MASON TIMES OVERFLOW
Mason Wins Again


In a game in which the score run
up around dozen on both sides the
strong Mason team defeated the
Grandview aggregation of ball play
ers o nthe Mason grounds last Sun
day afternoon. The score was ID
to IL. The Grandview boys came
up with blood in their eyes and con-
fidence sticking out all over them,
but they returned home minus both
and with feeling that the Mason
boys can hold up their reputation of
being almost invincible. Mason has
played thirteen games this season,
losing but two, and naturally the
boys are feeling as "cocky" as a
bantam game rooster, and who can
blame them. Ii
The feature fthe Sunday game
was the smuggling by both sides, Ma
son having the better of this, get
ting three two baggers, while the
Grandview boys chalked up three
base hit to their credit. Fergie
and Samuelson were the battery for
Mason and they held the boys from
down he line down, while Grand
view tried out two pitchers in an
effort to curb the home team from
their long drives, the battery being
Van Patter and Wallin and Gilstead.
Grandyiew started the scoring in
the very first inning when three men
crossed the home plate and it was
not until the 9Th inning that the Ma
son boys secured the lead and then
the big balloon went up and the grand
finale came in the 7th when Mason
shot many men around the bases.
The fans fairly went wild and the
boys from Grandview became bewil-
cred and the end was in sight.
Grandyiew tried hard to even scores
in the remaining innings but without
avail an dthe game ended with the
score 13 to IL. Come again boys
and see if you can do better next
time.
Mason sure has good ball team
and they have been trimming every
thing in sight. They are entitled to
a lot more support then they have
been getting. Lets pull for the team
and encourage them. They are de-
serving of the support of ALL

the crops are above the average to

BURIED WITH THEIR HUSBAND
Wives of Members Of the 6arau Tribe
Of the Congo Are Inter-. With
the Corpse.

The Barua tribe in the o dis
trlct Of Africa have number Of
strange and horrible customs, but Of
them all their burial customs are the
most terrible. When man dies a
large grave is dug The corpse and
his wives-these may be anywhere
from two to twenty-are escorted to
the hole with wild music and the in
terested attendance Of the entire tribe,
The chief wife Is thrust into the hole,
and the corpse is then lowered. The
second wife follows. The dead mans
relatives then proceed to break the
arms and legs Of the two wives 50
they cannot get out of the hole. The
head of the corpse Is placed in the lap
of the head wife, and the feet in the
lap of the second wife.
The rest Of the wives are then thrust
into the hole, their limbs broken, and
they are forced to sit in a circle about
the corpse and its human supporters.
The priest chants a few words. and
everyone falls to with rude shovels,
dishing earth into the hole. They ney-
er stop until the grave is full and the
corpse and the living wives buried far
under the earth. The bowls Of the
wives with their broken limbs and fear
Of the terrible death are drowned by
the banging Of drums and the yells of
the delighted tribe

The hint that William Howard Taft
would be made Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court in the event of Mr..
Whites resignation is broadened by
the logic and wisdom which would lie
behind such a selection. Mr. Taft has
always been iudicially ambitious His
legal training and his experience on the
bench have equipped him for a notable
career in the law. There are many who
think that though the American people
gave Mr.. Taft the highest honor within
their gift in 1908, he should have pre-
ferred the seclusion of the Supreme
bench Mr. Taft was not-is not--a
prc-emment executive. He is a pre-
eminent lawyer

The so-called emergency tariff bill,
which Mr.. Wilson vetoed, is to be
revived and pushed through Con-
gress. with the assurance of President
Hardings approval. But that ortho-
dox Republican newspaper the New
York Tribune, confesses in its Wash
ington correspondence that "some Of
the Republican leaders are virtually In
a panic because of President Harding's
insistence. The simple fact is
that there is scarcely a member Of Con
gress who down in his heart does not
regard the so-called emergency tariff
as political bumcombe of the worst
sort"
Political buncombe it is indeed, and
a fine opinion the Republican leaders
must have of agricultural intelligence
if they think they can put this cheap
sort of political trickery over The
American farmer is not quite such a
Ounce as the Republican leaders appar-
emily believe him.
In the conference report on the bin
that Mr.. Wilson vetoed the tariff was
taken off of hides so that the big pack
ers with plants in South America could
send hides without tariff to the shoe
manufacturers, who could then keep
the price down to nothing on Amcri-
can hides and remain amply protected
on their finished product The emcr-
gency tariff makers put tariff on cat
tie on the hoof, when there is no cattle
imported, except for breeding pur-
poses They put a tariff on wool Cor
six months) yet it is claimed there IS
enough wool now to last ten years
They put tariff on sugar, which will
result in the farmer along with every
body else having to pay war prices
again foF this necessity Of life
These are fair specimens Of the
"protection" the farmers will enjoy un
der this new fake emergency tariff
bill, which a Republican newspaper de-
nounces as political buncombc of TN,
worst sort" Is this the best the new
administration can do for agriculture

The late John Burroughs was a man
of quiet and rather shy personality lie
did not crave the llmeligb' and while
he had number Of staunch friends,
his public utteranccs were infrequcnt
and his list of acquaintance quite Inn
tied for one of such unsought promi-
nence. Nevertheless, John Burroughs
unknown friends were host, for his
books were read by multitude, and
the influence Of his life, his researches

a certain Middle West newspaper
boasts that to produce the news print
consumed IL It's average Sunday cdi-
ton 81 acres of timber are cut do@n.
Multiply that by the hundreds of Sun
day newspapers of similar bulk that
are printed in this country and you
will have some conception Of the terri
bic waste of natural resources that is
going on all the time. 1t ought to be
stopped The padded Sunday news
paper is a nuisance. 1t is filed with
stuff that serves only as a vehicle 30
carry advertising, and that could web
be dispensed with, with no loss to the
public. We are not opposed to Sun
day newspapers, but we object to the
unrestricted slaughter of our fast-ds-
appearing forests without any compen-
sating advantages. If the average Sun
day newspaper were cut down to one
fourth It's present size the timber sup
ply would be conserved and the read
ing public would not be deprived of
anything worth preserving Three
fourths of the contents of the average
Sunday newspaper is slush, bunk and
driyel, and it can he well dispensed
with.

Weird and Savage Rites INDUCED In

One of the queer religious sects Of
the world is the ChristS or KhlystS Of
Russia. They hold their meetings in
their churches with hundreds of men,
women and children attending. After
prayers and hymns that last until
midnight they begin a wild dance amid
sobs and groaus, After this con-
tinues for while they abandon their
garments and put on white robes and
white stockings. Candles are lighted,
and a new dance begins that consists
of apldly revolving, the men to the
right, the women to the left.
In a short time a sort Of madness
falls upon them They leap, scream,
beat themselves and each other, in
duIge in wild laughter and cries, and
then begin to tear off the garments
with shouts of 1T is coming, the Holy
Spirit is comingw They begin TO go
about on all tours, riding on one an
others backs, rolling about on the
floor, biting and scratching one an

and dash about until they fall ey-
hausted. BY dawn the church floor
is covered with naked men, women
