TRADERS trim SCRIBES
in GUARD RELIEF GAME
Newsapermen on Short End of 10 to 4
Score.

CommerciaIsm triumphed over litsrs-
ture by q score OF 16 to in eight pro-
tracted innings played at American
League Park yesterday by baseball
teams representing the Board of Trade
and the National Press Club.
Primarily, however, approximately $500
was added to the fund for the relief of
dependents Of District GUardsmen In Fed
eral service. About 600 men from Camp
Ordway saw the game. They were
massed in the grand stand after march
ing in company formation into the
grounds, led by the Third regiment band.
The band had a lot of fun. When it
seemed that the game threatened to lag.
reveille was played and the boys intoned:
IT can't get 'em UP. can't get 'em up,
I can't get 'em up at air.
The Press Club team was Handicapped
by reason of the fact that Capt Jack
Hamilton. Third Baseman Steve Early
and "Cy'' Cummins, first sacker, had
been ditched by accident or press OF
business and could not play.
After the Board Of Traders had scandal
ously piled up runs in the first half OF
the game, permitting the crippled
scribblers to score none, R. E Gessford
went IN as pitcher and curbed the romp-
ing tendencies Of the business men.
The lineup was:
Press Club-Center field, Stewart Price;
second base, Jack Marriman; shortstop,
Bill Stewart; first base. Charley King
catcher, Sandy Smith; third base. r. b.
Zachary; left field, John Walsh; pitcher
Jerome Connor, R. F. Gessford; right
held, "Mique" Flynn.
Board of Trade-Third base, r. L
Connor; first base, NJ. A. Mcdonald;
second base, A. v. Landvoigt; pitcher,
A J. Walker; catcher, C. H Pardoe, +.
8. Smith; shortstop, A A Brandt; left
field. J. T. Davis; center field, c. A
Ahalt; right field. F. S. Smith, Burns.
1t was g polite game. not even the
umpires being placed In peril at any
stage Of the contest The fact that the
infeld arbiter was Maj. Pullman, head
OF the police department, may have
had something to do with this circum-
stance. Dick Woodward presided behind
the bat
No blame is attached to any one for
the failure to keep a box score or a
score by innings. In fact, most Of the
more or less responsible officials
vehemently declared, when it was all
over. that they hadn't the slightest idea
as to what the score might be.
The game was enjoyed by a crowd of
perhaps 1000, but all those who bought
tickets did not attend.

New Quarters Necessary, Says su-

The number Of applicants for admission
to the Home for Incurables, at Thirty

we had Tuesday and the crowd in the

the average North Dakotan. The crowd
began to arrive early and the streets
fairly swarlned with people until even
ing. The parade was one of the largest
we have seen in the city on such an oc;
casion. It was lead by the local hhnd
followed by the old soldiers and the w.
r. c., in automobiles. Then came he
school children one thousand strong, and
the local lodge Of Elks, who never fail to
pay their respects to the flag on every
occasion. The line Of march to the

SENATORIAL
RACE. 1 | |: IN The |
[|N|E[|GHl'

The return of Senator McCumber tn
the state has renewed interest in the
contest for the United States Senator.
The many elements Of political uncer-.
stainty entering into the situation only
lend energy. to the political gossipers.
The entrance of Nestos into the race is
interesting, largely because It adds a
T1urther element of uncertainty. 1t is
generally conceded that he cannot win
but from whom he will draw the bulk of
his vote is a problem which worries pol
iticians. It is generally conceded that
he will draw more votes from McCum-
ber than from Hanna, but just what the>
relative strength Of the two principal
candidates was before his entrance IS
also a bone of contention among poll
ticians.
There is considerable evidence that
Hanna is gaining strength rapidly over
the state. While His trip with the
Peace Party is looked upon in some
quarters as having weakened his candi-
dacy yet shrcWd politicians are of the
opinion that when the votes are counted
this guess will be changed. The great
mass of the reading and thinking pub
lie of North Dakota do not want war and
1t is believed that they will give Cover
nor Hanna full credit for his endeavor
to assist in bringing about peace senti-
nnent. 1t is contended that those who
are thoroughly Mortified with the pres
ent European War and those who will
grasp at any straw to create sentiment
against war will be influenced by the
Governors attitude. On the other hand.
he has repeatedly announced that he oe-
lieves in a reasonable measure Of pre-
paredness, especially strong navy. q
strong coast defense and enough Of q
mobile army to protect our country from
Invasion
Wherever Governor Hanna, speaks he

clans here are guessing that in a three
cornered fight between Nestos, Hann,,

The temperature Of silage in concrete,

.silos was found to be practically the
same inEthe fall and winter at the Mis-
souri, Experiment station. The temper
atures Of the silage next to- the wall in
general followed the mean temperature
of the air but was on the average of ten
degrees warmer In the center Of the
silo the Temperature rose the first to
10 days and then gradually decreased till
April. Analysis Of silage from the CEN
ter and next the wall Of each one Of
these silos showed no difference In the
composition due to the different mater
ials. There was practically no differ
ence in the temperature Of the silage
due to the materials of which the, silos
were built or. Of the method Of construc-
tion Of the silos mentioned above. One
kept the silage as warm as the others.
The conclusion of these experiments
were that the things to consider in put.
ting up a silo are, first, cost, cost of
maintenance and durability and the es-
sentials are to have a. an air-tight
wall, (2) smooth wall so the silage
can settle well and (3) sufficient

FINANCES OF
THE STATE IN
GOOD SHAPE

Bismarck, May 31.-The finances of the
state are in an excellent condition ac-
cording to State Auditor Carl O. Jor-
genson. There are no unpaid bills and
100000 in the general fund for the pay
ment of current expenses of the state
government. This means that the year
will be completed with good working
balance in the state treasury.
When Governor Hanna assumed she
duties of Office in January, 1913. he
found total deficit in the general FUND.
from the preceding biennial period of
$259,9s3.O5. This large sum was Que
state institutions in the nature of credit
balances; unpaid bills and unpaid out
standing warrants against the general
fund.- There was also $4,000 which s:ad
been transferred from the wolf bounty
fund to the general fund. which had to
be made good, there was also registered
and unpaid Wolf Bounty certificates
amounting to sS,606.5Q as accumulated
claims for the destruction of glandered
horses amounting to s29,346.
This deficit which totals $347,935
has been taken care of during the pres
ent administration, and good balance
is reported in all Of the funds.

Mr. Hill was born near Guelph, Ont. :.
in 1885, and thus he was nearing his
eightieth birthday. At the age Of f'1iftecn
he began to work in Il grocery st6re and
held that position for three years.
That restless Scottish-Irish teinpera-
ment and his dreams of bigger things
than grocery store work, caused him tc
come to the United States. It was in
July. 1856, that he reached sSt.s Paul.
Then the railroad systemSof the north
west ended at Galena, ILL.,. communica-
tion, with that point just 271 miles from
St, Paul was by stage coach in winter
and by Steamboat on the Mississippi in
summer. - :;
Without technical preparation of any
sort. Hill took a job as clerk in the office
of the Mississippi Steamship Co.. which
he held for nine years. Then.he became
agent for the Northwestern Packet Co.
Two years later-the same year he
married Mary Theresa Mehegen, of, St.
Paul-he went into the general fuel
transportation business on hiss own ac-
