The reason McCormicS's run in 1908 did
not count was that Merkle was forced
at second. A run is never scored when
the third out is an out at first or fore
out at another base. In your case both
runners obviously scored before the

GERMANS RUSHING
TROOPS TO FRONT

Paris, Sept 12.-German reinforce
ments are being hurled in enormous
numbers to the center of the present
battle line.
Reports from the front emphasize
that the critical position, so far as the
allies are concerned, is in the terri
tory in the vicinity of Vitry-le- fran
co.'s, through Genicourt, almost to Yer
dun.
The British-French left continues to
sweep the Germans back north of the
Marne They have shortened their
lines pending the arrival of reinforce
ments, but the British attack contin-s
ues with almost uninterrupted sltc.
cess.
If the French finally crush the at
tack at the center the present British
movement will be successful, as it
will clear all Western France Of the
Germans But if the center breaks
the German menace will Immediately
become great. e
That the Germans have no intention
of retreating under present circum-
stances is shown by the official re-
ports received by General Gallieni,
which show that they are bringing
their Caterpillar" siege guns forward
behind their center.
It is not believed that the decisive
stage can be reached In the present
battle for at least three or four more
days. -....s r.

100 new COTTAGES in 1915
Company Formed, Says J. ]. 0psahl,
j Which Will Build Plan Struc-

BRING MANY CUTTERS TO BEMIDU

That an organization has been
formed in Minneapolis which will
provide capital for the purchase,
cutting to fit, and ready to put up,
material for the erecting of 100 cot
tages on the shores of Lake Bemidji.
is the announcement made by j. J..
Opsahl, chairman Of the develop
ment committee of the Commercial
club, who is now in the twin cities.
The cottages will be so planned
that they can easily be put together
by carpenters or laymen, according
to plain specification plans Material
will be provided for fifty three-room
and the same number of five-room
structures. A selling office will be
established in Bemidji.
Each cottage will be complete,
having good chimneys, while the in
side partitions will be constructed
in folding door shape, making it
possible to change the three or five
rooms into one large apartment in
just a few minutes.
Practically the entire walls will
be Of folding windows toward ceiling,
with base board two and half feet
in height. This will provide an en-
tirely enclosed house during rainy
spells and in fair weather it will be
an open porch. r.
Last year over one hundred more
families would have spent their sum-
mer here" says Mr.. Opsahl, eff cot
tages had been obtainable. 1 hope
that every Bemidji business man and
property owner and banker will as
sist in adding at least one hundred
cottages in 1915 to Bemidji shores
and two hundred in 1916. Every
family spending sixty Or ninety days
in Bemidji increases business to
great extent. This is an opportu-
nifty to build on every vacant lott

Wildcat banking threatens our

War emergencies have caused the

'sThis proposition to issue money

Lindbergh

A Better Plan.


"This super tax on big incomes is
not my ideal at that" Mr.. Bailey
went on. But it is so much better
than any of the proposed indirect
taxes which will surely rest at last
on the ultimate consumer-the man
at the furnace or in the mine or in
the furrOw or driving a cart-that I
am disposed to forego the ideal for
the practical. Not that the ideal is
not practical. Only that it is a bit
strange now and some would regard
it as revolutionary. The ideal tax
would be one laid on land values, ap-
portioned among the states on the
basis Of population; and I have bill
in reserve providing for such a tax.
Land values are community values
and therefore belong of right to the
whole people. To appropriate them
would be merely for the community
the whole people-to take their
own,
