But Didn't Effect The Ultimate Re-
suit OF Game As You WIN Fee BY
The Box Score.

American Falls played errorless
ball Sunday and took Oakley into camp
by the score of to 1 at the Natator
ium grounds. Lund pitched for the
locals and was only in danger in the
3rd inning when Oakley got three men
on with only one out. Oakley got
their only run in this inning on wild
pitch by Lund.
Catcher Stitt pulled Lund out of the
hole by chasing down a high fly and
doubling an Oakley runner off first.
Aside from this inning Lund pitched
steady ball tanning s Ookley men of
the % who faced him,
The batting honors of the day go to
Compton and Davis. The former got
triple and a double out of twice up,
made two runs and batted in one.
Davis double in the Fourth scoring
Compton and Evans put the game on
ice for the locals.
Umpire A Hustler.
Larson for Oakley pitched good
game but costly errors behind him
kept him in hot water most of the
game Woods of Rupert umpired and
besides being thoroughly efficient in
the game, kept the two teams speeded
up between innings.
The gate receipts were small, owing
to the stormy weather, but had all the

their amusement, expenses would have
been made. American Falls will play

Dist. rs in 1910 being the highest for
March since the Weather Bureau was
established in 1911 The normal tenn
perature for March is 31.5 degrees,
whereas 1921 it was 1873, nearly IL de-
grees higher than normal. The mean
maximum for March is 453, but 1871
saw it 90 up to 81. The mean low
is 30.T, the mean low for this March
being 800. These differences in mean
Temperatures are indeed quite remark
able. and it is question if they were
ever before equalled. 1t never got
below % degrees any day in March.
The minimum record for March was
3 above in 1872, while the next lowest
WIS , above in 1884. There were eight
DAYS of dense fog this March, thunder
storms on the Sd. 9th and 18th. There
WAS one day of high wind, IS miles
an hour on the 18th. 1t went TO 81

ALL A "SIMPLE MAN" KNEW
But His CHEEKY Greeting Caused Many
To Take More Hopeful View
Of Life.

Used to have man down our way
that some folks called "short" in his
upper story. We never looked for
him to say sensible thing or do one.
He couldn't if he tried with all his
might. He was the neighborhood fool,
says a writer in Farm Life.
But one thing that man did know,
and that was that God never made a
day that was not all right. Whether
it rained or showed or blew or shone,
it was a fine day with him. Meet
him anywhere and you would never
catch him without smile on his face
and CHEEKY, Mice day" on his
lips.
And this man who was short in the
upper story did more to make folks
feel good inside of them and inspire
them to look on the bright side Of
life than any other farmer in the
neighborhood. We all went on after
we had met him in the road with
warmer feeling in our hearts, think
ing: Nov, maybe it really is better
day than l had thought it was"
No man could have spoken a great
err truth than our good old friend Of
the CHEEKY smile and the optimistic
thought. Edward Everett, the great
orator, went far across the country
once to speak at the dedication of
great public institution. 1t was a
stormy day and people did not look
very happy as they stood around I'M
der their dripping umbrellas. Watch
ing the expression on their faces, Mr..
Everett said with a big smile all over
his face: This is a fine day. God
made it, and He never made q day that
was not just the best He could make
it,"
Sometimes it seems to US that things
in this old world of ours are pretty
badly mixed up these days. 1t is quite
fashionable to say: 1--WE never saw
anything like this" Things might be
q great deal worse with us than they
are. And everything is coming out
all right, but you and / must bring
them out right, or they never will be
right.
All our friend knew was that all the
days are simply fine. He could not
have known a greater thing.
