The exciting game of the bunch was
that between Strasburg and Linton
Thursday of last week. The Stras-
burgers banged along in good style
and succeeded in holding the long end
of G-to score when the Lintontes
came to bat. With one man down and
two on bases, Edwards, the Linton
third sacker, came to bat and landed
one out of the bushes for homer
1t was the end of the game The To-
calls had been playing rather logy ball
until the stem winding finish in the
ninth. Hamilton was pitching and do
ing fairly well, but rotten playing be-
/ hind him nearly lost the game. Ed
wards, however, proved to be the hero.
In addition to Edwards, there were
home runs during the contest by Kohl
and Erickson.
Saturday the Linton champions
"Shl " IldLcitOIi lbI tIloLncT game
with Hazclton's prize bunch. While
the score was not large, there was no
doubt as to the result at any stage of
the game. Linton started the first in
, ming with three scores IIaZclton
F, picked off one now and then until the
lend of the game when they had two
scores. Linton also added couple of
tallics. The finish left the score 5 to
2. These teams have. played four
times together this season and Hazel
ton has gotten away with just one
game.
Sunday the Indian boys from Fort
Yates were the contestants. They are
a fine bunch Of fellows and play a
clean, snappy game. However, they
were considerably outclassed, espec-
tally in the Unfolding department OF
the game. Hamilton pitched for Lin.
ton. Monday they played second
game which was somewht more even
but Linton was again the winner
Erickson pitched and did good work.

WOMEN ON FARMS

"The woman on the farm is the most
important factor in agriculture. Her
domestic work undoubtedly has a di-
rect bearing on the efficiency of the
field workers; her handling of the
home and its surroundings contributes
to the cash intake, and, in addition.
hers is largely the responsibility for
contributing the social and other fea-
lures which make farm life satisfac-
tory and pleasurable. On her rests
largely the moral and mental develop
ment of the children, and on her atti-
tude depends in great part the i'm
portant question of whether the sue
ceeding generation will continue to
farm or will seek the allurement of
life in the cities"
With all the Importance and value
of the woman's agricultural work, she
has not the vote to bring about better
conditions in her farm life. The
schools, good roads, bridges and all
the country necessities are denied hel
opinion and judgment. Possibly rura
politics need adjustment to include
women's votes.

ANGER

Ever stop to consider how foolish is
anger-how useless? Not only this,
but anger weakens and unnerves and
renders US unfit for battle, be that
battle IF the brain or the Drawn.
Ever watch two professionals spar?
See the clean-cut exhibition of skill
and science as each receives and re-
turns blow for blow. But wait till
one becomes angry. Gone is all that
fine science and in it's place is the
brute lust for battle. Now see how
terribly unprepared is the angry man
to stand before his smiling adversary.
Passion driven and furious, he is an
easy mark, and his defeat is foretold
from the beginning. Again and again
the scientific blows of his cool and
quiet opponent beat down his guard
and are driven to vital parts of his
person, and blind with passion he is
powerless for defense, to say nothing
of offense.
AND as IN the sparrlng ring, so in
the larger circles of life. The man
who can with smiling face and stout
heart meet the blows of life is armed
for the fray and victory is his. The
shafts of opposition, of envy, of NAL
ice, Of hatred, roll from him as the
water from the back of a duck. He
is impervious to attack He is uncon-
querable.
Does your temper give way under
the annoyances and vexations of life I?
Then stop-back up-get a fresh grip
on yourself.
Remember, anger never conquers
any but the heart that harbors it.
Smile.

THE DANGER OF rLLITERACY

1t is gratifying to note that the ten
dency of the age is setting more
strongly to general education of the
youth of the land. Many states, una
BILE to solve the educational problem
in any other way, have passed COM
pulsory school laws, and in some To-
calities these are being enforced.
Needless to say that where such is the
case the results are most gratifying.
Still there are many sections of our
country where this is not the case
many sections where ignorance is still
at a premium.
This should not be. No child should
aver be permitted to reach maturity
without being given the ground work
of liberal education.
There can be no greater menace to
the safety of this republic than that of
ignorance. 1t is the father of crime
and the mother of treason,
Of late we have been deluged with
argument for national preparedness.
To our way of thinking the most eff
fective preparedness that this nation
could attain to would be to see that
every child within it's borders is lifted
above the soul paralyzing slough of
ignorance. 1t would be worth more
than the entire heavy ordnance of the
kaiser or all the dreadnaughts of
Britain.
"Vox populi, vox Del" is indeed no
BILE sentiment, but it is true only inso-
far as the voice of the people is the
voice of an enlightened, intelligent
people. 1t were mockery of an omnis-
cient God to suppose otherwise.
Let us have people awake to the
great fact that this land can never be
what the Creator intended it should
be until cur people are all intelligent,
educated, well-informed citizens.
There are few social or political
problems of which education is not the
sure solution.

I'd Rather Be Square

I'd like to be rich, and | wonder who
wouldn't,
And yet if it cost me what some peo-
pie say,
I'd like to be rich and find that I
couldn't.
There's too much worth while that is
lost by the way.
To sacrifice friends and ideals to sur
My heart and my conscience, my soul
and my mind
And sell all my dreams for a dollar
marked splendor
Would leave me too poor for the rich
es I'd find.
I'd like to be rich, there is pleasure in
money
It's good stuff to have, and it's good
stuff to spend,
1t helps you to pay for your milk and
your honey,
And gives you a chance to be nice to
a friend.
I'd like to be rich but I'd never be
be willing
To pay such price as some men dc
for gold
The cost is too high and the pace is
zoo killing,
And too many things must be barter

There was once a lady from Dexter.
Ia, who spent five solid hours rooted
to one spot on the rim Of the Grand
canyon, during which time the strong
light Of the desert afternoon melted
into pools OF turquoise and purple
haze; the mile-long shadows flung
themselves into the depths or went
striding across the plateaus. I'll
be picking the pockets of my own soul
herein minute. But, anyway, am
trying to tell you that this lady from
Iowa witnessed sunset In the Grand
canyon; and when night came she
found her tongue.
1t is highly gratifying she sighed.

Who is the Boss?

The superintendent of a big depart
ment store in Boston conducts a school
of craftsmanship in his establishment,
and one of the first questions he puts
to his class of beginners is: "Who is
the boss?"
After statesmen pupils have guessed
every official about the establishment,
the superintendent explains. "No, no,
no; he is not the boss. The real boss
in this store is the customer. It's the
customer that yon and I are here to
please. It's the customer who pays
your wages and mine. Now, If you are
sitting behind your counter, doing
nothing, and you see me coming, don't
jump up; but if you see the customer
the boss-coming, jump! That al
ways makes deep impression"

TO DODGE THE LIGHTNING.

From the pntladelphia Inquirer.


from the Philadelphia Inquirer
The fear Of being struck by lightning
is both very real and a very sensible
fear.
But lightning can be avoided like all
other evils. 1t will strike in certain
places and 1t will not strike in other
places There are reasons for it's be-
haUior in both cases. for nature never
operates by chance.
A steam engine or a railroad coach is
as safe as any place in the world as far
ever been struck by lightning while he
was aboard a train.
The business part of a city likewise is
never struck by lightning Neither are
of record that insurance companies never
have any losses from lightning striking
any building. with metallic sides and
framework of iron and steel.
steel battleship is also safe from
the bolt from the clouds. as is steel
windmill M Il, tower This is because every
rod and needs no further protection than
they can give themselves
There is another list of things which
lightning will sure strike. 1t will strike
a country house or a house in the out
skirts of a town. 1t likes to hit a barn,
church, school house, tree stack or ami
NAL, especially if it is near a wire fence.
AS for a house, the safest place in a
lightning storm is your iron or brass bed.
1t is very dangerous to stand near the
bed because you are taller than The bed.
The reason why you are safe when lying
on it is that the bed head and foot ex-
tend above your head The current will
not leave the bed to pass through your
body. The walls and the floor of the
room may be ripped to pieces, but you will
be safe as long as you lie still in your
bed.
Feather beds offer no protection what
ever from lightning unless they lie on
a metal bed If the bed is Of wood and
the springs are steel the weed of the bed
may be split to pieces, but you will
nevertheless remain unframed
During the day the safest place in a
house is in the center of a room, provided
there is no stove near.
Contrary to popular opinion it makes
no difference whether doors or windows
are open or closed Lightning can get
in under any circumstances if it wants to.

MANY AGENCIES AT WORK
Most Active Fight Against Tubercu-
iosis Is Being Carried on at
Numerous Points.

Statistics made public by the Ma
donal Association for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis show that
nearly 5000 agencies are now listed In
the fight against tuberculosis In the
United States, an increase of /, 6OO per
cent since 1904, when the national
warfare on this disease was started.
These figures are taken from new
tuberculosis directory issued by the
association.
The list includes 557 sanatoria and
hospitals, 15S tuberculosis boarding
houses, 80 hospitals for the insane and
80 penal institutions making special
provision for tuberculosis, 455 dis
pensaries, 31O open-air schools, and
1924 antituberculosis associations
and committees. 10 these are added
15S Canadian institutions and associa-
lions, making a total of 3,OS7. The di-
rectory also gives a summary of mu-
nicipal and state legislation on tuber-
culosis.
When the national association was
formed in 1904 and the first list of
agencies was printed, only 1873 organi-
cations and institutions were found.
The second edition of the directory in
1903 reported GAO different agencies
and lao We're listed in the third edi-
ton published in 1911. On the basis
of the latter figures, the number OF

Temperature Of Food Chanlber-Bac-
.eria multiply very slowly below SO. AT
Sc they multiply rapidly. Milk sours
before all Of it is consumed. Vegetables
wither and meats spoil in a few days.
Such Il refrigerator means much wasted
food and slight danger from putrefied
food. If As is given temperature under
40, 20 is a liberal allowance for a tenn
perature of SIS.
Ice Consumption-The amount Of ice
consumed by this refrigerator makes
its cost of maintenance prohibitive. a
box costing twice as much would save
the extra cost in ice in less than two
seasons. The performance of this box
IS only about one-sixth the calculated
perfect for box of it's size.
Humidity-There was no precipi-
tated water on the walls anywhere eX-
cept for a little dampness on the roof
Of the food chamber, the bottom OF the
ice chamber. A relative humidity Of

mir holds very little moisture. AT such
q humidity meat and food will not mil
dew On the other hand, it is not dry
enough TO damage eggs or other foods
which must not be kept too dry. The
score for humidity is 6.S out of a pos
sible s.
Circulation of air-That this is fair,
within the box, is shown by the alb
sence of moisture from the walls.
However, a proper circulation is one
in which the air from the food cham
Der has a chance to flow over the ice,
deposit it's moisture and doors there

Electricity Kills Insects.

A process has just been developed in
the department Of agriculture by
means of which insects and pests may
be killed by electricity. The process
consists in the application Of salt wa
ter to the ground that is to be treated
and then causing q current Of cleo
tricity to pass through the soil. The
current generates gas which will In
stantly kill all germs, larvae and in.
sect pests In the soil, without in any
way injuring the vegetation. A large
area of ground can be treated by dig
cling shallow trenches in which pow.
erful current can be developed.
