more crimier and waiver.
The Grand Forks American, the
league newspaper published at Grand
Forks, N. D., has suspended publica-
ton, alleging shortage Of funds.
No paper was issued by the American
Monday. Inability to collect out
standing accounts or to obtain funds
from the notes issued by stockholders
is given as the reason for closing the
shop by General Manager John B..
Brown. However, from appearances
of the advertising which the sheet has
been carrying during the past few
months, it would appear that there
were no funds to collect. The paper
was born in September, 1918, and was
Incorporated for 100000 There are
several other league papers that are
shuffling along on mighty meagre
pickings and it would not be surpris-
ing if more of the hand picked news
papers succumbed to the inevitable.
The funniest part of it all is that the
league leaders told US that if we could
not exist without legal work we should
die-now they are experiencing some
of the very medicine they prescribed
for US. The legislature better repeal
the newspaper law entirely and put
the appointment of official newspapers
back into the hands of the county COM
missioners as before. Class legisla-
ton like the present newspaper bill
is unconstitutional if it were tried be-
fore an unbiased court.
The Courier News is harping away
about the old state auditing board
making report to the legislature and
says that board has no business to
make a report to that body. This is
the most inconsistent position that
could be taken. Every outgoing state
official has to make his report to the
governor or legislature and there is
nothing said about it being wrong.
But now that the state bank has been
examined by the banking board then
in power the league leaders are re-
sisting the report to be made. What
is all the trouble about any way. The
leaguers say that everything is all
right and that the bank has been well
managed and things are on the square.
If they are sincere in these staten ents
then what in the world are they buck
ing the examination of the bank and
of the examination report being
made to the proper body, the legisla-
ture. It seems to US that the siren
uous efforts being made by the leag:
uers is enough condemnation in itself
to establish in the minds Of all good
thinking citizens the fact that there is
something wrong with the state insti-
tutions or there would not be such a
big effort to cover up this examina-
ton. It spells guilt on the face of it

The American Legion, of Kansas,
last week invited Mr.. Townley and his
bunch to leave town. They had heard
of his disloyalty during the war and
did not feel like standing for him in
Kansas. On second sober thought:
however, the legion decided not to
press their disappearance order and
decided that it was better to fig hit that
bunch with propaganda offsetting the
socialistic doctrines that Townley and
his force are trying to place upon
Kansas. We think the legion has
taken the proper course. The way to
root out this socialism is to fight it
squarely from the stump. Get the re-
cord of North Dakota and present it
squarely to the farmers Of Kansas and
we feel that they will vote right Wnen
the time comes. All we can say to the
tax payers of Kansas is that if they
have this incubus fastened upon them
"God help Kansas.

Ben Houser Will
Display His Wares
One Week from TODAY

One week from today is the date of
the official opening of the baseball
season in Augusta. Ben Houser who
is to lead the local outfit has been in
the city the past 10 days and plans
are we'll nigh perfected.
Work has already started toward
putting the diamond and outfield in
shape. A second set of bleachers
for the third base side will be built
the coming week. Lumber for this
purpose has been donated and the
management now appeals to the car
penters and others to help push this
work to completion. Anyone who can
drive a nail is welcome but of course
the knights of the hammer and saw
are the ones needed most. The grand
stand is also going to be repaired
Only the weather man can foil the
grand opening on the 25th with a
band, mayor tossing the first ball,
etc, etc. The Pilgrims of Lewiston
will be the visiting team. Just one
week, fans.

Cony plans to issue a Statewide
challenge to meet any High school
in Maine for by such victory Cony
would be entitled to championship
claims.

today will be holly contested from the
moment that the umpire calls batter

A BIT ON THE

NAME VI ZULU
New York, June 17.-America and
England will clash for the eighth
time in play for the famous Inter

International polo cup play dates
back to 1856, when the Westminster
Polo Club, not now in existence, Of
fered trophy for competition be-
tween the nations The Nottingham
team, captained by the famous Irish
sportsman, John Watson, was invit-
ed to the United States to compete
for the trophy. The English team

Hitchcock, ST., father of the present
American No. .; r. Belmont and
w. A. Thorne. composed the badly

There was no further internation-

Americans who happened to be in
England. challenged and were I'M
successful. England won the only
match played, to 2 Two years

More Secrecy Stuff
Insisted Upon by
French Challenger

Manhasset. N. Y, June 17.-Still
more rigid rules were laid down to-
day in the camp of Georges Carpen-
tier. Trainer Gus Wilson announc-
ed that certain hours for work and
play had been set aside and that no
member of the camp would leave. his
place without special permission.
These restrictions he said, were con-
sidered necessary in view of the fact
that Carpenter would do a great deal
of training in secret during the rest
of the training period. All members
of the party will keep the same hours,
from Georges to the cook.
Rain prevented Carpenter from do
ing any heavy work today. He spent
several hours in his room reading and
attending to correspondence.
Georges read all of the American
newspapers that were taken to him.
He reads English quite we'll and asks
his secretary to translate only when
American slang phrases prove too
puzzling.
This morning he walked five miles
before heavy rain set in and spent
about half an hour in the afternoon
in the gymnasium and then amused
himself with his photograph.
There We're no visitors all day. He
remarked that it was the first real
rest he has had in three weeks. He
expects to work hard tomorrow if
the weather permits and will rest
again Sunday in preparation for a
sparring session Monday afternoon.
Charles Ledoux. French bantam
weight, will arrive at the camp next
week and will start working with
Georges Immediately, Trainer Wilson
said. Other sparring partners are
due to arrive Monday.
