Open Home Season
With Victory Sunday
Sank Centre Defeats West Union in
Interesting Ball Game at Fair
Grounds Sunday

In the opening game of the season
on the local ball field Sank Centre
showed flashes Of having material
which can be moulded into a sure
enough base ball aggregation.
West Union was the opposing
team and they have also developed
since the two teams first met at
West Union earlier in the season.
Johnson was the local sharpshoot-
ler and he was ably supported be-
hind the bat by M. F. Dorothy. Sew
eral of the West Unionites held
Morris arm in contempt in the early
part of the game and attempted to
purloin second. This rather peeved
the old timer an his pegs were fast
and true nipping every man max
ing the attempt.
The hitting was light on both

The Speeders
By Kathleen Fox

John De Haven looked up from a voluminous Sunday newspaper spread out upon his well knee, drawn up in bed. The very professional nurse came into the room and held the door open. Two ladies entered and the nurse withdrew. The ladies were friends of MT. De Haven and had come being the chaperone of the other.
 Their identity, as he saw at once, was well known to him as it is to us. They were Mrs. Harvey Sheldon and Miss Barbara Kendall. The ladies had just motored down from Mrs, Beckley Hewitt's camp in the Adrondacks, bringing much cheer to the sick man, as his glad eyes indicated when he saw them.
 "This is simply great!" cried the man, reaching out his hands to them as they approached the bed on which he lay.
 Barbara was glad she had come. She had not thought her presence could give another, even John De Ha- ven, who loved her, that much real pleasure.
 She found herself suddenly alone with him. Mrs. Sheldon, having spok- en to "the poor, dear boy" as she called him, began an explanation of the room and pretended to take in- ventory of things that did not interest her in the least. For, when Mrs. liar vey Sheldon was not all sympathy, all generosity or all something else that was very fine for those who knew her, she was all tact from head to foot. Just now she was most tact full indeed, thought John De Haven, who once again held Barbara's hands in his and looked up into her eyes with gladness.
 The man lost no time at all. There

NEW HIGH GROUND
 FOR ALL OF THE
 NEW CROP M0NTS

New York, July 16.-Growing con- fidence in the general business out look and prospects for continued showers in the south sent the new crop months into new high ground for the movement in the cotton mar ket today. July was relatively quiet and easy, but later months closed at very nearly the best prices of the morning with October quoted at 34.72. The general market closed very steady at net decline of 40 points on July. while other months were IT to 43 points higher.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 3 to points on reports of showers in the belt. The market eased off right after the call with October selling at 34.45 and December at 32.80.
 The market soon turned firmer. October sold up to 34.77 and Decem- Der to 33.10, making net advances Of 27 to 32 points and in the case of De- cember, recovery of 225 points from the low level of week ago Friday. There was very little trading in July which declined to 41.10.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, July 17.-Bullish sen- timent increased in the cotton market today and prices were stronger al most from the opening.
 Highest prices came late in the day when the trading months were 33 to 48 points up and October was traded at 34.23. Closing prices were at net gains of 30 to 45 points.
 July was inactive. For short pe- riod after the opening the nearer months were rather easy and they dropped off to levels 2 to points un- der the close of yesterday but almost immediately ly recovered and advanced. March was the strongest month and rose to 31.43, closing at 31.40. In the early trading the rains in the belt were the main influence. The map was wet except in the extreme west ern sections of the cotton region.

Oldest Elevated
 Railroad Junked

Chicago, H., July 17.-The oldest electric road in the world, accord ing to local accounts, has recently been junked here, to make way for more modern methods. It was a freight line in the plant of Armour X Go. at the stock yards. Previous to its construction in 1892 steam ele- vated road had been tried out. New York City had started its first ele- vated road in 1S66-7. The first means of transportation on that line was cable. a
 The New York line ran until 1871 and then broke down financially. It resumed in 1876. Chicago later began building steam elevated road, construction starting in December 1889. On June 6, 1892, in good sea

She did not seem at all frightened at ease or he was in some very strange and very pleasant delirium which he hoped might last long time. It was wonderful thing, thought John DeHaven, to be brought down like this if it could bring glorious creature to ones bedside. And she had come, "The Beautiful Californ- an." For there she stood, as his eyes could see which could see nothing else. Meanwhile their friend, Mrs. Har- vey Sheldon, stood at the farther side of the room, discreetly looking out the window at view that no more interested her than if she had been looking straight at a blank wall. But Mrs. Sheldon, in love with her husband as he was in love with her, had woman's big heart. She want ed to give John De Haven his chance. and Barbara hers! She stayed at the window, looking out.
 All of which John De Haven did not know as regarded Mrs. Sheldon's kind intentions. He only knew she was at the window. He did not know how long she would stay. So he look ed at Barbara, holding her hands and asked his question.
 "Will you marry me?'
 The girls color came swiftly, then went, leaving her face almost white. Her hands which she had not with dfawn from his clasp, trembled lit tie as she stood there.
 Then she looked bravely at him and murmured her answer.
 q don't know," she said.
 John De Haven was ecstatic. She had not said no this time.

was an old, old question in his nina as he lay there. He wanted to ask it of "The Beautiful Californian
 "Will you marry me-" he said, quite as though he had never asked the question of her before. Then he look ed at her and smiled, smile moi e wan, the girl saw, as she regarded him. His face had become thinner. She could see lines in it, too, proof of the suffering he had undergone.
 "Will you marry me ?" he whispered as Mrs. Harvey Sheldon's tour of the room threatened to bring her near them.
 The girl did not take her eyes off his face now She looked steadily at him as though having discovered something that interested her might fly. She found heslf almost staring. And of course that would be a rude thing to do. So she shifted her glance from his face to their hands which were clasped. And then she smiled, filling John De Haven's soul and his world with more hope and happiness than he thought heaven ever could give him.
 For now, as he could understand, "The Beautiful Californian" was not offended as she had been that night at dinner when he first met her and asked her to marry him, and as she was later, riding to hounds with him and then running off with his question all unanswered
 He had pictured her often, fleeing from him like frightened deer over fence and ditch and stubble, going at her best speed with one main idea in her mind-to get away from him and his reiterated question.
 But today-ah, thank God for today, thought John De Haven. Why, to- day she was not running away at all.

Disappearance of
 Theatrical Magnate Mystifies Police

Toronto, July 17-The double dis appearance of Ambrose J. Small, mil lionaire theatrical man of this city, and his secretary, John Doughty, both well-known citizens of Toronto, has been one of the most mystifying cases with which the Canadian pol ice have had to deal. Small has been missing since December 2 and Dough- ty since December 28, last.
 The whole continent of America has been a field for search by de- tectives for trace of the missing men, and circulars describing MT. Small and offering rewards for the recov- cry of him, dead or alive, have been sent to almost every country in the civilized world.
 MT. Small had just put through a deal for the sale of his interests in q string of theaters in Canada at $1,- 75O,OOO to syndicate known as Trans Canada Theaters, Limited, and a few hours before his disappearance, on December 2, he had received a check for s1,0O0,O00 in connection with the sale. This check he de- posted in his bank. On that day he had had lunch with his wife down. town, and had promised her to be home to dinner in the evening. He had attended to some business late that afternoon and about o'clock started for home so far as is known. The last person known to have seen him was his favorite newsboy, from whom MT. Small bought the evening papers. The fact that MT. Small was miss ing was not made public until three or four weeks had elapsed. In the first week in January the first cir culars asking for information as to MT. Smalls whereabouts were sent out by the local police authorities, and reward of $500 was offered. A short time afterward the reward was increased to $5,000. Then on the first of June reward of S50,Q00 was offered by Mrs. Small for infor- nation regarding MT. Small's where abouts, if alive, and $15,Ooo for the recovery of the body, if dead.
 l The mystery of MT. Small's ab- sence was accentuated by the dis appearance of John Doughty, who had been his private secretary for many years. Doughty has not been seen or heard from, so far as the authorities are aware, since Decem- Der 28, 1919. In June, 1920, the dis covery was made that $150000 of Victory bonds were missing from the safety deposit vault where they had been placed by MT. Small, and tt was stated that Doughty had had ac- cess to the vault Thereupon circu- lars were issued offering S5,000 re- ward for the arrest of John Doughty on charge of having abducted Am prose Small, and S5,OOO for Doughty s arrest on charge of having stolen the missing Victory bonds.
 i By special Act of the Ontario i Legislature MT. Small was declared an "absentee," and trust corpora tion of Ottawa was appointed trustee of MT. Small's estate.
