SUNDAYS GAME BROKEN UP IN
FIFTH INNING; FRANKLIN
QUITS COLD. -

The game of ball staged at the fair
grounds Sunday afternoon gave every
promise of being high-class playing
but unfortunately it ended in a fizzle
in the fifth inning, when the players
from Franklin refused to abide by the
decisions of the umpire and Indignant
" walked off the diamond. The trou-
BILE started when the local pitcher
caught Franklin man stealing from
second to third. The put-out was
neatly made, but the other side I'M
mediately claimed balk ball. Al
though the local team tried to avoid
the walk out by making several con-
cessions, the Franklin team absolute
ly refused to continue the game. The
incident was an unfortunate spne, and
it is too bad that one or two chaps,
for various reasons, are permitted to
break up a game in this manner.
Thursdays Game.
One of the big events in Redwood
county balloon will be staged Thurs
day afternoon at the fair grounds at
three o'clock between the crack team
from Marshall and the local nine. This
game has been eagerly looked forward
to by the fans, for it is expected to be
hummer. On July 21, Redwood de-
feated Marshall in a twelve inning
contest, the score being 2 to /. This
is the return game. tSlig
Redwood is going to- try to. put a
nine on the diamond that will be un-
beatable, and we understand that the
Marshall nine will also be composed OF
all-star players. This means that the
fans are going to witness some fast
playing. Let US hope that Thursday
game will be played strictly on its
merits and that the best team wins
Clean baseball sport can never thrive
by the players ignoring te umpire and
indulging in rag chewing match at
every close decision. There is nothing
that will kill the sport of playing base
ball quicker than this.
1t is rumored that the Redwood nine
will play the Crosby nine at Lexington
Park on August s. The arrangements
are now being made between the sport
ing editor of the ST. Paul Dispatch and
the managers of the local nine. 1t is
also expected that special train will
be chartered for the occasion.

Help Comes High.

Farmers are paying as high as 81
day in addition to room, board and
washing, and still they cannot get
sufficient help. Hugh Jennings, head
of the state employment office in Min
Reapolisj said yesterday.
The 10 men a day on the average
which are now being furnished to the
farmers from Minneapolis are but a
drop in the bucket, Mr.. Jennings ex-
planned, and the peak of the demand
will not be reached until August 1.
The call for farm help has now
shifted from the Southwest to the
Northwest and the several hundred
men who were sent last month from
Minneapolis to Oklahoma and Kansas
are expected to come back here and
help out with the Northwest har-
vest according to Mr. Jennings.

Rams Herd is
Record Breaker
CHESTER WHITES FROM CLOVER
BLOOM FARM SWEEP THE REC
ORD AT N. DAKOTA FAIR.

Andrew P. Rams of Clover Bloom
Farm in ,Sundown Township was max
ing history for Redwood County last
week when his splendid herd of Big
Type Chester White hogs sweep the
boards at the North Dakota state fair
at Fargo. There were IA large herds
from four different states on exhibi-
tion which shows that it was clearly a
case of quality wins"
That Mr.. Rams has every reason to
feel elated over his success is further
attested by the fact that his herd
made the highest winnings that any
exhibitor in all breeds ever won at the
North Dakota state fair. Further
more Mr.. Rams grand champion boar
defeated Frank Kroppa's $2500 boar
which has been considered the best
boar in the state.
The victory record of the Chester
Whites from the Clover Bloom Farm
at the North Dakota fair is as fol-
lows:

Crops of North
west Are Good
SMALL GRAIN YIELD ABOVE
AVERAGE is DECISION AFTER
SURVEY; RUST DAMAGE
SLIGHT.

Prospective yields of small grain in
the northwest are distinctly above
the average for the last 10 years." ac-
cording to telegraphic survey made
by the Minneapolis Federal Reserve
bank, John H. Rich, federal reserve
agent, said today, in the July report
of business and crop conditions in the
ninth district.
Black rust exists in fields stretching
from the Mississippi river west to the
Missouri in South Dakota and to
Jamestown in North Dakota, the re-
port says. but adds that "actual dam
age disclosed to this date is not suf-
ficient to indicate large impairment
of corn and flax in the northwest is
exceptionally promising, according to
the results of the survey set forth in
the July report.
Rye harvesting was progressing in
Goodhue county was the first to re-
port threshing. Pipestone and Otter
tail counties followed.
Hail Damage Is General.
Recognizing the seriousness of the
present shortage in shipment of btu
minous coal to the Duluth Superior
docks, the report calls attention to the
fact that anthracite coal shipments
now are 92.2 per cent as great as they
were a year ago.
'If the improvement shown in June
over May continues" it says, there
will probably be no difficulty in secur-
ing anthracite coal for residence heat
ing purposes, but the problem of Sc
curing ibiturninous coal for industrial
use is serious.
Hail damage in practically every
part of the district, grasshepper trou-
BILE in North Dakota and such rust as
has appeared are the unfavorable crop
indications mentioned in the summary.
The report follows:
''The last 30s days has brought the
usual report of injury to the growing
crops, and rumors of extensive rust
damage havesbeen widely circulated. A
telegraphic survey of the entire Ninth
Federal Reserve district discloses some
losses but not much more than are
usually incident to grain production,
and from many points, brings reports
of prospective yields of small grains
that are distinctly above the average
for the last 10 years. A few sections
in southern Minnesota and South Da-
kota chiefly in areas of considerable
recent rainfall, have sustained definite
injury from black rust. Some damage
from this cause is reported from west
ern Minnesota and North Dakota, but
none from Montana.

An extra session of the legislature
may yet be necessary to complete the
soldier bonus payment this year. Hen
ry Rines, state treasurer is in favor
of this as it would enable the board
TO increase the interest rate on which
certificate of indebtedness can be sold.
The present rate is limited to five per
cent and the legislature, according to
Mr.. Rines, could be reconvened in spe-
cial session to lift this limit.
