authority to dub the best ball player
with the highly distinctive title of
"bone- head" when that ball player
fumbles or misjudges ball. To the
fan the ball player, especially the
home team man, must be the symbol
of all that is perfect and efficient, and
he should stop every ball, hit every
time at the bat and never let man
steal home. The trouble with most
ball players is that they know what
the fan expects of them and, getting
over anxious to give the fan a good
opinion of them, they get bit ner-
vous and tumble an easy fly once in a
while. They know that after every
tumble they must walk to the bench
with their head bowed in shame, be-
cause the fan is going to say some
harsh things. 1t costs him all of fifty
cents to see the game and he can't af-
ford to spend all that money to get
angry over players mistakes. He can
stay home and get angry at his wife
for nothing.-Devils Lake Journal.

The giving of stiff sentences to two
bootleggers at the court house yester-
day by Judge Englert has accustomed
much comment in all circles of life.
Those who favor law and order COM
mend the Judge for his courageous
stand in trying to break up gang of
law breakers that have been operating
arednd here for long time. The
editor of this paper wants to line up
behind the judge in his efforts. Judge
Englert, we think, has presided 'at this
term of court-his first one in Barnes
county in dignifed, impartial man.
ner, and every litigant before his
court has had a fair trial and square
deal. He has entered judgment on
those who have been convicted in a
quiet dispassionate manner, weighing
all the facts in the case as he sees them
and with desire to serve the people
and state squarely and fearlessly. We
admire the Judge for so doing, because
no public official gets any too much
support from the public in efforts to
better society along these lines. Or
dinarily these sentences imposed
would, perhaps, be somewhat severe.
But in the past bootleggers have been
given nonety day sentence. 60 up to

county can buy and have a very easy

erations. We say it needed some sort
Of an object lesson to teach these law
breakers that they cannot brazenly
flaunt justice in the face while Judge
Englert is on the bench. We know
that the great majority of the people
of the county and city are standing be-
hind any officer who is trying to do
justice to all the people. The city Of
ficials and the county officials are to
be commended for doing all they can
to put stop to this bootlegging bus
mess and instead of getting roasted
as they are by those who have tend

approval of the people for trying to

The Times-Record wants to say
word or two about the matter of re-
ceptacles for burning up waste paper
and rubbish by the business men of
the city. Some time ago the city
council passed resolution saying that
the burning Of paper must be stopped
in the iron receptacles so many have
been using and recently by somebody's
undue and uncalled for authority the
dray man was ordered to 60 around
and pick up these receptacles and
take them away without saying a
word to the owners or asking per-
mission to do so, which is an unwar-
ranted and uncalled for piece of Of
fciousness and effrontery on the part
of those who ordered the drayman to
do this-it was no fault of the dray-
mamie was told to do it and we pre-
sumo if this officious parsonage who
gave him authority to 30 onto private
property and steal private property
would have hanged himself if he had
been told to do so. It is true that
proper safeguards should be furnish
ed against fire, but there is absolutely
no reason why the officers of the fire
department. should get too oficious
! without license or law in this matter.
The Times-Record had safe and
strong receptacle for burning waste
paper. 1t is absolutely necessary that
we have something to take care of
this waste in. The other day this
drayman had loaded up this receptacle
! and was taking it away without any
authority. We caught him in the act
just as he had it loaded up and it is
not hard for you to guess what hap
| pened. That business was quickly
| taken from that dray and the dray-
man told to beat it from our private
! property. 1t was and is a lot Of non
sense. The resolution passed by the
| council is no good, there is no ordi-
nance regulating this matter and it
is about time the city council duly and
fairly took up the matter in reason
! able and sane manner. The council
should prescribe what is a reasonable
and safe container to take care of this
matter. 1t cannot expect people are
going to build great big brick struc-
lures on their premises at a great
price because some officer of the fire
department wants it done. They don't
have to stand for this any place else
and we are not going to stand for it
here until the city council passes an
ordinance properly defining what is a
proper container so that we can get
one and comply with it's ordinance, we
| are going to use the one we have.
! which is perfectly safe. If another at
| tempt is made to steal our personal
property somebody is going to have a
fight in court on their hands and right
soon. We want a square deal and not
so much play to the galleries by those
who do not have to pay out of their
own pockets heavy expense that they
are trying to tack on to others. We
suggest that the business men take
this matter up with the council for
adjustment and talk it over with a
view Of getting reasonable solution
Of the problem-but for the love of
/ Mike call off those fellows who are
using too much brief authority in the
wrong direction.

WHAT KEEPS LIVING COSTS UP

WHAT KEEPS LIVING COSTS UP
.lgoho-rjo-h-ghbe FiE UsMR SH
At the recent convention of retail
merchants in this city, one of the
speakers made the statement that liv-
ing costs had not decreased to exceed
10 per cent, while farmers had been
compelled to accept much greater
reduction in the prices they received
for their produce.
He was promptly called" by one
Of the merchants present, who insist
ed that much greater reductions had
taken place in groceries at least.
Possibly both views were more or
less correct. for it must be remember
ed that such items as coal and rent,
which play so big part in the family
budget, have not declined at all, 50
that even if the net reduction in liv-
ing costs did not exceed 10 percent it
might indicate much greater reduc-
tions than this in food costs.
A southern wholesale grocery house
has recently issued comparison OF
what could be purchased with $31.4O

Rent and fuel and taxes are the
three chief items in living costs which
have not been "dehated." It is estl-
mated that federal taxes of various
kinds account for about $3.50 in the
living budget of the average family:
Add the state, county, school, and
city taxes to this figure. and you gain
some appreciation of the intolerable
burden taxes are becoming. Until we
lower them, rents will be high, and
until railroad rates are lowered, fuel
and building materials can not be re-
duced by any great amount.

Press dispatches say that black rust
is prevalent in the crops of Nebraska.
Here's hoping that the reports are ex-
aggerated, but it will be just about
the luck Of the farmers of the country
to run up against this kind of propo-
sition. Last year North Dakota had a
great crop in sight until couple Of
weeks before harvest, then along came
the rust proposition, and you know
what happened. Putting this handi-
cap upon the crop and the fast tumb-
ling Of prices the farmers of the coun-
try received hard knock last year.
This year up to this time we have a
great outlook for a crop, but if that
rust proposition strikes us again then
North Dakota is going to get another
heavy financial blow. We hope that
rust proposition will not hit this state.

Townley is reported to be prominent
figure, and where he has twenty odd
thondsand acres of land that really be-
long to the people Of North Dakota,
has been appointed at Miami, Florida.
recently. This happened on the 26th
of May and the receiver was appoint
ed without the knowledge and consent
of Mr.. Waters and Mr.. Brinton who
are largely interested in that concern.
All these great industrial movements
where the leaders have been getting
the money-seem to be needing re-
ceivers these days. Townley is to
have a case before the Cass County
court shortly to tell what he knows
about the ownership of THIS sisal
