Street Manager Nick Nuremberg did
not rush things along when he Sc
cured his lease on the new building.
which he Is now occupying. but took
matters quietly, delaying his opening
week or more in order that he
might have everything fixed up in
nrst-class shape before inviting the
public to make him a visit.
The result more than susta'ns Mr..
Rutenberg's judgment in this matter.
for he has without a doubt the most
attractive and comm odious tire store
in the city and with the Falcon repu-
tation behind him there Is no doubt
hut that he will make record In

popularity of the Falcon.

Help Keep Warren Clean

The city has bought six metal
receptacles for waste paper and
placed them on prominent corners
in the city with the urgent request
that all waste paper products be
placed therein instead of being
thrown on the streets. On each
receptacle is printed the words:
Help Keep Warren Clean. The habit
many people have of throwing paper
in the streets, must be stopped, as
it makes the city present an untidy
appearance The part of town near
the post office is often Uttered with
paper by those who receive mail
European towns, especially those OF
Sweden, are noted for their tidy
appearance. The streets are swept
regularly and no rubbish is ever al
lowed to accumulate. Let Warren
get the reputation of being the
neatest and cleanest little city in the
whole state. Use the receptacles.

BASE BALL.
Warren Opens Season with a Win

Warren Opens Season with Win.
The first game of the season for
the local ball tossers was played
with the speedy aggregation from
Humbolt on Tuesday evening. Hum
bolt came down loaded with an ex-
ceptionally strong lineup; but the
superior playing Of the Warren
veterans proved to be too big an
undertaking for them. The score
resulted Il to 6 in: favor of the
locals. \ .~, -,
Wingfeld received for the locals in
his usual big league style, while
Russell on the mound pitched an ex-
cellent game.
Better and more complete write
ups of the games will be given in
the Sheaf hereafter when the "cub"
will be on the job covering the
games.

A Faithful Machine.

The engine and generator that was
installed in the city electric light

which has been in constant service
ever since was retired on Monday
this week, the Sheaf plant being the
last one to be supplied with power
from it. Installing the alternating
current made a change necessary
The old engine will be shipped to

pie more readily than old take hold
of new ideas and become leaders in
the worlds progress. How import

humanity upward and onward. Pres

The high school base ball team
competed with the Stephen team last
Thursday, the score being one to
three in favor of the visiting team.
| The game was a good one and we
were proud of the work done by our
boys. The Stephen team had played
Thief River and the score was one
to fifteen in favor Of Stephen. Thief
River played our team and won by
score of six to two, so when our
team held Stephen down one to three
we could justly be proud of the
work done. Stephen made one score
in the first and two in the fifth inn
ing, and Warren scored in the last
half of the ninth.
