WELDON WINS FAST GAME

The fast Oswego base ball squad
headed by their famous Indian pitcher
Bearskin and accompanied by a large
crowd OF their supporters autoed out
to the Weldon country Sunday after
noon to cross bats with the Weldon
ball tossers, who have proven them
selves worthy opponents for conten-
ding honors- The game was called at
three o'clock, and proved to be one of
the most exciting games ever staged
on the Weldon diamond Chief Bear
skin pitched wonderful ball but lack
ed support at critical times, while
Weldons famed slab artist seemed to
have everything in his terrific twist
ers, that made even his Indian OPP
ponent turn pale as time and time
again he cut the air with his vicious
war club in the hopes of catching the
kissing sphere, it was anybodies game
until about the seventh inning when
Weldon players tightened and played
superb ball until the end which finally
netted them the game. Umpires Tay-
lor and Brietbach did good work
Next Sunday afternoon Weldon viii
play Hamblin at Weldon.

TOnSi| And
AdenOid Clinic
Circle June25
Free Clinic to be Conducted Here
Starting June 25th. Over Hun
drea Patients Expected

beginning Monday, June 25th, there
will be tree Clinic held at Circle for
McCone County children having bad
tonsils and adenoids, DIR. Handbige in
cnarge.
1T will be remembered that Mrs.
Crockett, nurse from the Tubercu-
iosis Association, visited the Schools
Of McCone County last fall, for the
purpose OF examining the children.
She reported something like 200 hun
dred children who needed attention.
OF course it will be impossible to
take care OF that number at this time,
but it is hoped that half of this num-
ber can be operated ON now, and then
to hold another Clinic before opening
of schools in the fall
We are asking parents who bring
children to bring with them the fol-
lowing articles:
One small granite wash dish, one
blanket, one pillow and pillow case,
one sheet and plenty of clean rags for
the children to use in place of hand
kerchiefs.
All parents will be sent notice of
the day on which to bring their chill
dren, as it would be impossible to take
care of all at one time.
Arrangements will be made for all
children for food and sleeping. Per-
sons who bring children will be oblig-
ed to care for themselves.

his alertness, still being as ac-
tive on legislative flors as any of the

HOME FOR AGED
WOMEN WITHOUT
DOUBT NECESSARY

That there is a need for a home
for aged women in WaterVille is EN-.
phasized by the fact that applications
are being received in large numbers
and when such a home> does finally
open, there will be a long waiting
list already on hand. Although not
much publicity has been given TO the
flair, an application for the posi-
ton Of matron has also been receiv-
ed by q woman who has had several
and wants to return to Maine, which
is her native state.
Waterville is one Of the most flour
ishing cities in the State today and
the desire to have a home for ;,sed
that she is to keep up her reputation
for having everything needful for the
happiness OF her citizens within her
borders. although the home is not
necessarily closed to others from out
side. The fact that women are
standing ready to enter such home.
IL the requisite amount Of money Is
raised to take over the BOcthby es.
tate according to the terms OF the
Boothby will, shows that there will
be an income from the start and
makes those who are instruL. entail in
pushing the project feel very hope
full that the home is an assured fact.
It has beep planned for several years
to have a home for aged women in
Waterville, but the time has never
can be claimed for such a purpose
II sufficient means can be | occurred
to satisfy the trustees that such q
home can be maintained. A home of
that sort so pleasantly located and
so finely equipped would be a great
credit to Waterville and people are
showing their interest with very SUBJ
stantial pladges of financial support.
