ST. CLOUD, LACKING BACKING,
DROPS OUT OF LEAGUE.

st. Cloud has dropped out Of the Cen
trail Minnesota Baseball league, accord
ing to word received from there by
Charles Sylvester, president Of the
league. The reason given is that the
team cannot get sufficient financial
backing by the St. Cloud business men.
The failure of St. Cloud to remain
with the league is disappointment as
that city, if any in the district, should
be able to turn out a rafting good
team.
With st. Cloud dropping out, the
league will have six teams, instead OF
seven. The schedule committee will
again have to rearrange the dates.

TWO INTERESTING
SERMONS YESTERDAY

Chaplain Trout delivered two very
excellent sermons at the First Chris
tan church yesterday to large anu
interested audiences.
He took for his morning subject,
Souvenirs, or Things That Abide. :
Chaplain Trout was about is months
in Europe and was with his divlsioh
at the front, but after the arm,stlce
was signed he has been especially
engaged in the study of educational
systems of France and England, max
ing special study OF the character
istics of the peoples. He said that
France was a souvenir nation, and
that they used the word souvenir in
its strict and original meaning, all
swering to the longing in everyone to
remember and to be remembered and
to have some tangible thing by which
tc preserve and perpetuate theil
memory of great men, events ano
places. So you would see in France
souvenirs everywhere.
Then Chaplain Trout said we al
desire to be remembered and Their
are three kinds of material out o
which we may make and leave to tn
. whole world monument that viii
abide, viz:
. 1. Intelligent industry.
2. Character.
|: 3. Service.
!. Then he closed with a very impres
