M 'G|NTY CLUB OF TEXAS FAMOUS
 ASENTERTA|NER

FL PASO, Texas, April 29.-Presi- dents and prizefghters, ministers and monte dealers were entertained by the famous old McGinty club of El Paso. which has been non-existent for many years, but which held re- union of the surviving members here recently.
 In the frontier days, when Fl Paso was wide open and saloons never closed, there was a club which was organized for gambling, card playing that lew but gamblers and saloon own CTS could belong. This was called the Cactus Club To provide amusement for the men of the little border town who could not belong to the eXclu- sive organization, the McGinty Club was organized among the less pros porous residents of the settlement.
 The open meetings of this club be came famous throughout the West and the McGintys were known in the East. When President Harrison wis ited Fl Paso the McGinty Club acted as an escort for the Presidents party firing six-shooter salutes as they gal loped down the one main street. Wher Bob Fitzsimmons came here to trail in Juarez for one of his fights, he was the guest of honor at McGint. Club entertainment.
 The government, wishing to tes the theory that the discharge of higl explosives attached to balloons woul' cause rainfall, sent scientists here tC conduct series of experiments. The! fired tons of explosives from the peal of Mount Franklin and from the tail' of kites and captive balloons. Not ; cloud appeared in the sky. Just a the scientists were preparing to re turn East the McGinty Club staget a special entertainment for the rain makers" as the scientists were callet locally. They occupied the seats o honor under the caves of the club house and watched member dresses as an Indian medicine man do raj dance. At the conclusion of thi dance the rain came-from a garde hose in the hands of the perpetua

president of the club, who sat astride the roof and sprinkled the rain makers"
 The McGinty Club boasted of it's army, which was composed of the entire membership of the club. This army would drill each time the club met, and all members belonged.
 At the command, Generals to the front" half the command would ad- vance. "Colonels to the front" would bring half of the remaining members. Captains and lieutenants would ad- vance upon command, until only one lone man remained in the ranks. He would advance at the command ot "Privates to the front" and would hObble up and salute, having but one leg and a dented helmet This dr always delighted the visitors from the East, and Peg" Grendover, the en listed personnel of the McGinty Club army, was always the most popular member of the club.
 The McGinty Club claims the honor of firing the first barrage ever known admitting that they would not have recognized it by that name when il happened When they paraded the club always dressed in linen dusters high silk hats and carried canes. They were supplied with Roman candle! from supply wagon as they marched and would fire these along the street One night spark fell among the re I serve candles, touched them off, an( the entire supply was fired at tn same time. This, the surviving Nc Ginty club members claim, was tn first barrage in history.

PACIFIC LEAGUE TEAMS ARE MI
 IN GOOD TRIM

SAN FRANCISCO, April 29.-Cal- culations of the critics was consfd- erably upset at the end of the first week of play in the Pacific Coast Baseball League, when the Oakland and Vernon clubs both finished up in the first division-respective first and third. These two teams gener ally had been mentioned as the poor est aggregations of the league by those who had kept in touch with the preliminary training season.
 It is interesting to note that San Francisco, which led the league at the end of the first week last season, occupied the cellar position this year, while Los Angeles, which was tied last season for first honors, with a percentage of 571, had the identical percentage in second place this year.
 Good, bad and indifferent baseball marked the first week of play. the lack of effective team play being the most conspicuous fault Farce com edy was provided by the Oakland club in the opening game, when, with the bases full, double play by San Fran CISCO retired the side when the three Oakland base. unners tried to occupy third base at one and the same time.
 While no records were shatterel in the matter of attendance during the week, the gate receipts on the whole were satisfactory to the club owners Among the spectators were many oi the players of last season, in naval and military uniforms, watching thei1 former team mates at play.
 On Tuesday Salt Lake City vii formally open the season, when the home team lines up against the Los Angeles club for week of play Tht Salit Lakers opened the season with the same team at Los Angeles, when they lost the series by three to foul games.

THE SOLDIERS CHANCES.

Great as the danger and large
as the losses in the aggregate,
the individual soldier has plenty
Of chances Of coming out Of the
war unscratched, or at least not
badly injured.
Based on the mortality sta
tistics of the allied armies, a
soldiers chances are as follows:
Twenty-Five chances Of COM
ing home to one chance Of be-
ing killed.
Forty-nine chances Of recov-
ering from wounds to one chance
of dying from them.
One chance in 500 Of losing a
limb.
Will live five years longer be-
cause Of physical training, is
freer from disease in the Army
than in civil life, and has better
medical care at the front than
at home.
In other wars 10 to Is men
died from disease to l from bull
lets in this war 1 man dies from
disease to every 10 from bullets.
For those Of our fighting men
who do not escape scatheless,
the Government under the sol
der and sailor insurance law
gives protection to the wounded
and their dependents and to the
families and dependents of those
who make the supreme sacrifice
for their country.

rain grower, Centerville, s. D..
The Chicago Equity office will be
operated on exactly the same
ines as all other features insti-
;uted by the Equity Cooperative
Exchange which has become
known to farmers of the North
land Middle west as the greatest
boon they have ever known to
get the most of the hard labor
lat which they are toiling daily.
The Equity Cooperative Ex-
change was founded in 1911,
with a small frame structure at
|Moorhead, Minnesota, for head
Quarters. From the day it start
ed, it has grown and developed,
until today it can announce that
more than $45, 600, 900 worth of
farm products was handled on
it's books last year. Every farm
er working through the Equity
Cooperative Exchange is a pro
fit sharer in the business and
therefore every profit sharer is
a real booster. It is this boost
ing spirit that the Equity is 60
ing to instill into it's Chicago de-
partment, August LIST, when for
the first time in the history of
those enormous stockyards,
farmers will come into their own
full rights and buy and sell cat
tie without being victims of the

One part of the decision has
the effect of a direct slap in the
face of Allen, Burnquist and the
others in their endeavor TO
frame up a case against the
League. Near the end Of the
decision the court says: 1T is
perhaps not out Of place to say
that the resolution has not yet

This team was first seen in the
northwest at Grand Forks in
1915 and again in 1916 and were
the star feature of both years.
A description Of their feats is
hardly necessary as many thous-
ands of people can testify to the
fact that auto-polo is deserving
of the name motor Insanity"

ALIENS.

There are enemy aliens and
there are native aliens. The
American who does not do his
part toward winning the war,
who neither fights nor works
nor lends for victory is as much
an alien to Americas purposes
and Americas cause as the rank
est Prussian interned in this
country. !.
This is a war Of peoples as well
as of nations, and each ndivid-
ual has a place and a duty.
