The Baltimore Suns farccal one
game elimation series to decide the
baseball supremacy on the Eastern
Shore, and the team to represent the
Shore in the proposed series with the
winner of the Blue Ridge League is
in progress, and as u contemporary
remarks. "the contest goes merrily
on"
The Snow Hill team, with a record
of thiity victories and twelve defeats,
had, probably, the best title to cham
pionship honors, but was eliminated
from participation in the series be-
cause it is alleged that Drury, the
crack centre fielder, broke his con-
tract while playing organized base
ball. BE that as it may, it was well
known when the series was proposed,
and while plans were being formu
lated, that the teams on the Eastern
Shore were not playing what is term
ed organized baseball, and it was also
well known that Drury was playing
on the Snow Hill team. The Balti-
more Sun and the officials of the
Blue Ridge League practically die
tated the terms and rules under which
the Eastern Shore series was to be
played and showed u ruthless disre-
gard for the fairminded baseball
enthusiasts on the Shore. Every
thing was done in hurry-one game
was to decide a contender for cham
pionship honors-the result being that
schedules were disrupted, managers
confused, players dissatisfied, and
the fans bewildered by the hurried and
farcical turn of affairs.
Salisbury and st. Michaels refused
to participate in the one game elimi-
nation series, and at a meeting in the
Salisbury Chamber of Commerce, held
Friday evening of last week, the plan
was severly scored and heartily dis
approved.
With Salisbury, St. MichaelS and
Snow Hill out of the elimination SER
les, the battle narrowed down to Girls
field, Pocomoke, Princess Anne and
Cambridge. In the first game played,
Pocomoke defeated Crisfeld. 6 to 3,
last Saturday, and Crisfield immedi-
ately protested the game. claiming
that it had played under protest when
it learned that Salisbury and st. Mich
aels had dropped out, which left
Cambridge with nothing to do but
stack arms" and wait for the finals.
Crisfield was over-ruled. In the sec
ond encounter, played Monday, Prin-
cess Anne defeated Pocomoke, II to
II, and POcOmoke protested the game

The Soldier Relief Funds.

The new soldier relief bill when it
becomes a law, will provide about
$3.50. 900. 600 for lettering the condi.
ton of the soldiers. One of the most
pertinent inquiries made during its
discussion came from Representative
Cannon of Illinois
How much of that sum-" he inquir
ed "will 90 TO the soldier, and how
much of it will 80 to administration? ,
The reply that $1S,OOOOOO will be re-
CURED for administration and that all
the rest will go directly to improving
the condition of the soldiers is en-
couraging in view of the tremendous
scope of the work. But the query
was right to the~point, none the less.
"Uncle joe knows by long expert
ence that too often the sums voted by
congress for any reform result in the
establishment of deal of complicated
machinery and the provision of innum
cradle easy jobs for healthy constitu-
ents, and that by the time these bills
are paid the sum left for disburse-
ment in the original cause is sadly
reduced.
This condition arises not because
the men handling the proposition are
intrinsically dishonest but because
governmental business methods have
been lamentably poor in the past. But
the country is awaking to this evil
There is a demand for greater ehici-
ency in the administration Of public
funds and considerable promise that
the efficiency will be forthcoming.
Thus far, although tremendous
Sums have been voted and spent, the
result in actual relief to the service
man has been small and unworthy Of
this nation. If the new bill which
provides for a smplifcation of meth
DDS and a unifcation Of Offices re.
suits in more help for the soldiers
for every dollar appropriated there
is every reason for congratulatpn.

made passable throughout their entire
length. In many cases, because or the
opposition of certain classes to the sur.
render of their land for drainage pur.
poses, it has been necessary for the
commissions engineers to lay out en-
tirely new roadways. This opposition
on the part Of certain farmers has
caused the commission much trouble
already,
But new rights-of-way are always
found, and it will not be long before
the farmer who blocked the original
right-of-way by his stubbornness will
see the folly Of his ways, when the
new road, in some cases removed long
distances from the original right-of-
way, is completed and affords his more
fortunate neighbors quicker and easier
means of transit.

GREAT BODYBUILDING YEAR

South Dakota this year is expend-
ing several million dollars in the work
of improving highways. The work IS
being done under the direction of the
state highway commission, at the head
of which is Gov. w. H. McMaster.
South Dakota is not ready for hard
surfaced roads. At present the state
highway commission is engaged in
building many miles of %graveled high
ways great, broad arteries which will
connect the principal cities Of the
western section of the state with the
principal cities of the east, thus link
ing up the smaller towns and making
more practical than ever long truck
hauls, which will enable the producer
to materially increase his own welfare
by Offering a cheap competition to
railroad freights.
1t is true that a single mile of hard
paved road is to be constructed in
South Dakota this year. But it is to
be more in the nature of an expert
ment, or rather an effort to demon
s5rate to the taxpayers, the ones who
are paying for the roads, that hard
surfaced roads are superior to the
best Of ~graveled highways.
Later, perhaps, hard surfaced roads
will replace the grayeled roads and
it is safe to say that the construction
Of those roads, which are now in the
making, is being carried on with the
idea that eventually they may be
hard surfaced. This question, how
ever, will develop the more rapidly
when once the state is operating at
capacity its own s~tate-owned 3,O0O,-
600 cement plant.
The highway commission is press
ing forward the work Of building
~graveled roads, roads such as the state
of South Dakota has never seen be,
fore. Like yellow ribbons these new
roads are beginning to stretch their
FsmOoth broad miles over the state, rem.
dering communication a pleasure
Hardly a week has gone by for the
past several months but that new bids
have been opened and new contracts
awarded for additional miles of high
ways.
Generally speaking, in the pas
year approximately 800 miles of high.
way have been constructed at an es
timated cost of $~2,377,617. This brings
the average mile cost considerably
higher than it will show up on a board

On that basis the average mile o.
highway will cost in the neighborhood
of slightly in excess Of $4,000. o.
course, there are miles that Will rur
considerably higher than this figure
especially where there is much rock
blasting to be done.
In some sections OF the state, how

ters Of fills and drainage. And these
problems are being met and solved

PIONEER CHURCH RAzED

To many of the old residents of
Brookings, the razing Of the old Bap-
fist church, which now stands on the
school grounds, calls to mind many
vivid memories of that historic struc-
ture. Early in the summer of 1882
when Bookings was but a struggling
village the Baptist congregation felt
the need Of a place of worship and
commenced the construction of the
church. The late Geo. A. Warehouse,
by whose beQuest the fine new Bap-
fist church was built, was largely in
strumental in the construction of this
first Baptist church in Brookings. The
building was completed early IN the
fall Of 1882 and the first services were
held in the new church in September.
Just twenty years later, in 1902, the
congregation had outgrown the old
church and the building was enlarged
and remodeled extensively at a cost
Of $4,000. A pipe organ. which we
believe was the first in the city. was
installed at this time. The interior
was entirely refinished with quarter
sawed golden oak. Elegant pews with
cushions were among the improve
ments. An interior decorator from
Iowa, who was an artist in his line,
was secured to decorate the remodeled
interior which upon completion was
reputed to be one. Of the most beau.
tiful church interiors In the state.
Use OF this church was discontinued
In 1917 when work on the new brick
church was commenced. after hous
