REAL PAsTIME

In almost every well regulated
town these long summer days you
will find in some shady nook the good
old game Of horse shoes in progress
with the usual number of lovers Of
the Snort lined up along the curb,
whiting, joshing and manifesting. a
lively interest in the outcome of the
contest.
Though seine sport writer has
dubbed this good old game "barnyard
golf" it will always be remembered
and reverently referred to by the old
timers as "pitchin' horseshoes." As a
game it requires greater skill to loop
"a "ringer" over the "peg" at the cru
cial moment than it does for Babe
Ruth to slam homer out of the lot
with the bases full.
This ancient old pastime has bred
more genuine good fellowship and re-
spect for fairness and superior skill
into past and present generations
than some Of the more questionable
sports of today can ever evolve.
May we always retain the good old
game, and with the passing of the
unequaled experts Of famous pioneer
days may the recent crop from the
younger generations be sufficiently
large to keep the shoes changing
close around the peg.-Oakes Times.

REWARDED FOR FAITHFUL
WORK

1t is always pleasing to see a man
rewarded for faithful and efficient
work and it is especially so when
that man happens to be fellow
HOWnSman.
Will o. Doolittle, who has filled the
position of superintendent of the
Minot parks for many years, has won
national. recognition for the splendid
work which he has done in the devel-
opment of this city's park system and
Tor the record which he has made as
managing editor of Parks and Recre-
alton, the national publication Of the
American Institute of Park Execu-
aives and the American Park Society.
This publication has national clrcu-
aation, finding it's way to every park
superintendent in the United States
as well as in many of the public
libraries. For the past two or three
years, Mr.. Doolittle has been the
managing editor of this magazine,
giving it what attention he could,
burning the midnight oil so that his
work as park superintendent would
not suffer. Under his guidance, Parks
and Recreation has shown notable i'm
Drovement, month by month. The
Ward County Independent takes spe-
cl01 pflue IN the success OF CnlS maya
zine, inasmuch as it has been pub
fshed in our plant by Mr.. Doolittle
ever since he has been it's managing
editor.
Mr. Doolittle has resigned as sup
eerintendent of the Minot parks in
order that he may devote his entire
time to this magazine, and to his new
tposition as secretary-treasurer of the
a tn 0f wi Nv0N
,tives. His many friends will be
pleased to note that this quiet, un-
assuming capable citizen is to reside
in Minot for at least another year.
While he sewers his connection with
the Minot Parks, he will be able to
give his successor much valuable ad-
vice in carrying out certain work al
ready started.

the street corner exhorting at length
upon the ills of the coal industry is
himself guilty Of contributing to one
of the basic causes of discomfort IN
that industry.
While he complains of override
velopment, Of too many coal miners,
Of irregularity in employment which
makes for discomfort, Of prices, he
waits until winter necessity moves
him before laying in his own supply
of COAL ..-s..-. ....t.
1t is recognized by those who have
made a close study Of the coal in
dustry that one of the greivous ills of
the industry is the inability of opera
tors to keep mines going at fairly
even rate of production during the
entire year. This requires great
number of miners during the busy
season and idle miners during the
summer months, and causes rise and
fall Of prices.
And each individual can help cor
rect this situation if he will buy coal
early and store it in his bins.
There is an undoubted coal short
age facing the Northwest. The long
idleness in the bituminous fields, the
continuation of the strike in the an
thracite industry, the revival of busl-
ness and the limitations Of transport
tation means, according to those who
are in touch with conditions, that a
fraction of the usual amount Of coal
will be received at the Duluth and
Superior docks.
The fact of the situation ought to
prompt each Individual to lay in his
supply of coal as quickly as possible.
If not worried on his own account he
should recognize that if he provides
for his own needs now there will be
Just one less clamoring for coal this
winter when lack Of it may be serious
to the health and comfort of his COM
munity.

During recent years, specialists of

been received from all parts Of the

that the discovery Of this parasite on

If infestation is SO great that patch

crop under or utilize it for hay before

the aftermath left on the field should
be closely grazed, for which purpose
