RURAL SCHOOL NOTES.
BY Tina Fesenden, Supt.

A Box Social and program was held
at district No 4, Saratoga twp, last
Friday evening, March Is, at the close
of Sophia Breitsprecher's term of
school. A large crowd attended and
the proceeds amounted to $35. so.
At the annual meeting March 9, a
new school house was voted for Dist.
4, Paris twp. This will be an mex
pensive building, but neat and COM
Portable in every way. 1t will provide
adequate ventilation, good light, a
pleasing interior finish restful to the
eye, and ample blackboard space.
Much credit is due the board of Paris
twp in getting the vote of the people
for this most needed improvement, and
the pupils and parents of district No.
will certainly enjoy and appreciate it..
Miss Josie Iverson of Paris z, re-
Gently gave school program and
entertainment. Two farces were
presented, Hans Won Smash and
1.-TWO Much Of a Good Thing" and
were greatly enjoyed. About 65
were present.
The lectures by Prof. Colgrove
and DR.. Meyerholz of Cedar Falls,
which We're given last week, were
greatly enjoyed. The audiences,
though not very large, were appre-
ciative. Prof. Colgrove lectured on
Sand, Sympathy and Sense" and
DR.. MeyerholZ on "The Value of an
Education" Prof. Colgrove's lee
ture was an appeal for the boys
and girls of our country, an appeal
to the parents 20 work for better
schools and better homes so that
the training of every chill should
include sand, sympathy and sense.
For a man without sand is a COW
ard, man without sympathy is a
fiend, and man without sense is
a fool; and no matter what the
scholarship of a men or women is
if he is a coward, a fiend or a fool
his value to himself Or his country
cannot be great.
Dr. Meyerholz in "The Value of
an Education" took up the three
phases, the material value, the NOR
al value and the cultural value.
However, he dwelt most extensively
upon the material side as it is in
the actual dollars and cents that
the people of this age are the most
interested. Parents who heard DR..
Meyerholz, who are keeping their
boys and girls at home to work,
must realize that though at present
there may be some material gain
it is nothing in comparison to
the gain that would be realized in
a few years If the education were
completed before the dollars and
cents were considered.
We are very grateful to the peo-
pie throughout the county who so
generously provided entertainment
and transportation for the lecturers
and for the general hospitality and
int erestshown. The lecturers also
wish US to express their thanks to
all who helped out in the work.
Many have expressed the desire that
we have more of such lectures in the
county, and we hope to be able
next year to give them the oppor-
tunity Of hearing several sue splen-
did speakers as Prof. Colgrove and
Dr.. Meyerholz.

WESTINGHOUSE DIES
OF HEART DISEASE
Noted Inventor Expires Rather
Unexpectedly.

New York, March 14-GeoTge West
inghouse, who invented the airbrake
and through this agency probably
saved more lives than any other man
of the country, died at his home here
of heart disease.
Mr.. Westinghouse death came but
a few hours after the public was ad.
vised OF his serious illness. The dis
ease manifested itself fifteen months
ago and is believed to have been
brought on by the blow his ventures
suffered in the depression Of 1907.
His career as an inventor started
when he evolved rotary engine. Be-
fore he was twenty one he invented
the airbrake, which made huge for.
tunes for his hackers. .fr
| The genius of Westinghouse touch
! ed many things. Besides railroading
for more than fifty years he smade
many contributions to electrical and
engineering advancement. He found
ed many manufacturing companies
here and abroad and the plants en-
ploy more than $4,000 persons. They
have capitalization totaling more
than 100000, eco.
In 1885 he succeeding in introduce
ing the alternating current system for
supplying electric light and power.
He invented many appliances for rail
road signals, devices for safely and
economically conveying natural gas
over great distances, air springs for
all kinds of motor vehicles and
geared turbine fer propelling ships.
His inventions total in the hundreds.

use Of the ball by Pitcher Seaton.
The emery BALI is SO called because
the pitcher roughens one side or the
ball by rubbing it with emery paper.
Seaton carried a small piece of the
paper in his glove, using It on the
bali when he thought no one was
looking. The benefit accruing from
the use of emery paper on the ball
is that one side is roughened while
the other is left smooth, the result
being that the ball will curve much
more sharply and effectively.
Il was none other than our own
Roguish Bill Whitaker. justly called
the foxiest hurler in the league, who
got away with what was decided
Improvement on this emery ball.
Bill had no name for his invention
that he used so effectively during the
last few weeks OF the season. 1t
might well have been called shut
ter ball. Before pitching game.
Bill would select new ball and cut
on one side, all in a space about one
inch square, a number of small incis-
ions in the leather, all made slantwise.
The incisions created little shutters"
that projected about an eighth OF an
inch from the surface Of the ball, all
of them slanting in the same angle.
These shutters, being all on one side
of the ball, caught more firmly in the
air on the one side than on the other,
causing the ball to deviate sharply
from its line OF projection. The
curves William could throw with this
ball were a revelation to say nothing
of revolution. His greatest difficulty
in throwing this ball was to prevent
it from curving too much. I watched
him warming up with Harry Sweet
one day before a game Sweet sig.
nailed for curve ball and Bill let
him have 1t. Just before it reached
Sweet it curved sharply to the left
and struck Harry on the shoulder. 1t
was with this contrivance that Bill
! pitched one-hit game and, several
! other games when but three or foul
/ hits were made off him.

Frank Boyle is not going to wait
until the snow starts melting before
starting out to build up his team for
next year. In a letter from him re,
ceived here today he says he expects
to attend the November meeting OF
the National association to be held
in Omaha where he thinks he will be
able to pick up several experienced
young players. Practically all the
minor league moguls in the country
attend this annual session and from
the number of deals made then, the
association meeting itself is really of
minor Importance.
On top of that. Frank says he al
ready has several young players lined
up. Their respective specifications
have affixed their official signatures
to Keokuk contracts. Add to the
youngsters two or three of the best
men from our squad during the past
season and Frank will have material
for building a good club with pros

The third annual regatta under

there were no entries. The others

from the shore and from dozens of
small power boats. There were many
entries but only few starters, not
nearly 80 many as had been expected.

AGONY EXTENDED;
GIANTS DIE HARD
Braves Now Must Win One Game
From the Giants in the Series
Starting To-
morrow.
RUBE FORCED TO WIN
Marouard Breaks Losing Streak After
Twelve Straight Defeats-
Connie Mack Sends
Out Scouts.

[By Hal Sheridan, written for the
United Press.l
NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-The agony
has again been drawn out and the
Braves must down the Giants in one
game Of the series starting tomorrow
to put the final clincher to their hold
on the National league pennant. The
Braves have such a habit Of winning
that they do not know how to lose
and again trounced the Cubs. although
the men Hank O'Day thinks he man
ages suddenly rose up with ninth
inning rally that all but knotted the
score against Bill James. 1t fell one
run shy, however, and with the one
big inning such as the Braves usually
stage, a triple and sacrifice fly In
the eighth, Stallings' men had enough.
In the fourth inning, which netted
four runs, the Braves connected for
three singles, double and triple.
When Schmidt lined out his triple in
the eighth, he registered his fourth
safe one of the afternoon.
Giants Die Hard.
The Giants have evidently deter
mined to die hard even though they
have only about as much chance to:
cut In on the Braves as they have OF
pronouncing Przemysl Their double
victory over the Pirates has made 1t !
necessary for the Braves to lick them
at least once and should they repeat
today and by some strange chance
the Braves lose. more than one would
be in order. They went so far as to
bat behind Marquard and the Rube
was forced to break his losing streak.
He is now credited with a victory
after twelve straight defeats The
Giants amassed thirteen runs behind ;
him during the six innings the game /
lasted and though the Pirates were
lures and had collected six runs, the
game was called with the blame
placed on the fading daylight.

The Hummer II and Scary William
