FOR BALL SCORES
CALL
D. & A. 80
DELMARYIA 1903
Bond Bottle Sealing
BY Charles z. Moore.

Here are the members OF the club,
Their names and stations, too;
1t shows how each one plays the game
And what the players do.
"Cleaver Fowler" is the first in line,
A veteran of the game;
lie as the catcher of the team
Wins glory, cheers and fame.
When Cleave steps up behind the bat,
A smile upon his face.
It's death to those who try TO steal,
The dash to second base.
"Tom Sweeney" is the substitute,
And an all around man at that,
We all can play baseball
When Toms behind the bat
"Jones" next stands in the box,
And pitches with great care,
It's seldom his delivery wild
Which makes the batsman swear.
Oftimes the ball goes across the plate
In tantalizing curve;
When the batter fans ut the atmosphere
While Jones is on his nerve.
They call Hsntwerker a substitute
Who is not afraid TO shout;
When liant puts his foot in the box,
They better all look out.
Anw now We come to one who is
The lulu of the nine,
First base he holds in gallant style,
And counters every time.
IL is a treat TO see him catch,
He takes them in so neat
And we are betting ten to one
That Taylor" can't be beat.
Moore holds the fort at second base,
As Billy held the hill;
Ne has no picnic cacthing balls,
When the catcher throws the pill.
Goodwin next, he plays at short,
Takes liners from the stick;
And Len gets there in such a shape
It makes the batter sick.
Woodington stands upon the pail
At third and plays with care.
AMI many a runner dies with him,
No time to say his prayers
We find Schmidt" in the right.
a right man in the place.
And when ball is sent TO him
re takes it in with haste.
Our dear old "Dumuth" in center field
\ credit to the nine;
And wl.en ball flies out to him
He gets it every time.
Sure. Mink was nearly left.
Although that's where he's found:
And many a man that's driven the ball
To his part of the ground
Has cursed himself in his despair,

fielder and timely hitter.
Pat Strawbridge says he will show

ABomb Raid by Shell-Light

The picture of a night attack executed by the
English German trench in France is drawn
in the Cornhtll Magazine by Boyd Cable:
NThe hour chosen for the raid just about
dusk There was extra-special preparation
pour in their fire. speeding it up little, perhaps,
but no more than they had done score of times
in the last "a hours. The infantry clambered out
of their trench and filed out through the
openings in their own wire entanglements.
Out in front a faint whistle cut across the
of fire. They're off, said the forward officer into
his phone, and moment later distinct change
in the note of sound of the overhead shells told
that the fire had lifted, that the shells pass
ing higher above his head to fall farther back

into which the infantry would be pushing.

moment, and the rattle of machine gun fire di-
minished and the bullets piped thinner and more

But at the attacking point the infantry were
almost across when the storm burst. and the
shells for the most part struck down harmlessly

No Time to Make 1 Swap.

An Indiana man was travelling down
the Ohio on a steamer with a mare and
tw0-year-old colt when by a sudden
careen of the boat all three were tilted
into the water. The HOosier, as he
rose putting and blowing above water,
caught hold of the tail of the colt. not

same view as William Allen White regarding
the Importance of giving primary attention to the
economic side of the equation during the winter
months. He quoted General Pershing as saying
that the greatest thing that the Red Cross can do
at present victory is to stand by the FAM
lilies of French soldiers.
Gas Bombs Poison Soil.
An interesting fact dwelt upon by Mr.. Wishard
during a visit to Washington was that of the pois-
oning of the soil in agricultural regions by the
gases spread the country by the Germans. 1t
stated that this gas has worked its insidious way
deep into the ground, that unless heroic means
are discovered and applied it will be years and
years before the land is fit for cultivation of any
sort. The devastation, he says is beyond anything
in the history of the world, with shell craters SO
thick that blowing of once fertile fields is abso-
lutely impossible. Yet in this hopelessly devasta-
region the Red Cross has set to work to repair
villages and to restore certain agricultural
communities, not alone for the humanity directly
involved with respect to the people who will thus
have shelter and means to go to work, but an
example to the thousands of others and an inspi-
ration them to start in and begin life anew. The
hopelessness of it all might complete from
who had owned mill in village Yer
dun, who told him that when he went to look for
the spot which it stood he had to take survey
along to locate it.
1t is into the hopelessness of hundreds of situa-
lions akin to this that the American Red Cross is
advancing with its banner of mercy and it's bugle
blast of inspiration.
So help the Red Cross!

In Sunday school class recently the
topic up for discussion was food con-

teacher asked the children whether
their parents said grace before each
meal. To make it more ineligible the
teacher remarked: Does your father
have anything to say before you begin
to eat?''

youngster, ''he always says, Now, kids,

GRONNA VOTED mo"

Senator Gronna, of North Dakota, has at least been
consistent in his attitude on war measures. He has at
all times and under all circumstances played the part of
the obstructionist and opponent when measures for the
equipment Of the nation for carrying on the war were
under consideration. With a handful Of others he killed
the armed neutrality bill. and thus aided in creating
abroad the impression of divided councils in the gov
eminent of the United States. He has at different times
proposed or supported discretionary amendments 20
preparedness bills Of the highest Importance and the
most pressing necessity. And now. when the army bill
had reached its final shape. he persisted in his attitude
OF stubborn antagonism and voted against the Anal pas
sage Of the bill.
Mr.. Gronna chooses to act as the friend and aid Of
the armed foes Of his country: he must settle the matter
with his own conscience. A man has a legal right to
vote as he pleases. He has a moral right to believe as
he will. But 1t Is possible to concede this right and at
the same time to hold in utter scorn and detestation the
principles entertained and the man who entertains
them.
1t has been said that Senator Gronna will be re-
elected when he presents himself again at the expiration
of his term; that he has a sufficient following in this
state to insure him OF success in spite of any campaign
that can be made against him. This may all be so.
There is no way Of ascertaining at this time. But we DO
know that there are very many North Dakotans who
consider Mr.. Gronna better fitted for membership in the
German Reitchstag than in the American congress, and
who regret sincerely that he got into the wrong body.
