NAPOLEON WHIPS srRAsBURc

Napoleon staged wonderful come
back Sunday and defeated the fast
Strasburg aggregation at Napoleon.
This was Strasburg's first defeat of
the season, and was handed to them
by a team that has been having hard
going during the season. However,
Houser and Myers, two college play
ers, are home and they greatly i'm
proved the Napoleon lineup. Myers
pitched the game. Strasburg fans
say it was wonderful game, and that
their team hit well. Hit after hit
landed where a Napoleon man was
ready to gobble the ball, they say.
Napoleon won the game to 1.
The result of the Strasburg- -Napol-
con game will tend to cause renewed
interest in the league race. To date
the games stand:

Average for the United States,

this average. Do you see why we
are not getting as many applications
from teachers Of these states as we
used to-? It looks as though North
Dakota had better begin raising its
own teachers and paying them enough
to keep them at home.
A number Of school officers have
been prompt in getting in their re-
r+s. There are number Of school
clerks who have not yet sent in a
copy on the poll book Of the June
7th election or the certificate of elec-
ton. We must have these.
We will again call your attention
to the time the various reports must
be in to this Office:
Teachers Retirement Fund Report
by July LIST.
Clerks Annual Report, Immediately
after the school board meeting of
July 18th.
Treasurer's Annual Report imme-
diately after the school board meeting
Of July 18th.
Census report must be taken be-
tween the 10th and Goth day of July,
and forwarded to this Office before
July 10th. Be sure to get all the
children.
Certificate of Selection of President
and Clerk must be in this Office imme-
diately after the July meeting.
Notice to County Auditor of Tax
Levy must be sent to him not later
than July goth.
In districts that are dividing try
and take the census in each proposed
new district separately.
If you will get your reports in on
time, we can get ours out to the state
when due. 1t is just as easy to do
things when they should be done, as
later on.
We expect to give a record Of the
vote at the June 7th school election
as soon as we receive all the poll
books. It might be of interest to
sc how many people fail to turn out
at the election of school officers.

Linton, North Dakota, Thursday, June %, 1921.

eld that Linton's left fielder had
caught the ball and made double
play. However, Pollock insisted on
holding their runner on first and that
the two scores counted. At that
point, the Linton management de-
manded that Pollock remove PARROT
and put in another umpire, or they
would refuse to play further. Pol
locks management answered that Lin
ton was welcome to quit, that Pollock
was ahead anyway. And thus the
game ended.
Linton had about three or four
fans and its team to stack up against
the Pollock umpire, management and
mob of Pollock fans in the intermit-
tent debates staged on the diamond /.
Pollock had the best Of the score. and
could certainly have played square,
but Parrot wasn't built that way
During the preliminaries and during
the game, Parrot seemed to appear
to be the manager Of the Pollock team
rather than one Of the unbiased UNI
pires. Finally, he tried to have the
Linton management believe that he
had called the left fielder decision
wrong to "even up" the Klein decision
on the foul-tip argument.
Sentiment among the Linton play
ers and those from here who saw the
game is to cut Pollock out of the
baseball list in future. There is no
sense in going to a town to receive
such treatment in matter of sport
Some Of the older heads on the Pol
lock team absolutely refused to mix
In the arguments, and the wife of
Polock's veteran player was among
the Pollock fans who afterwards in
formed the Lintonites that they had
been robbed by Parrot on the left
field decision.
The Linton team has been used to
taking all sorts Of stuff from umpires,
but Parrott, of Pollock, was the ret
tenest they have ever encountered.
The Pollock newspaper was evil
IDENTIFY so ashamed of the steal they
attempted to perpetrate that in a
write-up Of more than a column and
a half they make no mention of the
play they stole that ended the game.
The paper instead avoids the matter
by knocking the manager of the Lin
ton team because. he attempted to
prevent the Pollock umpire Of robbing
the team at every turn Of the road.

For every child that lives.
Montana spends ten times as much
per person for education as Mississ-
ippi. In North Dakota It cost $4O2
to educate each child who became six
in 1905 and finished high school in
1918. Was it worth it? 1t seems
to us $4O2 child is pretty small
figure when we consider that it brings
a child from an illiterate to an edu-
Gated being.
y In 1918 in six states the average
salary paid rural school teachers was
less than $500, and in eight others
less than $40O. The averages for the
United States was only $479. In 1918
there were tens Of thousands Of
teachers in the rural schools whose
salaries for the year were less than
the states and counties in which they
taught allowed fer feeding prisoners,
in the county jails for a year, and
there are many thousands of such in
these schools in 192O-21. The lowest
average rural teachers salary is I'M
North Carolina. There the average
is 1884 a year. California is higher
with an average og $1,012 year.
nty-three states pay more than
North Dakota. The average here is)
the same as in Wyoming and Iowa

Tender sew the Leonard Mitchell
he said his only regret was that he,
and not Mitchell. had not been Leon
ards opponent. Just how sincere this
regret was may not be said. A humble
opinion is that Benny was at the top
of his ability that night. He never
touched Mitchell that he did not hurt
either and the Milwaukeean went to
the floor as though he had been shot.
Mitchell Had Stage Fright.
Benny Leonard says that he took
one glance at Mitchell when he en-
tered the ring and saw that he had
stage fright. So he planned to set
for knockout, without indulging in
the usual warming-up sparring. Any
body who watched Mitchell closely
that night could see he was nervous.
Indeed. it struck the writer that he
was not altogether conscious of what
was going on about him. When Ten
dler and Jackson were introduced to
! the crowd and came up to shake
hands with him Mitchell took their
preferred fists without the slightest
sign that he recognized them. And
when Joe Humphreys presented the
Milwaukee boy to the fans he looked
d2zedly about. rose slightly from his
chair and then sat down.
There are those who think that il in
another fight Mitchell let Leonard take
the offensive. instead of doing practically
, all the rushing, he would have better
chance to win than he had under the
methods he employed.
Hofpc's Poor Sporting Spirit.
The sporting spirit which has char
acterized efforts to bring Willie Hoppe
and Edouard Horemans. the Belgian
billiard sharp. together in cham
pionship match has been about as
prominent as green flag in Ulster.
Horemans says he is ready to meet
Hoppe at either 1872 or 1871 balk-
line. winner take all, but Hoppe
| doesn't say what he thinks about
that. All he does say is that his
e ;hibition engagements will keep him
busy until May. At this time Hore-
mans plans to return to Belgium. So
the chances of a match between the
| two this year. at least. look mighty
dim.
