RURAL CARRIERS TO MEET.
Will Mingle with People of Putney at
July Celebration.

The rural carriers of Windham
county will meet in Putney, July +, to
mingle with the people of that town
in their general celebration of the day,
and it is very much hoped that the
rural patrons of Windham county will
come and join hands with the carriers
and people of Putney to make July 4,
1916, a red letter day of good fellow
ship.
The carriers throughout the county
feel keenly the responsibilities that
rest upon them in these stirring times
of war agitation. We as a body would
be very glad to meet our friends at
Putney, that we may be better friends
by having a day of social enjoyment
together. May we thus improve the
service by ENJOYING a day in the beau
tiful village of Putney, that Old
Glory may ever wave in the land of
the brave and the free.

Here is hoping that the managers of the
new Vermont baseball league, which IN
cudes clubs in Barre, Montpelier. BurIing-
ton and Rutland, Will follow VISIONS
ways and keep their salary limits at a
reasonable basis, and then stick to their
agreements. Major league salaries in small
cities means the early demise of baseball.

The advice is good; but Barre. Mont
peIcr, Burlington and Rutland all have
had the sorrowful experience in the days
of the old Northern league. so that they
ought at this time to fight shy of excessive
expenditures fer players as we'll as for
other features of a league Brattleboro S
experience IS cumulative evidence that
small cities and towns in Vermont cannot
hope to run big league baseball. but at the
same time it is agreed that real good sport
can be secured with evenly matched teams
of lesser caibre than those which are ca
vorting about the big circuits

Not all the sacrifice is made by the men
who face the nations enemies on the field
of battle, as the Pittsburg Gazette Times
points out. Not all of required service to
country can be performed by those who
engage in some of the official activities de
manded by the homeland in its time of
stress. The stay-at-homes can be and
must be as potent in victory for the Stars
and Stripes as the troops and the guns.
The burden of personal sacrifice is as
heavy on the families of the men at the
front as upon the soldiers themselves.
Don't forget that. And remembering, ex-
tend the strong arm of helpfuIness and
the kindly word of cheer to those whose
eyes strain south in the days to come in
dread and longing, Those who have given
| of their flesh and blood must be sustained
in body and soul if wretchedness is not t
be multiplied many times Even a little
war is a terrible thing Those who are moi
in it must be of it to the extent of aiding
and comforting those directly involved

caused by the lure of the city and the
rapid abandonment of farming. Such
a method ought not to be tried until
everything else has failed. The efforts
of our department of agriculture and
the various state universities to spread
instruction in scientific agriculture and
home economics as applied to life on
the farm, are a start in the right direc-
ton. Improved conditions of market
ing farm produce so that the farmer
may get his share of the profits, will
also have their effect in checking the
migration from the rural sections and
turning it back to the farms.

DYSPEPSIA
OF WOMEN
Special Treatment Required.

Many women suffer from form of
indigestion or dyspepsia which does not
yield to ordinary treatment. While the
symptoms are similar to those of ordi-
nary indigestion, yet the medicines
usually prescribed do not restore the
patients normal condition.
There seems to be a kind of dyspepsia
caused by arrangement of the female
organism. While this appears to be the
same as ordinary indigestion it can be
relieved only by a medicine which, be-
sides acting as stomach tonic, is good
for female ailments. Read what such
a medicine did for Mrs. Williams =

If war comes with Mexico, it will
be as all other wars have been - a
boys war. Anyone who has seen a
regiment or a brigade of state troops
marching off to the southern border,
has been attracted at once by the
youthful appearance of the soldiers;
and they are young, but as compared
with the millions of boys of Il and IS
years serving in Europe, they are old.

BISMARCK HIGHS WILL PLAY
LAST CAME Of SEASON HERE
WITH WASHBURN TEAM TONIGHT
Fans Will Have Last Opportunity
to See Near Champions in
Action.
PRELIMINARY GAME
FRESHMEN.JUNIORS

The Bismarck and Washburn high
school basket ball teams will meet at
the high school gymnasium tonight IN
what will probably be the last home
game for the Bismarck team. Fur
thermore, it will probably be the last
appearance of the team, which has
made such an enviable record this
season, as the high school team. All
members Of the quint are Seniors, and
are ineligible to play basket ball after
this season.
The Bismarck team has m2:,c rec
ord this season that everyone in the
capital city can be proud of. They
have not lost a game on their home
floor and have only lost one game,
while playing away from home. The
team is now in the running for the
state championship, having clearly es-
tablished their claim to the champion
ship of the western section of the
state, as well as the central portion.
Regardless of the outcome of games
to be played at the Dickinson tourna
ment next week, which will not affect
their standing.
Coach Hahn has been putting the
team through a series OF PAGES since
it returned from Valley City and
jamestown, and will have his men in
tip top condition for the game tonight.
The Washburn team is a strong aggre
cation, and good game can be ex-
pected.
Bismarck fans have been showing
their loyalty 20 the team in the past
few games, and have turned out to
the games en- masse. Their support
has been large contributing factor
to the success of the team.
A preliminary game between the
Freshmen and Junior teams will be
played ats o'clock. The teams are
evenly matched and will put up a
game well worth seeing.

investigation OF Wizards reasons for

the eastern fans have been asking
why Willard failed to show there. The
chief reason, of course; was that Jess
was hog fat and had to work lot Of
the pork off in the gymnasium before
daring to show himself on the scene
of the fray.
Wizards anxiety to decrease
weight rapidly may have been respon-
