LEAGUE
MEETING
ON TODAY
Conference in Progress in
Spalding Hotel at Duluth
new Lineup Probable.

Representatives OF four, northwest
cities, which probably will compose
the lineup of the Northern league in
1917, are meeting in the Spalding no.
tel at Duluth today. The meeting was
called latea yesterday afternoon by
Chas. F; Mol, Winnipeg magnate, and
M. l.. Hubbard and G. e. Boyle OF the
Fargo Moorhead baseball committee,
left Fargo late last night for the city
at the head of the lakes.
That Superior, Wis, and Virginia,
Mimi, members of the league for sew
eral years, will be taken in to re-
place Thief River Falls and Warren,
is one Of the big bets Of the meeting.
Superior voted wet on Tuesday. and
into the league. Virginia has always
been willing to come in, baseball there
being supported by A. b. Coates. mil
lionaire mine owner.
Superior, however, showed no in
clination to indulge when the league
lineup was discussed several months
ago. The team he'd poor season,
financially, last year.
With the adoption of Superior and
Virginia, 1t is certain that a schedule
will be drafted and other business pre-
liminary to the opening of the league
season taken care of. -.E
One of the important pieces Of bus
mess Of the meeting Is the election of
a league president. Fargo Moorhead
will endorse M. l.. Hubbard. club di-
rector the past three years. for the
place, and 1t is hardly expected that he
will have any opposition. John Bur-
meister of Minneapolis. president for
four years, has indicated that he will
not be in a position to act longer.
The local baseball committee will
meet tomorrow or Saturday. the bust
ness to be transacted depending large
~ on the outcome Of the meeting to-
day. 1853 .f,-ma

London.-British troops captured

north of Beaumont-Hamel. The official
statement reporting this operation

Another very successful local oper.

southern front of Serre Hill north Of
Beaubont-HameD was attacked and
captured on a front Of over three
quarters Of mile. We captured 215
prisoners a number considerably ex-
ceeding our casualties.
"We repulsed by our fire an enemy
attempt to approach our lines south of
Sailly-Sallisel. We entered enemy
trenches in the neighborhood of Pys.

Neuve Chapelle and south of Fauquis-
sart. Many casualties were inflicted
on the enemy and his dugouts destroy

SAINT OF CANDY MAKERS
Maearius, Egyptian Man Of Fame,
Properly Entitled to Such Honor
AZ That Name Entails.

Probably few of the confectioners
and candy makers who cater to the
public's sweet tooth" are aware that
they have patron saint all their own,
but such is the case. He is St.
Macarius. Macarthur was adopted by
the confectiOners as their protector
because he himself followed the oc-
cupation of making sweets in Alex
andria before he forsoOk the world
and hts ways and retired to Thebais
in upper Egypt to live the solitary and
self-sacrificing life of an anchorite.
Macarius lived in the fourth CEN
fury, and, if we may believe the ira
ditiOns concerning him, he was a
champion faster. For seven years, 1t
is related, he lived on diet COM
posed of raw herbs and pulse. Dur
ing Lent he ate on Sundays, and then
but q few cabbage leaves. One of the
remarkable tales told about the
candy saint" Is that once, having
killed gnat that bit him, he expiated
the ''crime" by spending six months
In a marsh, where great venomOus
flies abounded, subjecting himself to
such torments that he became a mass
of sores.

Needed Provender.

That rolling stone among authors.
Harry de Windt, tells the following
good story of his adventures on the
Yukon:
One day he and partner he had
picked up in Dawson were going on q
trip in midwinter. The cold was, OF
course, intense.
Just as they were on the point of
starting, his companion dumped a
number of hard, sharp-pointed articles
in the sleigh, pitching them rather
unceremoniously on top of sack OF
oatmeal.
Look here" protested De Windt,
"don't put those tent pegs on the oat-
meal. They'll poke their points through
the bag and therell be leak"
"These amt tent pegs" explained
the other, rather scornfully; they're
beefsteakS."
And SO they were, cut and ready for
use on the line of march.
