Braves Defeated ] To PROPULSION
Of Errors,

SUNDAY confident of adding another victory

when Mr. Michaels rejuvenated team, with

them to the tune of 10 /. GARDENERS
smoke ball seemed to have our bows puzzl-
ed as they only secured six hits during the
game. Harry Grant secured two of them
including a home run which was responsible
for Odanah's lone run, Bernie Dennis also
hit safely twice, John Grant and Mcbride
got one hit apiece.
The Ironwood bows bumped ]. Grants
offerings for IL hits. Attic they were
scattered, it was the numerous errors OF
commission and omission which were MAIN
ly responsible for Ironwoods runs.
The Odanah team had very bad day in
the field, our boys committing 10 errors,
but most of them could be excused as the
grounds were anything hut good, but the
errors of omission which does not appear III
the tahulatcd score cannot be excused SO
easily. Those are what make team look
bad. The boys ran bases poorly on three
different occasions, base runners were caught
mapping and put out, whereas, if they
would have been alive things might have
turned out different. Well, every team has
its off day and we should be glad we are rid

Things to Think About.

At this time of year there are a great
many things to occupy the thrifty farmers
attention, as this is truly the busy part of
the season. The one thing at present is
the haying season. This is work that should
be pushed hard from the beginning to the
end, don't let the hands stand around doing
nothing when they should be busy, in ord7
err to avoid this the work should be planned
SO there will be plenty of work for each
man, and only have those that are needed
and are willing to earn their money.
The idea that some farmers seem to have
is that they must have five or six men to
harvest eight or ten acres Of hay. In order
to handle this work as j. should be, the
the mower should be started i'll the morning
and some four or FIVE acres cut down the
first day, and if the hay is heavy crop,
is the case this yeat, it should be tedded up
the next morning or az soon as the dew is
off, then by noon or soon after dinner the
hay can be raked and taken TO the barn or
stack, while the men are hauling the hay,,
if their is teams then the inuwer should start.
again if the weather isfavorabie. OF course
a great deal depends or conditions as to.
when the hay should 60 to the barn or
stack. Whenever you can take bunch of
hay in both hands and twist it like rope
and no moisture is forced from it, the
chances are the hay will keep when stored
away in large quantities, this does not mean
that the hay must be as dry as straw to keep
the hay can be tough so long as there can
De no moisture forced out Of it by twisting
it, and making better quality of hay.
There is something else at this time that
must not be forgotten, the garden and potato
crop demands attention. The excessive
rains this Spring and Summer has helped
the weeds to get a start. and unless prompt
attention is given these erops they will suffer
very much indeed, If the weeds are not re-
moved it will mean failure for some of tnese
crops The farmers garden or truck patel,
is one OF the principale crops Of which ne.
raises, it is some lines said that the garden
is small part of the farm, so it is, but IT
pays large part of the living expenses.
The Potato Bug.
It's about time for the potato bug to put
in his appearance, and there is not much
Ioubt about his coming, and in order to be
prepared to get rid of the bugs, if the held
is very big, is to get potato sprayer, the
small hand sprayer will do for small patches
but where there is any amount from an acre
ND it is best to get what is called the KNAPP
s,ck-Spraver, this is one that air pressure IS
forced into the tank after paris green and
water has been mixed at the rate OF one
teaspoonfull of paris green to one gallon or
water, and when rhe nozzel is opened the
mixture can be easily and evenly applied,
and the next day you can see that the paris
Green has done it's work. Don't put on
retting 4 sprayer until the bugs get TOO
great start, because the expense IS nor
great, say five OF six dollars, and will save
the price or. one seasons crop several times
over.

atmosphere prevailed. The crowds
looked like ready money and they
were worked for ready money, ano
they were expected to thank receivers
for relieving them of their cash.
The country merchants and the
country press do more to make the
State fair what it is than any other
one agency. The country merchants
with practical unanimity, visit the
fair; most of them remain the entire
time and they are good spenders; the
country press each year furnish
thousands of dollars worth of public
ity free.
Yet the fair management sell con-
cession to a great Chicago catalogue
house and permit them to distribute
hundreds of thousands of catalogues
advertising their goods among the
customers of the country merchants
and the subscribers of country news
papers.
The mail order houses are the
greatest detriment to country mer-
chants in existence. Every dollars
worth of trade secured by this cata-
logue distribution lessons their profits
and cuts down the income of the coun-
try papers by reducing the resources
of those upon whom they depend for
support; but so long as the Fair man.
ayers could take in a few dollars for
the concession they should worry
about those who foot the bills of the
fair.
The State fair is a semi-public in
stitution, maintained in part by public
funds and for them to use these funds
to furnish facilities and opportunities
to institutions that are positively de-
trimental to the interests of those
that make and maintain the fair is as
great an outrage and as contrary to
the eternal fitness of things as it
would be if the German tax-collector
took the revenue he wrings from the
German peasantry and placed it in the
Allies war-chest.

The Panama Canal.

The Panama canal was suggested
for the isthmus of Panama as early
as 1920 by Angel Saavedra, but for
long time all such suggestions met
with determined opposition from
Spain, which made it a capital offense
to seek or make known any improve
ment on the existing route from Porto
Bello to Panama. More recently
Louis Napoleon. when a prisoner at
Ham. spent much time considering
the practicability of such scheme.

The Christian Era.

The Christian era which we now use
was fixed by Dionysius tsurnamed The
Little), Roman abbot and one Of the
most learned men of the sixth century.
Its epoch, or commencement, is the
first day of January. on the fourth
year of the one hundred and ninety
fourth olympiad. the seven hundred
and fifty third from the foundation Of
Rome and four thousand seven hun
bred and fourteenth of the Julian Pc
riod. 1t is usually supposed to begin
with the birth of Christ, but there are
various opinions with regard to the
year In which that event took place.
The system accepted by the Christian
world Is that of Usher, which makes
the date of the birth of Christ four
years before the Christian era. The
time for the Christian era was intro
duced in Italy in the sixth century
and began to be used in Gaul in the
eighth century. though it was not gen
orally followed in that country until d
century later. From extant charters 1t
is known to have been in use in Eng
land before the close of the eighth cen
fury. Before Its adoption the usual
course in Latin countries was to dis
tinguish the years by their number in
the cycle Of indiction, or tax leyying

FOR PROFIT ONLY

The State Fair was a magnificent
success from Twin-City standpoint
and the dailies are singing peans OF
praise for the management and dilat-
ing upon the benefits that the agricul-
tural visitors derived from viewing
the aeroplane flights, the auto speed
contests and looking at the horse
races. And the sychophantic country
papers taking their cue from the city
dailies, are echoing the refrain. Even
Dad Pease, the grim guardian of rural
interests, adds his commentator; pos
sibly because he received an office al
the hands of the management and pos
sibly not.
We have patiently waited for some
country editor with nerve enough to
print few plain truths about this in
stitution and as none have come to
the front we have concluded to at
tend to the matter ourselves.
The State Fair, under it's present
management, is conducted for profit
only and the idea of benefit to those
who make, maintain and pay for the
fair cuts no figure, whatever.
1t is estimated that at least 500, 200
persons visited the Twin Cities during
the fair; that the railroad companies
received over 81, SOC, 900 for transport
ing this multitude; the hotels and res
taurants $1,000,000 for entertainment;
the theatres $4,000; the department
stores gathered a golden harvest of
S5,eOe,000 and the State Fair itself
was $4,000 to the good.
It would naturally seem that in re-
turn for these Incorporating oppor-
tunities the money furnishers should
have been treated with the greatest
consideration and their rights and in
terests well safe-guarded. Instead of
