GEE AND HAW.

A FELLAH had a pair of mules
"A That knew no laws and knew no
rules
But geed for haw and hawed for gee
And went contrary gener'ly.
The darnedest mules you eve see.
If both had geed when it vas haw,
While that amt just exactly law,
1t would of worked out purity good,
If once the thing was understood
And they done what you thought they
would.
But not these two. If old July,
When you yelled "gee," to gee would
try,
Old January. 'tother one,
Observin' what July had done,
Would start to hawin' on the run.
So gee and haw and haw and gee,
But never simultaneously,
They went through life, and kicked
more dirt
And lone less work and done more
hurt
Than two hyenies, I assert.
And I've seen folks just like them
mules,
Who wed, but never read the rules,
Who didn't know you had to e
The marriage collar fair and square
And pull together everywhere.
One can't have haw and one have gee:
To gee or haw you must agree
And her go forward, gee or haw,
Accordingly, without no jaw
And that's good sense, and that's good
law.

At the end of the five innings the
score stood 9 to 5 in favor OF the
danes. The teams were made up as
follows: Mesdames.Mhls, w. c. John
Montgomery, Markham, Paul John
son, Schwinden, Marshall, Clark
and J.. F. Cellar. The Girls" were
Mrs. Hess, and Misses Reeves, Gle
mence, Goldsmith, Hanson, Dietrich,
Solberg, Cook, Chapman.
The players on neither team had
very much chance to practice, but
there were some really good per-
formers on both sides. Notable
among these was Miss Goldsmith of
Oswego who could give pointers to
some of the male players on the
grounds.
Poplar 1, Wolf Point IA
The Poplar-Wolf Point game was
the headliner of the afternoon but
proven rather disappointing on ac-
count of the one-sided score. 1t was
supposed that Poplar had a strong
team, and perhaps they have, but
Monday was certainly an off day
with them. Danielson, who occupied
the box for the visitors proved to be
mystery at all for the local bat
swingers while Williams and Funk
held their opponents safe at all times
for a single score in the fourth.
jacob opened the engagement for
the Wolves with a three-base hit. Jen-
sen, LEM and Knorr were given
oasses, Stanley popped out, Trip
Walters was safe on an err
or, Busby made a third three-bagger.
This program should have Melted the
ocals a round half dozen of scores,
tut Busby was called out for cutting
and jacob was hit by a bat
ed ball as he ran in from third, so
hey got only four. In their part of
he first, Delger went out third to
Irst, Danielson was downed in the /;
anne way, Conlan got a hit and Her
was retired at first, Jensen get
ing the assist. ]
This first inning pretty well tells
he story of the game. The locals
atted the life out of Danielson, and
the visitors got quite a few
len on bases they could never con- 2
ect with the circuit but once when {
lree singles put Danielson across IN c
lie fourth inning. The Wolves got 4
S marks in the hit column, six of !
lem for extra bases. Bill jacob led q
lie gang with a triple and three
ngles. Poplar's blows totaled nine, a
l of them singles. Danielson got y
,ur strikeouts to seven for Williams ;,
Id Funk, Funk getting three in the Il
70 innings he pitched. The Wolves Il
ored 4 in the first, 2 in the third,
in the fourth, 2 in the fifth and one
the sixth.

AT VIDA

Among all the glowing crop reports
that have come in there was one COM
plant this week. Down Vida way
some of the farmers say they are
being put to much expense for mater
ial to build fences around their rye
and wheat fields higher. As it is the
heads of the grain hang out over the

top of the fences and the stock in
the adjoining pastures eat them. This
destroys the grain and is liable to
founder the greedy animals. By
splicing the posts and adding about
three more wires the farmers hope
to protect their crops against every
thing but girafs and the board of
trade.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"BLIGHTY."

THE number of slang words
i and phrases which have
slipped into the language by rea-
son of the Babel which resulted
when men of many nations gath
cred in the great melting pot of
the allied army is a long one,
but one Of the most typical is
ablighty"-the English COLO
Quail equivalent for home"
Prior to the commencement
of the recent great World war
the majority of the British army
was stationed in India and
much Of their slang consisted
of words and phrases adapted
from the language of the ma
tiyes. "Belaft" is a common In
dian name for England, and, as
if to add another parent to the
ancestral rec of "blighty," the
inhabitants of Hindustan speak
of "home" as "bhilati." The
similarity of the two express
sfons naturally impressed the
British soldier, and 1t was not
long before he corrupted them
into ''blighty"-using it as a
noun when he referred to his
native soil and as an adjective
when he wanted to express
something connected with his
return. A "blighty wound
therefore, meant an injury &C.
rious enough to necessitate be-
ing sent back home to England. ,
While the word failed to gain ,
great popularity among the /,
American soldiers, ii appeared /,
with considerable frequency In !
stories and reports from the /,
front and will doubtless be used :
far more widely than before. :

At noon there was plenty for the
celebrators to eat and drink. The
Civic League in cooperation with G.
F. Brown conducted an eating house
in the old First National Bank build
ing, the serving being done inside
while C. F. cooked the hamburger
and hot dogs at a stand in front. The
Bow Scouts and their scoutmaster,
Rev. Stone, had a cold drink and ice
cream stand in front of the post Of
fee. The League also had a stand
on the opposite side of the street.
Several concessions had been let out
for the vending of toys, trinkets and
dolls and the conducting of amuse-
ment games.
Liberty Was Packed
One of the most thoroughly appre-
ciated features of the day was the
vaudeville and picture show program
at the Liberty. The big theatre has
seldom been so packed, not a few be-
ing turned away without seats. The
Harold Lloyd comedy was good, just
funny and foolish enough to please
the holiday crowd. The vaudeville
features were all by local talent, with
the exception of Geo. Kelly, who with
Mrs. Kelly appeared in two black-face
sketches, and who were from Poplar.
There was a pretty folk dance by
Elida Smith and Ina Herman dress
ed in Dutch costume, a reading by
Gilbert Lintz, a pianologue by Mrs.
Harry Schoening, the Highland Fling
danced by five school girls in cos
tune, Elsie and Dorothy billiard, Isa-

Kentucky Philosophy, by Mrs.
G. E. Lintz and son Gilbert, and lit

charmingly done reading and song.
Every number was cleverly done and s
heartily applauded. AS a conclu- {

40 Fish, and Less than That if
They Weigh Five Pounds.

The streams are low all over the
county, and if present conditions con
tinue the cream of the trout fishing
will last just about three DAYS, Friday,
Saturday and Sunday, April Is. is and
II. The catch limit under the new law
is not over 40 trout, and not over five
pounds to a person per day. In other
words a fisherman can take 40 trout a
day if they do not weigh over five
pounds, therefore he must stop anyhow
when he has 40 fish. and before then
if his catch weighs five pounds. The
length limit is still six inches or over.
A large number of local fishermen are
planning to be out on the streams Fri
day, the 18th, for the opening of the
