Warwick Sentinel:-"McVille suf-
fered defeat, (that is Neville and
Starkweather) in a game of ball last
Sunday at Neville between the latter
towns and Warwick. The score was 8
to zero in favor of Warwick and Stark
weather got cold feet, that they felt as
chilly as forty degrees below zero be-
fore the windup. Warwick haste ken
their scalp two times under the yame
conditions, only that the score ran up
in the ewenties in the first game
played. Just why Neville should seek
the aid Of Starkweather is a question
for that burg was never known to
play any professional ball themselves.
Neville is a joke this year when it
comes to playing ball and so ably sup
ported by a hired battery. The fact
of the matter is that Warwick has
merely a bunch of boys home grown
right here on the Indian reservation
but they've got the stuff in them that
counts. It is said that at Neville the
boys nearly knocked the cover off the
pig skin.

A survey of the lighting and heat
ing practices Of the country has shown
that a change to a war standard of
economy will save the country from a
very disastrous fuel shortage during
the coming winter and the United
States Fuel Administration, therefore,
has under consideration an order de-
signed to prohibit wasteful practices
in indoor lighting, especially illumin-
ating during the daylight hours. It
is expected that the order will be
made effective within a few days. The
order will be followed by another or
der establishing rules for heating and
lighting public buildings, including Of
flee buildings, hotels and apartment
houses. The public will be asked at
the same time to reduce lighting in
the homes. It is thought when all of
the regulations have been passed upon
by. the U. S. Fuel Administration as
reasonable and necessary are in full
effect and the public has been aroused
to its share in the work of conserving
fuel the United States-as q Nation
viii lhave taken a long step toward
stripping for war;"

A great many of the people over
the county are indignant over the fact
that some of the politicians who were
present in the city for the meeting of
the Republican county committee we're
so much interested in politics that they
could not abide by the decision of a
majority of the members and adjourn
the meeting until after the funeral of
a lad who had died under the colors
which was being held just across the
street. Instead of waiting until four
o'clock-to which hour the meeting
had adjourned the "Col," perhaps still
sore because he lost the nomination
for States Attorney at the recent pri-
mary, marshaled his "chosen few and
they proceeded to have a convention
of their own. Some reverence for the
nations dead to be sure!

Editor Bloom chose a very oppor-
tune time to take a "crack" at the edi
tor of the World. This time he takes
Editor Crary to task for an editorial
that appeared in these columns some
weeks ago. If it has taken all that
time to get his article in shape he
should have taken a few weeks longer
as there was room for Improvement.
Mr.. Crazy is sick at present and out
of the city, which perhaps accounts for
the sudden inspiration" down the
street. If we were a little better &C.
quainted with the issues in this case
we could promise Brother Bloom an
ansmer that would "hush" him up in
about the same length of time that it
took A. B. J. to accomplish the same
result some months ago. Our ANU
milton would be of the same calibre,
but Of a different grade.

Ramsey county friends of Johnnie
Knapton, who spent three suemmrrs at
Edmore as a salaried pitcher on the
Edmore base ball team, will be pleased
to learn that Johnnie has lost none of
his old time ability, and that he is now
in the U. S. Service at American Lake,
Washington. A letter from H. He'll
dickson of Edmore who left for Amer
lean Lake with the drafted boys writes
back that a week ago he was a player
on n Of two teams that met for an
exhibition game. He was greatly sur
prised when he stepped into the bat
tiers box to find that the opposing
pitcher was "Knap". The meeting was
mutually agreeable. Johnnie is
pitching great ball for the army teams
and has made quite a record on the
coast. We predict that he will be as
good a soldier as he has been a ball
player.

that Tilpher Thompson, we'll known to
many residents of the county, and one
of the business men Of Edmore, had
lost the sieht1o IF one eye through an

He came to this city and consulted a
physician who also had no hope of
saving the eye. He has gone to Ro-

J. Baldwin, of Mortified, one Of
Minnesota's leading vegetable grow
ers, strongly urges that more people
save their own seeds. According to
the government reports, cabbage seed
will be very scarce next year, and of
course, it is too late now to produce
any more seed until 1919. Lettuce
and radish seed are also thought to be
scarce. Nearly every gardner can
save a few ripe peas and beans for
seed, and also seed for tomatoes, pep
pers, radishes, lettuce, squash, pump
kins, spinach, corn, cucumbers and
bit in saving seed is not only helping
to defeat the Hun but is putting mon
ey into his own pockets.

Grand Forks in which will be installed
a printing plant to publish a new daily

there's nothing in a name anyway!
If the merchants of Grand Forks do
not %patronize this paper any better
than they do the League daily in Far

short lived unless some. emans has
been provided to make up the def

if they are not to be had, how are we
