Word Rookie Sticks

Rockies aren't what they used to
be.
The recruit was once supposed TO
be and sometimes was the persona
ication of hayseed and cabbage.
They furnished entertainment to
veterans by their crudeness and
things they didn't know about the
world as well as baseball.
Today practically all rockies are
we'll educated and well hammered.
Many have arrived before they hit
the big time in the knowledge of the
game.
This is due to the calibre of ball
played in the minors and to increas-
ing number of recruits from college
mines.
Most hayseeds blow out of big
league ball faster than they blew in.
Few of them come up from the
hills with bare feet.
Baseball Is a mans game now. II

mental caliber of those who play IL.
Yet the word rookie will always
stick.

LEAGUE PAPERS
ALL LOSE MONEY

The following is a statement taken
from the Jamestown Alert Of Aug. rs:
Following meeting of stockholders
of the Cavalier County Farmers Press,
local Nonpartisan League paper, on
Monday of this week, publication Of
the paper was suspended. The man
agement of the paper decided to dis
continue publication two weeks ago
but upon second thought continued
two weeks longer in order to retain
postal rights.
A survey of the situation it is said
finds the stockholders losers by some
$4,000. A proposition to buy the
plant was made by A. I. Koehmstadt.
t is reported, but the finances of
the firm were in such a condition
that adjustment of them looking for
ward to such a sale was impossible
on the spur of the moment.
Mismanagement Of the Fargo Cou-
rier-News prior to the taking over of
that paper by the present executive
committee of the Nonpartisan Lea
que is charged in statement by A.
A. Liederbach which appears in the
Thursday morning issue of the Cou-
audit of the league funds.
Commenting on this statement the
Grand Forks Herald says: ,-
1nasmuch as William Lemke was
president and treasurer of the Cou-
rier-News company up to the time
it was taken over by the present
committee, it would seem that Mr..
Liederbach is taking a wallop at the
present attorney general in his re-
marks.
"Mismanagement of the Courier
News has brought the paper into
the hole," says Mr.. Liederbach.
He fails to mention, however, that
it was after this mismanagement had
brought the paper into the hole that
it was so kindly turned over to the
farmers by the Norpartisan league
leaders.
The report is interesting in other
respects. 1t shows that on July 9 last
the total amount Of donations re-
ceived at league headquarters from
the Victory Fund drive, ETC., was
$49,955.51. The disbursements were
$44. $3.50, leaving a balance on
hand of $2,9Os.72.
Of the disbursements more than
$4,000 went to the Courier-News to
pay old bills, and to keep the paper
going.
/. Much of the remainder of the
disbursements went for the settle
ment of old bills from the former
campaigns. &l
"Since July 9, contributions re-
ceived for the Victory Fund total
$9,673.37. Some more old bills have
been paid" says Mr.. Liederbach.
How much of the balance remains
on hand and how many more old
bills remain to be paid are other
things whic ch Mr.. Liederbach doesn't
mention. It is known, however that
the Nonpartisan league still owes
obligations incurred more than a
year ago, and that efforts to obtain
settlement have proved vain.

SHARON MAN MEETS
TERRIBLEDEATH

One of the most terrible accidents
in the history Of our county occurred
early last Thursday morning at Sher-
brooke, when Erie Anderson, one of
Steele county's most prominent re-
tired farmers, met his death by being
scalded in such fearful manner that
death resulted in "a hours.
On Thursday morning, August 18th:
Erie Anderson had steamed up his
threshing engine and was ready to
move onto the field to start the sea-
sons run, when he noticed that
clean-out plug, with which he had
had considerable previous trouble was
leaking and he took a wrench and
tried to tighten it. He was sitting un-
der the boiler almost squarely in front
of the plug. which, when he applied
the wrench, stripped its threads and
came out. He was blown from under
the engine and scalded from head to
foto. He got to his feet and ran sew
eral hundred feet to his home and
medical attention was called immedi-
ately. Everything possible was done
to relieve his suffering and to save his
life, and for time after the first
twenty-four hours had passed, some
hope was had for his recovery. How
ever, complications developed and it
was thought best to get him to the
hospital and the attempt was made.
He was taken in an enclosed car to be
placed on the train at Pickert, but
passed away at 4:30 D. m. before ar
rival there.-Sharon Reporter. :.
