During the past several weeks
there has been much written apropos
of the sweet later crop of Henry
county. One time even Benton coun-
ty got in the public eye for a re-
mote second by reason of laying
claim to having within it's borders the
"champeenest" potato grower on the
map. Size, weight, and quantity of
production have each gone to de
cision in the word fest, and for sew
eral days it has seemed that nothing
remained to be done except to whet
up to masticating apparatus of the
Henry county natives for the pur
pose of disposing of the bumper crop

claws on the majcr portion of it.

Artistic And Attractive Is The Bird

Held Today.

The Bird and Butterfly Bazaar be-
ing staged today by the Presbyterian
ladies in the parlors of the Presbyte-
rian church, and as to artistic APP
pointment, attractive arrangement,
and competent management, the like
has ne'er been seen incur little me-
.rop6lis. To say that the entire base
ment of the church has been turned
into veritable fairy Land, where
myriads of birds and butterflies, "a
mong a multitude of twinkling lights
and varied colored festoons of paper
garlands, form gay and festive
scene is to put it mildly. Certainly,
quite an effort has been expended in
the setting of the affair and a visit
to the Bazaar is we'll repaid, even if
one does not care to be coerced by
charming salesladies into buying a
bit of dainty handwork, cumming
toy, home made candy, ETC., or to be
served a delicious lunch by pretty
and understanding mattresses, who
won't refuse tip because every cent
from the Bazaar goes toward the or
gan fund.

TAKE OATH ON SACRED BOOKS
Practice in Vogue Today Has Come
Down Through Centuries With
Very Few Changes.

The Christian oath on a copy of the
Gospel seems derived from the late
Jewish oath taken holding in the hand
the scrool Of the law Cor the phylac-
teries), ceremony itself possibly
adapted from the Roman custom. The
usual mode was to lay the hand on
the Gospel, and it was kept up to a
modern date in the oath of the Uni
versity of Oxford. The practice of
kissing the book, which became so
we'll established in England, appears
in the Middle Ages. The book was
often laid on the altar, or CATER the
manner of ancient Romeo the swear
er laid his hand on the altar itself or
looked toward it, above all, it became
customary to touch the relics of saints
ON the altar. Other objects, as the
cross, the bishops crozier, etc., were
sworn by. An oath ratified by con-
tact or inspection Of a sacred object
was called corporal or bodily oath,
as distinguished from merely spo-
ken or written oath. The English
word signifying the sacred object" on
which the oath is taken is ''halidome. !"
The "halidome" on which oaths are
sworn In England is a copy of the
New Testament. Jews are sworn on
the Old Testament; the sacred books
Of other religions are used in like
manner, a Mohammedan swearing on
the Koran, Hindu on the Vedas.

LIKE MATTY, LANNIN
is CHECKER EXPERT
Wagnate One of Most Capable
Players in Country.
Long Before owner of Boston Red Sox
Ever Thought of Becoming Owner
of Champion Baseball Team
He Was Checker Fan.

Baseball fans have heard so much
about the experiences of Cnrlsty
Mathewson in checkers they have been
led to believe that Big Six is without
a rival in the ranks of organized
baseball. Such is not the case, how
ever, for Joseph j. Lannin, erstwhile
owner of the Boston Red Sox and lead
ing spirit in the international league,
when he is in practice can give Chris
ty the game of his life at the checker
board.
Long before Lannin became identi-
fed with baseball he was checker
fan. Not only did he indulge in the
game for his own amusement and pas
time, but he backed with his bankroll
some Of the leading checker players In
the United States.
Long before Mr.. Lannin ever thought
of becoming the owner of a worlds
champion baseball team his thoughts
were on checkers. He was only
eighteen years old when his interest
turned to the game up in Massachu-
sets. He soon perfected his play to
such a degree that he vanquished all
the so-called country store champions
in the locality. Then he set about to
conquer the champs of the towns in
the immediate vicinity. AS mem
Der Of the Boston Checker club he
took part in great number of club
matches and often travelled long dis
tances to see matches played. Less
than ten years ago he travelled from
Boston to Toledo to watch match in
which a player he had backed was en-
gagged. He was rewarded for his pains
by seeing his player lose.
Mr.. Lannin has always believed
that checkers were In no small way
responsible for the success of Mathew
son on the pitching mound. Big Six
realized from his experience at the
checker board that ball game is not
over in one inning; the score at the
end of the game is what counts in
baseball just as it does in checkers.
Checkers helped Matty to plot and
plan at the beginning of ball game,
as he had done many time at check.

sons of strategy on the ball field.

were training In Jacksonville. Fla.
Wally was with the Jacksonville club
at that time and made such an impress

His successful campaign last season
with the worlds champions witnessed
his lightest hitting performance. He
batted only .272 in Boston. Once be-
fore, only, he failed to qualify in the

He dubbed for .295 that year as a

only a remnant of the old machine
with which Connie Mack had won four
championships and three world cham

In 1912, the year Jake Stahl's Red

had his best hitting year, 1927, and
that year, too, he stole the most bases,

beat the Giants for the second time

.314 in each of the seasons of 1914
