Protection for Carrier Pigeons.

Carrier pigeons in China are pro.
tecte6 from birds of prey by an ap
paratus consisting of bamboo tubes
fastened to the birds bodies. AS the
pigeon flies, the air passing through
the tubes produces a shrill whistline
sound, which keeps the birds of prey
at distance.

Many Had Submarine Idea.

The first record Of a submarine in

Bourne. After him inventors were
granted patents as follows: SIMMONS,

a gradual development.

MinOt- Burlington Road in Bad Shape.

The south valley highway between
Minot and Burlington is reported to
be in very bad shape, with little
chance of having any more work done
on it this season. This is the piece
of road tnat the state highway COM
mission is supposed to grade and
gravel. The work for some reason
has been delayed and the road is in
such condition that it is hard to travel
over it with an auto or a load of any
kind.
The highway commission at first
planned on putting on 900 cubic feet
Of gravel to the mile, but later de-
cided that 1900 cubic feet would be
necessary, yet no work has been done
at all. The county commissioners say
they are powerless to do anything.
for whatever they might do in repair
ing the road would be simply throwing
the county's money away.
Since writing the above we learn
that the Association Of Commerce has
been active in trying to get the nee
essary appropriation from the county
commissioners in order that the work
may proceed, and at meeting of the
directors held at noon today action
was taken to have petitions circulated
amongst the businessmen of the city
asking that the county commissioners
make the necessary levy. This will
be done Immediately and there is
every likelihood that the appropriation
will be made. The county comission-
ers are all progressive men and real

are essential to all residents Of the
county, but they also realize that they
are public servants and are subject to
criticism at times, and they do not
feel like taking action in this matter
until some expression from the tax
payers has been received.
In case work is started on the new
road it will be Strengthened out 2 in
a few places and one Of the best high
ways in the state will be built.

SHERIFF LOSES
MONEY BOARD
I'M ING PRISONERS
Bill for August Was Only $6l.75
Whereas at One Time Sheriff Made
As Much as His Salary From
Board.

Sheriff Nedreloe's bill to Ward
county for boarding prisoners for the
month of August was only $61.75.
There have been but two or three Jail
birds in the county bastile during the
month
There aren't many bad folks around
any more. People are SO busy with
war work, that no one has any time
to get into mischief. While all of
the booze has not been exhausted,
there are very few drunken people to
be seen any more. Blind pigging and
bootlegging have gone out of style.
Wages are so high that it's easier to
get out and earn a few dollars than
it is to steal them. There has been
but little crime and our police officers
even find time to do some harvesting.
The war evidently has reduced crime
at home to minimum.
Some years ago it was not uncom-
mon for the sheriff to have bill of
a thousand dollars month for board
ing prisoners, and he was able then to
make as much by boarding prisoners
as from his salary. At the present
time, the sheriff has to do some tall
figuring to keep from going into the
hole

"On the way back we had the ex-
element. About 1890 p. M. an ocean
liner was sighted astern of us. She
must have sighted us at the same

first caught sight of them. During
war time no lights are visible on any
ship at sea. They turned right for
us and struck us on the port side of

knock most of US out Of our hunks.

Wisconsin Enters Track
Team For Penn RELAYS

Wisconsin University is bringing on
all its best men for the Penn relay
carnival, in Philadelphia, next week.
Coach Jones yesterday sent in entries
which compose two relay teams and
some men for the special events.
The four-mile team should give a
very good account Of itself. Three
of the n Members of this team scored
in the Western Conference champion
ships. Crump and Dennis were sec
ond and fourth in the two-miie cham
pionsh.ss, while Golden scored third in
the mile run. The fourth man, Elsom.
though newcomer, is said to be the
fastest man of the lot.
In the distance medley relay cham
pionship, Maleckar will run the quar-
ter, Nash the half. Ramsey the three
quarters. and Crurp the mile The
Nv" men will be up against very
strong competition. as Penn State
Pittsburgh, Chicago. Columbia and
Michigan are also in this event, with
strong teams.
These medley relays take place or
Friday, which is Army and Navy Day
Most interest will centre in the mill
tary and naval events, some Of which,
like the squad drill, the bayonet charge
race and the wall-scaiing contest, have
a real military favor. The real feature
of these events will be the meeting in
competition OF the two branches of the
national service. namely the soldiers
and sailors.

Boxing News and Notes
. BY FRED HAWTHORNE.

he is on recruiting duty in this coun-
try, and he hopes, if his arm regains
its usefulness. to go back for another
whirl at the Hun.
Let US look at the other side Of the
picture. Willard is married and has
several children; but his family will
never want for lifes necessities. If
Willard never drew down another dol
lar, he and his family would not feel
the pinch Of hunger
When this country first began to feel
the real urge of the world war and the
people began to realize just what a
German victory you'd mean, Jess, who
had been inactive N the ring for years,
but very active with his circus, aroused
wave of genuine approval by an
nouncing that he would fight Fred Full
ton or any other worthy opponent, but
only upon one condition-that all the
receipts of such a fight should go to
the Red Cross for war work.
1t looked like a generous offer. and
Willard's proposal was hailed by per-
sons all over the country; but after
several weeks of countrywide advertis-
ing in the sporting pages of the news
papers it gradually became apparent
about it. A few weeks later he and
the interests" behind him were angling
for place in which to hpld q cham
pionship bout with Fulton-on a
strictly financial basis, with Willard
and Colonel Miller to divide the net
receipts, after paying Fulton $4,000.
Is Now Over Draft Age
So, you see, it finally came back to
the sordd question of money, money
for Willard, and, even at that. nobody
would have objected had not Jess first
started this patriotic" camouhage

Columbia Ready
For Swarthmore
Battle To-Day

Instead of going to the Polo Grounds
yesterday afternoon, Coach Coakley an
nounced to the Columbia baseball
squad that another long practice would
be III order for the day. This was made
necessary by the nearness of the
Swarthmore game this afternoon. There
has been only one practice for the
team IN the last week, and a large
number of improvements were made in
yesterdays workout
From B o'clock to the second string
team occupied the diamond. After an
hour of warming up. Coach Andy Coax
ley sent his regulars cut for thorough
drill. Toward the last of the afternoon
short practice game was played with
the Federal Rendezvous team from
Brooklyn. No official score was kept,
but the semi-pro nine finished five
runs in the lead. Luber, substitute
pitcher, took the box for Columbia.
Farrell and Koenig, the two regulars,
are being saved for Swarthmore this
afternoon. Demeree twirled for the
Brooklyn team.
Ogden, Swarthmore's star pitcher, is
the only factor in to-day's contest to
worry the local nine. The only change
that Coach Coakley will make in his
team will be to place Houlihan, heavy
hitter. in place of Urls, in left field.
