it to one side and the ball
was lost in the weeds, allowing
three more scores. This lead gave
the game to Storm Lake, as the Sox
could not make another tally. The
batteries were Crawford and Miller,
Peterson and Fromme.
The same teams are playing again
in Storm Lake today.
In the ball game Saturday at
Storm Lake between the team there
and the White Sox of this city, an
other element of hard luck entered
the contest and allowed the Storm
Lake team to win by a one to moth
ing score, the game taking thirteen
innings to decide. Smith, who
pitched for the White Sox, allowed
only four hits in thirteen innings,
two of these coming together in the
thirteenth and making the lone tai
ly of the game. Webster City made
twelve hits off Ellert, but even then
could not score. Seven of these hits
were made BY DeCar,p and Peterson
and the twelve hits were kept scat
tered by Ellert, although several
times there were men on bases with
only one out. The Storm Lake play
ers admit that every particle of luck |
that enters ball game was with
them in Fridays and Saturdays
games with Webster City and that
1t broke against the White Sox.

Greatest Event
in Wonlan's Life

All human experience looks back to
motherhood as the wonder of wonders.
The patience, the fortitude. the sublime
faith during the period Of expectancy are
second only to the mother love bestowed
upon the most helpless but most marvel
Gus creation-a baby.
Women are quick to learn from each
other those helpful agencies that aid to
comfort, that conserve their nervous
energy and yet are perfectly safe to use
and among these they recommend
Mothers Friend"
1t Is entirely an external application
designed to lubricate the broad, fiat
muscles and skin that protect the
abdomen. 1t has been in favorable use
for nearly half q century and is known
to mothers in almost every settled COM
munity IN the United States who highly
recommend 1t. You will find 1t on sale
in drug stores. Mothers Friend" is
utterly harmless, contains no deadening
drugs and yet its influence in the skin
and muscles beneath as also upon the
network Of nerves beneath the skin is
very beneficial, very soothing and a
wonderful help. The muscles expand
naturally and are not subjected to unnec-
essary surface strain and pain.

hand, were dubbed the '1owly Braves"

Tinker to Evers to Chance" by
word in baseball circles for years as
representing the speediest fielding on
the diamond in the production of dou-
Bile plays, has been supplanted by the
relay "Maranville TO Evers to
Schmidt" The combination play Of
the old Cubs infield has at last been
bettered, largely through the assist
ance of one of its members, Johnny
Evers, now playing the keystone sack
for Boston. Evers and Maranvile go
into the world series with ono of the
Io1st remarkable fielding records in
the history Of the game. Within ten
days of the close of the National
league season, this pair had figured
in nearly 100 double plays.
Evers, playing an improved game at
second base, has nevertheless been
outshone by his younger club mate.
Maranville took part in S5 of the dou-
bic plays carried off by the Braves, a
a worlds record. With the more nu-
merous opportunities that were de-
veloped by shortstop position, he was
responsible for the inception of 53
Of these plays. This betters by a
dozen the record of 43 double plays
for several years by Fletcher of the
New York Giants. Maranville has
been middleman in 26 of these com
bination plays, and at the receiving
end of six. With fewer opportunities
Evers has taken part in 65 double
plays, has started %, made the put
out and assist in 33 and has finished
nine. "Maranville to Evers to Schmidt"
in that order, has been the way of 81
double plays. Thirty-nine have been
accomplished by the three.
