Ball Team at Stanl,ope.

Stanhope Enterprise: Will we have
a ball team this year? It looks now
like we would. There is quite lot
Of pretty good material that could be
whipped into shape. Stanhope for
many years has been noted for its
ball team, which has been able to hold
its own against the best amateur clubs
of the smaller towns, and we have
the "trimmins' for any ball game.
It's worth so cents any time to hear
Sloke East, Dave Morris and Nose
Wilson root. Can anything beat a ball
game? When the business men, the
kids, the old maids, the preachers and
the retired farmer, bless his dear old
soul, all gather on the ball lot, and
the umpire, who at any other time is
an honest man, is now just low down
hog thief Oh, what JOY to cuss him !!
And the opposing ball team is just a
bunch of cripples and pin heads of
which fact we frequently remind
them. And we sweat and holler and
groan and when We finally go home
the poison is all out of our system
and for 80 cents we have received
more benefit than could have been
gotten from any other source.

rubber and asphalt-the result of
several years of oiling. That tough
stuff wouldn't drag into the holes to
fill them up and it made hard job
get the surface Of the street smooth
enough to put oil on it. This week
the cOuncilmen have had George KnUd-
son and "Bill'' Mckay working on the
street-they wet it down, cut it up
with a disc, dragged it, shoveled dirt
into the holes, rolled it with heavy
roller, and have done every thinkable
thing in an effort to get the street in
good shape to oil. It's cinch they
are doing their very best to get the
street in good shape but it's a tough
nut to crack, and it doesn't make very
much difference how hard they try
nor what they do, the chances are
there will be plenty who will kick
good and proper when it's all over
with The town has received a ship
mcnt of an 500 gallon car of road oil
and will Oil practically the same
streets as last year.

Faith In Mascots.

1t is not uncommon for women in
Scotland to become unnerved over the
loss of mascot. A few weeks ago
in Il small town in the south of Scot
land, q party Of four sat playing
whist. During the whole of the first
rubber the hands dealt to one Of the
players were deplOrable. She got up
at intervals and turned the poker and
various other offending pieces of fur
niture, but in vain. Then she went
upstairs for "Pctcr," small silver
'fums up" She put him on the table
beside the cards that were being dealt
to her. And from that moment on
wards she and her partner scarcely
lost a trick! Probably it was only
coincidence, but it was just one Of
these particular condolences upon
which people of q certain type of mind
willingly would found universal
superstition, and which bring added
grist to the mascot inill Of marvellous
happenings.

jefferson Highway Changed.

Jewell Record: The officials of the
Jefferson highway last week gave out
an announcement of their final decis-
ion to change the route of that high
way between Des MOines and Nevada
to come by way of Ames instead of
through Cambridge as formerly. The
Jefferson is to follow the Wilson high
way from Des Moines to Ames, and
the Lincoln highway from Ames to
Nevada. The change eliminates many
hills and bad turns as we'll as several
railroad crossings; also gives primary
roads all the way from Des Moines to
Nevada, while none of the route
through Cambridge was on a primary
road.

Stafford on Boom.

StratfOrd Courier: In no small town
in this section of Iowa is there more
real building going on than there is
in Stratford. At the present time
there are five new homes in the course
of construction with the promise OF
several more and a mighty strong ru-
NOR that there will be fine brick
business block erected some time dur
ing the coming summer. Stratford
has really arrived. She is beyond the
swaddling infant stage for a good
many substantial reasons and the
town is forging ahead with Il dead
certainty. People are moving into
StratfOrd and are building fine sub
stantial residences of which the town
is truly proud. Property owners are
maintaining and keeping up their
places year after year. All because
they know that StratfOrd is not NOV
ing backward but forging ahead as
rapidly as possible. Stratford has
every modern Improvement one can
find in the city-paved streets, cleo
trio lights, sanitary and storm sewers
and miles of water mains. A home
erected here can have every modern
Improvement that one in any city can
have with the exception of gas for
cooking. And, as a matter of fact,
every home erected here is made mod
ern. Stratford is growing slowly but
surely and in the matter Of improve
ments outshines a good many towns
in Iowa which call themselves cities.
And in the matter of population it is
safe to predict that Stratford will be
more than thousand strong in popu-
lation when the next federal census is
taken.

Handing It to Somebody.

Stratford Courier: We have a good
automobile ordinance in Stratford
modelled after the state law yet day
after day there are fragrant violations
of the ordinance and there seems no
effort to stop the practice. Two ladies
reported at this office last week that
they had seen several cars speeding
and racing on some of the streets
where there were small children play
ing. 1t is common enough occurrence
to see Il car make Il turn in the middle
of main street and cut-outs are run
wide open. 1t all amounts to just this
that there are any number of people
IN this community who abide by the
motor vehicle ordinance while there
are others who violate it and get by
with it. An ordinance is alright in its
place and for everybody's safety should
be placed. not only on the ordinance
There is no use on earth of having
an ordinance that is not enforced and
while one cop cannot be everywhere
it should be possible to catch a few
of the violators. The council should
see to it that this ordinance is en-
forced. The Courier does not believe
in blue laws but it does believe in
enforcing ut least part of the or
dinances that endanger public safety.
