BToak Even With Overly.

During the week the locals
have met the Overly team
twice, winning the Sunday
game on the Overly grounds
by a score of 2 to l, and loosing
a ten inning contest here yes
terday afternoon by a score of
7 to8.
Yesterdays game was pretty
much of a burlesque on the
great American game. After
having the game safely packed
in the ice the first two innings.
the locals commenced getting
over-generous, with the result
that the visitors nosed out the
winning run in the tenth frame.
Bottineau started off in great
shape, scoring three runs in
the first and two in the second.
In the third Overly annexed
two, but Bottineau came back
in the fourth and registered
two more. This ended the run
getting for Bottineau, how
ever, while the visitors secur-
ed one in the fourth, one in
the fifth, two in the sixth and
one in the seventh, thus tying
up the score. During the
eighth and ninth frame neither
side scored, while in the tenth
the locals appeared to have
been suddenly stricken with
palsy, half a dozen boots and
clean muffs giving Overly the
winning run.
While the closeness of the
score after the first few innings
made the game interesting
from a spectators standpoint,
it was a game replete with err
rors and listlessness. For
practically three hours the
game dragged on. While per-
haps not Intentional on the
part of the participants, there
appeared to be a d e 8 i r Z
ON the part of the play
ers to wear out the crowd. And
they almost succeeded. A lit
tie more pep and ginger and
less stalling would help great
ly to popularize local games
with the fans who like to see
action.
Comartin was on the mound
for Bottineau and struck out
fourteen men and allowed nine
hits.
Campbell pitched the first
four innings for Overly, secur-
ing six strike outs, while Bun
dy, who relieved him in the
fifth, secured eleven strikeouts.

SUNDAYS GAME,

Sundays game at Overly
was of real big league calible,
both teams playing gilt edge
ball. Woods did the throwing
for Bottineau and allowed only
one measly hit, winning the
game by the score of z to /.
Bottineau plays it's next
game on the home grounds
Wednesday morning of next
week, this being the second
day of the fair. The fast Lans-
ford team is pitted against the
locals for this game and an ex-
citing contest may be looked
for.

Time TO CLEAN UP HERE
Let Us Win the "SpotIess Town.
Title for Ourselves.
Officials, Business Men, Women and
Others Will Work to Make Place
Inviting and HeaIthfui.

Our town ought to have a cleaning
such as has never been known here
before. The alleys, the lots, the build
ings, the homes, In fact, all parts Of
the place should undergo general reno
walton. When it is all over we should
be able to give it the title of "Spotless
Town" Let us get together and start
something.
The housewife should get to her
spring housekeeping. Mr.. Hubby
should be beating the carpets. It's the
time to Clean Up and Paint Up.
In other communities North, South,
East and West, the Clean Up and
Paint Up period has always been a big
success. For that reason under the
present activity and growth. our town
should be able to show results that
will compare favorably with other
communities. The business men will
show an interest in tho movement
and will lend support In any way pos
sible to aid in the cleaning up. They
think the Clean Up and Paint Up
movement is a mighty good one, not
only to advertise, but to make the
town attractive for the visitor.

in Europe in much the same light as

With food prices. as our correspond

brood sows be given about one-fourth
of a pound of tankage daily in connec-
ton with enough barley to keep them
gaining at the rate Of about half a
pound per head daily.
The spring pigs which are being
fattened should be fed from one-fourth
to one-third of a pound OF tankage
per head daily. in connection with
enough barley to keep them gaining.

How to Start a Campaign That VIII Produce

\1RST: Take your telephone in hand-get q halfdozen

upon a meeting to be held a day or two later-each
or you agreeing to have present at that meeting other cor

Second: When the meeting is called, organize at once.
Select a chairman and other officers 1--WE suggest enough
vice chairmen to include every cooperating organization
and interest), and instruct the new chairman to appoint all
the chatrmen OF the various subcommittee within a
day or two-these and the officers to constitute the general

finance and publicity, one to provide wagons for rubbish
children, and one to interest all merchants.

building. St Louis, Mo-, and get free literature telling how
to clean up and paint up the town. together with reports
of results In cities, towns and villages throughout the
country.
Fourth: Get as many men and women as possible to
