st. Johnsbury Fairbanks A. A. and

was one of the usual fast games that
these teams put up. Sherbrooke won
by the score of to 0, and altho it
is part of the game and no kick is
registered by the Fairbanks outfit, it
must be noted that of the winners
three runs, none of them were earned
Fairbanks had Polli, new man in
the box, and he pitched good enough
ball to win any game, and had his
support been of the same class as his
mound work, he would certainly had
made Sherbrooke go the limit to win
for altho they nicked him for seven
hits, and of these two for extra
bases, they were so scattered that he
was never in danger from Sher-
brooke's batting.
Sherbrooke was strengthened by
the addition of three new men, Lyons

in the box, the latter proved puzzle
to the Vermont men, and his speed
proved effective, altho st. Johnsbury

the star for Sherbrooke with three
hits, one a two bagger, and accepting
six chances in the field.

THE SUGAR BEET
CROP IS LARGE
IOWA FIELDS IN GOOD CONDI-
TION IN SPITE OF BAD
START.

Britt, Ia, Aug. 19:-The sugar
beet crop in the vicinity of this city
has made wonderful progress this
month. During July when there was
so much rain, the fields got weedy
and many growers were discouraged
The change for the better indicates
that the crops hereabouts will be one
of the heaviest harvests in recent
years.
Most of the fields around here and
throughout the sugar beet territory
in northern Iowa are in excellent
condition, the ones that are poor be-
ing in that condition because of lack
of attention in July during the rainy
season.
John Sheets, of Hutchins, has the
largest beet acreage of any one farm
er. Four hundred of his thousand
acres of Hancock county land is in
sugar beets. One plot he has rented
to the Dickson brothers for $40 an
acre. and the indications are that the
renters will realize a good profit,
event at this rental, which is said to
be the largest ever paid in Iowa on a
farm of any size. Their farm con-
sists of 80 acres.

MADISON IS
GROWING UP
LAID ASIDE VILLAGE CLOTHES
FORTY YEARS AGO.

Forty years ago the sixth of this
month Madison left the village class
and became Incorporated under the
laws of the state. Today the city
stands marvel in contrast with that
early period when brick business
blocks, asphalt paving, $4,000 resi-
dences and a 100000 hospital were
unknown.
Madison now takes rank with the
more progressive cities of the. state,
and having entirely emerged from
the primitive, is rapidly reaching a
point in growth, beauty and spirit
that bids fair to out distance many
of her rivals. Several local factors
are bringing this city into great
prominence, namely: her excellent
schools, the state normal, the two
fine lakes close at hand and the pro-
gressiveness of her population. Madi-
son has a great future, one never
dreamed of by those former residents
who decided to take her out of the
village class.

TAKE BANDITS
AFTER.PURSU|T
THREE HOLDUP MEN SURREN-
DER FOLLOWING RUNNING
FIGHT.

Redfield, Aug. 19.-The capture of
three bandits near Worthwhile gave
rise to the false reports circulated in
some quarters of the state tha all
three had been killed in a running
fight with members of a posse.
The facts are that the three men
surrendered before any of them had
been wounded
The prisoners gave their names as
Jack Holmes, John Randell and w.
ID. Porter, and they were lodged in
the Sping county Jail by Sheriff G. E.
Wilhelm.
A party of about twelve harves-
ters were grouped around box car
only short distance from the heart
of Worthwhile, when three armed men
ordered hands up" and made a
thorough search of the party getting
about $500.
They then forced the men into a
box car and locked them i'm before
attempting getaway. Residents of
the city saw the complete staging of
the holdup and gave chase with shot
guns.
Several shots were fired i'm the run
of~a mile and a quarter before the
menr gave up and were taken back to
town. where the sheriff was called
and the bandits brought to the Red
field Jail.

WARNING Of
GASOLINE DANGER
IOWA STATE FIRE MARSHAL.
ADDRESSES DRY CLEANERS.

Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. 19.-In
an address to a convention of owners
and managers of dry cleaning estab-
lishments at Creston today State Fire
Marshal James A. Tracy told of the
dangers in the use of gasoline. He
stated that 80 deaths resulted in
Iowa last year from gasoline explo-
sions or fire due to gasoline.
Marshal Tracy explained that it is
the gas created when gasoline is per-
mitted to stand in an open vessel that
causes the explosions He said that
in dry cleaning establishments, cleo
trio motors in the same room where
gasoline was used were particularly
dangerous, as the spark from motor
might at any time touch off the gas,
which is bound to collect when gaso-
line is left exposed to the air.
He said explosions have been caus-
ed by a spark resulting when a nail
in the heel of the shoe came in con-
tact with a cement floor, touching a
small quantity of gas.
The carlessness of many people in
the use of gasoline is criminal, Mar
shall Tracy held, and since it has
come into such general use fatal ac-
cidents from gasoline explosions are
common. People give stick of dyn-
amite a wide berth, he said. but one
gallon of gasoline yaporized has an
explosive power equal TO S3 pounds
of dynamite.

To CHECK UP
DRAFT EVADERs
SOUTH DAKOTA FEDERAL AT
TORNEY FILING INFOR-
NATION.

Sioux Falls, Aug. 19.-In order to
prevent the expiration of the statute
of limitations, Assistant United
States District Attorney Jack Grigs-
by at the present time is filing in
formation against many alleged draft
evaders in South Dakota.
1t was explained that unless infor-
nation was filed against alleged vio-
lators of the selective service regula-
tions before three years. time elapse
from the date of the commission, no
action could be taken.
In most cases now where the infor-
nation is being filed, men, whom the
department of justice agents have
failed to locate, were concerned
chiefly.
Attorney Grigsby said that in a
majority of cases where selective
regulations were actually violated,
investigation revealed that it was not
done wilfully and therefore prosecu-
tions not pushed.
Just now thorough survey is be-
ing made by department of justice
agents and all ''floaters" who SO far
have successfully eluded authorities
may feel sure that sometime or other
they will be taken into custody tC
face the charges now being filed
against them.

Ranchers Will
Build Railroad

Pierre, Aug. 19.-Ranchers along
the line between Isabel and Camp
Crook are attempting through local
organizations to secure the issuance
of township bonds to build line of
railway from that terminal of the
c. M. & st. p. railway to the north
west corner of the state.
A preliminary survey was run
through that section of the country
at one time, but nothing further was
ever done in the line of a railway in
to that part of the state.
The northwest corner of South Da-
kota covered in Harding county, and
the largest part Of Meade, Butte and
Perkins counties, has an area ol
about 100 miles square without any
rail communication. and the proposed
line would cut through practically
the center of this territory.

WARN HUNTERS
WATCH OPENING
SPORTSMEN ADVISED TO POST
THEMSELVES ON DATES.

Sioux Falls, Aug. 19.-Sportsmen
of South Dakota are liable to get into
trouble if they accept some of the
statements made in various parts of
South Dakota concerning the date of
the opening of the hunting season
and do not post themselves on the
law, is the opinion of M. T. Brovan,
member of the board of directors of
the South Dakota Game and Fish
Protective association.
1t appears that some locals have
given the date for the opening of the
hunting season as September Is,
whereas the date fixed by law is Sep
tember 16, according to the provi-
sions of both the federal and state
laws.
A brief statement of the main fea-
lures of these laws expected to be of
lowing is furnished by the associa-
tion TO guide hunters this fall:
Season opens for chickens and
ducks on September 16, and the state
law seems to allow shooting between
daylight and dark, while the federal
before sunrise to sunset.
Bag limit is fixed at five chickens
or grouse and for ducks and other
aquatic fowls Except geese and
brant) at 25. Bag limit on geese and
brant is 8, under the federal law
Number in possession is limited to
Is chickens, grouse, partridge. plo-
yer, or any or all of the SAME COM
bined or so snipe, wild duck, geese,
brant, or any or all of the same COM
bined
Possession more than five days
after killing is prohibited.
Hunting without license is pro-
hibited. Resident small game Ii
cense, good to June 80 next, costs 81,
in addition to affidavit. Non-resi-
rent game bird license for same peri
cd costs SIS.
Violation of these provisions of the
state law is misdemeanor, punish
able by fine of $40 to $50, or Jail
not to exceed 80 days and revocation
Of license.
Violations of federal laws on this
subject carry more substantial re-
minders, in the form of fine of not
more than $500 or Imprisonment not
more than six months, or both
The sale of game is prohibited.
Season closes for chickens, grouse,
ETC., on Oct. Is, this being the last
day for hunting this class of birds,
and for waterfowl at sunset Decem-
ber 81.
Attention is especialled to the fact
that the socalled native" ducks
come within the provision of the
laws of the U. S.. and "sooners" are
liable to come up against a pretty
stiff proposition if caught. The To-
cal ducks are just as much migratory
birds as those which come down from
the north later on.
1t is suggested by Brovan that
sportsmen inform themselves fully in
regard to the provisions of both fed
eral and state game laws so there
many be no embarrassing situations
arise. "South Dakota is pretty well
supplied with game wardens of both
kinds" said Brovan, "and it be-
hooves the hunter to know what he
is doing. Enforcement officers are
cooperating with the association to
educate the public to the need of con-
servatiOn of game by the careful OBJ
servance of all laws on the subject
and 1t is suggested that this article
be clipped and carried with the hunt
ing license for guidance"

London, Aug. 19.-The Poles were
reported today to be desperately
pushing their newly won advantage
over the Russians in the race against
time. Balanced against continued
Polish successes along nearly 500
mile front was apparently well estab-
lished fact that President Pilsudski,
and General Weygand have employed
practically all their reserves while
the bolsheviki reserves are practical
ly untouched. In view of this situa-
tion military experts believed that
Polish victory must become even
more pronounced within the next few
days or conditions will be reversed
and the Reds will again assume the
offensive.
