Not Graft As Suspected

A tax payer asked us Monday about the short lived iron cul- verts being used under the high way. He said that some of the tax payers were surprised that such flinesy culverts should be used under a permanent road and that they thought graft must be connected with it.
 We investigated the matter and found that the specifications of the state highway engineer called for these culverts. If there IS any graft the con- missioners and county judge are not guilty.
 We do think tha concrete should have been used and we do not agree with the salesman of the culverts that they will last forever. When they rust out the expense of digging up and replacing the macadam road will be greater by far than the difference in the cost of the iron and concrete. It IS false econ- omy and should not be allowed
 Two merchants in Van Buren explained the fact that they both got skinned on piano con- test by the fact that the contest company sent a 'darned slick salesman along to skin them. We suppose the sheet-iron cul- vert salesman was ''darned slick one.

The Dark Day

When the day of sickness
comes, as it comes to every gent.
and you sit, with folded thumbs,
far too weak to earn a cent, will
you have your little roll, to de-
fray the beastly bills, to procure
the grub and coal, and to buy the
needed pills? Feeling we'll, men
do not think, do not keep that
day in view, when their health
is on the blink, when they have
the itch or flu; and they blow in
all they make, blow it with their
heart serene, for glad rags and
angel cake, blazing gems and
gasoline. Each one thinks he is
immune, sickness will not come
his way, and he blows the round
doubloon in his large and prince
ly way. But some morning
there's call for the doctor and
the nurse; there's congestion of
his gall, and he's hourly grow
ing worse. And he lies around
in bed, just a weak and futile
wreck, with a poultice on his
head, and a plaster on his neck.
And his wife has pawned her
duds, and she's washing oy the
day, in a cloud of steam and
suds, just to keep the wolf away.
And he hates himself so bad
And he sighs, "When 1 am we'll
l will grip the useful scad till I
make the eagle YELL"

vited, and all Baltimoreans who wish
to take part in this protest against
the importation of German toys are
urged to attend.
The War Mothers are planning no
action at this time, but hope rather
to make useless the importation of
Hun manufactured toys through the
expression of public feeling against
such trade.

Yankees Queer
Baseball Club

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE Yam
KEGS are rather queer baseball club.
They have batting power an dpitch-
ing power, but are bit slow on the
bases. Their fielding could be i'm
proved on in spots, but, considered
on the whole, Yankee fielding is good
enough for any big league baseball
clubs.
Still, the Yankees are having the
time of their lives sticking in the top
divisions of Ban Johnson's circuit.
Taken from top to bottom, the
Yankee batting order offers poten-
tialities that are not found on any
other baseball club. In Sam Wick
they have hard hitting youngster
but one who is inclined to be head
strong on the bases and a little i'm
patient, when he gets a bat on his
shoulder.
Roger Peckinpaugh is practically a
cleanup hitter for most major league
clubs.
Wallie Pipp is undoubtedly one of
the most ferocious baseball punchers
in the business, and he is followed
generally by Frank Baker, another
of the same kind.
Derrill Pratt, is a murderous hitter
and Duffy Lewis was the mainstay
hitter of the Red Sox when he So

The pitching staff has shown genu-
inc class at times, and the hitters
have been in the habit of falling
down behind them.
The Yankees were slow in getting
off with their real speed. | was in
Florida while they were training and
noticed then that their muscles didn't
respond to ordinary training treat
ment as most ball players. Many of
them are veterans and take some
time to get in good condition.
Judged purely from heir POSSIBLE
ties the Yankees should be favorites
in the dash for the pennant. The
Yankees are whole and hearty. They
haven't yet begun to make themselves
felt as they should. Sooner or later
they should start and the sparks
should begin to fly. Detroit and
Cleveland appear right now as most
dangerous opponents for the Miller
Higgins brigade, with the White
Sox, of course, of course, always fig
ured in the race.
