Mortonson, Office manager of

yesterday in comparing the au-

vanced IL reasons why the auto
is superior to the horse.
"The auto is not eating when
it is not working" he argued.

"A horses pulling capacity
is limited. A motor is built to

see the show, stepped up to the
box office in a small town and
said:

asked.
The applicant drew himself

HIS ANNOUNCEMENT

Charles D. Wright, a Fergus
Falls banker, has framed an
announcement that is a choice
burlesque on he methods so Oft
en- used by candidates for office
in the primaries. Mr.. Wright
says he is going to run for the
legislature, and bids for sup
port with the following pub
lished statements:
Owing to the insistent and
almost irrepressible demands
of my numerous friends in the
city, and throughout the coun-
ty, imploring me to become a
candidate at the coming pri-
mary election for members of
the legislature, and having rea-
sons to believe that | will re-
ceive the unanimous support Of
the newspapers Of the county,
| have decided to give the mat
ter my most serious and care
full attention.
| will be a candidate Of the
party where the prospect of
success is best. This matter
will be serious one and | in
tend to be on the winning side,
if possible.
If l should finally decide to
be a. candidate l will promul-
gate a platform that will con-
tain so many planks that the
reader will forget the first one
before he reaches the last one.
l will be very glad to receive
suggestions from my constitu-
ents, as | do not intend to have
any of my rivals Guido me in
= lis respect.
It is unnecessary at this time
to go into minute detils of my
past life. All these matters are
we'll known, as l have lived in
tbs county since the waters re-
coded and left the first dry land
in Leaf mountains. A short
but untruthful biography in

unrecognized halftone portrait
of myself will be sent to each
voter through the mails. Also

will appear from time to time in

tons of the opinion-molders of

A word of caution at this time
Make no promise ito other can
didates, just mark time and
wait until you hear from me
again.

ST. Louis, Sept. 23.-Roger Hornsby,
the brilliant young third baseman of
the St. Louis National League club,
was born and reared at Fort Worth,
Tex. He is twenty-three years old.
Hornsby had his frst season in a
league in 1915, when he played short
for Denison in the Western Associa-
ton. He made a good impression on
Bob Connery. scout for the Cardinals,
and was bought by the St. Louis club
early in the spring for his first league
season for delivery in the fall.
When Hornsby showed up in St.
Louis in September last he looked any
thing but promising. He was thin as
rail, weak looking, had bad posi-
ton at the bat, acted like an amateur
IN the field and could not hit lick.
Every one said that Connery had made
a mistake in buying him.
During the winter of 19l5-16 Horns
by slept twelve hours a day and fed
himself like milk-fed chicken on
sweet milk. He changed his style Of
hitting from crouch and chokcd
bat TO perfectly upright stand and a
full, free swing with long bat. When
