WABENO SWAMPS SURING

Last Sunday Wabeno drafted Town
sends star pitcher, Holly Boehm, and
tried him out against Surfing with as
tonishing results, Is to 2.
The Suring Sand Cranes were sup
posed TO be the equals, if not the SUI
periors, of the local aggregation; but
they were helpless before Wabeno'sdis-
play of hitting, running, and the steady
work in the field behind Boehm's good
pitching.
1t was pretty game until the sixth
inning, when the Wabeno boys went on
a batting spree, amassing eight runs
on base on balls, three errors, three
hits and a double steal Lardinois re-
ceived poor support and was hit con-
stantly and hard.
Next Sunday Wabeno plays Crandon
and large crowd is expected to see
the boys avenge their to l defeat of
six weeks ago.
The team is playing nice game. and
with the present lineup some good

SEVERE STORM

About the heaviest storm of the sea-
son occurred here Sunday afternoon.
A number of trees were blown over
on the road to Carter, otherwise very
little damage was done here.
At Carter, however, the storm was
much worse. The barn at E 0. Mars
tad's place was blown over completely
and the new barn of E. Hemenway
was moved off the foundation several
feet. Nearly all the citizens of Carter
went out and assisted in replacing it..
The awning on the Phil Meilke build
ing was torn off and a large window
broken.

The itinerant peddler is destroyer
of local business enterprises. He pays
no taxes, he pays no rent, hires no
help, buys no clothing or lumber or
hardware, or jewelry of the local mer-
chants. He employs no local attorney,
patronizes no local dentist, contributes
to 40 local church or fraternal organ
ization. Because of this, we impose a
license fee upon him in order TO force
him to help him pay local government
al expenses and also to give the local
business men the protection 10 which
they are justly entitled. For exactly
the same reason, we impose import
custom duties upon foreigners who
ship goods into this country. We do
not believe in system of government
revenue which makes the home busi-
ness man pay all the taxes and then
permits the foreigner to sell his cheap
goods here free. We believe in high
import taxes for two reasons-to make
the foreigner pay for the privilege of
doing business here, and to protect the
home business man. This is not parti-
san politics-it is plain business sense,
The politionl party which will not sup
port such policy is not merely lack
ing in political sagacity-it is lacking
in business sense. We would not stand
for city council that repealed the
peddIers' license, nor will we stand for
National administration that re-
peals the protective tariff duties.

London did not expect such a blow as
the surrender of Kut-el-Amara. Com

authorities allowed the Irish to turn
their arms against the king in Dublin.
Now comes the final disaster
The public as yet is too stunned to
formulate its feelings. 1t has not had
time to digest the real meaning behind
Sponsiblity There is admiration
everywhere for the bravery and gal

Mesopotamia, which only intensif1es the
determination that this time the blame
shall not be shirked.
