BALL TEAM LOSES
TO RAPID CITY

The Philip baseball club Sum
dayed at Rapid City. where they
received q drubbing never to be
forgotten. Getting away to q
good start, it looked at the out
set as though they had the
game safely tucked iii, for the
score stood 4 10 o in Philip,s IA
vor at the end of the second in
ming. Right here is where some-
thing snapped and the balloon
went up. When the Jumps" had
handed out a half dozen free
tickets to first and had been
ably assisted with numerous
wild heaves, the speedy bunch
from speedtown had tailed
eight of their favorites. Man
ager Doc thereupon had several
"fitz" and yanked his twirler,
Bradley, in the deal. Shourds
pluckily took up the pleasant
~ task of carrying the burden
to the bitter end. He was not
disappointed, for it was a bitter
end, but it was a long ways off.
When the final error had been
made and the last wild heave
had been run down, the error-fill-
ed score board gave the grand
total of Rapid City 19 and Phil
ip 6.
The balloon came down short
" after the game was over and
has been repaired and made
ready for q new fight here Sun
day, when the fast Cheyenne
Indian team from up north will
play against the locals here. Be
on hand, for the game will be q
good one, and If an ascension Is
made, it will be worth seeing.

ROADS OF COUNTY MAPPED

The county commissioners,
working in conjunction with e.
O. Roush, county superintendent
Of highways, have completed
the designation of the roads OF
the county. The latter has or
dered q map plate showing the
county road system as outlined,
and as soon as the plate is re-
ceived the map will be published
in the county official papers, SO
that the people will know what
has been done, and offer objec-
tions, if they have any. At the
end of a certain length of time,
to be designated when the map
is published, the commissioners
will make what corrections, if
any, are deemed necessary in
the system, publish the approx
ed map and certify it to the
state highway commission.

Prairie Dog Campaign Started.

The six Government Prairie
Dog men are on the job feed
ing the Haakon county dogs.
They are starting on the west
ern side of the county and plan
on cleaning up the dogs as they
work east.
An extra man will be sent
here within a few days who will
spend all his time locating dog
towns for the crew, getting the
description of the land with mum
Der Of acres, etc. He will also
keep a check on all the towns
poisoned SO as to make a thoro
job of it. These men are to have
a complete camping equipment
and stay right on the job rather
than waste time travelling back
and forth. A truck and driver
has been hired by the month to
carry supplies and poisoned oats
out to the boys, also to move the
camp wagon. An accurate record
is to be kept of the amount of
poison and time spent on each
quarter section on which there
are dogs and only the actual ex-
pense charged to the land. This
expense should not exceed ten
cents per acre of ordinary in
tested land.
This is to be a systematic
and thoro campaign for the
good of the county. We hope
that every one will realize the
importance Of it and boost the.
work and aid the boys in every
way possible, for the best this
will be no easy task. Our motto
is to put a little Poisoned Oats
Crepe around every Prairie Dog
Hole in the County.--Haakon

so PER CENT FAILURE

Pierre, Reports from adjus-
tors of the state hail insurance
department indicate that there
will be an average Of SO percent
crop failure in the Jim river
valley this summer. Most of this
will be in wheat oats and other
small grain being only slightly
affected and corn in most cas-
es coming through in fine shape
Blight, some black rust, and in
some cases joint worms are re-
sponsible for the loss. The nor
theastern part of the state and
around Codington county has
suffered no particular loss; there
is no disease reported west of
the river; crops in the Rosebud
country are good. The Missouri
valley generally is in good shape
But the Valley Of the Jim, CEN
tering around Huron and Nit
chell, is entertaining some bad
epidemics.

MILWAUKEE'S SCHE-
DULE A FARCE

That the new train schedule
on the Milwaukee line between
Chamberlain and Rapid City
put on s.in response to the &C.
tion of the patrons of the road
west Of Murdo, is a farce is the
consensus Of opinion of the pa
pers along that line. It appears
that the road officials told the
state railroad commission, at
the recent meeting in Rapid City
that they would establish q tri-
weekly service. Nothing was
said about the curtailment of
any present service, but the daily
service between Chamberlain
and Murdo was discontinued,
and the tri-weekly is now the
only passenger service on the
division.
Well, folks, when you get
thoroughly disgusted with condi-
tions over there, move over to a
road where only night-hawks
have the privilege of seeing a
tain go through.

THE KIND OF HELP NEEDED

A dispatch from Washing
ton states that the government
lis preparing to give financial
aid to the cattlemen 0f the coun-
try to stimulate beef production.
Senator Kendrick, of Wyoming,
is leading the movement. The
kind Of help that is needed is to
assure the owners Of cattle that
they will get fair prices. instead
of having to go up against such
market manipulations as are in
evidence at the present time. All
the loans that the government
can make isn't going to en-
courage beef production. when
q stock raiser is cut to the bone
BY the SPECTATORS who set the
price he must take.

han and on August 9Th will sell
his cattle, horses, farm machin-
cry and miscellaneous articles
at auction.
Mr.. Goodell has been raising
exceptionally fine grade Here
ford cattle for many years past.
Seventyfive head of these cattle
with his herd leader, will be sold
at the auction. His steers have
topped the Sioux City market for
grass cattle for a number of
years, which is sufficient evi-
dence that his Offering will be
well worth consideration.
After the auction sale, Mr..
Goodell and family will move in
to Powell, where they have se-
cured q house and will make
their home for the winter. He
has it in mind to take mis- family
on a long auto trip next year and

OBITUARY..

Again has the shadow of death passed
over the ''village", as that colony of real
neighbors which eenters about the post
office at Sullivan is called. Few commu-
mites are more united or share more sym
pathetically one another's joys and sor-
rows. 1t is indeed "grief of mind to all
to lose Mrs. Abbie Lincoln Prescott, wife
of Eugene Simpson.
Mrs. Simpson died at the home of her
daughter, Miss Marion Prescott, at Cam
bridge, Mass, on Thursday evening,
March q, but she will ever be associated
with the Simpson homestead, which she
always called home, though living much
of her life in Cambridge, where her
daughter, and her son by her second
were educated. The son, E. Philip A..
Simpson, is lieutenant commander on the
U. 5. s. Salem, having recently been
transferred to that ship from the trans
port Seboney. He was stationed at the
Charlestown navy yard at the time of
his mothers death, and was able to be
much with her during the few weeks
previous.
While not wholly unexpected, Mrs.
Simpsons death came suddenly at the
close OF day of her usual cheerfulness
The funeral was held at Cherryfield, the
home of her girlhood, where she leaves
two sisters, Mrs. Freeman and Mrs. Bart
lett. Her son and daughter accompanied
the body to Maine. Her husband was on
the high seas and could not be reached.
Few are fortunate enough to have so
wide circle of real friends as had Mrs
Simpson. Her unstinted hospitality, her
genial nature, her loving and charita BILE
disposition, her cheerfulness under the
most trying circumstances, endeared her
TO all who knew her intimately. During
her long invalidism she had the most
devoted care and attention from her
daughter. who left nothing in her power
undone which would add to her comfort.
