Notes..

| Heinie Plaas and gentleman from
Lindstrom did the umpire chores and
had merry time of it throughout.
Feeling among the rival players and
| fans was running high and there were
several arguments on the field and in
the stands that wouldn't hook good in
print Heinie took occasion to tell
some of the visiting players a few
things about some of the finer points
of the game that they didn't know be-
fore.
The bunt game seems to be too
much for the Princetonians to- handle.
Every time this season that the op-
posing team has started to lay them
down the Princeton infield has cracked
and gone to pieces.
The outfild also had it's fingers in
the pie and is charged up with two
bad errors. Mark dropped one in the
sixth and Jack Schmidt was immedi-
ately sent out as relief and rescue
party. Another easy one foated out
to Jack the same inning and he did
just the same as the rest of the gang
was doing, droppedit.
Smith and Doane, the two old has
beens, refused to stampede with the
rest of the bunch, and both turned in
a. perfect fielding score. Doane also
led the home team in batting, getting
two hits and walk out of four trips
to the plate. He pulled down a hard
liner in the eighth that was labeled
for three bases.
A big delegation of Lindstrom root
ers drove across country to see thei1
favorites perform, and they sure got
their moneys worth. Princeton gave
them a bad scare in the start but this
just made it that much better wher
Lindstrom hit it's stride and the locals

haywire last Sunday and handed a
ball game over to Lindstrom by the
lopsided score Of 9 to 3. It was one
of the punkiest exhibitions that the
locals ever staged at the ball lot; and
practically the whole team participant
ed in the farce, each player trying to
Guido the other in this comedy of
errors. Nine fielding errors are
charged up to the Princeton gang and
most of them were costly ones at
that. Every time they booted or
missed the ball it meant more scores
for Lindstrom. And, by the way,
those Chisago county lads were not
slow to take advantage Of the mis-
plays of the Princetonians. They are
real base runners and, when the op-
posing side pulls boper, those birds
hop right to it and take extra bases.
On several occasions they worked
single and double steals while the
Princetonians stood there, holding the
ball, and watching them go. At times
it looked like a regular county fair
merry-go-round. The Lindstrom ma
chine wabbled little in the first few
rounds but after they got their sea-
legs under them they put up snappy
article Of ball. Wherever the ball
went they were right after it, and
when they once got hold of it they
carried their plays through and made
them count. The visitors played a
strong defensive game and, after the
big blow-up in the fourth frame, held
the Princetonians safe throughout the
balance of the game.
Halvorson went to the firing line for
the locals and got away to a good
start, striking out four Of the first six
batters to face him. Princeton put in
bid for the game right in the beA
| ginning With one down Doane past
ed out a double down the left field
foul line. Fischer walked and Berg
drove hot one down the third base
line. Doape reached the third station
safely, but Fish was forced out at
second on the play. In an attempt to
get Berg at second for the third out
Doane counted and Bob was safe at
the keystone station. Grow scored
Berg with clean single. No further
damage in this round. \
Princeton added one more in the
third. With one down Doane drew
free transportation to first, Fischer
hit hot one to the infeld and Doane
tore for third on the play. The throw
got away from the third bascman and
rolled to the fence. Under the ground
rules in force the runner was entitled
to home.
There had been nothing doing for
the visitors up to the fourth round, but
! they got enough in this frame to win
a half dozen ball games. Two dou-
bles, a single, pass, a fieldcr's choice
and about forty-nine errors netted
them a grand total of five runs, spill
ing the beans for Manke's crew all
over a forty-acre lot. Back they
came in the next round and added one
more, and then staged another rally
in the sixth that brought their total
up to nine. After this Princeton
played some real baseball, but the
pardon came too late and the final
count showed the summer resort out
fit on the long end of 9 to score

Normandin's Herd Free From Diseas,

Normandin's Herd Free From Disease.
Louis Normandin's herd of milking
Shorthorns, consisting of SO head, was
given thorough test for tuberculosis
and other diseases on Tuesday and
Wednesday by DR.. Whitcomb of the
state livestock and sanitary board.
The doctor failed to find trace of
tuberculosis or other disease in any
of the animals and gave RI. Norman
din clear bill of health for his herd
besides complimenting him on the re-
suit.
This is an excellent record for so
large a heard and it goes to show
that the cattle have been housed in
sanitary barns and we'll cared for.
People who purchased calves from Mr..
Normandin will now know that they
are entirely free from disease.

Cheering Service.

The services at the Congregational
church last Sunday evening were of
decidedly cheering and hopeful ma
ture. The young men who attended
the Older Boys Conference in Mil
waukee, had full charge and pre-
sented the big things heard and seen
at the Conference in a manner that
brought inspiration and uplift to the
large congregation that came out to
give them audience and encourage
ment. Each boy played his part like
a veteran and revealed abilities of a
high order. The hour was prophetic
as regards the Christian manhood
these boys were aiming to build in
the days on ahead. The whole serv-
ice was one of spiritual hope and en-
richment to yoarng and old alike.

Celebrate Feastday.

Last week Tuesday, Dec. 9Th, the
pupils of ST. Mary's graded school
and members of the congregation
celebrated the annual feastday of ST.
Nicholas, and also the names day of
their pastor. A splendid program
and movie picture was given in st.
Mary's Hall in honor of Father
Weyer. Following the entertain
ment Father Weyer gave the chill
dren their annual treat of candies,
etc. Early in the morning Father
Weyer brought the holy cummunion
to the homes of the aged sick of his
parish and then celebrated high
mass. The church was tastefully
decorated with beautiful ferns. The
feastday is always hailed with de-
light by the children. Many former
pupils class this day as one of the
most pleasant reminescence of their
childhood days. Father Weyer re-
ceiyed gifts, flowers, potted plants,
letters and many congratulations and
good wishes for happy returns of the
day.

Value of Printing" C.. A, Wackman,
Instructor in Educational Printing,
West intermediate School, Jackson,
Michigan, is the author. He consid-
ers the subject from two view points
the vocational and educational.
Printing he says, is a new subject in
the program Of studies in many
schools, and the same treatment is
accorded it by the conservatives as
was given to history, geography,
drawing. music, manual work in
wood and iron and to every other
new subject upon its Introduction
into schools. The little work reflects
credit upon Mr. Wackman as teacher
and writer.

HAYS "HUMANIZES" HIS
ANNUAL POSTAL REPORT
Postmaster General Reflects Optimism
in Discussing Deficif--WiId
West Tinqe

Washington, Dec. 9.-Refecting op-
timism even in the discussion of. a
deficit, Postmaster General Hays an
nual repo1t to congress is as human
lied" as the changes he has effected in
the postal service.
The adventure of the Mails car
ried in spite of difficulties over land
and sea, through the air and even by
dog train over the mountains of Alas
ka lis done full justice. There is even
"a "Wild West" 'tinge in the discussion
of the sensational mail robberies Of
the past year.
In revealing that the department is
now organizing an armed guard to
take the place ultimately of the
marines. who have been pressed into
service, Mr.. Hays declares:
1.-THE United States mail must be
protected down to the last postal
card, regardless of cost OR personal
sacrifice. 1t must be true that the
mails may ;be late, but they are never
lost"
How effective the precautions re-
Gently taken have been is shown by
the statement that while, during the
II months preceding the arming of
employees, mail robberies amounted
to more than $4,000, 900, the last three
months has witnessed thefts 'totaling
only $31S,869
The big total is largely made up, he
states of fnn amountS Sacs1rnd in tho
nobbery last October in lower Broad
way, New York, which he character
azes as "an expensive lesson" from
(which much has been learned.
The deficit Of the Post Office depart
ment for the year is given as $751;
517,6S6 Subtracting payments of in
creased compensation to the railroads,
which Postmaster General Hays con-
tends is not chargeable to this fiscal
year bsft to the three preceding ones,
the deficit SHOULD be reduced to $751;
1897 ,387," he states.

A WARING.

On last Saturday night at ,ahaut
ten o'clock while some boys were
congregated near the M. e. church a
shooting affair occurred which ought
to be warning against the carrying
of pistols and reyolyers. No very
serious injury resulted from the af-
fair and we withhold names. The
chief of police has something to say

gard to the matter

A GOOD RECORD.

Hon. T. J. Cunningham, State Oil
inspector, spent two days in Mineral
Point last week in the discharge Of
his official duties. He has a warm
spot in his heart for our old town,
which he first visited in 1872, as a
representative Of the Madison Demo
crat. The people here know him as
a man of character and high stand
ing, who brought honor to Wiscon-
sin by the efficient and conscientious
manner in which he filled the Office
of Secretary of State for two terms.
1t was indeed pleasure to again
grasp the hand of our long time
friend and welcome his visit last
week.

Has Done Lots of Good.
Rewey, Wis, Dec. 1, 1921

Rewey, Wis, Dec. /, 1921.
| am sorry that the farmers of Iowa
county are going to loose their Coun-
ty Agent for I think he has been a
faithful worker and done lots of
good. He have come when called on
and done all that he or any one else
could do. I think those that did not
profit from his advise and help is to
be blame. 1t is their own fault. We
know our taxes is high and will be
but the County Agents salary is a
very small part of it when divided
among the whole county.
A friend of mine from Marshfield
wrote me and told me to get rid of
our pure bred stock and my taxes
would not be so high. That is true
but I gave. him an example. I sold
four pure bred heifers 6 mo old for
100000. 1 sold two grades 9
months old for $40 or $35 each. The
taxes on a grade cow here is $3.25
and on a pure bred cow $3.50; which
cow pays the taxes. Our taxes is
$755.00 or 1926 per cwt on 11O
acres of land and 40 head Of stock
but we think the County Agent will
help pay it. Yours truly,
