Treadwell Leads

Baseball has been occupying the cen- ter of the stage on Gastineau channel for the past week, and we are happy to say that Treadwell has the jump on Juneau boys, having won two out of three of the games played.
 The season officially opened in Ju neau last Wednesday evening in a shower of rain, and the opening game was attended only by the 33d degree fans. Kileeu and Lewis were at the points for Treadwel and Ford and King did the honors for Juneau, and with bis teammates playing errorless ball behind him Kuleen brought home the bacon. Score, 8 to 2. Both the new Treadwell men, Killeen and Lewis, made very favorable impression.
 SUNDAYS CAME
 The second game of the series was played on the Treadwell grounds and Juneau came over loaded for bear, playing two new men, "Moose" Baxter aud Fossas. It was a very nice day and Treadwell had the game nicely stored away when some loose fielding by Treadwell and a seventh inning batting rally on the part of Juneau netted them five runs and gave them the game. Heavy hitting by mem bers of both teams helped make the game interest. ing One feature was when "Moose' Baxter searched way back into the cobwebbed, dim recesyes of his long dreary past and resurrected the old "hidden ball trick, the same being the gag that Abel worked on Cain when they played aone old cat"in the Garden of Eden. aMoose" didn't get away with it successfully. One other feature was pulled of in the seventh inuinR, when sDolly" Gray got excited, and having worn his voice down to husky whisper offered to bet the Juneau Soda Works against the Treadwell miDe on Juneau, and said be was giving them fifty per cent the best of 1t. "Dolly" still has the soda works on bis hands. Score:

impor,ance Of Work.

A negative life Is wicked life Someone has said "no angel ever ap- peared to a man who was not at work" You cannot make man good py Keeping him idle. T must be about my Fathers business" said Christ iL the temple. That Is the gospel of ev. cry man who Is loyal to his own soul, Is the comment of the Ohio State Jou,ual. There is no excuse for idle ness. Work, like virtue. religion, faith. Is from within. The impulse toward the right is what keeps man at work. and if he is not at work he lacks the impulse. His religion Is too weak to exert itself. A positive life Is the only true life. Nor is mere a1truism the only form of work. It is as much a mans duty to help himself as 1t Is to help others. so that help is upbuildipg, which is the very condition of ones being benefit to others. A man who loves roses, sunsets, stars. creeks, trees, birds, Is friend of humanity. Loving Gods beautiful world includes maI,fD 1t Is a false love. Not to tovo these creations of goodness and grace denotes a negative life that is positively wicked.

Austrian war Office Explains Retrea:
 of AustrO.German Army.

London, July 12-"The situation re mains unchanged"
 This statement appended to the German offical summary of opera tions in the southeastern front yes terday and repeated verbatim today, taken in connection wit hthe publi- cation. of an official statement from headquarters of the Austrian army in Galicia iss ted this afternoon, evinces more clearly than can any detailed report tie reversal of the situation in the east for he Austro- Germans. The Tentonic allies are stopped.
 The headquarters report explains that the relative of subs1dence of ac- tivity on the part of the Austro-G Ger man forces is due to the fact that the goal set for the Lemburg cam paign has been attained in the recap ture of the city and the retakng of the strong defense positions to the east and north of it.. These are the positions along the Zlota Lipa and Bug rlver lines and the ridge of tile northward of Krasnik.

snow-Proo4 Hoots.

Members of arctic expediticas Have ,ound that gum boots are not proof against the entrance of moisture for snow water seems to penetrate the rubber where the boots are in more or less constant use for long period of time. This IS prevented by an oc- casional application of shellac. which effectually keeps the moisture out
 even when subjected to the hardest wear. Shel!ac can also be made use of to advantage in coating the tbongs of snow shoes for the purpose of re- sisting thr moisture when moving over the wet snow. The shoes thus treated enable the men to make much better headway over the snow with less ef' fort. The thongs which have beer treated with shellac are also said to dry out quicker after use than sthera

Making Thinus Even.

It would be difficult to find a region where the ups and downs of fortune have been so sudden and extreme as in California. In it's early days, be- fore its production of grain was equal 90 the demand, wages of farm hands were high, but as production increased tue prices lowered faster than the rato of wages. A farmer employed a2 in. dustrious Irishman for five years, at the rate of fifty dollars month land found'--board, lodging. washing, and mending. At the end oe the term he said to his man:r'I can't afford to pay you the wages I have been paying. You have saved money, and I have saved nothing. At this rate you viii soon own my farm" '"Then I'll hire you to work for me-" said the other, land you can get your farm bach again"

SOUNDS GOOD.

Here's an item that appeared in the Beaumont (Texas) Enterprise of Saturday:
 The first car of Irish potaloes from Arkansas was received by the com mission men yesterday. The potato crop in Texas has been exhausted and for the next few weeks the demand vii be supplied by Arkansas and Oklahoma. ss
 This certainly sounds good. And it is as good as it sounds. Arkansas wealth will be increased, and the prosperity of it's farmers enhanced when there is basis for such items ill papers of many other towns. Arkan- sas can supply almost any crop grown. and the manner in which the farmers are adopting the diverslfica- tiun idea indicates that at no distant period this state will be shipping out more produce than is brought in.
 Jefferson county can ship potatoes onions, tomatoes and numerous othe! vegetables and fruits at times when they are commanding high prices The county has the soil and climate The growing and shipping is up te the farmer, who will reap the reward
 The marketing problem for the Jefferson farmer is in a fair way tt be solved by the Jefferson County Farmers club, incorporated by farmers, bankers and business men The formation of this organization | about the most important event tha has occurred in Jefferson county farming history. The farmers nov have the benefit of the advice of ex perienced business men, who can tel them what and when to plant II order to obtain the best returns Marketing farm products is a busl ness proposition; one that should b <. in the hands of business men. Tn farmers of Jefferson county ar fortunate in having the assistance business men in this great undertak ing.
 If the farmers will do their part which means that if they will com into the association, avail themseive of the, information it will supply plant and pack accordingly, they VII have money coming to them through out the year from produce market ed at good prices.

Pine Bluff is Oh tho prohibition map as :, "dry" town, but the arrest by Constable Cline Green yesterday of about 30 alleged "bootlegsers' would seem to indicate that the alcoholic drouth was not so very very severe. The law prohibiting the sale of liquor should be as rigidly en- forced as any other statute. It Is unfortunate that state or commun- iiy which has voted for prohibition cannot find means of preventing the importation of intoxicating liquor ln any quantity whatever.
