DONT let anyone Try 70 tell you
that FL Paso isn't a sporting
city. The writer tried to cover three
senior ball games, tennis, golf, etc,
on Sunday and, despite some activity
from 8 a. m. to dark, was unable
to get around to all Of them at
that. FL Paso is Just about the
Invest burg on the map when it
comes to weekend sports And
there are more young men taking
part in athletics for the sake Of the
sport than in any other city Of this
size in America

JESS WILLARD set a fashion
} when he won the heavyweight
championship. Every man in the
country who is over six feet IN
height now has an idea that he is Of
championship caliber. Louis Bodie,
a Montana trainman, is now in Spo-
kane and plans to start on a cam
paign which will land the title-sO
he thinks. He is siA feet six and
one-half inches in height and has
been boxing a year. He lost his first
fight but has won the last II by
knockouts. We now hope to hear
that Bob Page has decided that he
will tackle Willard. If height means
anything, Bob can qualify.

HELLO HISTORY

The Northwestern Telephone
company is Minnesota corpora
ton, organized under the laws
of Minnesota, with a capital
stock of S15,O00,000. It has
grown from a mere nothing up
to one of the largest corpora
tions of its kind in the country.
The first articles were filed with
the secretary of state many
years ago when the transmits
sion of voice was considered
doubtful, and when the first in
corporators had grave doubts as
to the investments they were
making. From time to time the
capital stock, at first only S25,-
600, has been increased, until
now it has the large capitallza-
ton given above. Likewise the
company has renewed it's cor
porate existence from time to
time, and three or four years
ago it renewed for the full peri
Cd of thirty years and paid into
the state treasury over $4,000
for the renewal fee.
The Tri-State Telephone COM
pany is Maine corporation, do
ing business in this state under
the foreign corporation law.
This business is now being done
on $4,000 capital stock in
this state. Several months ago
the company amended its arti-
cles and attempted to file with
the secretary of state the amend
ments, and also the statement
showing that the proportionate
amount of it's capital represented
in this state was something like
S8,000,000.
Mr.. Schmahl, secretary of
state, insisted that the COM
pany must pay the fee on this
amount, amounting to over 81
900, but the officers contended
otherwise. The matter was re-
ferred to the attorney general
and through an assistant, the
contention of the company was
sustained. The secretary, how
ever, insisted that the assistant
attorney general was wrong
and called on Mr.. Smith for a
direct opinion. The attorney
general himself is still consid-
ering the matter.-Tom Noswal,
in Mortified News.

ington, and whenever | have
gone, in hotels and on railroad
trains, the Bryan. resignation
has been the chief topic of con-
versation.
Generally Mr.. Bryan is not
credited with having given the
real reason for his retirement
from the cab<et. At this NOM
ent Bryan's stock is lower than
at any time in his history. This
does not mean that anyone
imagines that he will be with
out political influence.
But in an international con-
troversy there is only one lead
er for Americans, and that is
the president of their country.
In this instance there Is such
widespread confidence in the
president that no one can even
seem to contend with him and
win public favor.
Everywhere one hears predic-
tions on he outcome Of this
matter, and today the general
prediction is that Bryan is for
ever dead"

SCENIC CITY DESTROYED
Great Air Fleet to Drop Bombs
on Helpless City at
Fair

The great Europeon war, in
which nearly 100000 persons
have already been killed, is to
be reproduced each evening, at
the Minnesota State Fair, Sept.
6 to II, in a gigantic fireworks
display before the Grandstand.
The Thearle-Paine Fireworks
company, the largest one of it's
kind in the world, is now at
work upon the spectacle.
'"The War of Nations" as it
is called, will occupy a scenic
setting $50 feet long, embrace
ing 10000 square feet of can
vas painted in oil. Over 800
persons will take part. A Bel
gian city will be represented.
In anticipation of an attack
trenches will be thrown up
around the city, barb-wire en-
tanglements made, mines laid,
wireless stations erected, gun
pits dug, and high-power search
lights located.
Night comes at last. Sentries
high in the tower of the great
cathedral suddenly discover an
approaching air ship. Pande-
monium reigns. An army OF
aeroplanes and Zeppelins drops
bombs on the city. The roar of
heavy guns, the binding flashes
from armored automobiles, the
rattle of rifle fire, and the burst
ing of mines, all fill the air with
an unearthly din. A great shell
strikes the cathedral tower, and
the structure totters and falls
The city is completely destroyed
Then follows a mammoth tab
leaux depicting the Blessings
of Peace" In the boldness OF
the underlying idea nothing OF
it's kind has ever been seen at
the fair.

A BALL PLAYERS PRAYER

Lord, help me to play the
game. 1t matters not to you
whether | am talented or poor
in natural gifts; wealthy or
starving; a leader among men
or a simple follower, SO that |
play the game as you would have
it played. Help me to keep my
eye on the ball, that the curves
of temptation may not deceive
me. Keep my feet in the pain Of
righteousness, that | may touch
second and third On my way
round the bases. Help me to
beat out my bunts, and hold me
that | stray not too far from
base when the catcher is ready
to peg me. Count not my foul
balls against me, o Lord, for the
batting eye sometimes goes
wrong, though the intention is
right. Help me in the pinches,
Lord, because a good bingle
might bring my brother home.
Let not the music of the fans
keep my eye from the ball, nor
the enticements of the slab
man draw me away from the
need of clean single with a man
on second. Help me, 0 Lord, to
bat over 800, because my eyes
are on the big league for eternity
even while | sojonrn here among
the bush-leaguers.-EXchange.
