The GOOD ROAD MOVEMENT

Three years ago the enterpris-
ing people of this vicinity start
ed campaign of voluntary road
working. which resulted in sew
eral miles of excellent sand-clay
roads being built and other big
improvements made in our roads.
There is much of this work still
doing a wonderful lot of good on
the deep sandy stretches, but
other things have claimed the at
tention of our people since that
time and the roads have suffered
as a result. At a meeting of
representative citizens held at
the courthouse Monday it was
decided to take up this good
work where it was left off three
years ago and keep at it until the
roads leading into Washington
are all put in fine shape. To do
this will require the hearty CO.
operation of all the people of the
town and all those of the country
in this trade territory, so you
are called upon to attend the
good roads meeting at the court
house tomorrow Saturday
afternoon at 3 o'clock and help
outline a plan of action in this
work.

Sparrow Pie.

Sparrow Pie has been tried out
by the Food Administration and
was found to be an excellent dish,
according to information sent to
Wahpeton from Washington offici-
ais.
Home Economics experts were
guests at luncheon served them in
Washington by the Public Leader,
the main dish being sparrow pie
made from birds caught in the sub
urbs of Philadelphia by James
Hunt of that city, who has started
a movement to encourage the cat
ching of English sparrows for
food. Sparrow pie is staple En-
glish dainty. In this country spar
rows are considered a pest because
they destroy grain, and therefore
their bodies make clean whole
some food. Special traps have been
devised by which several dozen
may be caught at once, either by
day or night The pie served at
Washington was cooked by Quak
er housewife and it was pronounc.
ed delicious by the domestic econ
omy experts.
Sparrows are prepared for cook
ing by simple cleaning process of
cutting away the legs and neck,
and peeling the skin off. feathers
and all.
North Dakota has large number
of sparrows and it would be pro-
fitable to persons in the state to
catch the birds and use them for
meat. The cleaning process takes
but short time and large nu-
mber of birds can be cleaned in
the same length of time it takes to
clean one chicken of other domest-
ic fowl.

made me a little homesick however
when we asked what town we had
arrived at and heard same was So
rear Abercrombie. We had great
time on the way down. Never went
to sleep all night. and did not get
here until six the next evening.
We had very poor food the first
couple of days, and I was thoro-
ughly disguised, and wondered if
they expected us to fight the Kais-
er on empty stomachs. However,
it was only on account of so many
coming in at the same time, and
now no one complains. Each regi-
ment has an exchange or canteen,
we call them, where they sell all
sorts of candies, cookies, stationary
and clothing, in fact almost every
thing a fellow needs. You ought
to see the way the fellows crowd
there, and the candy and cookies
that are consumed in day would
do justice to ten times the number
there.

al fence around a farn

A fence around farm is an i'm
portant asset to the farmers in
more ways than one. In districts
around Wahpeton it has been
shown that the fence will Indirect
ly help the farmer raise more
stock and lessen the cost of his
feed to a great extent. In places
where fences are not used, hogs
and sheep are obliged to remain in
the pasture. Many times these pas
lures are worn out and the animals
get practically nothing to eat. Had
the corn fields and other fields been
fenced, the animals could be turn
ed into them and let run. They
would pick up a great deal of their
feed and distribute their own man.

cording to figures released Saturday at
Chicago and which include Wednesday s
games. Benny Kauff OF New York has
crept from fourth to second place, %
points behind the leader.
Ty Cobb s mark of .3S5 with which
he was leading the American league
batters, remained unchanged up to
| Wednesday. Likewise, iris Speaker s
average also remained unchanged al
.351. Sisler of st. Louis is gaining On
the leaders and now is holding third
place with .34S. Chapman and Harris
| teammates of Speaker, have made the
| greatest strides among the regulars
Both have jumped into the 800 class
while Felsch of Chicago and McInnis
of Philadelphia have stepped out.
Chicago's best chance to show it i
entitled to the American league cham
pionship will come this week. Today

HOLYOKERS HIT

Take Game from Local Team
at Island Park by
81 Score
GOOD STICK WORK
ON BOTH SIDES
Good Sized Crowd Finds Much of Inter
est, Despite Occasional Errors-Score
Tied Much of the Time-Some of the
Tootrroc

The All-Holyokes defeated st. Mi
chaels Athletic association 9 to at Is
land park yesterday in a heavy hitting
contest 1t was an interesting game all
with the score tied much of the
time, and the good sized crowd present
found much pleasure and excitement in
it, although there were one or two lapses.
The Holyokes won through their ability
to hit Murphy in the pinches.
Holyoke put one across in the opening
inning. Brattleboro scored two in the
next inning and Holyoke tied the score
in the fourth In the sixth the visitors
netted three more by clean hitting, G..
heating getting a double, followed by a
double by Childs and singles by Mines
and Kerr.
Brattleboro came back in the sixth,
when three hits and wild throw by the
third baseman melted three runs and
again tied the score.
In the seventh Brattleboro scored two
runs on two hits, a sacrifice and errors at
short In this inning the home team
had the bases full with one out, but the
pitcher forced Kennedy to pop to short
and Baker to third. That ended Brattle-
boro's scoring, putting the team two runs
to the good, but in the eighth Holyoke
came across with four runs on four hits
and two errors
Catcher Clune again demonstrated his
speed by stealing second and scoring from
that base on a single to left field.
Among the features We're a backward
running catch of a line drive off GRAY
bat by Lowry, the hitting by Childs, whC
made two two-baggers and single, and

mered out two wo-baggers The score:
