for sufficient harvest help were good.
They were supplying help for haying
at So to So. SO per day. A practice
we found common was to advance the
fare, and this all Offices recommended
for quick service. When mans
fare is advanced, the office checks his
baggage direct to the farmer and no
one is sent whose baggage is not
worth more than the ticket. We rec

EMMONS COUNTY STOCK JUDO.
ING TEAM RETURNS FROM
STATE CONTEST WELL
PLEASED.

Sylvester Zernhelt of Hazelton,
Ernest Koon Of Tenvik, and Kenneth
Green of Westfeld, returned with
County Agent Sauer from Fargo Sat-
urday evening well satisfied will: their
trip. They visited the Agricultural
College, the Equity Cooperative Pack
ing Plant, lodged at the Y. M. C.
A., saw the city of Fargo, the State
Fair, and took part in the Staet Live
stock Judging Contest. The contest
took up all day Friday, the 10th. The
forenoon was spent in placing two
rings Of four in Zach of the follow
ing classes: Beef cattle, draft horses,
lard hogs, dairy cattle and dual pur-
pose sheep-hence forty animals in
all. Ten minutes were allowed for
each ring. Each class had separate
judges, and before these judges in
the afternoon the boys gave reasons
for their placings. The scoring was
so per cent on placing and so per cent
on reasons. The reasons required a
lot Of stockman's terms and slang that
many Of the boys were not familiar
with, and of course fell down on to-
tails no matter how good their plac-
ings were. The three high scoring
teams were Walsh, Bottineau and
Barnes counties. The Emmons coun-
ty team however, considering the lit
tie training they had acquitted them
selves creditably, and are not a bit
disappointed, but eager to 60 again.

POLLOCK CELEBRATES

Linton's ball team and the band
went to Pollock Tuesday to take part
in the Old Settlers Picnic there, and
a large number Of Linton people went
along.
The Pollock celebration proved to be
all that could be desired. The wealth.
er was ideal, large crowd was pres
ent, and the progam of entertainment
rwasr excellent. :
The speaking program, etc., was
staged about noon. The ball game
between Linton and Pollock took place
about 2:30, and the game was follow
ed by various kinds of races and con-
tests. The band played throughout
tahs day, and. added q concert in the
evening. dance completed the af-
fair.
The ball game proved to be an ex-
citing contest. Linton had new
pitcher, and Pollock also strength
ened up. The fight was neck
and neck all through the nine innings.
Linton managed to keep one lead un-
til the latter part of the game when
Pollock tied the score. The South
Dakota club won the game in the last
of the ninth, when long hit between
right and center field drove in the win
ming. run.
Linton had some excellent chances
to score, but lost them in couple
of fluke plays. With a man on first
and second, asclean drive to right cen
ter field meant;a sure score. The man
on second had rounded third, and was
but a few plates from home when the
ball was felded to second. Wood, rum
ming from first, had rounded second
and started for third. When, he saw
the ball had been fielded in time to
catch him at third, he tried to return
to second. He was tagged just a
second before the running going from
third crossed the plate. Thus the
score did not count much. On q
couple of5 occasions, bad mis-
q
takes in Judgment Of Linton players
lost a chance to win. 50 II y
Despite the loss Of the game by Lin
ton, it was one Of the fastest contests
in this part Of the country this season.
The crowd was held on the anxious
seat from tie time the first ball was
pitched until the final run crossed the
plate. The teams were evenly
matched, and they put up a fine ex-
hibition. The losing side had that
much to feel proud Of, at least. The
game was also free from rag chewing.
After the game, foot races. horse
races and various contests filled out
the afternoon.
DIR. Smiths band was going srrong,
and helped materially to make the day
q success.
"a The dance in the evening was we'll
attended, and an excellent dance floor
made, that part Of the days enter
tainment especially delightful.

CHURCH ARGUMENTS TRIVIAL.
Too Much Division Over Amount of
Water for Baptism, Mohler Asserts.

THE Cause of Present Divisions
Among Christians" was the subject of
a sermon at the Unitarian church
Sunday afternoon by the Rev. Mark
Mohler. Trivial reasons were pointed
out by the minister as causes of divi-
sion or the Christian church of today.
He declared that the causes for diff
ferences among the churches of today
were too narrow and insignificant for
attention OF the world when it is fac
ing other and much greater problems
The question of whether one.
should use much or little water in
baptizing has set off one great body of
believers and they deem their answer
to the question of such Importance
that they erect costly buildings, fur
nished with expensive equipment, next
door to church that differs only in
respect to the amount of water to be
used. Yet everyone admits that the
man who has had little water and the
man who has had much water are
equally good citizens and workers in
the kingdom OF God"
