Still Undeieated

took on a combination of base
ball jugglers. consisting of the
pick OF the teams Of the whole
Standing Rock reservation and
gave them a walloping to the
tune of IA to 5.

rounding country and in spite of
the une ven score the rOOters were
completely crazed with excite
ment before the conclusion of
the fracas.
Fly was on the mound for the
Lennon team and was in his u.s.
ual form striking out 8 men in
the first three innings. By this
time the Lennon team Rad Sc
cured so many runs that Felix
decided that it was no use to
work so hard and let the fielders
have q share of the work. In
the nine innings he struck out
ID men and allowed only 6 scat
tered hits. Fly also showed that
he still knew the principles of
batting and drove out three three
base hits. Pitchers all along the
line are beginning to appreciate
that they are not capable of cop
ing with this mans remarkable
batting ability.
Potts was behind the bat and
his playing came up to his usual
standard Of perfection. It can
BE- truly said of this catcher that
his superior is not to be found on

harVesters' Hum
Will Soon Be Heard

1t will be only a short time
now until the hum of the har-
vesting machines will be heard
throughout this country and the
greatest grain crop ever garner
ed in this northwest will be cut
and threshed. On every hand
is evidence of the marvellous
productive qualities of this coun.
try. Going out of this city in
any direction fields of grain
standing three feet high can be
seen already headed out and
rapidly ripening. Later crops
are rapidly reaching their growth
and in two or three weeks this
entire section will be the seat
of the greatest activity in the
harvest fields ever witnessed.
One, who has never before
seen the wonderful sight of
miles upon miles cf rapidly
growing grain, is APPALLED, by the
greatness of it all.
Any man. who has any idea
that the articles that are con-
tanned in the Herald concerning
crop conditions are exaggera
tions or falsehoods, should take
a few days off and spend them
in a tour of inspection of the
Greatest Farming Country that
the sun ever shone upon. The
people who took the Herald s
advice and invested in some of
this land have already made a
mice sum in the increase in the
value of the land. and, as this
paper has stated time after time
land is still raising. We should
like to see the real estate men
of this section get busy right
now and get buyers from the
eastern states into this country
and show them what wonderful
growths of grain can be had in
this county in spite of the cool
and backward weather. No one
with the least appreciation of
land values can go away salts
fed after looking this country
over unless he has become the
possessor of some of the valu-
able land of the Dakotas.
A great number of men will
be needed about the middle Of
July to handle the crop and the
wages that will be paid will
undoubtedly be good.

Barton { Bailey
Coming To Lennon
Take the Children to See the
Greatest Collection Of Wild
Animals Extant.

To those who have reached
mature years the coming of the
circus means simply that they
will have several hours keen
enjoyment away from the ordi-
nary run of pleasures. Bat to
the youngsters, circus day il
the day. a red letter day, an
occasion long to be remembered.
You recall with vivid memory,
do you not, the very first circus
you ever saw? How you stared
round-eyed at those fierce look
ing animals. And you remem-
ber too, don you, how you fail
ed to understand why those
elephants had tails in front and
back and how father laughed
when you asked him about it?
Then there was the music of the
bands. the wonderful acrobatic
feats of the gaily dressed per-
formers, the funny antics of the
clowns all making an indeible
impression on your childish mind
and transplanting you to real
wonderland.
Many another child will ex-
perience these enjoyable impress
sions on Tuesday July 18th when
Barton and Bailey's world cele-
brated shows will exhibit after
noon and night at Lennon. We
hope with all our heart that
every youngster in the vicinity
has the pleasure Of seeing this
WOnd erful attraction or rather
this collection Lf attractions.
There are many educational fea-
lures with a large enterprise
like the above the foremost of
which, in our opinion, is the mon
ster managerie. Where. for in
stance, would you, or or the
little ones, see more than the
pictures Of all these wild animals
if it were not the circus? And
no doubt many a youth has en-
cOuraged to greater achievement
along physical lines by noting
the results obtained by persis-
tent and continued efforts.
