WEABASE
BALL TEAM?

This is question that is being ask
ed by the fans of Valley City after
witnessing the comedy of errors which
was labeled base ball game last
night and was fought out on the
home diamond with Lisbon as the op-
posing team. The game for the first
three innings was comedy of errors
and a slugging match in which the Wis
itors proved to be the best sluggers.
Valley City used up few slab artists
in the game who would do better work
at the end of a pitchfork in our judg-
ment. We have been 10th to criticise
our team up to this time but if the
management wants to get any gate
receipts at future games they must
hand the blue envelops to at least half
hand the blue envelop to at least half
probation. Valley City is willing to
pay for baseball but they want base
ball and not the brand of stuff we
have been having. 1t is true that the
Calgary Black Sox, the Athletics of
Fargo and the Lisbon teams are first
class teams and put up a brand of ball
that's worth looking at, and might be
said to be hard competitors to go
against, at the same time the Valley
City team is a salaried team and a bet
ter brand of the national game is ex-
pected of them. We understand that
several new players arrived last night
and will be given tryout. We are
willing to give the management more
time to line up team but if we can
not get one in the next few days let
us cancel all other games and quit for
the season. It is better to do this
than to watch some Of these exhibi-
tions we have had lately. Lisbon
came here with a, fine team and they
played the game all the time. We
hate to tell Of the comedies perform
ed in yesterdays game but will quit
by saying that at the end of the game
the score was II to in favor of Lis
bon. We are hoping for better days
in our base ball aggregation from this
on.

FRANK PL0YHAR'S !.
FISHING TRIP

Senator Franz loyhar usually tells
the editor what = does when he goes
fishing but a fe 3 days ago he slipped
one over on us s regard to trip he
and A. S. ST. s dson, Earl Ployhal
and Mrs. Ploy and Mrs. Sigerson
took in Minnes e. some days ago. It
seems that the s en- folks went fishing
chaperoned by 2 senator. They had
good luck and < tn sack full of fish
and buoyant arts they started for
home but hat ot proceeded very far
before a ster boxing individual held
up his right semaphore, flashed a
game warden's badge and told them
to come to halt. They did. "Have
you caught any fish," asked the min
ion of the law. "I'll say we have" "
said the chesty senator. Then the
game warden proceeded to view the
remains. "You are within the law as
to number and size," he said, "but
have you read your license, if you have
one" We have one said Frank but
we have been too busy fishing to read
it. "That is very unfortunate" said
the game warden, "as the license says
you should have a coupon attached
to your fish, and in addition you are
required to have tag containing the
name of the consignee and consignor
as we'll as the kind of fish, their size,
age and the color Of their eyes, in or
der to comply with the Minnesota
law" "Well, we didn't know that"
said the now thoroughly aroused sena-
tor from the Fifteenth district. "Well,
let US go over town and see if we can
fix it up" said the game warden, and
the bunch went in. The justice Of the
peace was routed out and the case laid
before him for arbitration. BY this
time our senator was somewhat work.
ed up and ready to plead guilty to
most anything but breaking the law.
"Why," he said, I have been in busi-
ness in Valley City and Bismarck for
a great many years and l have never
been in the penitentiary or Jail and
have been a law abiding citizen. In
addition to that 81 have been in the
state legislature for sixteen years,
eight years in the house and eight in
the senate" By this time the justice
began to realize that he had per-
sonage of some Importance before
him and he stroked his silky whisk-
ers and sat up straight in his chair.
"Were you a non-par-tee-shun," he
asked. "Not by a damn sight," said
our senator as he put all his strength
behind the declaration. That settled
it. Buttoning up his face like clam,
the justice thoroughly paved over the
much worn Minnesota statute and
said "ten dollars apiece and cost"
Frank has decided after this that ne
will not be so ready to declare his po-
litics before any justice of the peace
while away from home fishing. !

HOPE TO GET MEN
INTO TRAINING

The federal board for vocational ed.
ucation, in order to offer training tc
all disabled ex-service men in the
state of North Dakota is sending a
squad of five men into the state for
the purpose of collecting necessary
evidence, making physical examina-
tions, rating eligibility and to place
men in training while in the state
when necessary evidence can be Sc
cured.
The board has made numerous ef-
forts to get in touch with men whose
cases have been passed upon, and who
have been found eligible for training
1t is believed that some of the men
desire to postpone training, or else
have lost interest, and of times the
boards is unable to locate the men.
The squad will be in Fargo on June
80, at p. m. to July l, at noon, and
all disabled ex-service men in Griggs
Steel, Traill, Barnes, Cass, Ransom
Sargent, and Richland counties are
asked to see them at that time and
place.
Among the large list of names sub
mitted by the squad, which they would
very much desire to see regarding vo-
cational training are: Leslie Sans
burn, Tower City; Wilfred A. Sauer

HAVE DARK HAIR
and LOOK YOUNG
NOBODY CAN TELL WHEN YOU
DARKEN GRAY, FADED HAIR
WITH SAGE TEA

Grandmother kept her hair beau
ufully darkened, glossy and attrac-
tive with a brew of Sage Tea and
,ulphur. Whenever her hair took
on that dull, faded or streaked APP
pearance, this simple mixture was
applied with wonderful effect. BY
asking at any drug store for
'Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get large bottle
of this old-time recipe, improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
all ready to use, at very little cost.
This simple mixture can be depend
ed upon to restore natural color
and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown drug
gist says everybody uses Wyeth' s
Sage and Sulphur Compound now
because it darkens so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied-it's so easy to use,
too. You simply dampen a comb or
soft brush and draw it through your
hair, taking one strand at a time.
BY morning the gray hair disap-
pears after another application or
two. it is restored to its natural
color and looks glossy, soft and
beautiful. advertisement

"The Alaskans at the Univef sity

Citizens of Alaska-We assure
you that our efforts are not wasted
in studying for Alaska and trying
to put the country before the public

What becomes of the educated
Alaskan?
LAS he leaves the gates of college
behind him does he turn his
thought and energy toward the de-
velopment of the land which gave
him the opportunity to gain some
higher education?
AT the universities of the Pacific
Coast we find a fair representation
Of Alaskan stuednts. They are all
working hard with the one great
desire of returning to Alaska
(Home), to find their places among
tie builders OF the leffllOfy. 1nelT
| chances rest upon the successful de-
velopment of the country, their OPP
rortunities lie in the hands of the
commercial interests of Alaska. The
studies taken up by our students are
varied so as to meet the various
nedes of Alaska.
Alaska, Your students look to
you for their future fields of de-
velopment and for opportunities to
put into active work the knowledge
which they have received Their
success will help bring success and
prosperity to Alaska through the
cooperation of the comercial inter

Decision to disincorporate the old
company was made at the annual
stockholders meeting in Great Falls
