Farmers Of Sphinx county are taking
az 1ntage of the cooperative propo-
sition Of the merchants comprising
the Redfield corn exchange and are
trading their corn, for which they re-
ceive 35 cents in trade. If the farmer
desires no merchandise he is given
a credit slip for the corn he brings in
or he may leave it in the hands OF the
exchange and receive whatever the
corn brings when it is sold, awaiting
higher prices.
The only political fireworks that
has yet come to light is the challenge
of A. f. Lockhart, ~non-partisan candi-

whether or not the non-partisan league
should support Egan in the primary
and as usual Lockhart has some chain
lightning" ready to deliver. The de-
bate, if held, promises to be the most
interesting ever held in the state from
a spectacular standpoint of view.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN

Wash the foliage Of house plants
once in a while. Keep the plants clean
and free from dust and insects.
Geraniums and other soft wooded
plants may be rooted by placing the
cuttings in a glass of water in a warm
place. A little charcoal in the water
helps to keep it sweet. They should be
set in the sun.
A small farm well titled will give
better returns than a large acreage
poorly cared for. If more farmers
would learn this lesson, which the
gardener learned long ago, we would
have better farms and the owner would
likely have more ready money.

Cedar Rapids, Ia, July 4.-The
Islanders outhit the Bunnies here
yesterday In the opening game Of
the series and won easily by
acore of Z to 5. A feature Of the
game was the triple play staged by
Cedar Rapids in the first inning.
The bases were full and no one
( out when Swenson lined to Rye at
third base. Rye stepped on third,
doubling Finn and then tossed to
Potts at second base to get Belz
FOR the third out.
Gardner was In great form. The
Big Islander boxman allowed the
hard-hitting and somewhat chesty
Bunnies only three hits until the
eighth inning. Then the Speasmen
: staged a rally, netting three runs
on four singles.
The Islanders socked the ball
hard from the start. They pushed
"A runner across the platter in the
first frame in spite Of the sensa-
tional bit OF field and continued
their attack in the second by count

went scoreless for three innings,
and then scored two in each of the
sixth and seventh sessions. With
the game well in hand, Gardner
eased up perceptibly in the eighth,
permitting the Bunnies to escape a
.shutout.
--syAndy McEwan, who has been
sxhifted to the outfield by Manager
Councilman of the Islanders, led the
~-batting attack Of the visitors with
three hits In four times at bat, one
OF which was triple. Councilman

Tho Islanders are due to windup
their series with Cedar Rapids here
today, two games being carded for
the holiday. They will leave this
evening for Rock Island.
In the last week Manager Con-

Chicago, July 4.-Out of doors
America today was presented with
extraordinarily beautiful weather
for it's Fourth Of July celebration,
and as consequence the many
major sporting events scheduled
throughout the country came in for
increased attention.
The national pastime, with
morning and afternoon games in
the big league cities and in some
of the minors, shared interest with
pugilism and automobile racing in
the professional fields, while hun
dreds of thousands spent the day
participating in, or enjoying as
spectators many varieties of anna
teur contests.
Possibly Of chief interest today

BEING WORKED
LESS IN 1922
None Seems Likely to Reach 30
Victory Mark In the
Major Leagues.
BY JOHN b. FOSTER.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.
New York, July Sunless un-
usual stress is put upon some
pitcher to win extra games and
work over time toward the close
of the present session. it is not
very likely that any one of the
major leaguers will go into the 30
victory class. Grimes of Brooklyn
and Cooper of Pittsburgh were the
topnotchers in the National merry
go-round in 1921. and Mays. New
York, and Shocker. st, Louis, led
in the Americans. Grimes and
Cooper each won % games and
Mays and Shocker each won ~.
Mays was pushed because the Yam
KEGS wanted to win the champion
ship and Shocker went in overtime
because he wanted to help beat
them out of it although he was not
successful. Cooper was not built
for hard work and Grimes is. We're
the Brooklyns actually to come to
the point where they might be con-
sidered contenders in the pennant
fight in the National. both Grimes
and Ruether could stand a lot Of
overtime work as both are healthy
and strong. Ruethef now leads the
league in endurance and number of
victories and he is likely to con-
tinue leading because he can give
high class goods when he is dis
posed to do SO. Moran never should
have let him 60 from Cincinnati
and perhaps never would had he
been able to keep him.
Were It to come to pass that
Brooklyn might win the bunting, II
one or two pitchers could do the
work by getting in with not more
than three days rest, it would be
safe to stake = little something on
the endurance Of the 'Ruether-
Grimes combination.

Bats Of Ruth and Meusel and
Improved Pitching Puts Yanks
Back in Race; Babe Gets 18th

Chicago, July 4.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press. 1.-The big bats of
Babe Ruth and Bob Meusel. COM
bined with a brace by the pitching
staff, have put the Yankees back
in the thick of the American league
race, close on the heels Of the fly
ing st. Louis Browns. Only two
games separated the rivals today.
Babe kept up his slashing al
tack and slammed out his 18th
home run while the rest of muir

the Philadelphia Athletics for the
fifth straight time, IL to l. Bob
J Meusel was the real swatting hero,
with the unusual record of sin
gle, double, triple and homer in five
times at bat. Carl Mays under
hand shoots had the hard hitting
Mackmen bewildered at all times.
| The plants gained a notch on
each Of their principal rivals,
knocking Burleigh Grimes from the
box at the Polo grounds and win
ming from Brooklyn, 8 to 4, while
Cincinnati staged ninth inning
rally to defeat the st. Louis Cardi-
nails, 6 to 3.
Split for Hose.
Chicago and Detroit, running
neck and neck for third place in
the American, divided a hard
fought double bill, the Tigers TAX
ing the first, Z to G., in IA innings,
after tying the score in the ninth,
while the White Sox grabbed the
second in a thrilling finish. Harry
Heilmann clouted out his 18th
homer in the first game
Chief Moses Yellowhorse toma-
hawked the Chicago Cubs, 5 to 2,
with the aid Of sensational support
by his Pirate teammates.
The spiking of Caveney, short
stop of the Cincinnati Reds, proved
disastrous to the st. Louis Cardi-
mails, as kimmack, who replaced
the injured player, proved to be
the batting star of the game, driv-
ing out three hits in four times up
