in their move to snatch Buck Herzog fl om the grasp of J. McGraw. because Garry Hermann. in demanding George Cutshaw and Zack Wheat, would have wrecked the Dodgers and Schuyler Britton spurned s20 600 of- fer for Roger Murphy. Now the Robins have enticed a youngster from the western fold-a gent who Is re- puted to run Art Fletcher, Donnie Bush ct al., to the storm cellar when he lands in Brooklyn. Which will not be until September.
 Had the Superbas succeeded In swap for Herzog or tangled enough before the Cards for Hornsby, you could easily write your own ticket on Robie's band. You can almost do it as the case now rests.

 Don't overlook it, gents.

 In that turmoil over which Ban John son holds sway seven of the eight outfits have a mark of 800 or better. And not before in the march of the national disturbance in an eight club league has such a thing come to pass.
 And probably will not when the final chapter on the diamond has been written.
 Guy Morton. the Indians sensational sharpshooter who has been tucked on the shelf with a disturbed ligament, may never do any further great amount of caperings on the diamond. For weeks the spinal column of Lee Fohlis flinging faction has been dod- dering around hoping a ligament. which hopped out of socket, would move back home. Bt now that the medicine sharps have told the Indian he could get back to work, he cannot make the baseball cut any queen an- tics.
 In repeated workout trials Morton, who copped 10 out of his first 12 games, finds his wing will not saddle any baffling kinks on the pellet. When Morton came back, the Indian chieftain shouted that his clan would once more dash to the top, but the sensational Guy appears to have lost his cunning. And likewise the In- dians have about seen their last vision of flag,
 There are wags even among the printers, else why should the headline have been set up, "Matty Mcintyre Takes Schmidts Sob,'' when "job' 1t was he meant. For Coal Hill Charley has had rather little "sobs' since he tried his hand at piloting the Gull outfit.
 No matter what your friend ships or prejudtces happen to be, you can hardly avoid noting that Your Uncle Wilbert Robinson and his Superbas look like first past the post" With but single weak link in the chain, the Dodgers have gone laundering along at smashing stride in the Tener tussle, in spite of the fact that tallies have filtered through the leak at short, where Ivan Olson and Roger OMara are alleged to act as shot smiths.

And the authori- ties have taken steps to prevent repe- ton of that disaster.

New York, August 7.-New York made it three out of four from Chicago here today, winning the last game of the series, to 2. In the fifth inning with Giant runners on second and third bases, Lavender purposely passed Rariden, fill ing the bases. McGraw sent in Lobert to bat for Schupp and he cleaned the bases with a double.

The caucuses to nominate candi.
dates for town meeting election are
to be held the latter part Of this week
but there is not much interest mani
tested as yet. Frank Cromacks term
as selectman expires and James Gren-
mans term as lister. There Is a be-
lief on the part OF men familiar with
the town business that Bennington
this year ought to elect four listers.
The town now has population Of
10000 or more and three listers for
several years have had hard work to
complete the work inside the time
limit fixed by law. The legislature
last winter fixed up new town
trouble In the form of limited Offset
law and hedged it around with so
many restrictions that it will take
one lister good share Of his time to
do this work. The offset allowed is
not to exceed $1,000 to any one per-
son or firm and this has to be sup
ported by sworn statement giving
all the details The listers then have
to take the statement and investigate
1t fully through correspondence with
the creditor. 1t can be seen that this
means lot of extra work and In
Bennington and the other larger
towns four listers will not be too
many.

FROM WASHINGTON STATE.
Mrs. Corner Tells of Prohibition and
of the Weather and Her Chics.

By kind permission of Mr.. E. F..
Kunkel of this city we are permitted
to make the following excerpts from
a letter recently written him by his
sister, Mrs. Grace Corner, of Colfax,
Wash. Mrs. Corner was former
resident of Mexico.
The End of February and there is
an IL inch snow on the ground. It
has been showing for SO hours. The
trains are tied up in the mountain
regions. The weather is hard on
game and birds, as well as folks who
are in need of fuel. The fuel dealers
are unable to get cars thru, and the
situation bids fair to become serious.
We are now living in a saloonIess
town. Great experience, too. Trade
is picking up. In the cities they find
it difficult to get washwomen since
the dry law has gone into effect. The
former boozers are now not only self
supporting but also support their fami-
lies.
The prosecuting attorneys from all
over the State met at the Capital to-
day and have decided to arrest for
hear beer as well as for the real ar
ticle, if there are violations. So you
see we are strictly prohibition. Only
three persons in the county Jail at
present and none inthe city Jail.

MOTHER GOOD LETTER.
for Higher Things-Train-
ing in Agriculture.

Mexico, Mo-, February z, 1916
Mr.John Beal, Dear Editor:
was very much pleased to see the
old Hedge Dale picture in the Mes
sage again. 1t was very kind indeed
of you to publish it, and 1 sincerely
appreciate your kind interest toward
us.
We are all enjoying the good old
farm life, and are trying to get the
most profitable necessities thru our
country and High School days.
Our faces and appearances may be
the same, with very few changes,
but we are advancing daily in knowl-
edge, and are beginning to realize
the golden opportunities which lie be-
fore us.
We realize that success on any of
our good Audrain county farms
must be the result from good edu-
cation with an agricultural founda-
tion.
Growing pure-bred farm crops and
raising pure-bred live stock is sci
entiic factor for prosperity.
Our ambitions are to strike for
the higher things, believing that per-
severance and patience will win for
us our aims and great desires in the
end.
Yours truly,
RAYMOND S. SHOOK.
