ARE FLEECED
 BY BASEBALL CHAPTERS

CHICAGO, Nov. 9-The special grand jury which was detailed to the work of Investigating alleged baseball gratis, has completed it's labors and in it's final report says that while there is evidence to show that some games have been thrown, through the manipulation of gam blers, the practice of staging crooked games has not been general. And the investigators believe that the leaders of organized baseball can be relied upon to keep the game above suspicion hereafter.
 The report says that thousands of persons have been fleeced of many thousands of dollars each during the past season in baseball pools conducted by irresponsible persons. The jurymen obtained evidence of many refusals, on the part of the pool sharks, to pay all the prize money won by persons investing. Of S134,572 which should have gone to the winners of pools, the sharpers paid out only $2s,OO0 in prizes.

NATIONAL LEAGUE
 TELLS AMERICANS
 ID HASTEN ACTION

CHICAGO, Nov. 9-Rival base ball meetings are being held in this city and upon the outcome of the gatherings depends very much the future of organized baseball. Presi- dent Johnson and the owners of five American league clubs went in- to session yesterday at the same hotel where National league mag mates had gathered, with three of the minority American club owners. Clark Griffith, a Johnson adherent, accepted an invitation to attend the rival meeting for the purpose of discussing plans for the reorganiza- tion of the National committee, but up to this afternoon the rival fac tions had been unable to reach an agreement.
 The National leaguers have given the five American owners until four o'clock to come into the field and unless they vote to do so, it is the intention of the National magnate to go ahead with their plans for a new baseball commission and a twelve organization.

JUDGE FINGER ANNOUNCES.

In the regulareeolumn in this issue will be found the formal announce ment of H. W. Finger as a candidate for reelection to the office of County and Probate Judge.
 Judge Finger entered public life about six years ago, when elected sheriff. In holding that responsible position he made remarkable record for efficient service during the trying war times, at no time sparing himself either personal comfort or expense in doing his full duty.
 It was to be expected that such ser vice would bring it's own reward, and when Mir. Finger announced for Coun- ty Judge he was elected by good ma jority Since that time the people of Polk county have had an example of what constant attention to the duties of office mean. Judge Finger has been governed in his acts by both head and heart, and at no time fails to respond when 2 cal! comes to protect the coun- ty property and the taxpayers inter- psts.

DEMONSTRATING OWN FAILURE

From the Southwest American.
 Bolshevism in Russia is demonstra- ting it's own failure. In that respect it is much better than if it had been suppressed by force of arms. Tried out, and found to be unavoidable, as it is being found unavoidable, 1t may be forgotten; certainly it will be given up. But if it had been suppressed without trial there would be no way to sss' ste t0 Its advocates that such a form of government is not workable.
 So Russia, through her misery and suffering. is aiding the world to vast extent. Even the leaders of the soviet were mistaken in many of their views that they have had chance to demon sstrate those views.
 Whatever there is of good in bolshe- vism vii survive, if there is any good Tn It. It may have corrected in Russia greater evils than bolshevism itself m some instances If SO. then ths reform will be permanent. But fro,, The many reports coming ont of K country 1t is evident that Lenina snS

The Eastern Star women of our town had met at the Hall on Thursday evening to prepare lunch for supper they were giving. In the meantime Mrs. Gossett got impatient with the way Katie May was getting around at her work and the former called the latter an old maid. This started the ball to rolling. Katie for a fact is past 30.
 "Yes. and you are nothing but an old gossiper," Katie reioined.
 Then they hitched. When it was over the floor looked like hair dress CTS shop and a restaurant combined. It broke up the supper. Both were of prominent families.

NEWS FROM ANOTHER TOWN
By NJ. T. Eye. Mack Collins Primps-up.


 Mack Collins our big boyish looking old bachelor who is yard boss at the King Pines Lumber Co.'s plant says that he don't care now how he looks and wouldn't shave on Sunday morn ing to please the finest looking girl or woman living. But yesterday Wilks Smith found letter of his and brought it in the city barber shop where Mack was getting a shave and read it to the whole crowd.
 The letter was from beauty spe- cialist in Chicago and Mack was pay ing her BIO to take a small mole off his face and to straighten out a slightly crooked nose that had been broken few years before in drunk en fight. When Wilks finished read ing the letter the whole crowd roared. It developed that Mack had become deeply infatuated with a pretty young widow that had lately moved in town and he was taking no chances in los ing her.
