the returned eountryman was telling
his awed village friends.
cit s so thick the air is, that
wonder anything grows there. 1 plant
ed some corn in a box in my window

do you think came up?'
One suggested wheat, while another
thought oats more likely But most Of
them remained silent, looking at their

Withal he is the most tenacious, en-
during, "hanger-ou."
For all his fair face there is not an
umpire who has dealt with him who
will not assure you that this man
Jones" is the very fiend himself.
Can Be Hard as Steel.
Soft as molasses in general speech
and placid us a garden pool in general
behavior, this man Jones" can be
harder than steel when it comes to
making a decision and holding on to
his position.
He is the very acme of efficiency on
the field. He is not a baseball politi-
clan. He cares little for the jockeying
of the club owners and club managers
for small political advantage. He pays
less attention to securing star players
for himself than any manager in base
ball AS a matter of fact, he really
never had a team composed of good
players.
! But he won league and worlds cham
pionships just the same. He managed
| the White Sox for five seasons, won the
American league pennant and the
worlds championship in 1906, was sec
ond in 1905 and third in 1904-07-08.
When he did not finish in first place he
finished within a few decimal points of
it. He was always in the thick of a
ferce fight. He always made barrel

club.

. finished third in 1908, just nine points

Quits Baseball In 1908.
He quit the White Sox after the sea
son of 1908 because he could make
more money in the lumber business
than any baseball club could afford tC
pay him in salary. He was willing tC

Indians Predict Mild Winter

The Indians on the reservation
prophesy about this time of year as
to the sort of winter we are going to
have and this year they say the win
ter will be mild. They base this on
the fact that the acorn crop is light,
squirrels are seldom seen, muskrats
are slow in starting to build, fur-bear-
ing animals have thin coats and the
bark on the trees is loose, ETC. While
the conditions near the reservation
may be as indicated, we believe that
the acorn crop has been fully up to
average, though we have no govern
ment report on this. These pointers
will be worthy Of observation by those
who have any faith in the Indian

his own life by shooting in a st. Paul

Born Without legs

Joseph Brandenberger and his IL
year-old-son of Glenwood City were in
town Saturday. But that does not be-
gin to tell the story, for the boy, born
without tlegs, is a most remarkable
little chap. He is spry and active and
does stunts that would be almost I'M
believeable unless actually seen. With
the roller strapped securely to bit
of a foot that projects from his body,
the boy darts along the cement side
walks unassisted and, was some yards
ahead of his father most of the time.
Brandenberger was formerly farm
er in the Town of Glenwood, but he
moved to Glenwood City to give his
children the advantages of the city
schools. He has five other children,
all of whom are normal in every way.

To Wage War On Rats

infect that place. Beginning Oct. %
a vigorous campaign is going to be
carried on by the citizens of that

terminating all the rats in the Will

as he chooses. The weapons, accord

Leader, will be traps, poison, guns,
dogs and clubs. An embargo on food
for the rats has been declared by the
citizens of Spring Valley and the out
look for the rats is decidedly dark.

School Spirit

Coach Hayward is quoted as hav-
ing remarked chat in no col eye has
he ever witnessed so fine a grade of
the true school spirit as at the River
Falls normal. In it's opening games
this season, the Red & White did not
make very promising showing, but
the student body held their faith and
gave the players loyal support in ev-
cry way possible, boosting for the
team all the time. The evening be-
fore the Stevens Point game, even
though the chances for defeat loom
ed large, the students were out in
force to the mass meeting, and not a
pessimistic note was heard A fter
the meeting $50 or more of them pa
raded through the snow and slush
downtown, and in the afternoon be
fore the game they were out and at
it again. At the game they were
with the boys" going and coming,
and their encouragement and en-
thusiasm was reflected in the work
of the players to the extent of vic
tory. The schools spirit thus shown
is nothing more than co operation,
shown in more spectacular manner
IN college activities than in others,
perhaps, but nevertheless it brings
out forcefulfy the value of co-opera-
ton in every line, and every com
munity can profit by the lesson. The
spirit Of ''We're Witcha" will put
through to successful conclusion al
most any community enterprise, and
instead of attempting to discourage
the students in their rallies, it would
be far better to take lesson there
from for ourselves.
