Warren Drops Two to Fergus Falls.

Warren Drops Two to Fergus Falls
i, In, two poorly played games OF
ball on the part Of the local. nine
Warren reduced its winning percent
age by losing them both to the
strong Fergus Falls, aggregation.
Lack Of pep and team work and poor
ball playing accounts for the losses
and if the team wants to get in the
running again they must overshadow
these defects. -..... ... .
The first game which was played
Friday afternoon was close and in
teresting and went ten innings, the
final score being 5 to in favor of
the visiting team. Warren made
five errors which let in the majority
of the scores. Russell was on the
mound for the locals and threw a
fair game. Young heaved for Fergus
and threw excellent ball.
In the second game played in the
evening the final score was six and
four with Fergus on top. HaIbert
did the twirling for Warren and with
good support would have won the
contest. Jones was in the spotlight
for the visitors and pitched good
ball. Cline's home run in the fourth
featured the game.

WARREN GIVES SUPERIOR
TEAM CLOSE CHASE

Again the local nine dropped an
other game due to the effective work
of the "jinx". In the Sunday bat
tie with the Superior northern league
club at Grand Forks the Warren
nine played better ball in every de-
partment of the game; but as i'll
luck would have it the honors were
lost by margin Of one score. War
rem landed II blows to Superior's 10
and made only three errors to their
opponents five. Foster struck out
five men while the best pitcher on
the Superior club, Hewett, could
gather only three. The game was
of the freak variety, in that both
mines took a regular swatfest, Su-
perior crossing the home sack five
times in the second frame and War
rem repeating the stunt in the sixth
Outside of these two innings both
clubs were playing air-tight ball
and not until the ninth was the
winning run made by the badger
state town. In the last of the ninth
Warren came back fighting; but the
squirt was of no use. With two me1
down Gill smashed the sphere for &
two base drive, bringing Wolfe who
walked to first to third. Then the
fans were eagerly waiting to SCI
what the next man up would dc
and to their disappointment hi
struck out. Gill for Warren landed
five hits in five times up.

CHAUTAUQUA
NEXT WEEK
Five Days of Educational and Enter
tainment Features. Thursday,
Aug. to Monday Aug. 7.

Next week is chautauqua week and
the good people Of Warren and vi
cinity will have the opportunity of
hearing the country,s best lecturers,
musicians, singers and entertainers
Chautauqua programs are different
from the ordinary travelling organi-
cations in that they are well known
for their high class educational and
entertainment features, while the
other tent shows have the opposite
reputation. Do not confuse a
chautauqua with a circus. They are
about as much alike as a lyceum pro-
gram and a coarse vaudeville show.
The chautauqua is an American in
stitution and today is recognized as
an important factor In bringing the
people of the rural districts in con-
tact with the same forms Of enter=
tain1nent as the residents Of the
cities so often have the privilege Of
nearing, --5f1*4 81 "a Ir--'4isf--'''""'a
The program to be given at War;
rem is of a high standard and for
each day there is something differ
ent. A new company of entertain
ers and lecturers will be here every:
day. On one Of the days splendid
band music will provided. Every day
will be featured by some musical
organization Famous lecturers with
great messages will speak.
Secure your tickets early and be
sure to get them from the local CONF
I mittee who have worked so hard to
make it possible for Warren to have
such great programs for five days.
BY buying your season tickets from
the local men you will save fifty
cents on each ticket. They may be
secured at any leading business
house in the city.
Plan your work now so that you
may be able to take your family to
town for the entire five days. They
will appreciate it and so will you.

Warren II; Fergus Falls 6

The Warren team went to Fergus
Falls Tuesday and defeated the ag-
gregation of that city, to the tune
Of II to 6. The local nine was in
good condition and in spite of an all
day rain and a small crowd played
good ball. The Fergus twirler was
easy meat for Warren's strong bat
ting list and Cline still held up his
high batting average by knocking
the ball out Of the lot, reaching
third and coming home on an over
throw. Russell threw for Warren
and held the opponents down in
good shape until the seventh when
he retired on account of sore arm
caused by throwing wet ball. He
was relieved by Foster.

cedes, Texas. This is now our new
camping place Left Minneapolis on
July 12, arriving here on the 17th.
We travelled in Pullman cars. Our
first stop after we left the cities was
Albert Lea. A large crowd met the
train and the band played. Retired
at nine and when we woke up, we
were in Missouri, having passed thru
Iowa during the night. We made no
steps there except for coal and water.
From there we passed thru part of
Kansas and then into. Oklahoma:
From there into Texas. The first
place the soldiers were let off was
at Dallas, Texas. We marched thru
several of the streets. At San An
tonic we were given what we called
a reception. A lady bought us a
wagon load Of watermelons. At the
depot we were served with sand
wiches and iced tea. Post card
views were given to each one. We
also marched thru the streets there.
We had guards at every door, so as
to let no man out. When we hit
Texas, armed guards were placed
there. Even then one of our men
got thru and deserted us, but expect
to get him soon -.---. .,.---..
You have cool weather compared
to what we have down here. Still
the nights are much cooler than
what you have. A heavy dew falls
every night, so it leaves the clothes
damp. ',a"-r -r~"'4 ~s--r---'~- ~~'-<~~~..
We are camped close to a small
town. It is a low place, SO natur-
ally we have plenty Of bugs, mos
quitos and flies. All we have Under
us is our poncho, as no straw is tc
be had around this country. Our
most dangerous enemies are the
scorpions and rattlesnakes, both are
fatal. The scorpion is a bug that
resembles the crab. About two in
ches long and are of greenish
color. They crawl only, so are hard
to watch. The water is luke warm
it being canaled into Mercedes. We
have to carry the water but work
has been started to pipe it here. To
day we were marched three miles to
an artificial lake for a bath. But it
was so hot coming back that it did
not do much good. We are five
miles from the border. Six miles
fom here the Mexicans are moblizing.
They have had trouble with the
bandits. Some were killed only a
mile from here the day we arrived.
There are between $4,000 and 20 900
soldiers in the camp. It is hard for
us to get information as everything
is supposed to be censored, but our
captain told us last night that in
side, Of two weeks we would be in
Mexico. We are 80 miles from
Brownsville, where the colored regi-
ment was located. One company was
shot at while in bathing sounow we
have to have armed guards along
with us. ~ -
j. The people of Eexas are certainly
glad we came still the Mexicans To-
Gated here are friendly. There will
never be any war with the Mexican
goernment, but it is the bandits we
are after. They get across the line
and raid the ranches and beat it
back. The only way to get them is
to go into Mexico. .-
| have not the least idea how long
we will de down here.

400 ARE DROWNED IN SEA DISASTER
When Russian Ship Mercury Was Sunk in Black Sea by a Mine, Captain of Another Boat Was

Petrograd, June 24.-Four hun dred persons lost their lives, accord ing to latest reports, when the Rus sian passenger steamer Mercury was sunk in the Black Sea by a mine The total number of persons aboard the steamship was approx imately $50.
 The disaster occurred about 10 o'clock in the morning, off the vil- lage of GrigorIovka. The passen- gers felt tremendous shock in the forward part of the vessel, which went down, bow foremost, in five minutes.
 Survivors tell narrowing stories of the scenes that ensued. All avail- able steamers and tugs hastened from Odessa and rescued the sur vivors, clinging to life belts and the wFeckage. Five were taken from the masthead a few feet above the water. Many women still clasped babies in their arms.

 ITS ITS PATRIOTISM
If Call Is Made for Volunteers There Will Be d Great Rush to
 EnIist--Arkansas Gazette
 Urges Enlistment.

Little Rock, June Patriotism IS now running strong in Little Rock in everything but recruiting for the Arkansas National Guard The ob- jection to recruiting seems to be that there is little belief that re- cruits will really be needed. Should there be call for volunteers, and a declaration of war be made. then volunteers will fall over themselves to get to the recruiting offices.
 Practically all automobiles in the city now carry flags, and in Little Rock churches Sunday morning the congregations sang America"
 Several additional companies ar rived at Fort Logan H. Roots on Sunday afternoon and Monday morning, and of the two regiments only about four companies are ab- sent. These are expected before Wednesday, when the National Guard will be the guest of the busi- ness men of Little Rock at the base bali game between Atlanta and Lit tie Rock, and for barbecue after wards The troops will probably en- train for the border Thursday, or the last of the week at the latest.
 The Arkansas Gazette is the lat est local concern to urge enlistment among it's employees.

TO GROW STRAWBERRIES.
Extensive Plans May Be Perfected
 At Meeting Saturday.

Members of the Polk County PO- tato and Peanut Growers Associa- ton and other parties interested will meet next Saturday at the court house for the purpose of taking up the proposition of going extensively into strawberry growing. There is no question about the adaptability of this section of the state to the raising of strawberries, but in the past, the difficulty has been that berries have been grown in insuffi- cient quantities to make carload shipments. and hence the growers were up against the marketing problem Then, too, there has been no effort Co grow a uniform variety, especially fitted to meet the market conditions of this section.
 In the organization contemplated next Saturday, 1t is expected that an acreage of at least 100 acres will be pledged and that an agreement will be reached as to the variety to be planted
 The persons interested in this movement are very desirous that there be a good attendance so that the organization may be perfected and arrangements made to set out the plants in August
