The teams are speeding eastward
tonight for the Polo grounds where
on Tuesday, the series will be re-
sumed, and if the loral team continues
to play the type of game it has dis
played here, supporters of the
Comiskey clan are convinced that the
Sox should at least break even with
the Giants in the next two contests
at New York.
BASE BALL JUGGERNAUT.
The White Sox, rolled over the
Giants today like baseball jugger-
nadt, leaving disaster and dismay in
their wake. The second victory was
far more impressive than the win OF
yesterday, and when the teams left
the field, the Chicago club was sur
charged with confidence, while the
New York combination was badly
shattered, both physically and in
mc-cle.

production. reports Major James B.
Kitch, superintendent of the Standing
Rock reservation.
Big Increase in Acreage
The cultivated acreage on the
Standing Rock Indian reservation
will be from SO to 100 per CEN greater
than in previous years. The govern
ment has advanced the Indians more
than $4,000 worth of seed. to be col
lected for at the thresher next fall,
and in addition, independent Red Men
have Amade purchases of $4,000 to
to $4,000 at Bismarck and other
points.
There is a remarkable development
in the Sioux's interest in agriculture"
said Major Kitch today. Where in
former years we hav issued $4,000 to
Sc, 1000 worth of seed this spring we
started out with $4,000 worth, and
then were compelled to ask for rs per
cnt more, which we promptly got"
Better Farming Contest
Major Kitch, who recently conduct
ed a successful better babies campaign

Road Grader Contest
Attracts But One Grader

The road grader contest, arranged
at a recent meeting of the County
Commissioners to test the machines
of several companies, ended in a fizzle.
The only company to send a mar and
a machine for this weeks contest was
the Russell Grader Co. 1t is now re-
ported that the several companies who
made bids to supply the county with
a new grader withdrew their bids, on
account of the raise in materials.
This action Of the competing" COM
panies is no surprise, as the guess was
frequently made by local people that
they would either get together or de-
cline to make the contest.
The county commissioners were in
session Tuesday andWednesday. They
purchasd q Russell grader to add to
the county road equipment.

OF the county will have submitted to

coed $4,000 annually, for the con-
struction of a concrete highway be-

Our governments, national and state
have made laws to prevent the desc
Grafton or commercialization of the
Flag, and the display of the Flag in
the service of the Government is rig
orously provided for by official regu-
lations.
But there are no laws or regula-
tions governing. the display of the
Flag by citizens. generally. Hence
such use of the Flag must be govern
ed largely by m sense and po-
likeness, consistent with the regula-
lions for official display OF the Flag.
For your guidance the following
suggestions have been prepared in Of
fetal quarters. They represent what
those in the actual service of the Flag
feel it is due from citizens generally:
The Flag, when displayed outdoors,
should be permitted to fly with the
breeze, preferably from a pole or a
staff.
The Flag should be hoisted and low
cred by hand.
The Flag should never at any time
be allowed to touch the ground.
The Flag should never be hoisted
before sunrise, nor should it be allow
ed to remain up after sunset.
The Flag should not be fastened to
the side of a building, platform scat
folding or window, or where anything
can be placed upon the Flag, OF
where anyone can sit or stand upon
the Flag.
The Flag should always be placed
high enough to be above the heads
Of the people, whenever displayed, and
should be uppermost in any scheme Of
decoration.
The Flag is flown at half-mast. OF
half-staff, as a symbol Of mourning
In displaying the Flag at half-mast Il
should first be raised to the top and
then lowered to the half-mast posi-
, tion. On Memorial Day the Flal
should be flown at half-mast until
noon, and at full staff from Don unit
sunset.
All Flags on q single building shoul'
be raised and lowered at the sans
time.

are not included the vast losses of

ducers or dealers.
Much OF the food is thrown out, the
specialists say, because SO many
people do not know how to utilize
left overs" or will not take the
trouble to keep and prepare them.
The specialists point out that left
over cereals ran he reheated or com
bined with fruits, meats, or vegetables
into appetizing side dishes; that even
a spoonful of cereal is worth saving
as a thickener of soups, gravies, and
sauces. Stale bread can be utilized in

vegetables and meats and in prepar-
ing hot breads and buildings. Skim

FEDERAL CONTROL
OF FOOD SUPPLY
Fight On In Congress to Stop Specu-
lation In Food Stuff and Manu-.
fecture Of Liquor

Washington, May 21.-The senate
today took UP the administration bill,
providing for the federal survey of
the food supply, the prevention of
boarding, the licensing of dealers, and
authorizing the mixing of fiours. The
chances are its consideration will de-
velop a fight to prohibit the manufac-
ture of liquor during the war by the
prohibition amendment, and the
amendment Senator Gore planned to
offer today to give the president power
to prevent speculation in foodstuffs.
Hope Of passing the war revenue
bill in the next few days is not strong
because the ways and means commit
tee is divided over the question Of
higher second class mail rates propos-
ed by the bill. The committee must
also pass on prohibition, and a pro-
vision for taxing advertising, automo-
biles, musical instruments, etc.
A favorable report on the admins
tra.ion bill to give the president broad
powrs to regulate preferential ship
ment of food, munitions and other war
traffic raj made. A house report says
the bill is "germane to the earnest eff
fort we r making to utilize to the
highest state of efficiency during the
war transportation facilities to permit
the administration to carry on the
war. requiring preferential shipment
OF all goods essential TO the public Sc
curity and defense"

The Town Character And
Some Of His Oddities

One or more odd or eccentric citi-
zens In every town or city become a
sort Of community possession. Every
body knows them, their oddities are
community comments; their excentri-
cities become the whispered wonder
of children. Such q character was
Hanniman Hays, of Miller.
The county board OF insanity ad-
Judged Hanniman Hays to be insane
and ordered him tent to the state asy-
lum at Yankton last week-which
probably draws the veil over the life
of n of this community's most pecu-
liar pioneer characters, SO far as the
public is concerned, at least.
He came to Miller with the great
tide of 1883, and settled on a claim in
Midland township, where he lived as
a hermit in a claim shanty for some
years. He lost his claim, through
some failure to comply with either
the land law or mortgage law.
He came to Miller where he has re-
sided for many years, an odd, excen-
trio character, holding aloof from his
fellows, and picking up q bare exist
ence none knew how. Whence he
came , and who or what his family,
was never revealed. He stood about
the streets, and sought a place to
sleep anywhere he could get in. Quiet
good natured. inoffensive. he lived his
life to himself, surrounded by q my
sterious silence. The marks of age
were becoming apparent, and the
mind never strong, perhaps gave way
to a ceaseless monotony.
What the thoughts, the hopes, the
ambitions OK suck . mind, would have
been an interesting study for any stu
dent fortunate enough to break
through an unusual crust of silence
and self-effacement. The tradegy OF
this life remains sealed to the COM
munity where for SO many years he
was likened to any other inanimate
object. A peculiar fragment OF the
great human family which rises and
fades away with the passing genera
lions. For twenty five years in good
weather this writer bade him good
morning Or good evening, az he pur-
sued his silent vigil somewhere on the
business street, always receiving q
brief response. His closing days will
at least have the advantage Of some
systematic are and thought Of others,
which he has not had for q third of a
century.
