in many ways. Mr.. Frank Lowe,

ia prominent position in Christi
an EndeavOf work, was present
throughout the sessions and
gave a number of helpful ad-

Perhaps the outstanding adj

and spoke on the SUBJECTS: "Pay.
/ inp the Full Price" and "Th(
Love of Cod" DR.. Newell is {

young people are prominent and
earnest workers in Christian
Endeavor in the local Christian
Church, and they deserve the
honor which the convention be-
slowed upon them.

I'M speak of the dead in hushed low tones
11H And honor them where they lie
But what of the men with shattered bones
VI the brave who cannot die?
Under the smoke black sky at night
With scarcely breath to pray,
Men Of your kind who fought your fight,
They pay and pay and pay
And who shall send to the brink of he'll,
Where the wounded gasp and die,
The rose red banner waving, tell
Say who, but you and 1?
And who shall hurry the ambulance down
Through the dawn of a bloodred day,
But you, my friend, and /? Go on
And pay and pay and pay
Then give if it needs of your last red cent
Ay, out of your meanest mte 80
And rouse you out of your sweet content,
And hear We the groans tonight
For the half dead lie in the black shell scars,
With scarcely breath to pray
And breathe their prayers to the mute mute stars
Then pay till it hurts oh, pay

ATHLETICS 3;
SCHMELZERS /
Hale Allowed / Hit And Famed
s. Slusher Starred At
First.
ATHLETICS 9;

First.
The fans Sunday were treat
ed to the real thing in baseball.
They saw the home boys take
into camp the pride of Kansas
City in as clean a game as one
could wish to see. They saw Hale
working like a well oiled ma
chine, allowing only one hit, and
striking out eight; they saw
first base played a la Chance;
they saw good old reliable
@Shinnie" handle Hale's cannon
balls with perfection; they saw
Hale's faultless support from
his fielders; they saw an eighth
inning that was a peach {for us)
and OK gall to the visitors; they
heard John /. Ashurst make an
4
announcement; and of some inn
portance, a good sized, orderly
crowd,
With the exception of a fsVzle
of a thrown bah to catch a run
ner at second, there wasn't a
slip by the locals. Slusffer, on
first, gave as fine exhibftaon of
first baseing as one win ever see
on any diamond, bar none. Hs
dug 'em out of the dirt, out Ui
the air, lin front, behInd--they
cgaldn't get them past HIM
And, then in four times up he
got on. Bat, he didn't play the
whole game, there were eight
l0thers ON the job doing thesr bit
with a freedom and dash that
was good to watch.
Hale had no cinch until after
the eighth. It looked for a while
seven innings to be exact, that
the Schmelzer's were going tt
win by a score of ] to o. In tht
second inning a SclTmelzeritt
boosted one ever the left fielt
fence for Two bases. He was
trapped off second, but the bal
was dropped. He was sacrificed
to third and then scored
on a fly to right field. From
then on to the eighth there was
goose eggs for all hands. But
bless your heart, in the eighth
the Athletics rung up three runs
like this: Hale, first up made
first on an error; Mackie sing1-
ed, Hale going TO second; Slush-
er was hit and the bags were
clogged. Stevens hit to the third
tbaseman, who nailed Hale al
home; Hannah threw to first ia
catch the runner and Slusher
threw in the high and rode in
for the tying run, No, No, that
wasn't all. Howe went to second
on the throw to catch Slusher,
and when Parkins singled raced
home behind Stevens. That was
enough, thank you, as the visit
ors went out one-two-three in
their next turn at bat.
Batteries; Schmelzers, Ander-
son and Hannah; Athletics, Hale

DENY DEMURRERS
GRAIN HANDLERS SAID TO TAKE
EXCESS WEIGHT FOR
SMALL GRAIN.

Pierre, Oct. 22.-Dsputy Slmonson
of the state market commission, has
returned from the southern part of
the state, where he went upon COM
plant OF discrimination by elevator
men in the purchasing of grain. He
investigated the elevators generally
in the eastern part OF the state, COW
ering a large territory. and found
that in many of them the grain ham
dlers were taking an excess weight
for oats and barley, taking as nigh
as so pounds to the bushel for bar
ley, and as high as "a pounds to the
bushel for oats, while both the fed
eral and state laws fix AS pounds as
the legal weight of a. bushel of bar
ley. and 32 pounds as the legal
weight of a bushel of oats. After the
investigation. which not only reveal
ed the overweight proposition, and
further that dockage is being made
by pounds instead of percentage, as is
required by both state and federal
laws. Deputy Commissioner Simon
son called the attention of states at
torneys in counties where this situa-
ton was found, to the facts in the
cases. He has already received sew
eral replies from these officials in
which they say they have notified the
elevator men that prosecutions will
follow any continuance of the Gus
tom. The attention of the railway
department having been called to the
situation, they have notified the scale
inspectors, under their department to
continue the Investigations as to
weights and dockage plans and report
the same to that department wher-
ever they find any such discrimina-
tons.
There is also some complaint as to
the prices paid locally for wheat, but
generally the price is fairly steady on
this feature.

NOT FEAR HOOVER
official Denies Any Intention to
Fix Hog Prices.
Assures Livestock Producers He VIII
Keep Prices on Basis That
Assures Profit.

Louisville, KY, Oct. 22.-Herbert
.doover, food administrator, has made
a strong denial that livestock price
liking Is contemplated by the govern
ment. This in reply to q statement
widely circulated that the Federal
food administration intended to fix
the price of hogs at $40 per hundred
as compared with former higher prices.
which has brought a flood OF hogs to
This market, cutting the price down
sl.05 to SIG within two days.
Mr.. Hoover's denial addressed to all
federal food administrators, asserts
the statement with reference to al.
legged price fixing first appeared in
Chicago papers.
They are absolutely untrue" Mr..
Dover declares, 'and do O repre-
sent opinion or proposed action of the
TODD administration which will take no
steps to jeopardize livestock produc.
ers interests. All our power will be
used to keep prices at which Allied
md governmental purchases are made,
on a plane that gives an assured re.
turn OF cost and profit to producers
Of meat animals.
In our opinion the best market OBJ
tainable for the present corn crop OF
me country will be through livestock.
We need increased production of beef
and pork and the only way to secure
this increase will be by profit on pro
duction."
