President Wilson made admirable speech to
the members OF the Associated Press in New York
Tuesday, and yet when he was very serious
he was humorous, unconSciously without doubt.
Said he: Il do not to walk around trouble
If any man wants scrap that is an interesting
scrap and worth while, / am his man. | warn
him that he is not going to draw me into the
scrap for his advertisement, but If he is looking
for trouble that is the trouble of men in general
and can help little, why then | am in for it
And in almost his next sentence the President ad-
ded: Don't you admire and don't YOU fear If
you have TO contest with him, the self-mastered
man who watches you with calm eye and comes
in only when you have carried the thing so far
that You must be disposed: That Is the man Won
must respect. That is The you know has at
the bottom much fundamental and terrible
courage than the irritable, fighting man" OF

handing that 'uxuriant bouquet to himself, but

tho other hand, VIC may store ii up in Our system
to make it factor in sickness to come later.
But there delicate women and men who
will be poisoned. And there arc children

Ono reason that you and | may be partially
mnIunc to poison is that in small doses, VIC have
steadily taken poison into tho system all lives.
Mother Nature tries hard to bear with our
ioes She adapts herself we'll she can.
Children. however, have not yet been conf

1t has just been estimated by food expert
that in year something like 10000 children
were killed by food poison. and that several hun
drcds of thousands OF adults were injured. There
arc several kinds OF chemicals, used in the drinks
bought soda fountains in milk and on fish, and
in the preservation OF eggs.

With these thoughts in mind we ought to be
grateful for the excitement aroused in us by tho
use OF explosives. 1t ought to make us think OF
those other destructive forces. II VIC only be
prorortonat"ly excited about the destruction OF
human lives caused by food poisoning shall
put an end to such destruction.
Better still VIC shall stop such use OF poison.
The very manufacturers and the very people
who put the poison into food must suffer And
their own children must suffer. For the damage
is widespread that few can escape

think
Women arc thu people who put the poisoned
food the table and feed children with it.
They know that the sale OF such food is allowed
to so on by law, that is that the law thus far has
been unable to stop it.
But they told that they ought not TO have
anything to do with the making of the laws Such
interference is unfcmninc
Perhaps food poisoning will help some women
to change their minds on this subject. Perhaps
it will make them how closely our laws are

TIME TO BEGIN PLANS
FOR EXHIBITS At FAIR
SECRETARY GEORGE SAYS NO
TIME LIKE. PRESENT TO START
AFTER THE FIRST PRIZE.

NOW is the time for every person
TO begin to plan for the Fremont
county exhibits at the state fair. .
said Secretary George OF the Chamber
of Commerce this morning.
The best way for people to do is
to call or send for a premium list
describing the prizes offered and plan
their entries accordingly"
Fremont county took second prize
on general exhibits last year and
Shere is no reason why first prize
should not be obtained by this county
this time. provided the exhibitors get
together and work toward that end.
Secretary George also announced
that this year all the fancy work
which the ladies Of the county may
wish to send to the fair will be col
Iected In Canon City by one person
and taken to Pueblo There will be
no possibility OF any of the pretty
work being lost or damaged. as the
exhibits will be carefully looked after
both going and coming from the fair.
This plan viii cause many women to
take an interest in the fancy work
exhibit this time who have heretofore
declined to enter owing to the nnfor-
tunate fact that many articles OF
value have gone astray.

MR.. s. II. sPERRY CALLS TO MIND
GAME WHICH HE WITNESSED
IN IOWA ALMOST HALF CEN
TuRY Aco-scoRE 1os TO 10.

Talking about baseball, l am re-
minded of game way back in
1871" remarked Mr.. Sperry today.
Il had been captain and was the
twirler of what was in those days a
pretty good ball team. We could
play the average team a pretty stiff
game. and if the score could be kept
down to 20 it was considered good
ball playing. That, however, was
before the days of curve balls, pro-
tectors. masks and gloves. The man
in the box did not throw the ball. but
pitched IL as indoor ball of today.
81 well remember the first swift
pitcher that came to Iowa. He could
pitch ball with stiff arm move
ment as swift as the average pitcher
of today can throw it and with more
accuracy.
That summer was out of the game
The swift pitcher blew into Iowa
City one summer morning and the
association management hired him
for $50. He took my team and made
of them the champion players of
Iowa.
The story of the game referred to,
with a score of 100 to 1s, in favor of
Iowa City, was in this wise: 1t was

were some splendid farm boys in
that community who thought they
could handle ball about as wei
as the average player and were un-
fortunate enough to challenge the
Iowa City team and the boys came
on at the appointed time. The young
farmers were dressed in suits pecu-
liar to their calling but as soon as
they struck town person in those
days would want kodak most aw-

blue bloomer pants, tied around the
ankles with heavy cord twine; red
shirts, belts of many colors, and
broad hay field hats.
"They formed a line on the prin-

menced throwing and catching the
ball, and that certainly was picnic
for the bystanders and the fans.

ness came on or there is no telling
what the final score would have been.
With the assistance of several expert
accountants. the score was finally
figuerd out and 1t stood 1S for the
visitors and 100 for the home team.
"Yes, it was great game-for the
crowd. The visitors got the 1s
scores, because the Iowa City team
was too charitable to hand them a
goose egg every inning.
