AREN'T WE MIXED?

The Darlington Independent otfelS
che following timely comment on Inc
vacation spirit: -.
s'The vacation bug is biting US all
These days, injecting US with the lazy
germ and making work and attentlnn
10 business nothing more than servlic
1rudgery.
"While vacations are largely a
matter of habit, efficiency people
cnake out rather strong case tna1
vacations are necessary; that the hu-
raan machine can be made to produCs
more in fifty weeks of effort than IN
5z vacationless weeks.
"To the people of a great part Of
ahe United States, especially those
southern and corn belt areas, the
summer vacation, no matter Wheic
spent, must come as delight. but
are we of North Dakota justified IN
leaving our delightful summer climate
to go to some place that does not
compare with home for cool nights
and bright, bracing days? We think
not. If North Dakota's weather is
ever fascinating, and whether we con-
fcss it or not, our climate has charm
that holds us all, the summer is the
time of all the year for US to Dc
5lome. We are almost mosquito proof,
hot mucky air is almost unknown,
rest at night is always sweet and re-
freshing.
eff ever North Dakotans are justi-
fied in leaving for vacations, plans
should be made to get to warmer
cline in the winter. There is no use
denying that our winters are long
and sometimes severe. After a few
months of steady, solid cold, it is
iikely to get ones nerves. A little
"trip then to where things are green
you'd be delight to be appreciated.
There would be justification for it..
OF course, we could and ought to get
more pleasure during our winter
months. but again habit intervenes
and we just hibernate.
"But in summer we have nothing to
gun away from. We are sure to find
a much less attractive climate unless
at would be that prevailing in the
mountains during the summer days.
owe doubt if any of the very at
saractive lakes in our neighbor state
of Minnesota can give one the rest
and comfort that could be obtained
right here at home if we would only
slacken up on our work bit and re-
lax for little rest, mental and physl-
cal Some day we are going to try it."

Easterner SURPRISED

Fred Hess, head mechanic for the
J. 1. Case Threshing Machine Co., of
Racine, Wisconsin, was in the city a
few days ago to inspect the steam
roller purchased by the city. The
roller was found to be working per-
fectly and doing remarkably good
work. Mr.. Hess was agreeably sur
prised at crop conditions after being
taken out thru the country by Marius
Erickson, local manager for the Case
people. When taken for a trip thru
the city and shown the parks, he was
simply astonished saying that he sup
posed this was a wild, raw western
city, filled with cowboys and bron-
cho busters, gun-men, Dead-Eye Dicks
and the like. To find that handsome
public buildings, churches and school
buildings adorned the thorofares was
too much for his comprehension. Mr..
Hess is a mechanic Of note and has
held the responsible position of chief
mechanic with his company for years.

o. X. ON Hitless Game

CHICAGO, May 2. - President Ban
johnson of the American League to-
day absolved Charles Robertson, Chi
cago White Sox pitcher, from any
suspicion of having used foreign sub
stance on the ball in pitching his no.
hit, no-run game against Detroit, at
Detroit, last Sunday.
There had been intimations that
Robertso on had tampered with the ball,
it being intimated that oil was used to
make the ball hop freakishlv.
To-day Umpire Nallin brought to
Chicago two Of the balls used in the
contest and submitted them to Presi-
dent Johnson. After an examination
it was announced that any oil on the
balls without doubt came from batting
the pellets against screen at the
rear of the home plate. which had
been oiled to prevent rust.
81 consider Robertson one of the
to-day" President Johnson said.
Robertson's record OF having pitched
a no-run, no-hit game, and having
allowed no opponent to reach f1rst
base. has been equaled but five times
in the history Of organized baseball
and only twice previously under
modern major league conditions
