General Pershing Returns.

General ferSnlng Returns.
John J. Pershing, whom congress
has honored with the full rank of gen.
eral, and deservedly so, has returned
to his native land, and his reception
surpassed any ever given an American.
He came with honors and glory he we'll
won as chief of the greatest army this
country has ever had in action. The
victories won by him demonstrate
his superior ability as commander
and a tactician. Although the meth
cd of warfare in Europe was new he
proved himself equal to the occasion
and readily surmounted the obstacles
which confronted him, emerging from
the great war with victory perched on
his banner.
It was shortly after America en-
tered the war that Pershing crossed
to France, and a year and half
later he had 100000 men directly un-
der his command. The work of con-
verting: these troops into effective
fighting men was stupendous one,
but he mastered the situation with
the result that our army outranked in
efficiency all others in the field. Like
all great generals, he made mistakes,
but they were of minor Importance
and not sufficient to interfere serious
ly with his victorious campaign. He
measured up to requirements both in
generalship and the spirit of Ameri-
canism with which he is imbued. He
showed his real greatness when he
offered Foch the whole of his army
to be used as the French field marshal
might direct.
Pershing will have his critics-and
in fact has them-but criticism will
die out when the people fully realize
what he has accomplished for the
American nation. He virtually won
the war and he and his army have
covered themselves with glory. We
cannot too highly honor General
Pershing for his remarkable achieve
ments.

campaign, and for no selfish purpose.
as you all know. We believe that this
campaign is the highest expression of
our patriotism, because all great men
in this country agree that Christianity
is the basis of democracy for which
we have just spent billions Of dollars
and sacrificed millions of lives. Hon.
William Howard Taft says: "Nbw no
man can study the movement of mod
ern civilization from an impartial
standpoint and not realize that Chris,
tianity and the spread Of Christianity
are the only basis for hope of modern
civilization in the growth of popular
self government" So this movement
is both Christian and patriotic. Lets

something to bring the world to
Christ" Publicity Committee,

Donald Wallace of Baldwin on Mon

lives.
The boys went to Minneapolis last

and fell unconscious to the sidewalk
himself. A policeman rendered i'm

Glen soon recovered, but the doctors
worked over Donald several hours be-

told him that had he remained in tho
room 10 minutes longer he would have:

Upon examination of the room by
the police they came to the conclusion
that someone had forced gas through

TO BOYS
Homecoming Festival in Honor of Re-
turned Service Men is Given
by Four Townships.
Hundreds of People Attend Celebra-
ton on Sunday in Anderson's
Grove at Glendorado.

The people Of the townships of
Glendorado, Greenbush, Santiago and
Blue Hill certainly demonstrated their
true Americanism and patriotic hos
pitality when last Sunday they gave
big festival in Anderson's grove,
Glendorado, in honor of the soldiers,
sailors and marines who have returned
to their homes in these towns from
service for their country. All the
boys, as well as the public, were in
vited, and the service men appeared
in uniform. Hundreds of people from
the surrounding country were there
to greet the boys and the Homecoming
festival was an occasion which will
long be remembered.
The arrangement committee made
extensive preparations for the event
and furnished free dinner, afternoon
luncheon, cigars and other refresh
ments. So we'll had this committee es-
timated the number which would at
tend that there was great sufficlen-
cy for everyone; and this, of course,
pleased the caterers, who spared no
expense to make the day real home
coming reception. BY the way, lest
you do not fully understand, the ca
terers who furnished the edibles were
ladies, not mere men.
A speaker from the Federal Reserve
bank at Minneapolis delivered very
interesting address on farm econom-
les which covered numerous PROPOSE
lions, and the Glendorado band, un-
der the leadership of Charley Umbe-
hooker, discoursed pleasing selec-
tions. This band is one of the finest
pin the surrounding territory and it is
growing better as time progresses.
Then, we must not forget the Glen
dorado choir, for this is an organiza-
ton deserving Of especial credit; in
fact, we know Of no choir in this part
Of the country which is so well trained.
All in all, the day was one of happy
sociability delightful and edeserv-
ing reception to the boys who have
fought our battles overseas, on the
seas, and performed their duties in
their home land. In the notable
words of Lord Nelson at the battle of
Trafalgar, every man has done his
duty"

Civic Club Lyceum Course.

Late in the summer our school
board found that it was committed.
through a misunderstanding, to Tire
responsibility of lyceum course to-
be put on this coming fall and winter:
All the members of the board are
busy men who willingly give of their
time to further all interests of tie
school in our district, but the construc-
ton of the new grade school, made i'm
perative by the burning of the old
high school building last summer,
adds many extra burdens to all of"
them. Hence the members did not
wish to undertake the management of
a lyceum course, which requires the
expenditure Of much time to insure
success, and gladly availed themselves
of the offer of the Civic Betterment
club to relieve them of this RESPONSE
bility.
This lyceum course is to be firm
ished us by the state university and att
a cost which means that we secure
the entertainments for just what the
university has to pay for them. No
middlemen or company makes any:
profit from them except what can be-
made right in our own town.
This department at the university
is Of great value-particularly to the
small towns in the state as it Sc
cures for all who wish them these en-.
tertainments which would often be-
prohibitive if, in addition to the pri-
mary cost, there would have to be
added the profit of a lyceum conn.,
pany.
In this lyceum course Ia fuller ac-
count Of which will be given later
there will be six programs, one to,
be given each month. Single admis--
sions to each entertainment will be,
fifty cents but, in order that the whole
course of concerts and lectures may
come within the reach of all, the club
has decided to put on sale the sea-
son tickets for adults at the low price.
Of dollar and half and for children
including the high school pupils, at
one dollar.
A lyceum course is seldom paying
undertaking and is put on chiefly that
the community may enjoy a good
grade Of entertainments. This is the ]
principal reason for the Civic clubs
assuming this responsibility, but il
the hearty support is given to this
course which it warrants, it can be
made a paying enterprise as we'll;
as an uplifting one.

On August 80 Justice Morton issued
a warrant for Schumacher's arrest
and he was this week apprehended as
stated. Schumacher is 32 years old.
This morning Schumacher was

panied by the sheriff, county attorney

LOCALS FAIL TO WIN
In Last Sundays Ball Game Anoka
Gobbles Long End of Score,
Which Was 4 to /.
Fo1ey's Scrappy Nine Will Try Their
Mettle With Princeton Boys
on Sunday, Sept. IA.

~ Playing before a. crowd of 200 the
.Anoka and Princeton ball teams
fought it out to the bitter end in Their
Sundays battle at the fair. grounds
Bitter indeed it was for the Princeton
fans, for they watched their favorites
hold down the best semi-pro team in
the state for eight rounds and then
with the score 1 to 1, two men out
and nobody on, saw them hand the
game to the visitors on silver tray
with the donors compliments. It was
a heartbreaking finish and the gloom
of the defeat settled down over the
home congregation just at the time
things were looking the rosiest for a
Princeton victory.
Neither team scored in the first
round, a fast double play cutting off
the only Anoka runner to get to first
in this frame. Anoka took the lead
in the second when they slipped in one
run on a combination of two hits and
some daring base running. After this
it settled down to a grind with each
team playing errorless ball and both
pitchers going in good shape. Each
team made valiant efforts to put over
another counter but it was useless,
and sharp fielding and alright pitch
ing nipped in the bud anything that
began to look like score for either
side. Princeton's efforts were crowned
with success eventually in the 9Th in
ming. With one down Beckett touched
up Spencer for single over second.
Doane hit grounder to Holstrom at
first, who forced Big Bill at second,
but the runner at first was safe and
moment later stole second standing
up. Murphy, playing third for Prince
ton, jockeyed Spencer for walk and
it was up to Mitchell. "Mitch" made
himself extremely popular with the
home crowd when he banged out
double that scored Doane and sent
Murphy to third. Big Andy was next
up and the crowd yelled madly for
blow of some kind from the big fell
lows trusty bludgeon! Spencer
frightened up and forced Anderson into
an infield pop-up which retired the
side without further damage.
With the score tie, one all, the two
teams again settled down to grinding
baseball, each determined that the
other would break first. With the
score still tie the game drifted into
the ninth and, when Princeton made
easy outs of the first two batters up
on infield grounders, it began to look
as If the home team was going to
have a golden opportunity Of grab
bling the bacon in the last half of the
ninth. OLeary, next hitter up for
Anoka, laid down a. nice easy roller

winter and the senate then refused to
act upon it. The bill provides for a
commission of seven to manage state
finances.
The first attempt to amend the state
primary election law was made by
Senator Paul Guilford, who introduced
a bill which provides that each voter
when he registers for the primary
election shall designate his party af-
filiation. The bill, it is claimed, would
prevent members of one party voting
the ticket of another party at the
primary. This practice has been de-
clared one of the chief evils of the
present primary law in that it will
allow the members of one party to
nominate weak candidate on another
ticket, and this, it is charged, has Of
ten been done where there was no real
contest at the primary in one of the
parties.
Senator Cliff has introduced two
drainage bills, both looking to a COM
prehensive system which will prevent
floods.
Establishment of a department of
trade and commerce and adjustment
of the office of state oil inspector is
sought in bill introduced in the house
by Representative John Levin.
Two soldiers bonus bills are before
the house. One of them backed by the
military affairs committee, provides a
straight SIS month for each month
spent in the service, which is expected
to take 100000. This is supported
by the American Legion. The other
follows the line recommended by the
World War Veterans, giving SIS a
month, with $25 to all men with de-
pendents, and providing total of $751;
100000. The military affairs commit
tee has bill in the house to give the
American Legion state organization
offices in the state capitol.
CHI. Warner in the house proposes
bill to give the state board of con-
troll fixing Of standards for coal sold
at retail and providing fines for
dealers selling coal below the stan

lions voted to recommend the Nolan
Christensen budget bill, which was
passed by the house at the regular
session, but allowed to die in the SEN
ate.

to CAPTAIN Bob and it looked like easy
for the third out. The dough-
ty captain overplayed the ball, how
ever, fumbled for minute and, when
he finally Strengthened up to throw,
the fleetfooted Irishman was flashing
past the bag. Beckett issued free
transportation to Wadsworth, putting
two on with two down. This put
Spencer up and Big Bill slipped over
two strikes on the exleaguer before he
realized what had happened. The
next one Bill inadvertently laid right
down the groove and .'Tubby" smashed
it over second base for clean single,
scoring OLeary and leaving two of
the Anoka men still encumbering the
bases. Corbett cleared up this situa-
ton when he drove singing triple
to deep right, making the score 4 to /
in favor Of Anoka, which proved to
be the final count, as the locals failed
to get a man to first base in the last
half of the ninth.
The old saying, "youth must be
served" proved wrong in this particu-
lar contest as Spencer outpitched his
younger opponent. The old ex-leaguer,
who in days gone by had drawn good
money from Chicago, St. Louis and
st. Paul for fooling would-be fence
busters with his hooks, slants and fast
ones, let the locals down with three
measly hits, only one of which was
good for an extra base. The old fell
low had good control, struck out seven,
allowed only one walk and won his
own game in the ninth with a timely
single. While he was dealing out this
stingy portion to the hit-hungry
locals the hired hands of Manager
Coleman were jumping onto Big Bill
for total of six hits, so percent of
which was clipped off by Corbett, An
oka's fast outfielder. The little fellow
banged out three hits out of five trips
to the plate and drew pass for good
measure: An injured wrist, received
in batting practice just prior to the
game, seemed to bother Bills control,
and he walked six men and hit an
other, something unusual for him. It
was hard game to lose but it was
played fair and clean and in the spirit
of good craftsmanship we doff our
bonnets to the team from the Nut citv
and wish them all kinds of success in
their coming battle with Saltwater for
the semi-pro championship of the
state, to be played at the prison city
next Sunday. =.
- Billy Hoke worked as umpire-in-
chief and the old reliable Heine Plaas
handled the base decisions. Where the
play was so close and feeling running
pretty high it was only natural that a
few kicks should be registered by a
few of the players and fans. Our
opinion is that the game was excep-
tionally well u1npired by both men.
Princeton will officially close the
1919 season with game with the
fighting Irish from Foley at the
Princeton grounds next Sunday.
Dame Rumor has it that Foley is de-
termined to beat up Princeton for this
one game if they have to hire Mike
Kelly's whole championship crew
from st. Paul to turn the trick. Game
called at 3 p. m. sharp. -

r. U. Woodley q Son Distribu-
tors for Tishomingo County, for the
lively Briscoe says that the Briscoe
has Half Million Dollar MOTOR
in it. which Benz Briscoe and his
brother Frank designed over in
Paris (France.)
Let that be as it may the Briscoe
has got wonderful power and the
way it climbs hills and sails through
mud and sand indicates a power
plant of extraordinary performance.
The motor is not all by any means
according to Mr.. Woodley. Shock
absorbing, full eleptic springs, found
only on Briscoe and Franklin cars.
He says the strongest bumps melt
under the resilient springs and gives
a JOY and comfort to the passengers.
The season is young yet but Mr..

that it will be more than a mere
boast.
