YES WE WOULD,

We care not if the players strike,
For we can get along,
For ball games, DO, mean work
for us,
And work that is no song.
But, oh, what gloom 'twould be

'Twould change our life aobut,
Would make US worry, fume and

Freddie Welsh, after getting
his can knocked off by Ritchie
Mitchell, came to bat with the
alibi that he was suffering from
a cold. In the feet perhaps?
The principal objection. it is

II INC WcStclH league oooetVes onS
new rule established by the big
leagues, a few of our hurling experts
are going to have tough time. The
majors haye prohibited the use OF
rosin by pitchers. Ball games in the
Western last year generally ran from
one hour and forty minutes to two
hours and thirty minutes, and about
half of the time was taken by pitchers
digging into their pockets after a
chunk Of rosin. Some pitchers never
threw ball without plastering it with
40 cents worth Of the gummy sub
stance. The Western league moguls
would be wise to put the ban on rosin,
not only because it is an artificial aid
to the pitcher, but it wastes lot Of
perfectly good time and long drawn
out, tedious ball games are not rel
ished by the fans.

NO DECISION Made
KIND OF PAVING NOT TO BE Sc
LECTED UNTIL ALL
BIDS ARE IN.

AT the meeting OF the city commits
sion and the business men last night
no definite action was taken as to the
Madison street. The c%oncensus OF
opinion was TO wait until the bids
were in before making a decision.
Both paving ordinances were pass
widening of sidewalks and for the
establishment of curb lines. Side
walks along Egan avenue from the
railway station to the north line of
width from IL to Is feet.
This would leave 20 feet as the
width of the paving on Egan avenue.
On streets so feet wide there will be
25 feet parking on either side. leav-
ing a strip of 80 feet in the center to
be paved. all sidewalks on these
streets remaining 4 feet, s inches in
width.
A large group of business men and
citizens were present and took part
in the general discussion. The mem
bers of the commission were gratified
at the interest shown and the appar-
ent desire pervading all to cooperate
with the men who have the direct
responsibility of the project upon
their hands.
Furthermore, the commission
wants to cooperate with the citizens
interested in order to give the people
an opportunity to have a thorough
understanding before the work be-
gins. And in doing this the mem
bers of the commission have proved
they are working for the best inter
ests of Madison by thus taking their
fellow citizens into their confidence.
Bids will be opened at the Monday
night meeting and then the decision
will be made as to what kind of paw
ing will adorn the streets. The COM
mission again invites all who are in
terested to be present.
The city has a bill for a car of
oil which left Erie. Kan. the 9th and
which should be here this week. Ii
hopes to continue the service with
out a break.

coming event. This applied coopera-
ton is more than appreciated by the
men who have the responsibility for
a successful fair on their hands.
The report shows the finances of
the organization in a sound condi-
ton and the gain $500 over the
standing when it was issued a year
ago. And since the society was or
gained the net gain is ~$4,50S.S1,
due partly to the rise in the value of
land and the money spent in i'm
provements from the fair receipts.
Since the last fair there has been
$500 spent in permanent improve
ments in the shape of the building of
a new fence. hoghouse and the in
stallation of electric wiring. These
improvements have been made to
keep pace with the corresponding
changes made at other fair grounds
throughout the circuit.
The association ratified the fair
dates, September 5, 6, Z, set some
weeks ago at the meeting of the rae
ing circuit in Sioux Falls. An un-
avoidable conflict with the Brookings
fair, to be held the same week may
cut into the attendance of the Lake
county fair. but it is thought that
many will plan to attend both.
Farmer members of the body are
willing and wish to use their influ-
ence in persuading the threshing
crews to stop work for two days to
make il possible for the men employ
ed TO attend the fair as well as the
farmers themselves. The plan work
ed out well in Moody county two
years ago and if the proper pressure
is exerted from now on. the same
condition will prevail i'm Lake county
during fair week.
There will be another meeting in
a few weeks at which the directors
will discuss the kind of attractions to
be offered for the public amusement
and to outline general plans for the
1917 fair.

OFFICERS ELECTED
LAKE COUNTY AGRICULTURAL
SOCIETY MEETS AT COURT
HOUSE YESTERDAY.

At the meeting of the Lake County
Agricultural society held in the
courthouse yesterday afternoon. the
following were elected officers of the
association for the ensuing year: ID.
NJ. Finnie, president; ID. j. O'Connell.
vice president: A. G. Schmidt, secre-
tary, and J.. j. Mackay. treasurer.
Both president and secretary were

William Curtis was elected superin-
tendent of grounds.
The directors met in turn at the
adjournment of the stockholders
meeting and elected the officers.

property, although action was defer
red until the association finds out
whether the act will be permissible
under the new state law regulating
ar,pty fair acconiatinnc
This law requires the majority of
the stock to be present and voting be-
fore any action of such a character
becomes legal. The Lake County Ag-
ricultural association has never lost
it's original status as a corporation
since 1t never accepted the provisions
of the new law it is still doing bust
ness as an ordinary corporation.
Under its rights as a corporation,
the bylaws provide that action can
be taken on measures pertaining to
the interests of the association when
fifteen Of the members are present.
If the state permits the fair associa-
ton to operate without coming under
it's supervision then the land will
soon be sold, otherwise, the associa-
ton must wait until it hears from
the proper state authorities before ii
can execute the wishes of the mem
bers. The state has never objected
in the two years which have elapsed
since the state law was passed, to
the associations operating under its
original status, but the body does not
care to conflict with the law and the
present status must be determined
before any definite action is taken.
Secretary A. G.. Schmidt stated
this morning that the land was as
good as sold SO Don as the associa-
ton was able to determine where ii
stood in relation to the laws Of the
state governing the operations OF
such societies. To avoid holding
back the work of the association in
any way, he will at once communicate
with the proper authorities.

in England In that manner they Sc
cured the American copyright, which
is applicable only to books printed in

The American publishers of maya
