Tough up to the seventh was masterful,
but the crafty game of the home team
was his ruin. In the first few innings
Mccullough had pitched a ball game.
The champions passed up the bad ones
and fouled off the good ones, making
Mccullough throw from a half dozen
to twice that many balls to each bat

the 80 mark this over exertion was bad

Yet withal Mccullough proved eff
fective up to the breaking point. The
champions forced one run around the
corners, partly thru daring baserun-
ming and because of Dancy's error, but
the Claybakers had given their
moundsman lead which looked suf-
f1cient to gain decision. Hits for
extra bases at critical times put Hig
gins behind in the count.

that Mccullough was awaiting. The

sacrifice hit and pass followed and
O'Leary decided on change in the
occupancy of the pitching mound.

meat hooks around his legs prepara-

choice. Eunick greeted his entry with
a single, which sent the winning run

In the latest arrival in that line. 1t
is street suit in which pOngee in the

this combination. Black used in just
the right proportion with sedate colors,

In this suit the skirt is forerunner
of promised styles for autumn. 1t is
a little shorter than spring models. 1t
hangs in the most uncompromising of
straight lines emphasized by box
plaits, very thoroughly pressed into
place. The black pongee is set against
the natural light ecru color in a border
about eight inches wide.
The coat is plain as to its body, with
ia panel effect at the front, below the
belt, which is of pongee. There are

URGED TO PLANT ON SHARES
Farmers and Business Men Agree This
is Fairest Way of Putting in
Wheat Crop,

That the gambling spirits still exists
ing farmers, is evidenced by their at
titude in regard to the big wheat drive
just launched by the state council of
defense. 1t had been planned to make
a campaign for 100000 acres of
wheat this fall and the council sent
out feelers to find just how the seed
wheat proposition should be handled.
Two schemes were suggested: One
to loan money direct to the farmers
with which to buy seed and the other
to stake the farmers on a crop share
basis Many farmers in various parts
of the state were sounded. In nearly
every instance the farmer would scorn
the plan to borrow money direct to pay
for the seed. He had money enough,
so he said, as a rule, to plant the nor
NAL acreage, but he didn't propose to
borrow to increase his acreage. He
was willing to put up his land and
his work against another mans seed
and then take his chances. In most
cases the farmers we're willing to give
one-fifth the crop for the seed. Some
even offered to give one-fourth the
crop.
1t also developed in the survey taken
that the city men who were expected
to put up the cash, for the loan fund
preferred to take gamble on the crop
share basis rather than loan their
money direct to farmers at a reason
able rate of interest. The gambling
spirit appealed to them. If the crop
were failure they would lose their
seed and the farmer his work; If an
average crop were harvested the city
man would get back about two bushels
for every one he furnished for seed; If
it were a bumper crop he would get
back from six to eight times as much
as he put in.
With the game of chance so popular
on both sides the council of defense is
now arranging to make up one big
Jack pot to throw in on the crop
share plan. The jack pot will be nam
died by a committee Of well known
business men and bankers and every
patron of the game will be given a
square deal and fare the same as every
other patron either in profits or losses.

WIND STORM AT PITTSBURG
Two Persons Seriously Injured When
Their House was Destroyed-Heavy
Damage to Property.

A windstorm which at times deVel-
oped cyclonic tendencies injured two
persons, one of them probably fatally,
and did extensive damage near and
in Pittsburg at o'clock the other
night. The small settlement of Kirk
wood, two miles south of Pittsburg,
bore the brunt OF the storm. There
a house in which there were six per-
sons, was completely wrecked, being
turned over and thrown against an
other house. Mrs. Lulu Friend of
Pittsburg is believed to have suffered
broken back and other injuries from
which she will die. She is thirty years
old. Her small son, who was with her
in the house, was not injured Or
vile Rodgers, 81, employe of steam
shovel company, received a fractured
skull and other injuries, but it is be-
lieved he will recover. The house was
the home of Earl Trisler. Mrs. Iris
Ter, sister of Mrs. Friend, and her
two small children were in the house,
but were not injured.
Electric, telegraph and telephone
poles were blown down by the wind,
making communication impossible for
some time after the storm. Reports
to Pittsburg indicated that the storm
first dipped down to earth about seven
miles southwest Of Pittsburg. At
Chicopee, mile west of Kirkwod, two
or three buildings were wrecked. A
path about mile in width was made
as far as Pittsburg. Much minor dam
age was done in the city.
