If it weren't for the travelling men our

the girls swarmed on it. Those that
didn't understand baseball pretended
they did. When the team was out of
town our form of greeting was
changed from, Good morning." OF
"Howdy-do!" to Whats the score ?"
Every night the results of the games
throughout the league were posted up
on the blackboard in front of Schlag-
er's hardware store, and to see the
way in which the crowd stood around
it, and streamed across the street to
ward it, you'd have thought they were
giving away gas stoves and hammock
couches.
Going home in the street car after
the game the girls used to gaze ador-
ingly at the diEty faces of their sweat
begrimed heroes, and then they'd rush
home. have supper, change their
dresses, do their hair, and rush down
town past the Parker hotel to mail

record for our town was broken dur
ing the months of June, July and Au-
gust.
Mrs. Freddy Van Dyne started the
trouble by having the team over to
dinner, Pug" Coulan and all. After
all, why not? No foreign and impe-
cunious princes penetrate as far inland
as our town. They get only as far as
New York, or Newport, where they are
gobbled up by many-moneyed matrons.
If Mrs. Freddy Van Dyne found the
supply of available lions limited, why
should she not try to content herself
with a jackal or so?
Ivy was asked. Until then she had
contented herself with gazing at her
hero. She had become such a hard
ened baseball fan that she followed the
game with score card, accurately jot-
ting down every play, and keeping her
watch open on her knee
She sat next to Rude at dinner. Be-
fore she had nibbled her second sailed
almond Ivy Keller and Rudie Schlach-
weller understood each other. Rudie
illustrated certain plays by drawing
lines on the tablecloth with his knife
and Ivy gazed, wide-eyed, and allowed
her soup to grow cold.
The first night that Rude called, Pa
Keller thought it a great joke. He sat
out on the porch with Rudie and Ivy
and talked baseball, and got up to
show Rude how he could have got the
goat of that Keokuk catcher if only
he had tried one of his famous open
faced throws. Rude looked politely
interested, and laughed in all the right
places. But Ivy didn't need to pre-
tend. Rude Schlachweiler spelled
baseball to her. She did not think of
her caller as good-looking young man
in a blue serge suit and white shirt
waist. Even as he sat there she saw
him as a blond god standing on the
pitchers mound, with the scars of bat,
tie on his baseball pants. his left foot
placed in front of him at right angles
with his right foot, his gaze fixed on
frst base in a cunning effort to de
ceive the man at bat in that fayorite
attitude of pitchers just before they
get ready to swing their left leg and
hist one over.
The second time that Rude called,
Ma Keller said:
Ivy, don't like that ball player
coming here to see you. The neigh
bors'n talk"
The third time Rude called. Pa Kel-
Ter said: What's that guy doing here
AGAIN."
The fourth time Rude called. Pa
Keller and Ma Keller said, in unison:
This thing has got to stop"
But it didn't 1t had had too good
a start. For the rest of the season Ivy
met her knight of the sphere around
the corner. Theirs was walking
courtship They used to roam UP as
far as the state road. and down as far
as the river. and Rudie would fain
have talked of love. but Ivy talked of
baseball

ARMY WORM IS FOUND TO
Be CAUSING WHEAT DAMAGE
PROFESSOR GAMBEE OF HIGH
SCHOOL TELLS METHODS OF
FIGHTING PEST.

l.. p. Gambee, instructor in agrl-
culture at the Pendleton high school,
has investigated the reports OF dam
age to wheat by worm west OF
Birch creek and finds that the dep
relations by the army worm, pest
that is very destructive and Is gen.
orally found in the middle states.
Mr.. Gambee made personal trip
TO the Eldridge ranch and procured
n large number Of specimens OF the
worm. Two OF the specimens In al
cohol have been left at the East Ore
gonian office and may be seen by any
one interested.
The army worm. according to Mr..
Gambee. is the larva state of moth
very similar to the miller. The moth
can be distinguished by white spots on
the wings. The eggs are usually laid
in meadows or in clumps of dry
grass
There are several methods Of fight
ing the army worm with success. A
spray OF arsenate of lead or Paris
green Is effective and the moth may
be fought In the same way, Anoth-
er method is to head off the army
by digging a ditch. The worms move
straight forward and when 1t Is seen
they are headed for a field they may
be baffled by the digging OF q ditch
with n vertical side The will not be
able to climb out OF such ditch and
may be killed wholesale by dragging
n log through the ditch. This meth
cd OF fighting the worm is being fol-
lowed on Birch creek.
The high school class in agricul'
ture is studying the army worm and
will watch the worms while they
pupate into moths.
Anyone desiring more specific in
formation or advice as to how to
combat the army worm may reach
Mr.. Gambee by telephone at the
high school.

This map shows the parts of the

which Italy is believed to demand as
her price for keeping out Of a war

Italian population. according to re-

Austria is believed to be willing to
make are Insignificant as compared
with the demands. RI rr
1t is regarded as probable that, un-
der pressure from Germany the ne

the extreme Austrian concessions
would be insufficient to satisfy Italy

The demands of Italy. as outlined

To the north she desires the en-

frontier to Venoste. Passirie, and

Roveredo, Trent, BOzen, Mean, Bres-

desires to extend her frontier to the
