New York, July 30.---As long as
~ Cobb can see the benders coming
over the platter he is going to be up
there giving everybody in the Ameri-
can league a battle for the leadership
in batting.
For time this season Tyrus was
forced to trail along with a poor
swatting average. lie did lot start
hitting until the season was more than
two and a half months old. and il
recently became known that eye trou-
BILE was the cause
Cobb contracted severe cold early
in the season--one of those colds
that won't let go-and 1t finally at
greatly worried over his trouble, and
his worrying did not help him to re-
cover as quickly as he might have
done. But when he finally got rid Of
the cold his vision cleared up, and he
started after the leaders-Sisler,
Baker and others--laughingly declar-
ing that he would give EN- all one
moro battle for the batting kingship.
Cobb, like Wagner. Lajoie, Craw-
ford, Crayath and others will be a
dangerous hitter long after he has
really started on the backward path
as an active player. He Is the most
natural hitter who has ever worn a
big league uniform. He has proven II
conclusive1y by leading the heavy
hitting American leaguers for ten
years.
When the final averages are chalked
up this season look out for the name
OF Tyrus at the head of the list.

Everywhere on the great green
stretch of level ground boys and girls
were playing cricket. He stopped 10

it's rules, and politely he was enlight-

turn at bat He accepted. and he
confessed later that as a cricketer he
was first-class second lieutenant,
But he had mig innings one of his
admirers said something about base
ball The officer at once started to
explain the rules OF the game. On
a page from his notebook he sketched
a diamond and described the positions
OF the various players. At the end
of his little TAX he remarked:

PROCLAMATION

Whereas, health is largely de-
pendent upon proper sanitation and
clean living surroundings, and
Whereas. clean and well kept
lawns. alleys and streets are both
mark of civic beauty and civic
pride. and
Whereas, our city has always
borne an enviable reputation for its
we'll kept lawns and clean surround
ings, and
Whereas, it is the wish of all to
sustain its reputation in such re-
spects.
Therefore, at this time of the year
such conditions are indeed of earn
est attention. l would recommend
to all citizens that they exert ev-
cry effort to brighten up their par
ticular section of the city by clean
ing lawns, trimming trees and shrub
berry, disposing of rubbish. painting
buildings and in other ways bright
ening up and improving said city.
And in keeping Herewith l have
designated the week commencing
Monday, April 22nd, as Clean UP
Week in Audubon. and trust that
everyone will do their best in aiding
in every way to brighten up and
improve the appearance and condi-
tons of our city during said time.
Dated at Audubon, Iowa, this 16
day of April, 1918.

FOOD VIOLATORS ARE
TO BE PUNISHED

This is the announcement from
the local office today. Violators

Communications from ]. F. Deems
state food administrator, to the local
office today, admonished authorities
here to take immediate action in
cases of violation. Two instances
are cited as examples of what will
happen to dealers or others who do
not conform with the food regula-
tons.
w. B. Rossell of Salem, lows has
been arrested for boarding four
sacks of wheat flour and bound yer
to the federal grand jury. II, will
be heard at Keokuk. He was put
under 1000 bond. An EN- loye
of Rossel's was fined $500.
II. E. Roberts, of Pottsville, Ia,
has been fined $500, the money be-
ing given to the Red Cross, and
made to sign public apology for
selling flour at retail without the
proper substitutes.
Those who have more flour in
their possession than they are en-
titled to will take notice of the
above. Those who have tried it are
getting along better with the sub
stitute than when eating the pure
wheat flour. There is the barley
flour, cornmeal flour, rice and pota-
to flour, and with little experience
and patience on the part of the
housewife, very nutritious food can
be made. Think of the boys in the
trenches and learn to give up all
you have that they may be sent the

1t is announced that later on Mr..
c. c. Pugh will be candidate for
secretary of state. He has a wide
acquaintance all over Iowa, has been
a newspaper man most of his life
and now sends out the interesting
letter from Des Moines to large
number of papers every week Mr.
Pugh ranks high as a writer and
as public spirited citizen. He has
excellent ability and would give to
Iowa the very best of service i'll that
position. He was born in Dallas
county and was clerk of the district
court up there six years. We ex-
pect Polk county to give him an
enormous vote. He has helped so
many men to public office that of
course he will now be given support
by many of them. There is every
reason why he should win. We
know him well and we ask republic
cans over the state to learn of his
qualifications and fitness for the
position. c. C. Pugh stands square
on all public questions and is loyal
to friends to the last ditch and is
worthy of the support of all our
people Editorial from Park Ave
