was treated to much needed rain
yesterday which, while not heavy,
was beneficial to corn and late pota-
toes, as well as fast drying pastures.
A fine heavy shower was reported
from Alden, twelve miles west of here.
Harvesting is nearly completed, the
small grain being practically all in
shocks, the dry weather of the past
few weeks aiding the farmers in this.
Threshing Is Just begun. Reports
from Manchester, nine miles north
west of here state that wheat, which
had been affected by rust, went eleven
bushels to the acre, the kernels not
very large but uniform size. Rye
threshed out twenty five bushels to
the acre. The finest hay crop in the
history of the county has been cut
this year.

CANDY TO CONTEST ELECTION?

The following special under a Sioux
Falls date line appeared in Tuesdays
Sioux City Journal:
1T is announced from an apparent
~ reliable source at Rapid City, the
home Of Congressman Harry L. Candy
democrat, that Mr.. Candy is likely to
institute contest against Judge
Williamson, OF Oacoma, republican,
who defeated him at the election this
month.
1T is said the contest. if instituted,
will be based on a section of the state
constitution, which provides that no
Judge of the supreme or circuit court
shall be elected to any other than a
judicial Office, or be eligible thereto,
during the term for which he was
elected such Judge. The section fur
ther provides that all votes cast for
them during such term for any elec-
tive Office except that of Judge Of the
supreme court. circuit court or county
court, given by the legislature or the
people, shall be void.
The republicans were aware Of
this provision during the campaign,
and expected Candy and his demo
cratic supporters to raise the question
but for some reason the democrats Of
the district did not raise the question
of Judge Williamscn's eligibility to
the office Of congressman.
Even should contest be instituted
the republicans have no doubt of the
outcome. Basing their belief that
Judge Williamson will be seated on
the fact that the house of representa-.
tives is, under the fedora constitution
its own Judge Of the election and elig-
iOility Of It's members. The further
fact that the committee Oh elections,
which would pass on the eligibility
of Judge Williamson, is composed OF
eight republicans and five democrats. !"

Mrs. Sadie Conway.

Sadie, beloved wife of Edward H.
Conway, was born rear Ironton, Mo-,
April 18th, 1896; was called from this
life to the eternal reward Tuesday,
August goth, 1920, at 1880 P. NJ, aged
twenty-five years, three months and
twenty nine days.
Mrs. Conway's death came very
sudden and very unexpected to fami-
~ and friends.
She and her husband and little
daughter came to Ironton from their
home in Cardin, Oklahoma, July Sd,
to visit with her sister, Mrs. Walter
Masterson, and, with Mr.. Conway's
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Al Conway.
After a short visit with his people and
his wife's people Mr.. Conway return
ed to his home in Oklahoma, leaving
his wife and little daughter to finish
their visit with other sisters in the
valley and her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
John Mayes, who are now making
their home in st. Louis.
While at her sisters, Mrs. Walter
Masterson, of near Ironton, she be-
came ill but her illness was not con-
sidered serious, and after a few days
there she left for st. Louis and went
to the home of her parents. The day
following her arrival in st. Louis she
went to the hospital where she was
advised that an operation would be
necessary, to which she submitted,
but from which she never recovered.
Mrs. Conway was a Christian, hav-
ing given her heart to her God some
eight years ago and united with the
Methodist church of this city. And to
her it was not death, but life more
abundantly,
She leaves a husband, a little daugh-
ter, three years old, a father and
mother, Mr.. aud Mrs. John Mayes,
three sisters, Mrs. Lena Left, of IRON
ton, Mrs. Walter Masterson, of near
Ironton, and Mrs. ]. 7. Ruff, of Edo
RADIO, Illinois, and five brothers, John,
Arch, George, Walter and Clarence,
together with a host of relatives and
friends to mourn her departure. s.

|RONTON AND FEDERAL BAT Til
10 innings.
dead Belt News.)


Lead Belt baseball fans got their
moneys worth last Sunday atthe Fed
eral park when Federal and Ironton
gave them 10 innings of the best ex-
hibition of the natl onal game ever
witnessed in this district. The score
when the game was called on account
of approaching darkness was IL.
Ironton scored their run in the first
inning and Federal theirs in the
fourth. Tom Glore was in the box for
Federal and Dune Robertson for IRON
ton. Both picchers went the entire
route and were delivering the pills at
the end of the long game with the
same accuracy and precision as in the
first inning. Both received superb
support from the men behind them.
Ironton was especially strong in the
infeld, grabbing every possible chance
and it was almost impossible to get
anything by them.
A dispute arose in the last inning
Ironton had two men on bases, NC
Cabe on first and Edgar on second
Robertson hit to Orion, the Federal
short stop. Edgar scored, but in do
ing so collided with Orten between
second and third. The run was not
allowed on account of this interior
ence. Considerable time was lost II
settling this dispute. The book o.
rules was produced, which provec
that Ironton who was contending thai
the run be allowed, was wrong. They
accepted the decision gracefully, bu'
as it was growing late, it was decided
to stop play and call the game a draw
Glore, for Federal, struck out q
men and allowed 6 hits; Robertson
for Ironton, struck out 10 and allowed
8 hits.
1t is estimated that between 15O'
and 1000 fans we're present. The lint

DesIoge Defeats Ironton.
(Desloge SUM-

The Desloge 'sscrub'' baseball team
took the fast aggregation from Iron
ton into camp last Sunday at the Ma
tional ball yard and gave them a neat
coat of 80 whitewash. 1t was one of
the best games cen here this season.
The outstanding feature of the con-
test was the pitching of "Cat" Forshee
for Desloge. He had everything on
his bill of fare and was serving them
over the platter in big league STYLE
He had the Ironton sluggers reaching
out after wide curves, and swinging
wild at the fast balls. Wade Prather,
at the receiving end of the battery,
mixed them up in a tantalizing man
ner. Good support was given in the
field, with only two or three errors
made on hard chances.
Only five hits for Desloge were
garnered off the deliveries of Will
liams and Tim McCabe pitching fol
Ironton. McCabe, formerly of big
league fame, plays the role of stat
first baseman for Ironton. He went
into the box to relieve southpaW
Williams when the Desloge batters
were beginning to unlimher theil
heavy guns.
After the gameat Desloge, the Iron
ton team went to Flat River and play
ed a Double herder in the form of a
undermining tie with Federal
After nineteen innings of very excit'
ing baseball, this game was calle'
with a 1 to / score. 1t was a pitchers
battle between Robertson for Ironton
and Glore, hurting for Federal. Gov
70, of Bonnie Terre, who played a
Desloge with the Desloge team, play
ed a great game for Ironton at thir'
base in the contest with Federal.
