|. c. BASE BALL
CLUB TRAINING
Forty Candidates Have Reported for
the Team and Some Good Ma
terial Can be Expected for
This Year
FIRST GAME HERE
ON MAY FOURTH
The Season Will Open Away From
Home on April %, With Campion
College at Prairie du Chem

With spring weather here base ball
has now come into full swing, and
forty candidates have reported for
the Luther College team for this
season, and from all this material a
good team can be expected. There are
seven 81" men and two who were
utility men on last years team.
Among the new material are several
high school and academy stars. The
first practice game was held last
Saturday, and Coach Arthur Laudel
was very much pleased with the work
of the squad for the first day.
The battery work will be taken
care of by veterans, o. Sorlein doing
the receiving and A. Sorlein and
Capt. Ellingson dong the the twirl-
ing. These men are we'll known to
our base ball fans and need no fur
ther comment.
In the infield there will be some
lively competition. l.. Sorlein has
held a position in the infeld here for
two years and will undoubtedly play
either second. or third this year.
Hamlet Peterson, after winning his
VI" in 1917 enlisted in the army
and played in some fast company.
."Pete" is showing up well and will
undoubtedly hold position some
where on the infield. Other promis-
ing candidates are Carl Anderson
and Roy Storyick, subs last year,
VILLAS Lawston from Park Region
l. G. and Sy,fest orwall from Luth-
Ss,!a Normal THEE men will F,irslisss
an Interesting race.
The outfield has two veterans in
Scarvie and Bottolfson. Scarvie was
the champion batter on the famous
1919 team. Bottolfson won more
than one game with a timely hit.
Lawston is also an outfielder, and
due to his hitting ability will prove
a valuable man either in the out
field or infield. Another candidate is
Hoff, from Parkland, Wash. Acad-
emy. Other men are liable to show up
better after some practice.
A heavy schedule of thirteen
games has been arranged, and if the
weather man is willing some good
games can be expected. Whenever
st. Olaf and U. /. U. come here good
games are to be looked for, and
Judging from early reports this year
will be no exception. The Rockford
Maroons who furnished such an ex.
cellent contest last year will be here
again this season. Macalister and
Hamline who have not been in De-
corah for a number of years will put
in their appearance again in May
and the month promises to be chock
full OF base ball. Following is the
schedule:
April 2S-Campion at Prairie du

Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1920-03-31

With the federal suffrage amend
ment hanging in the balance, the
question has arisen whether Iowa
women can vote at once in the elec-
tion in municipalities upon ratifi-
cation by the thirty-sixth state. In
other words, could they vote, If
Delaware ratified, without waiting
for the proclamation of the secretary
OF state? Some of the Iowa members
who have looked into this say the
Iowa women can vote just as soon
as the thirty-sixth state ratif1es and
that the issue or nonissue of the pro-
clamation by the secretary of state
will not affect their rights. Accord
ing to this If Delaware ratifies be-
fore the Iowa municipal elections,
the women can vote therein.

1t is freely acknowledged at Wash
ington, that Senator Cummins'
achievement in securing the passage
of the railroad bill, was the
greatest legislative achievement of
the decade. His influence and detail
ed knowledge of the railroad ques-
tion are highly respected by official
Washington. Union labor leaders
have announced that they intend tn
defeat Senator Cummins because the
senator fathered the provision in the
railroad bill to forbid strikes. Most
of the people of Iowa think that Sen
ator Cummins ought to be reelected
for life because he had the courage
and foresight to urge such legisla-
tion, says the Knoxville Journal.

At the point on the improved high
way system in this county where the
Keyser Ridge road debouches into the
National Road four automobiles were
wrecked on Sunday, caused by the in
tense fog which hung over that sec
ton of the country almost the entire
day and well along in the night. At
the junction point of the roads a car
was entering from the south when a
much larger car going west on the
Pike struck it amidships and almost
totally wrecked both machines, One
bore a Pennsylvania license tag while
the other was from this State. At the
same point and within a few minutes
OF each other two cars failed to nego~
tlate the turn from the lateral road
INTO the National road and both piled
up against the fence bordering the
north side of the Pike. Fortunately
no one was seriously injured in any
of the mishaps, although all had very
narrow escapes.

THIS GRAIN TRULY GOLDEN"
How Discovery of Prolific Geld Field
Was Made in Mysore, State
of India.

One of the worlds most prolific gold
fields at the present time is in the
Kolar district (Mysore state) of India.
Discovery of it WIS made in a curious
way.
In prosperous years, when the gods
favored the valley with an ample har-
vest of rice, grains of gold were found
now and then on rice ears. This great
ly mystified the natives, who ascribed
the gold to supernatural powers.
What probably happened was that
these grains, derived from the gravelly
soil, lodged on the young rice plants
when they were being grown in nur-
series (for subsequent transportation
to the fields) and flooded at intervals
with water.
The strange occurrence, ut first
deemed supernatural, led TO the discov-
cry that the gravels of the valley were
rich in gold, brought down from the
mountains. Since then the kolar dis
trict has contributed largely to the
worlds supply of the yellow metal.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there 10 one preparation that
has been very Trcessful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root 10
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is 10
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for .
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.
