spot in it's heart for what they
have done.
The rext speaker introduced by
chairman, Mr.. J. A. Wagner was
DR.. ID. V. Moore of YanktOn who
spoke in the English language.
The substance of DR.. Moore,s S re-
marks was along identical lines of
his predecessor, but the senti-
ments contained therein came With
an ardor of youth. Likewise his
arrangement of German barbara
sm, being inspired by personal ex-
perience when the Lusitania went
down with it's human cargo, Of
whom over two thousand, men, wo
men and children, martyrs all to
the power lust of an autocratic sy-
stem, comes with a vehemence
born of the horrible experience.
We, as we'll as others, expect ed
the Doctor to dwell longer upon
the subject of his experience when
he saved his life by clinging to a
keg as the Lusitania went down,
but the disappointment at this juno
ture of his remarks, was outweigh
ed by the other fine things he said
notably when he read from the
Army and Navy Journal that it is
the plan of this government to
free Bohemia from Hapsburg mis-
rule under which this highly cu'-
tured nation has suffered for the
past three hundred years.
The evening was concluded by a
short talk by Mr.. Wagner, who
took up the subject of Liberty
Bonds and treated the subject in
an authoritative way. No trace
of oratorical flights were in evil
dence, but facts and figures. He
placed special stress upon the ne
cessity of everyone buying those
Bonds if the war against German
autocracy is to be won.
Between speeches the band fur
nished music and the evening end

Do Your Duty.
Liberty Bonds will be offered for
sale until June 18th.

1t is your patriotic duty to buy
a Liberty Bond. You can get
them at any bank from $50 up,
payable in 30 years at 81 per
cent. interest and redeemable in
Is years. They are not taxed
which is equivalent to 5 or 6 per
cent. interest The government,
in order to conduct the war, needs
five billions of dollars and wants
to borrow this money from the
people. 1t could raise that amount
totally by taxation, but that
would work hardship on many
poor people. Any banker or post
master, who are authorized to take
applications for Liberty Bonds,
will explain the matter to you.
BY all means do your duty if you
have money to loan, and remem-
Der that had the government rails
ed that 5 billions of dollars by tax
alton, you would give your share
and get nothing for it, except the
satisfaction that it is an unavoid-
able situation. This way you get
your money back with interest.
There should be no slackers even
in this. There are young men
right now preparing to fight and
die for this great country upon
the bloodsoaked fields Of France.
Buying Liberty Bond in not a
sacrifice, nor even favor to the
government, but a sacred duty.
South Dakota is expected to buy
So, 500, 900 worth of them.

The Tabor Public School closed
a successful term of school with a
fine program at the Society hall
last Saturday evening. A fairly
good crowd WAS present, altho
many faces from town were miss

the task to tell other people not to
attend the program, that the
whole affair does not amount to
anything anyway. Another eX-

An elaborate patriotic demon
stration was held here Tuesday in
honor of the men subject to militia
ry draft who registered on that
day. Extensive preparations had
been made, but owing to bad wea-
ther and rain, parading and other
outdoor manifestations had to be
left out, except that the band play

ALTROCK PULLS 'FAOE.AWAY'
German Comedian Of Washington
Team Gives Fans Chance to
Laugh by "clever" Stunt.

Nick Altrock loves his little Joke
Just like Iris Speaker likes his hits
when Tyrus Is about 20 points In the
lead. The German started his daily
routine Of cOaching at third when the
National-Tiger game opened nj Nnvin
field Saturday hut the rain soon drove
him to the bench. Every once In while
Nick would poke his head out Of the
dugout and turn his weather eye on
the sky. As the rain continued Alt
rock could stand II no longer, so GIN
gerly picking his way from pool to
pool he approached the Detroit bench.
When about ten feet from the home
cave he was inspired to give the fans
mt least one good laugh for their
money. So running at full speed he
cast himself into the mire and water
and pulled II beautiful fade away to
the steps. While soaked, he arose
laughing and the grandstnnd chirped
its only applause of the day.

pany at the expense of Jack Dunn Of
Brooklyn, on August -, 1897.
Wagner's first game In the inhcld
was played ut second base on August
20, 1897. Hans probably has played
all nine positions during his National
League career. He pitched part Of n
game for the Pirates against Boston
on September 8, 1902, and struck out
five men, passed two and uncoiled four
wild pitches.
Men who were playing ball when

GOSSIP OF BIG SERIES
Dope Indicates Giants and White
Sox Will Clash.
Both Teams Have Been In and Out of
Lead and Are Expected to Meet
with More Opposition BE.
fore End Of Season.

There Is many u slip twixt the Aug.
ust drive and the finishing tape In the
big leagues. but with the 10 teams in
the two majors settled down to what
appears to be their true levels, the
dope sheet indicates that the Giants
and White Sox will go to the mat in
October to decide who's who in the
worlds series.
The Giants and the Sox have al
ready had their ups and downs. They
have both been In and out of the lead,
and before the season ends they are
liable to find opposition stubborn, but
they look like the clubs with the driv-
ing power to go through. It's u
good bet now that the "big series" will
be fought out between them.
The bulldog character of the Giants
should carry them through. They
have the fighting spirit and the all
around class. They are consistently
hard for all rival clubs to beat. and
they have managed so far to take the
measure of the Phillies, their strong
est rivals.
The White Sox have speed and class,
and they have the smoothcst working
pitching staff In the American league.
Like the Sox of other days. their hit
ting has been weak. but they are
playing smart baseball. The critics
who predicted that the Red Sox pitch
ing staff would find the going too
heavy evidently knew what they were
talking about for Jack Barry's stuff.
consisting chiefly Of Leonard and
Ruth, Is up against the real thing.
With two more pitchers like Ruth and
Leonard the Boston club would be lia-
bic to breeze In. But that's the rub
for Barry.
For the good Of the game an East.
West series for the purple and gold
gonfalon this fall Is badly needed, and
despite the-war n series this fall be-
tween Eastern and Western teams will
probably be n rccord-brenker In the
matter Of interest and attendance, es-
peclally II 1t is played between New
York and Chicago teams.

Years ago, when John McCloskey
was managing ut st. Louis, Il certain
young ball player started hitting the
ball fiercely. 1t was his first trip in
the majors and the fact elated him.
When he made his sixth or seventh
straight single he stalked back to the
bench and Topped himself near where
McClOskey was sitting.
swell, l stung that one, eh?" re-
marked the recruit. "Right on the old
beak, too. Let's see, how many straight
singles Is that I've made?"
McClOskey eyed him sternly. "Young
fellow" he said finally, "if you want a
place on this ball club you have to
hand out n double or a triple once In a
while. These singles aren't enough"

GAMBLERS HURT GAME
Unsuccessful Efforts Of Officials
to Eradicate Evil.
Betting at Yankee Games Fast BEING
Stopped BY Secretary Sparrow
Biggest Row Of Season oe.
CURED at Boston.

Efforts on the part of major league
club owners and officials to stamp
out gambling on the games have been
successful failures In the face of Oh.
erations in several big league cities
this year.
The first big yelp that went up
against baseball gamblers came from
the Polo grounds, where the owners
of the Yankees received many pro-
tests. Finally, Harry Sparrow, secre-
tary of the club, took the matter in
his own hands and as u result the
ringleaders of the baseball book
makers were denied admttunce to the
park. Sparrow was sought out by
politicians, 1t Is said. who made an
attempt to have the bars lifted for n
number of the men who were black.
listed at the gate. hut he remained
firm, and as II result gambling ut the
Yankee games Is fast being stopped.
The biggest row of the season In
which the gamblers figured was the
recent near.riot at Boston. when the
Red Sox were playing the Chicago
Sox. II Is admitted by several Bos-
ton sport writer's that the gamblers
were responsible for the crowd surg
ing on the field In an attempt to stop
the game, when rain temporarily in
terfered. President Frazee was so
thoroughly inccnscd over this Incl
dent that he hired n corps of private
detectives to spot the gamblers, and
action similar to that taken by Harry
Sparrow will be used by the Boston
club.
The gamblers have been getting
boldcr each season, and 1t is high
time the club owners got busy, for
gambling would soon do to baseball
what 1t did to racing years ago.

FALKENBERG IS BACK AGAIN
Elongated Twirler Fails to Make Good

turned to Indians.

For the third time In his long career
Cy Falkcnberg has gone back to the
minors. 1t is not probable that he will
ever pitch big league game again.
The elongated twirler has been sent
back to indianapolis by Connie Mack
and probably will grace the American
association until that company gets too
fast for him.
Falky first went to the minors In
1912, being released to Toledo by
Cleveland. In Toledo he mastered the
use of the emery ball and had such
