I read a lot about how the Rus
slams are great hands for singing
bombs but I never see any Of our
Russians pulling that stuff. They are
wonderful with chivs in close up
Jams. and sometimes you see one
Tho is pretty fair with a gat. but
they do not sling bombs around my
home town.
I guess they do il all right back
in the old country, however. be-
cause as nice guy as ever I see
in my life is a Russian by the name
OF Joe something. who runs a little
drum in our town. and who used TO
sit around and tell me about the
time they try 10 put him in the
pokey for chucking a bomb at the
car.
This Joe says he has nothing in
particular against the car. but he
happens 10 he out with his bomb
one DAY and along comes the car
so what can a guy do?
Well. the bomb does not nit the
car Joe says. and does not even
go of. but the cops take after Joe.
and Joe has 10 lam. which is a way
OF saying that he ducks out The
cons are not after him for missing
the car. Joe says but because his
bomb husts a window light in the
post Office or some other public
building
Joe SAYS he tells them al the
store. or wherever il is he gets the
bomb. before he starts out. that the
darn thing does not look 20 him as
if it any good; but they swear il is
o k. Joe says. and guarantee him
his dough back II it does not go of:
but. Of course. Joe never has time
10 go back and get the dough.

Every day 1 am reading in the
papers about this Russia business,
trying 10 get a line on what is do
ing over there, but 1 do not know
much more about it now than when
1 began, except that il must be a
tough place to live, dumbed If not.
Something is coming off in that
country all the time. If il is not one
thing. it is another. A guy hobs up
and gets 10 going along good. and
the next he knows he is in the
hOozgow. One day he is a million
aire and the next day he is bum.
Before l can find out how 10 say
the name of the guy who is in
charge of the works, / read where
he is up there saying good morrow,
Judge, and some new guy with a
still longer name is on his old job.
am almost cock-eyed trying TO
keep posted, and l will tell the
world, fair, l do not want 10 live
in such a country where a guy is
always just a hop ahead Of the
sheriff.
l never give these Russians much
of a tumble before, although
friend of mine by the name of Jack
Curley is once the largest importer
of Russians in this country. He
brings them over a ton at a time
10 wrestle other guys. and / go to
see one or two of them 10 find out
if they have anything new to do TO
the public. but they never have.
However, il is very difficult for
wrestlers TO do anything new to the
public nowadays because everything
is done years ago. After he puts in
a long time handling Russian
wrestlers this Jack Curley gets so
he can stand even Turk wrestlers.
but of course he is a man OF power

where they work in the sugar beet
fields, and where we call them
roundies, meaning roundheads, on
account of the shape of their beans,
which are always round. We call
Swede a squarehead, because the
shape OF a Swede's sconce is most
generally square. but a Russians
conk is round, and so we call them
roundies.
Back home. the Russians are
quiet lot Of guys, and never give
anybody any trouble, except may
be the cops on pay day. and then
they are no more bother than any
body else on pay days. They may
scrap among themselves a little. but
they always do it in their own Ian
guage, so the public has no squawk
coming
Between pay days they work
hard. and you do not have TO pay
them much dough for working. so
people think well of them. and I
never see them wearing so very
many whiskers or drinking this
vodka which I read about.
What the Russians back home
drink is bourbon. or rye. with lager
beer for a chaser. which is a good
drink. and very stimulating.
You never find any Of our Rus
slams putting on red boots. and
sashes. and all such as that, and
trying to jar their brains out with
these dances which you see on the
stage When they dance at all, they

people. and they always have a
barrel of fun at their dances. too,
until the cops come in and make

PRICE OF PRINT

Report Shows Canadian Man.
ufacturers Took Advantage
of Publishers
BY Associated Press

Toronto. July 6.-The publication
of the public report of proceedings
of the Royal Commission on News
print Paper has brought to light fur
ther instances of the imitation of
cost figures of the paper manufac-
turers in their returns to Commits
sioner Pringle.
The statement of Donnaconna
Paper Company, Limited, showed a
sudden increase in the cost of news
print paper from $2s.21 a ton in
1915 to $45.39 a ton in 1916, and
5000 a ton during the first four
months of 1917. George M. Mckee,
general manager of this company,
admitted that the returns for 1916
and the first four months of 1917,
were based on arbitrary figures of
$50 a ton for sulphite and s25 a ton
for ground wood instead of the
actual cost of production.
George Chahoon, Jr., president of
the Laurentide Company, Limited,
admitted under crossexamination
that after the first session of the

Trapshooting Comes Handy
When Other Sports Close

Seasonable sports come and go
with their respective seasons, but the
trap game goes on forever, and s65
days year at that.
When Thanksgiving rolls around
football follows baseball into the dis
card, and tennis, golf ct all reach
the vanishing point close on the
heels of football-yet trapshooting,
being the ''fittest," survives, this for
the double reason that clay target
shooting is no more hampered by
weather conditions than Is field
shooting at live birds, and, too, be-
cause several hundred thousand red
blooded Americans require something
a bit more strenuous and exciting
than checkers, pinochle and other
indoor games,
Time was when country club ac-
tivities languished during the winter
months and yacht clubs boarded up
their clubhouses until after the
spring thawi now, when snow or
slush lies deep on the golf links,
the lure of the traps draws erstwhile
golfers to the club ground to enjoy
the shootin' game, while across the
distant meadows come the popping
reports of shotguns as yachtsmen
blaze away at the flying saucers
skimming above the frozen river,
In short, trapshooting not only
holds country club and yacht club
memberships together during the
cold days. but actually recruits addi-
tional strength from the numbers
of outdoor devotees drawn to the
clubs by the fascination of the scat
ter-gun sport,

Mexico's Pro-Ally
Sentiment Is Growing

Ell Paso, Tex. July 6. - Since the
pro-ally campaign in Mexico was first
started by FL Universal in Mexico
City, the sentiment favoring the allies
has reached Northern Mexico and dur
ing the last thirty days well defined
movement favoring an open break
with Germany and the alignment of
Mexico on the side of the entente al
lies has developed.
A reflection of this sentiment was
seen recently in the statement of Gem
eral Francisco Gonzales, acting COM
mander-in- chief of the northeastern
military zone, with headquarters at
Chihuahua. He was overcharged by
the German firm of Ketelson and De-
getau for some padlocks. The man.
ager was arrested and placed in the
penitentiary. The German Consul
made a demand for his release ''in the
name of the Imperial German Govern
ment and the Kaiser" according to
Mexican official. who was present at
the time.

present investigation some of the
manufacturers who make their own
sulphite had discussed among them
selves the prices at which sulphite
and ground wood should be entered
in the replies to Commissioner Prin-
gle's questioning and had decided
upon $50 ton for sulphite and s25
a ton for ground wood. On his re-
return home Mr.. Chahoon had tele-
graphed to each of the manufactur-
ers his personal opinion that it would
be satisfactory to the commissioner
If the statements were made out
along these lines.
George H. Millen, president and
general manager of E. B. Eddy Com
pany, Limited, admitted that in the
statement of that company for the
first four months of 1917 sulphite
had been entered at $50 a ton and
ground wood had been entered at
sac a ton, although the actual cost
of production during that period was
$45.96 a ton for sulphite and $1S,S4
a ton for ground wood. With fhe
use of these arbitrary figures there
was shown a cost for roll news OF
$61.91 a ton.
The use of the figures of actual

Dauphin-Perry Notes
BY "WESTY" SHORE

AS result of the games played
July 4, Newport has a safe lead of
one and half games over Dau-
phin. Indications point that the
pennant winner this year lies be-
tween these two teams. Marysville,
last years champs, have slumped
considerably and are a disappoint-
ment to their fans. With last years
lineup practically intact they have
been able to keep on the $3.50
basis. Millersburg can't start a win
nipg streak. They have been able
70 come out on the = winning side
cnce in twelve starts. Errors at
critical times and failure to hit in
pInches is believed to be the cause
of their poor standing.
What is believed to be a record for
hits in Central Pennsylvania base
ball leagues was made in the games
played by this organization Wednes-
day. A total of one hundred and
seventy safeties were recorded for
the. six games played. Newport led
with twenty-nine to it's credit; Dau-
Ihin and Marysville were tie each
with twentythree. In addition to
making a record for hits the teams
were a little lax in their playing.
Twenty-Five errors were also chalk
ed up against the league players.
Gilday, of Dauphin, and Biever, of
Halifax. still prove to be the lead
ing pitchers in the league. Both are
like old wine, improving with age.
Gilday has won in his last few starts
and his hitting is also a feature.
Riever won both ends of the double
header on the Fourth, in addition to
winning last Saturday. Earlier in
the season. Biever had trouble to
get into his winning stride, as poor
team work back of him was respon-
sihle for the defeats.
