MEET,
SKILLET CREEK
FARMERS CLUB

I
4 The last meeting Of the Skillet
Greek Farmers club was held at the
coy home of Mr.. and Mrs. E. c. Kun
lehman and was called to order by the
president, Mrs. A. Smith. The Sec
Rotary read the minutes of the pre-
yious meeting and gave the roll call.
About -sixty-five members and friends
of the club were present to enjoy a
program of pleasing entertainment
and instructive suggestions.
Throughout the evening Mrs G. w.
Snyder sang in her delightful way and
her songs, both new and old, elected
the ready applause they so fully de-
served.
Miss Grain told, in part, of her work
as County Nurse in Sank county. She
began with the schools and told of her
work among the children, of the eye,
ear, nose and throat defects found in.
the children and of how these defects
cause other trouble and hinder adj
vancement. She spoke of the school
lunches and of what children should
eat and emphasized this phase of her
subject with many splendid illustra-
ktions. She also told of several cases
.pf tuberculosis found in the county
and spoke of the clinic recently held
IN Baraboo,-in fact, all through her
talk she explained how present con-
ditions could be made better. There
were many other things Miss Grain
could have told about in connection
with her work but the time passed all
too quickly. All those present were
deeply interested in what she said
and all surely must agree that the
work of a county nurse is wonderful
work. 1t is to be hoped that people
everywhere are being brought to a
realization of how necessary it is, for
the welfare of the child, to have any
defects taken care of at once instead
of allowing the child to, grow up and
out-grow them" meanwhile, suffering
the consequence. IL
y After short visiting intermission,
the meeting was again called to order
and Miss L. Gattiker told of her recent
trip to Switzerland Miss Gattiker
has been there many times and was
able to- give a. very vivid comparison
of the conditions existing before and
since the war She found that even
in applying for transportation the
requirements were much more rigid
Miss Gattiker left the states in July
and arrived in Switzerland in August,
the, time when many of the luscious
fruits are ripe. After listening to her
descriptions and @ooking at the pic,
lures which she brought with her, one
could almost feel that he had been
there
A. rising vote of thanks was extend
ed to Mrs. Snyder, Miss Grain and
Mss Gattiker for making it possible
for, the club to have such very de-
lightful meeting.
After the Sunshine" collection had
been taken, Mrs. Smith told to whom
sunshine had been sent since the last
meeting and announced that the Miss
es Gattiker had invited the club to
meet with them in two weeks at their
home in Baraboo. A good program is
assured.

In the batting and fielding averages
published below the Athletics do not stand
quite as high as in the earlier part of the
season, when nearly every player on the
team was slapping the ball with regular
ity, but although their batting averages
suffered they seemed to get hits when nee
essary.
In fielding the boys showed some classy
work and saved their slab artist much
trouble on many occasions 1t was their
excellent work in the field that pulled
Adams through many a ticklish situation.
Yarker with four games leads the team
in batting, with Filion the legitimate
leader having played IL games. Austin
| led the team in fielding, accepting every
chance offered without a miscue.
While Il. Dunlevy does not stand at
: the top in batting and fielding, he leads
the team in extra base hits, being the only
player on the team to register a home run
His all-arOund work and his marked abil-
ity as a team leader have proved him to
, be valuable man and to him the team
owes a big share of its success:

WANT DAYLIGHT SAVING.
Many Cities Will Urge 1t in Congress for
Coming Year

BOSTON. Sept 27.-That the fourth
year of daylight saving for Massachusetts,
which. ended Sunday, has been an I'M
qualified success is the claim of the com
mittee on daylight saving of the Boston
Chamber of Commerce. In a statement
issued yesterday the committee says:
Although Massachusetts was the only
state to observe daylight saving this year
by state law, the practice has been carried
out by municipal ordinance in practically
all of the eastern states. Demand for n
uniform law for the eastern standard time
zone has arisen because of lack of uniform
ity among the many city ordinances.
"A recent survey shows that - New
England cities outside of Massachusetts
observed the plan in 1921. For instance,
i'm Rhode Island % per cent of the popula-
ton of the state practiced daylight saw
ing: in Connecticut more than 60 per
cent of the population practiced it in spite
of the state law prohibiting cities from
adopting daylight saving ordinances. In
New York and New Jersey daylight saw
ing was applied by 70 per cent of the pop
ulation
''Of the 152 cities of the eastern time
zone, with population of more than 25,000
ia cities are recorded as strongly in ia
vor of uniform eastern zone law, and are
prepared to work actively for its adoption
by congress"

The Big Leagues

The New York Yankees took a firm
grip on first place i'm the American
league pennant race yesterday when
they defeated the Indians 50 in the
final game of the series. This victory
gives New York a lead of two games,
with only five more to play; while the
Indians have only four games. Babe
Ruth was the hero of the day, his
two home runs and a double driving
in five of the eight New York runs.
All the Yanks have to do now is to
win three out of their five remaining
games to be the league champs; and
at the rate the Yankees are travelling
it ought to be pretty easy to get three
games from the Athletics who they
tackle for the last three games.
The Giants are even Surer of the
pennant i'm the National league, as
they have a lead of four full games
with only four to play. If they win
two of these four they are absolutely
sure of the pennant, even if the Pr
rates win all six of their remaining
games; and il Pittsburgh loses one
of her six games the Giants will only
have to win one of their four 10
cinch the pennant.
