tween two youthful racquet wielders.
Harold A. Throckmorton, formerly of

passed out of his teens by Just a year,
defeated his 17-year-old opponent in
q gruelling five-set match which re-

making a total of 81 games played.
This supplants the national singles
championship tournament record of
90 games made by Suffern Taylor
and Palmer Uresby, who in the tour
nament of 1883 at Newport, went so
games.
The match yesterday threatened an
upset several tipr~- co. Tovlor more

Throckmorton. The latter, who was
one of the second ranking ten In 1915.
showed his lack of practice early In
the match n did not get his strokes
working well utnil the contest was
well into the third set.
Taylor played remarkable tennis
for so youthful an entrant and re-
players battled with but a few feet
intervening across the net, brought
rounds Of applause from the galleries.
Both victor and vanquished tired rap
IDLY under the strain toward the end
OF thep lay and Throckmorton's great
err gameness and endurance were the
winning factors.
The entire first round and a portion
of the second was completed with the

Wheelers To Face
Ingots in County
Title Battle Today

Today is a big day for the Elks.
But they're not going to DO the only
pebbles on the beach along about
6 o'clock or whatever time the In
gots and Wheeler Conaensers pack
away their bats and call 1t a day The
winner of the Wheelers-Ingots game
this afternoon at the r. C. w. grounds
will do some tall growing and have
a perfect right to do so. Not since
the days of the county baseball
league has such intense rivalry been
generated for an athletic encounter.
In other words both teams have
blood ''in their eyes, and enmity in
their hearts. but a smile on their lips.
A little of that kiddin' stuff, that
smile. you know. But a yictory-oh
boyI
The wheelers will 60 into the game
more confident of the two teams, but
they won't have a thing on the Ingots
in the way Of determination. The
Wheelers have strengthened their
lineup with the addition of Aicer
Jensen former Ingots' and Newark
Bear portsider in the box. The Wheel
ers were strong enough as Il was, but
with Jensen on the job the Ingots
face a tough proposition.
But Harry Applegate. Ingots' cap
tain. opines as how he wouldn't care
if Jim Vaughan. himself faced the In
COTS this afternoon-he'd lose. And
Harry proposes to pitch himself. All
OF which means something.
The Ingots by their victories last
week in both the Camp Morgan and
Hercules series put themselves In
lines for the county championship.
They can tack on their claim for good
by defeating the Wheelers this after
loon since each team has won q game
in the series thus far, and the Wheel
ers have been lambasting all county
teams all season. In addition to the
high honor. the winner will annex
a handsome silver trophy donated by
the Elks.

Cherry Sisters i'm Farewell.

Cedar Rapids, Ia, une 24.-When
the curtain is rung down at a local
theatre next Saturday night, the
stage careers of Iowa's most noted
actresses-theI Cherry sisters-will
have come to an end. The three
sisters, Addie, Elizabeth and Effie
are appearing this week in a sketch
of their own writing, and it is the
first time in three years they have
bowed to local audience.
1t was in the latter part of the
last century that the Cherry sisters
were emblazoned on the bill boards
of New York as a vaudeville find
Vaudeville was young those days
and every manager was looking for
novelty. Oscar Hammerstein dis
covered the Cherry sisters and New
York went wild over them.
The Advertising they received
during that engagement was suffi-
cient to attract large crowds to see
them In all parts of the country.
When they retired for several years
later they had enough money to
buy farm near Marion which they
operated as truck garden.
Poor investments caused them to
lose the farm and in recent years
they are said to have been in
straightened financial circum-
stances. They now run a little bak-
cry on the west side of the river.
The Cherry sisters appeared at
Steyers opera house in DEBORAH
years ago.

MAY DRAFT BACHELORS.
Baker Expected Soon TO Urge Bill
Fixing Is to 45 Limit

Washington, June 24.-The pro-
posal to extend the draft age limit
to men between the ages of IS and
40 is gaining support in the war
department. There are strong in
dications that Secretary of War
Baker will recommend the enast-
ment of legislation to bring about
this change.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
has made a report to Secretary Bak-
er containing information in line
with that he gave before the senate
committee in advocacy of extending
the draft ages.
General Crowder has reported
that present calls for man power
will exhaust class / of the draft
age before many months have pass
ed. Unless the draft ages are ex-
tended it will be necessary to draw
men from class 2, which includes
many married men and men needed
in industry.
1t is more just, General Crowder
believes, to bring men in over the
age of 81, classifying them as to
their degree of indespensability in
industry and as to the degree which
wives and children are dependent
on them exactly as men between
the ages of p and 81 have been
classified.
There are many bachelors be-
tween the ages of 81 and 45, men
without any dependents, and war de-
partment officials believe there IS
in the class a larger number of men
Of independent means who could
be called to military service with
out bringing want to dependents
than within the ages now subject
TO draft. &

DEFUNCT CATS AND DOGS.
Animals Will Be Used
for Fats in Making Glycerine,
From Which Explosives
Are Formed

Muscatine, Ia, June 11.-Musca-
tines defunct cats and dogs will be
used to smash the kaiser.
The dead cats and dogs are to
be converted into fats for the manu-
facture of glycerine, from which
high explosives will be manufactur-
ed.
Two Muscatine citizens have ap-
piled to the city council for per-
mission to erect rendering plant
and it is expected that the petition
will be granted at the next meet
ing. The rendering plant will also
solve the problem of a burial
ground for the defunct animals.
Muscatine has no metropolis for
its dead cats. Several potter's
fields for the stray dogs that have
been buried at the public expense,
have been selected from time to
time but the canine sexton after
working for the city for a while has
thrown up the job and with it the
cemetery which was rented, usual
ly in the sections back yard. Some
times a strip of farm land was
rented, but when the owner re-
belled the sexton went on strike
and new sexton had to be hired.
Tha prOnospd cramatorv will oIco
take care of the city refuse. The
plant is to be constructed at the
eastern boundry lines near the
Wilton branch of the Rock Island
tracks. The company assures the
city council that the plant will not
be allowed to become nuisance.

They Taught This Man Lesson He
Won't Forget

Cascade citizens witnessed an
exciting time one evening last
week when one of their business
men, who has failed to support the
Red Cross, liberty loan and other
drives was taught a lesson in
patriotism. The fire bell rang and
when this citizen went out to learn
where the fire was, he was captur-
ed, roped and led about town with
the word Stacker" hung on him.
He was taken later to a theatre
where the film "A Man Without a
Country" was being shown and
was taken on the stage where he
was made to kreel down and kiss
the American flag. After agreeing
to do his bit in the future he was
permitted to return to his home

Mr.. Lucas Olson:
Dear Friend:-Well since you

much to do today. Well am fine
as can be, kicking around in the
dust, which is sure plentiful in this
part of the country. We are hav-
ing what / call real summer here
now. The sweat is rolling off from
me sitting here writing, but am
getting used to it now. We have
had plenty of rain here this summer
and everything looks fine; the rice
fields are in fine shape and the cot
ton looks good. There is some corn
raised here but not a great deal.
They raise lots of cattle around here
and once in a while we see a COW
puncher Some country, but give
me old Iowa to live in. Take it
from me the mosquitoes here are as
big as horse flies back home and
they almost chew our ears off, and
the cattle sure suffer when they are
real bad. We are only 20 miles
from the Gulf of Mexico. l was
at West Lake Sunday, about Is
miles from here and we had a fine
time. They make the trip in 20
minutes by -aeroplane. There is a
gunnery- camp out there and they
sure do some shooting.
Well how is the garage business2
see you have got partner now.
That is one thing that I miss moro
than anything is my Joy rides. Had
my first ride Sunday since l have
been in the army. Got a chance
to take up flying here now, but
don't know what will do yet
They sure got a bunch of real
flyers here. You ought to see when
they do their stunts. Flying sure
is fine. They do formation flying
here now, there are sometimes 20
ships in each formation and each.
one got his plane. This Is sure
some game. Our squadron has the
best standing of any in the field.
We expect some more in here soon
Who is working for you now? How
is old Teddy running? / don't sup
pose you have the evening ses-
sions so often in your Office as we
used to las winter. How is old
Clarence Christen? / sure would
like to spend few days at the old

PRICE OF WHEAT UP SOON.
Advance in Freight Rates Will
Necessitate an Advance i'm Price
of Wheat

Washington urges that the
widest possible publicity be given
the following dispatch relative to
an increase in the price of wheat
to Iowa farmers:
THE advance on freight rates on
June "a, will, in justice to the far
mer, necessitate an advance in the
price of wheat at the principal
Mississippi valley and eastern termi-
nails of few cents bushel. The
advance will be. worked out so as
to equalize as far as possible, the
wise incur through the increase in
rates. Details of the rate advan-
ces will probably not be known I'M
til June %, at which date We are
assembling committee of traffic
experts to consider what actual
advance in price is necessary in
compensation. 1t is impossible to
complete such a plan for few days
after the above date. 1t is our in
tention, so far as the peculiar
character Of the rate advance en-
ables us to do so, to work out a
plan that will leave the farmer in
the same intrinsic position that he
was in before that date"

Donate 10 Red Cross Ear of Corn
Marked With Society Emblem.

Cedar Rapids, Ia, June ga
An ear of corn which is expected to
earn many hundreds of dollars for
the Red Cross will be offered for
temporary sale in this city this
week, and then forwarded to the
next Red Cross headquarters.
The corn is of the yellow variety
and has red cross on it. 1t was
picked from field of forty acres
raised at Bernard, Ia, last year by
Joseph B. Connley and was given to
the Red Cross by his wife, who ex-
poets 1T returned to her when it
completes its journey to every Red
Cross chapter in the United States.
