b Bismarck, N. D., July 24Miss
Bertha Palmer, who spent some hours
ten days ago finding an interpreter to
take with her to a school officers
meeting in Mcintosh county, found
when she got there that in the short
SPACE of a little more than a year
conditions had changed to such an ex-
tent that the interpreter was useless.
The last election had placed the
younger generation in charge Of the
affairs of the schools Of the county
and Of the officers present at this
meeing, but six were unable to un-
derstand Miss Palmer talking in the
Queens English.

Games Next Sunday
Linton at Hazelton
: Hague at Strasburg
Braddock at Napoleon

clHcn HFsCe ana second pOSlClOnS IN the
league race for Hazelton and Linton.
The two teams meet at Hazelton next
Sunday, and the game will decide
which will be first and which will be
second. With the exception of the
two postponed games to be played be-.
tween Braddock and Hague, there is
but one more league game for each
team. Strasburg plays Hague at
Strasburg next Sunday, and Brad
dock goes to Napoleon. Strasburg
seems to have the best chance for
third place, but either Hague or Brad
dock might place there by winRing
their three remaining games. Napoleon,
seems likely to hold their final cellar
position.
Linton and Hazelton, the league
leaders. held their uositions last Sum
day, when thaformer defeated Hague.
on their home grounds by score Of
10 to 8, and the latter came back from
Braddock with the long end Of s.
to-1 score.
The county seat team showed ter
rifle hitting streak last Sunday
against Tony Foryziak at Haguee.
Tony copped only. three strikeouts,
two of Junge and one off Angel.
Linton hitters were all going good
and it was hard day for the Hague
outfeld. The game was quite excit-
ing all the way. Hague frequently
filled the bases, but were seldom able
Ito deliver what hits meant runs. In
the eighth inning, Hague filed the
bases hefore man was out. One'
man then struck, one flew out and the
third man was forced at second base
ANGEL was little wild, and forced
a score in one inning by walk with
tie base full. However, Linton lad
a long lead from the start, and held
| it all the way. The team was lined
up different than ever. Mohn caught,
F. Petrie was back, at first. Junge was
cn third, and Tufsord, Becker and
Stewart made up the outfeld. Stew
art pulled the star catch Of the game,
v hen he copped short fly ball after;
long run. He threw himself SO far
forward to reach the ball that he
rolled clear over and came up stand
ing with the ball safely tucked in his
mitt. Two or three Of the Linton
hittels who have been in something
Of slump this year, showed their CID
batting eye and almost every part tfss
the batting list was able to stert a I
hitting bee. There was a large crowd
