FORE RIVER HERE
ON SATURDAY
Will Line Up Against Fred Payne's
Pets at Harlan Base
Ball Park.

Fore River will be the attraction at
Harlan Baseball Park, lover the BRIDGE
on Saturday afternoon. Dutch Leonard
who has humbled many of the Steel
League teams, after he left the big league,
to become a shipbuilder, will likely be the
slab artist for Fore River Because of the
request of many patrons, the game on
Saturday will begin at 3 instead of $50
o'clock
The Harlan players who were arrested
because they played a game OF ball at
Harlan Park last Sunday, are wondering
what will be the outcome of the case,
which will come up for hearing In City
Court ON Friday morning Considering
the manner in which other towns and
cities look upon Sunday baseball, and the
urgencies of the demand for ships and still
more ships. the local fans feel that they
are being made the goat.
In Chester, Bristol. Hog Island and other
shipbulding sites along the Delaware
river. baseball games are staged on sun
DAYS. and nothing is said of 1T. On other
SUNDAYS. prior to last Sunday, many of
the workmen at the Harlan plant have
left the CITY to attend some of the games
at these places. and often have failed to
return for work on Monday morning
That made the Harlanites believe that
with games staged in this city on Sundays,
there would not be the attraction to go
"a-visiting," SO a game was arranged
Public sentiment regarding the Sunday
baseball games. has been very quiet, the
fans say, and for that reason they are
wondering what the City Court judge will
do with their case Friday. No admission
fee was charged, on Sunday there was abso-
lutelv no disorder at the game, and the
collection that was taken, went TO benett
the soldiers smoke fund.
Bill Gallagher's team is slated to go to
Camden this Saturday, to play the con-
cluding game Of the Delaware River Ship
League with the New York Ship team.
While the locals Will be on strange dia-
mond. and opposed TO one Of the best
teams in the league. the Harlanites are
not worrying about the outcome. They
still believe that they have q team that is
better than any other in the league.

THEY HAVE A DARK SECRET
Husband and Brother-in-LaW Feast
and Smash Piece of China, Which
Is MysterousIy Replaced.

Since the coming of the X-ray and
the perfecting of the Bertillon system
dark secrets have lost vogue. Yet Oc-
casionally one of them does escape the
keenest vigilance and flourishes with
all the old-time mystery, according to
the Kansas City Star.
Mrs. Miller has a set of chinaware,
the real creamy ware that the light
shines through. 1t is very old. Mrs.
Miller inherited it. She also inherited
the proud right to boast that not one
piece had ever been broken.
Mrs. KILLER went away. Mr.. Miller
entertained his -brother-in-law while
she was gone. There were other rel
atives that he might have entertained,
but in an unguarded moment he chose
his brother-in-law.
One night they made feast. They
baked a great number of things al in
one pan. - when it came out of the
oven it seemed to demand that it
should all be served on one plate. Mr..
Miller looked over the supply Of dishes
that had been left out for his use and
there was really nothing that would
contain it. a wild spirit of revelry
seized Mr.. Miller.

! shouted.

When the meal was ended, Mr. Mi
ler's brother-in-law suggested dish
washing. Mr.. Miller did not favor tha
plan, but finally yielded to it agains,
his better judgment. What happeneG
was quite natural.
The platter slipped and fell and
broke.
After all the years, after all the fam

From that night on those two mer

Now when Mrs. Miller entertains hel

TRANSPORT OF FARM PRODUCTS

Farm products will not be denied
transportation facilities, according TO
Il statement of the director general of
railroads, issued after a conference
with representatives of the United
States department of agriculture. No
list of "non-essential" agricultural
products has been issued, nor is such
an order contemplated. The director
general believes that under the plan
now being formulated it will be possi-
bic to provide adequate transporta-
ton for farm products this year. Farm
ers should place orders for cars when
needed with local freight agents as
has always been the practice.

way to Fargo to attend the Grain

for a day or We with the legislators
and others who will gather for the
extra legislative session at Bismarck
next week.
Mr.. Gronvold is an old resident of
Pierce county. having settled on a
farm in that county in 1885, and he
has been a participant in the work
which has brought that section of the
state to its present degree of pros
perity.s#; For. some time. in addition to
his other interests, he has been EN-
gagged inssthe automobile business in
Rugby.
Concerning the probable develop
ments of the approaching legislative
session MIR. Gronvold does not care to
hazard any guesses. He is not aware
of any strong demand among his own
constituents for a special session, but
he will await with interest the infor-
nation which he car obtain from 9TH
er portions Of the state as to the pres
ent needs. He hopes for the speedy
transaction OF whatever business may
prove to be necessary. and for ar
early adjournment, as he feels that
funds should not be spent in holding
longer thans Unnecessary.
