That man from Iowa who made his
brag in last Sundays Tribune that he
had the largest corn in Iowa, feet, z
inches, was safe when he confined him
self to his own state. Last Sunday we
saw corn on Eddie Rockney's farm
that measured 10 feet. That beats Iowa
feet, inches. Mr.. Rockney also has
the finest field of tobacco we have seen
this season.
A shower was given for Mr.. Heiber-
line and Miss Martha Rockney at the
Rockney home last Sunday afternoon.
The attendance was large. A picnic
lunch was served to about 200. Mr..
Heiberline is one of the prOprietors of
the Cambridge creamery. Miss Rock
ney is highly respected young lady,
having been engaged in teaching sew
eral of the schools around her home as
we'll as in some of the western states.
They will be married some day this
week and after their wedding trip they
will commence housekeeping in Cam
bridge where they have bought beau
tiful home. They are very popular
with the people, and we wish them a
long and happy life. They received
many beautiful presents. But there is
more to this shower. After lunch a
game of ball was played between two
picked mines, and some game it was.
The umpires were DR.. Logan and I'm
dertaker Tellefson. 90 one dared to
dispute their decisions for fear they
would soon be dead and buried, There
were very few errors, and the game
rules; for instance, where the runner
was trying to steal second and was
caught between the bases the pitcher
could run up and catch the runner by
the hair and hold him until the second
baseman touched him with the ball.
There were many other important
changes in the rules DR.. Logan was
given his base on balls and made a
home run. DR.. Bilstad is No. first
baseman and a sure hitter; there is
only this fault with him-he only has
one speed and that is medium; if he
could be sent in to the factory and be
geared up so he could be put into high
in case of emergency he would make
his mark as ball player. Both sides
forgot to put in score keepers so we do
not know who made the most scores,
but do know that Marvin Smithback
and E. NJ. Starks made the most noise.
