Be Merciful to Your Horse
!. Load lightly, and drive slowly.
}. Stop in the shade if possible.

Be Merciful to Your Horse
I. Load lightly, and drive slowly.
2. Stop in the shade if possible.
3. A sponge on top Of the head,
or even a cloth, is good if kept wet.
If dry it is worse than nothing.
4. Water your horse as often as
possible. So long as horse is work
ing, water in SMALL QUANTITIES
will not hurt him. But let him drink
only few swallows If he is going to
stand still.
5. When he comes in after work,
sponge off the harness marks and
sweat, his eyes, his nose and mouth,
and the dock. Wash his feet but
NOT his legs.
6. If the thermometer is Is de-
grees or higher, wipe him all over
with DAMP SPONGE. using vinegar
water if possible. Do NOT wash the
horse at night.
z. Saturday night, give a bran
mash, lukewarm; and add a table,
spoon Of saltpetre.
8. Watch your horse. If he stops
sweating suddenly, or if he breathes
short and quick, or if his ears droop,
or if he stands with his legs braced
sideways, he is in danger of heat
or sun stroke and needs attention at
once.
9. If the horse is overcome by
heat, get him into the shade, remove
harness and bride, wash out his
mouth, sponge him all over, shower
his legs, and give him two ounces Of
aromatic spirits of ammonia, or two
ounces of sweet spirits Of nitre, in a
pint of water; or give him pint Of
coffee warm. Cool his head at once,
using cold water, or, if necessary,
chopped ice, wrapped in cloth.
10. If the horse is of his feed,
try him with two quarts of oats mixed
with bran, and little water; and add
little salt or sugar. Or give him
oatmeal Cruel or barley water to
drink.
II. Clean your horse AT NIGHT,
so that he can rest we'll, and clean
him THOROUGHLY. The salt dan
druff drying on his skin makes him
uncomfortable, and often produces
sores under the harness.
IL. Do not fail to water him at
night AFTER he has eaten his hay.
If you don't he will be thirsty all
night.
l3. If it is so. hot that the horse
sweats in the stable at night, TIE
HIM OUTSIDE, with bedding under
him. Unless he cools off during the
night, he cannot we'll stand the next
days heat.

OBITUARY

Mrs. ]. M. Streeper of Sawyer, N.
D., passed to the "Other Shore" on
Friday, June 18th, 1920 at $3.50 o'clock
p. m. Her death came very suddenly
and was a shock to the entire COM
munity.
Sadie Coder was born Oct. 31st,
1852 in the state of Pennsylvania. She
was married to J. M .Streeper Nov.
10Th, 1871. Mr.. and Mrs. Streeper
soon after came to Iowa where their
children were born and grown to
adult age with the exception Of Joe
and Clark. Mrs. Streeper was kind
and indulgent mother, model house,
wife, a kind and highly esteemed
neighbor, liked by a large circle Of
friends. Her constant ambition was
to add to the Joy and comfort Of
those around her.
She came to North Dakota about
1909 where she also lived thru her
earlier life. 1t was the writer's good
fortune to know her for nearly fifty
years. She leaves besides a host Of
friends and neighbors, husband,
three sons and two daughters, viz:
Stephen S., Joe, Clark all Of Sawyer,
Mrs. Charles Beadle of Forest City,
Iowa, and Mrs. Clyde L. Nelson Of
Seneca Falls, N. Y. Such lives, as

benefit derived from such lives and
their examples bring earth nearer
Heaven.

Doran, assistant to DR.. Arthur B.
Adams, assistant to Prohibition
Commissioner John Kramer, that
there Is nothing to the story that
bootleggers cut the bottoms from
bottles containing bonded goods
and refill them with an inferior
brand OF whiskey. He says that
story is one that will hot down"
but there is no more truth in Il
than the one told by Major A. v.
Dalrymple that they are shooting
booze across the Great Lakes in
torpedoes.
"The story was originated by a
bottle concern that blows it's glass
ware from the top instead Of tho
bottom" said Doran. THE bot
ties blown from the bottom have
a jagged disc at the bottom and
the story was started to dlsCredtt
the bottles. It is too much Of a
compliment to say bootlegger has
the skill to cut the bottom from
a bottle to refill 1t. Instead, he
would steam the label OF and put
the inferior contents in at the
neck"

Gallagher Is
 Reputed to Be
 Crack Pitcher

Louisville, Ky, April 22.-(speciaL)-
 Tom Gallagher, the young pitcher the Colonels are sending to the Birmingham club, is an exceptionally promising pros pect, and the Colonels parted with him only because of the number of efficient
 veterans on the staff
 Gallagher is 23 years old and a native of Rochster, N. Y. His first professional tryout was with Toronto of the Interna- tional League in 1917, under the famous Nap Lajoie. He did not finger long with
 Toronto and returned to the independent ranks The following year he was given a tryout by Buffalo and again failed.
 He returned to Buffalo last season, but
 before he got started he caught a cold in his pitching wing and was forced to return to his home. When he returned to the Bisons he found the pitching staff
 going so we'll that there was no room for him. He was turned over to Port land of the New England League, which club was managed by Heinie Wagner, ithe former Boston Red sox star
 With Portland, Gallagher won fifteen out of seventeen games pitched. Ths team, however hit the rocks before the season ended. Gallagher was sold to the Brantford club of the Michigtan- Ontario League. He won two games and lost one for Brantford. Near the close of the | season Tampa of the Florida League
 made request for hurler, and Gal lagher was farmed out to that club l While playing at St. Petersburg Fla, Gallagher attracted the attention of Dr. George c. Leachman the Louisville 1 clubs surgeon, who was sojourning there this winter. Dr. Leachman recommended ] Gallagher to Bill Neal, and the latter

 The Pels will meet the Cartons in their first series here this season.
 About four seconds before game time yesterday certain small-sized puffs in the western skies began to make themselves more conspicuous, and atwo seconds 1atcr 8 veritable cloudburst settled down upon R,ck- wood park. The case seemed hopeless, and ultimately it was
 To return to the Pels, as said before, the Birds will perform before the ad- hiring throng at Redwood this aft having as hard time as Molesworth, in the effort to keep his teams head above the water of the cellar posi- ton. The Birds are but one peg above the Barons.
 Fans we'll remember the last series between the Pels and the Barons. The encounters took place at Redwood park during the last lap of the 1919 season. For New Orleans a win meant a probable pennant. and a loss meant absolute defeat. The Barons pulled the trick, and when the Dopbmen crept away from Birmingham, the last vestige of pennant aspirations had been trampled in the dust.
 New Orleans will play here today and tomorrow, after which the Barons hit the road for ten games, opening in New Orleans Sunday.
 Pels will come to Birmingham to- day with a great tale of woe. The New Orleans lads have lost tlieir last two games. Birmingham split even with Mobile, winning one and losing one. The other two games were called off because of rain.

BLOW YOUR BAZOO

Extend to the come-lately bit of Birmingham hospitality in a rousing huzza, because if there is any person deserving of royal reception into our midst at this moment it Is twenty-four-ka ball twirler If Mis- ter. Gallagher can deliver the goods he will be the idol of our popuIace from Scratch Ankle to Bessemer and Chicken Run to Newspaper Row.
 Not only that, but 1t is the psy- chology of baseball if we have a pair Of safe twirlers in the box the others will swing into form and we'll begin to win games.
 Gallagher has been obtained by Pilot Molesworth upon some good Louisville recomm endation. He played ir the South Michigan League and is touted as conner. Molesworth picked him up in his nationwide quest for ball tossers and, like the rest of us, hopes for the best.
 And now. Mister Gallagher, gaze upon our Baronial fans. They're a bit disconcerted over the preliminaries, but they're better boosters than they are knockers. Give em something to crow over and afterward if there's anything around the old town you want, take it.
 Yesterday a linotype juggler made me say there would be no other games on the home diamond after today fThursday) until May S." He should have put it saturday" instead of 'to- day"
 Because if there's anybody in Jef- ferson county who doesn't za believe there's going to be a pair Nof ball games in the old town today and to- morrow, beat 1t out to Redwood this afternoon and gaze upon some garden excitement that will make a Sim Fein riot look like a Ladies Aid Society afternoon tea out in Vivian.

REAL FIGHTS TONIGHT There were a round dozen bouts last night, but the heavyweight. real ring combats will come in the eight matches scheduled for tonight. The B. A. C.. officials will throw in a sur lprise special for good measure at Fri day evenings performance.
 One of the surprises of last night was the lack of fighting ability upon the part of trio of Camp Gordon sol- diers. They simply couldn't stack up with the city boys who showed bet ter training through their gymnastic club membership.
 One would imagine that these lads from the soldier camps would be the sturdier battlers. It was splendid demonstration of the value of athletic club membership and the gymnasium training that goes with 1t for the city and school boy.
 15S-POUND CLASS
 In the 15S-pound class Wynn, Tu- lane. won his fight with Halpin, Camp Gordon, when the latter was unable to come back for the third round Wynn terminated both the first and second rounds by knock downs.
 Wynn exhibited a succession of rights and lefts that completely be- wildered the Camp Gordon battler.
 
 Dummy Harrington. B. A. C.. won a quick victory from Johns, Camp Gordon. The latter was unable to come back for the second round. Johns started off with a rush. and landing several hard rights and lefts to the body, scored in the first min ute of fighting. Burlington, for the time apparently swept off his feet rallied and jabbing with his left time and again finally crossed his right and ended the round with knock. down. Johns was unable to comf back.
 Semi- -Fina1s-Barrington in his sec ond bout of the evening won the de- cision from Lucas. Camp Gordon. Lu- cas landed several hard elbows in the first round. but slowed up in the final session, and Burlington scored heavily with hard rights and lefts. Lucas was on the defensive through out the last two rounds.
 108-POUND CLASS
 Harwell, B. A. C., won the decision over Schell, Y. M. G. C.. New Orleans. Harwell took the first and third rounds by, a shade. The second was even.
 Harwell was the more aggressive of
 
 telling blows. ScheI showed to best advantage in the second round, when he momentarily had Harwell on the defensive.
