COOKS COLTS cAP1TULATE.

COOKS COLTS CAPITULATE.
= A large and enthusiastic crowd was
present at the fair grounds Sunday
afternoon to witness the B. Of r. F.
ball team Of this city trounce Cooks :
Colts from Blair, Neb.
The boys from across the creek
brought . large delegation of rooters
s but they rooted" in vain. The To-
Gals played air-tight ball and in no
stanza We're they endangered.
Moore, Missouri Valleys star
twirler, had the Blairites eating ou.
Of his hand from the moment the ses-
sion started until the grand finale in
the ninth
Cooks pitcher was lambasted SO
hard and SO frequently that lie was
Extracted in the sixth stanza, and the
hurler who replaced him Jared no bet
ter.
McCune and Rensler hit the pill
with a regularity that simply made
the Colts nauseous. But even at that,
Blair put up a good game and was
simply outplayed, the locals winning
by score Of s to 2.
Vincent Of Mo. Valley broke one Of
the bones in his ankle while making a
slide to third.
w. c. Walker, who acted as general
arbitrator, gave good satisfaction to
both combatants and spectators.
4 Manager McKinnon deserves much
credit for the able team he has as
sembled, and each and every one Of
the players is likewise commendable
for the clean, high-class article of
ball that is being given to the public.
Next Sunday the Logan team will
be here for the sacrifice, and big
crowd Of fans will no doubt be pres
ent.
Come out and help Missouri Valley
win.
What makes woman want to jug
gle the furniture around the house
about once a month, and put one piece
where another piece was? 1t is very.
disheartening to come home late and
try to go to bed on the chiffonier.{
1t is expensive to maintain a team
Of horses, an automobile or an affini-
lty. In fact we can't think Of anv-
thing worth having, just now, that Isl
not expensive.
Dispatches today state that the
corkscrew skirt is the latest thing
out in Paris. If any American girl
attempts to use it her mother ought
to stopper.
Ocean travel is being made safer
thansit used to be, but there does not
appear to be any promises Of its be-
coming any less unsettling to the
stomach.
We object to any fellow hanging
over our desk and explaining what the
country needs when what he needs
himself is bath and disinfectant
for his breath
The geologist, says scientific pa
per, thinks nothing of thousand
years. He'd be bad one to lend
money to.
We read that bustles are coming
back. Woman is constantly enlarging
her sphere. If it isn't one way it's
another.
The more we study the statutes the
more we become in favor Of enforcing
all the laws, against everybody but
ourselves.
There is SO much gum made now
adays that no girl should try to chew
it all up at once-not in the street
cars, anyhow.
The dispatches state that south
ern editor has just built $4,000
residence. We believe it is a lie. No
list Of subscribers on earth ever paid
up that good.
A woman's tears are small things,
but they scare fellow worse than
gun carrying an ounce bullet.
A man may wear as many medals as
Rear Admiral Tirpitz and still be
henpecked.
A farmer purchased revolver for
his wife while tramps were plentiful
a while back, and insisted upon target
practice, so that she could defend her
self during his absence. After bull
let was dug out Of his leg and the COW
was buried, he said she better do her
shooting with her mouth, which al
though explosive more or less, was
not necessarily fatal.
