PUTTING SOMETHING OVER.
"Postponed' Games Being Played and
Credited in Standing Of Clubs.

"Postponed" Games Being Played and
Credited in Standing Of Clubs.
Apparently there is an effort to put
something over on the Marshaltown
baseball club. When the season was
divided it was understood here thai
postponed games Of the first half Of
the season would he played off durine
the second half With such advice
from President Ford Marshalltown and
Mason City hooked up in double
header at Mason City on the first day
OF the second half Of the year.
Later, when Marshalltown advertised
a double header on the home field
with Waterloo. Ned Egan refused 70
play the double bill, unless relieved OF
playing the game scheduled for the
following day. He claimed he had
been advised by President Ford that
the postponed games need not be
played off. Later Egan's claim was
substantiated by the president.
At the recent meeting at Waterloo
President Ford announced that the
postponed game between Mason CITY
and Marshalltown would be thrown
out, and the question at once arose as
to which game Of the double bill was
the postponed game. The second game
of a double header always has been
held to be the postponed game and II
this precedent is adhered to by Presi-
dent Ford the second game, or the
game won by Mason City, will be de-
clared no game.
Now Mason City slips over another
postponed game, playing Fort Dodge
four times in three days in their late
meeting at Mason City. When two
games were played Sunday 1t was gem
orally supposed that the second game
was an exhibition affair merely to
draw the attendance but the game has
been credited as victory for Mason
City in all the percentage columns OF
the papers over the circuit. Accord
ing to President Fords ruling this
game also must come out widening
the gap between the champions and
the Claybakers in the league standing.
The announcement Of President Ford
that the Marshalftown-M Mason City
game would be thrown out was made
On the presence Of tho Mason City d.
rectors prior TO tho playing OF tho
Mason CITY fort Dodge double header.
/ It may be unfair to hint that Mason
City Is trying to put something over"
but II any such attempt is made the
C1aybaker management will find 1t
difficult OF realization.

THREE DROWN At PEI LA

Proet Prominent as Music Teacher.
Pella, Aug. PROF Peter Proet, Mrs.
Proet, and their son. Robert, IA years
old, were drowned while swimming in
the Des Moines river just south of Pella
at o'clock last evening.
There were no witnesses to the
drowning. Professor Proet. who was a
music teacher and his wife and boy,
were seeking to escape the heat by a
trip down to the river and evidently
decided to go bathing.
Men hauling sand heard cries and
went to the rescue, but the three had
all drowned before they arrived. The
body of Mrs. Proet was washed ashore
but the others have not yet been recov-
cred.
1t is believed that the boy stepped into
a deep hole and that Proet, a good
swimmer, drowned in an attempted
rescue.
1t is considered likely that Proet and
son may have drowned in an effort to
save Mrs. Proet. as both are fair SWIM
mers. The river is generally shallow
where they entered the water, but deep
holes have been gouged out by sand
diggers in several portions of the river
bed.
Proet was about 50 years old. The
family came here from Holland nine
years ago. Professor Proet had drilled
several choral organizations and he and
his wife were prominent socially.

Teaching Youth Courtesy.

It is true that the one-time honored
'ma'am" has gone to voyage. Yet
wait-what takes its place? Sometimes
nothing. Poor modern child!
Little Willie, you see, is taught that
"ma'am" is decidedly bad form, don't
you know, a mode of address only to
be used by servants, indeed, and so
his youthship comes out with an
abrupt mo" or a brief eyes," to old
ladies and playmates alike, an ex-
change observes.
The really correct thing for Willie
to be taught is that the name or rela-
tionship of the persons addressed must
be given in place Of that socially os-
tracized "ma'am." He must say Eyes,
mother" or mo, father" (if he has
been taught not to use "sir"), or "No,
Mr.. Smith or Miss JONES'" as the case
may be.
The mentioning of persons name
when speaking to him or her is always
a pleasant little mark Of courtesy,
even from one older person to another,
and is charming to hear from child's
lipS.

old PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it..
A prominent druggist says, "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that Isknow of
has SO large sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmers' Swamp Root is due to the fact
that, % many people claim, it fulfils al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and, bladder ailments, corrects ur-
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle of
Swamp Root by Parcel Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

the long darkness? Of chiffon bor-

Who are going to solve it, when is
it going to be solved? Nobody, it

once in awhile, at this special season
and that, momentary lifting of the

dren. Say at Thanksgiving and Christ
