Baseball at Rock, Ford Thursday.


Our ball team participated In its
third practice game OF the season
Thursday. when Manager Little took
his aggregation to Rocky Ford. While
playing with slightly different line
up than will regularly be used, the
boys put up mighty good exhibition
considering the fact that this was
the third time they had even practic-'
ed together. While the score was I

IOWA MAN INVENTS
MUSICAL MENAGERIE

Marshalltown, Oct 26.-A device
which it is claimed will enable child
rem four or five years Of age to play
tunes on a piano with only a little
practice has been invented by Sam
Seigel, formerly Of Marshalltown, ac-
cording to letter received by T. Mel
son Downs, an old vaudeville partner
Of Mr.. Seigel. Seigel for many years
was a mandolinist Of exceptional abi1-
ity.
The toy is called the musical men
agerie'' and consists Of a toy piano and
a chart with various animals on It,
each animal representing a note, or
tone. Pictures of the animals are
pasted on the front of the music rack
and additional tunes printed on heavy
cardboard come with the toy piano.
The child touches the key on which a
certain animal is represented, and a
certain tone results. The words are
printed below. In simple tune sent
out by Mr.. Siegel, the tune God Save
the King is shown, ready for Can
adian distribution. Here the first tone
is represented by deer. There are
also dogs, cats, monkeys, rabbits, cows
and other animals. Mr. Siegel is the
proprietor of the Sam Siegel Toy Co.,
at Brooklyn, N. Y.

HOW MtpDLE WEST FEELS.

The Chicago Tribune has been COD
hcyin1 the impression that 1t Is stand
hnx almost alone among middle west
Eern newspapers In demanding a prop
Ter and adequate military prepared
mess against q possible invasion. Ac-
1cordfnx to II. neither the publishers
nor the public have awakened to the
danger of our present military weak
ness.
The Tribune is dead wrong in this
attitude it has assumed. NO where
in the country are the publishers OF
ipa pers more alive to the dangers
that beset US, than right out here In
the middle west. With few noisy
exceptions, the press of the middle
west Is thoroughly alive to the stu
alton and has been for some time.
Neither was it necessary for any
paper to conduct a campaign of edu-
cation in order that the papers OF
tho midwest might be made to see
things as they are.
The red blooded men Of the middle
west were among the very Hrst 10
express themselves on the subject OF
preparedness and military training.
The Midwest Conference on Prepar-
edness was a spontaneous movement
along the line Of making this coun-
try capable Of resisting an armed IN
yasicn. Nine states and scores OF
cities had representatives at the re-
cent meeting at Rock Island arsenal.
Middle west men travelled five hun
dred miles to attend the recent vol
unteer military training encampment
at Fort Sheridan, just outside OF Chi
cago. and middle westerners In con-
gross are among the foremost aovo.
Gates Of bigger and better army ana
q stronger navy.
The middle west does not want war;
q knows too we'll that war would be
tho worst thing that could happen;
INT It also knows that war can not
Sbe prevented by mere wishes:
! Tho middle west feels that the best
3preparedness against war Is prepar-
edness for war.

Mrs. Dunstan as the young widow Of
Hiram Ward, the brewer.
The interest OF Dorothy and Chester

had kept pretty good pace with theirs.

given her. She knew that she had In
tentionally made it impossible for Jack
to explain fully, yet she felt hurt at MS
failure to do so; he knew that 80 long
as his explanation was withheld she
was justified in thinking him detest-
able cad, yet he was so angered at her
arrogant manner toward him and her
acceptance Of Chester Hills attentions
that he delayed his explanations.
It remained for fatuous Percy Arson
who had unwittingly caused the trouble
to set things right Just as Chester
Hill was called to the telephone, Percy
came along the porch arm in arm with
grouchy Henry Ardmore, head Of the
firm of brokers to which Jack had long
sought admission as member of the
partnership. At the same time Jack
and Mrs Ward came up the front steps
and without knowing Of Dorothy's
presence. went around to that side OF
the porch.

and Hello, Jack Congratulations, old
boy! Ardmore has just been telling
me about your adoption into the Arm.

at his little joke.

GLENWOOD INMATES

Glenwood, Oct. 28.-The past dozen

per cent in the number Of inmates at

DR.. Mogridge places the number OF
inmates at the present time at 1,482,
while tho number at the time he as.

Groups About the Cross
They Represent Present Day Attitudes Towards the
Golgothas of Civilization
D..
Episcopal Bishop Michigan

The trial Is ended. sentence is
pronounced. Christ is crucifled. AS
we gaze upon the crowd that sur
rounds that cross, lines of cleavage
reveal themselves. The multitude
separates into groups.
Three such groups stand or sit
about the cross. They represent three
different attitudes of mind toward
Him who hangs there crucified-an-
tipathy, apathy, sympathy.
The principal figures in the first
group are the chief priests and eld-
ers together with the scribes and
pharisees, the leaders of religion.
lust at the foot of the cross, in
their appointed place, as the death
watch, sits a small company of Roman
soldiers, the governors guard. They
have had their part to play in this
whole tragedy and, throughout, that
part has been animated by the single,
consistent spirit Of apathy.
Away out on the edge of the crowd
at first but creeping closer as the
multitude melts away before the
grewsome darkness and terrifying
earthquake until they stand at last
at the very foot Of the cross, Is the
little company Of women who followed
Jesus from Galilee and "ministered
to Him Of their substance" with
them is Mary, the Blessed Mother,
and with them also stands John, the
beloved disciple-the only man there
he who alone of all the disciples
has kept courage enough to remain
and see the end. Such was the third
group at the foot of the cross, the
group that represents sympathy
Suppose each OF us asks himself
the question Sin which group should
I have been had I been at Calvary"
Perhaps it is easy enough to answer
that question now as we look back on
that scene bathed in the light of nine
teen Christian centuries. You have
no doubt where you would have
stood; it is so easy to tell who were
in the right The past Is more or less
clear and plain.
But how is it now, now in this be-
wildering, perplexing present with it's
perpetual tangle Of variant motives,
its confused chaos Of interests?
Here for instance is some earnest
and honest effort to right social
wrongs, to correct economic injus-
tees, to establish equity between man
ana man or class and class, to bring
in the reign Of peace and righteous
ness and brotherly love in some
realm, political or industrial, to uplift
the down-trodden and give the d1sln-
herited their rights. Perhaps 1t iss a
crusade against child-labor; or the
ovcr-working and underpay OF wom-
en- and girls. Perhaps 1t Is labor
movement to secure for the toilers
just conditions, fair share In the
wealth they help to create and toler-
able conditions, such struggle as
is going on in Colorado today. Per
haps it is the spirit that inspires 50.
cialism or the single.tax movement
It may take any one Of thousand
forms.
