MRS. w. L. DAY, THE
FLOWER LADY

Mrs. Day seems to have a charm
about her which coaxes the flowers,
especially the sweet peas, to send
forth the most beautiful and fragrant
blossoms in Winslow. She just loves
them into bloom. And then her love
and generosity reaches out through
the medium of beautiful bouquets, to
her neighbors and friends. The sick
are not forgotten and then on Sunday
morning every pulpit is graced with
some of her beautiful flowers. And
SO her sweet christian influence is
felt all over the city through the
fragrance and beauty of her flowers
Truly she is the flower lady of Win
slow.

AT daybreak the precious parcel and the
two letters were mailed and then the
friends parted, Phillip to seek bit of
much needed sleep, and Peter to return to
the studio and there finish the copies he
had promised the young lady for that
afternoon.
The following few days were anxious
ones for Peter and his assistant. The
routine duties of the studio were perfume
toriy performed. Customers were few,
and this but gave added leisure for dis
cussions of the tantalizing mystery. These
discussions, instead of throwing any light
on the origin and nature of the phantom
but caused the mystery to seem still more
obscure and unfathomable Peters mind
was in constant state of disquietude and
perplexity; added to this was his anxiety
concerning the outcome of the prize con-
test.
On the morning of the 18th, the day the
contest closed, Peter and Phillip, by mutual
agreement, decided to taboo all conversa-
ton concerning the phantom until the re-
suit of the contest had been announced.
The subject had become strain, and
disturbed their peace of mind.

self. He then chased back across the
diamond to settle the issue with Whelihan
who caused all the disturbance. A
pretty little foot race then took place but
Whelihan was getting the best of the en-
counter which caused Bur to toss the ball
to H'dy who made an easy out. In the
meantime O'Brien sneaked up to third
but nothing came of that for Delar retired
the side on a fly to Bons. H'dy had
visions of chasing the base runners all up
to one bag and then making a triple play,
unassisted, by tagging each runner in turn.
The locals first counter came in the
second round, developing from single
and triple and one in the fourth from
huke home run. One in the fifth from
three errors and two in the sixth from
two singles, one double, one triple and one
error. Thus ended perfect day in which
the locals recorded their first shutout of
the season.

BASEBALL

Aided by superior pitching, the local
ball club annexed another victory Saturday
afternoon, at the expense of the St. Paul
Transportation ball tossers on the locals
back lot, the victory being shutout with
to count, in an eight inning game.
On account of considerable delay in
starting the game by the visitors being
minus a catcher, both teams agreed to
draft local backstop into the game for
the opposition until the arrival of their
regular player. Wor', who was selected
to fill the vacancy did credible work on
the receiving end during his period in
the game of three innings and it's safe
bet, "if," he had gone all the way the
game would have had different ending.
The game developed right off the reel
in a pitchers duel between Bur who was
on the firing line for the locals and
Dellar, who acted as pilot and moundsman
for the visitors. By Bur getting superior
support in pinches it enabled him to dole
out nothing but goose eggs. The local
tribe had an uncanny faculty in chopping
off runs at the platter which was, indeed
very encouraging to the fans. Butt Yes,
and very big one at that When it
comes to rounding up base runners, why,
ask H'dy how he does it. It's trick of
his own and one he has dreamed of all

with the opening of the sixth round.
Gallager led off with single, O'Brien
singled and Whelihan, who batted for
Hudephol hit a sizzling grounder to CEN
ter. Whelihan in rounding first saw the
play to the platter and thinking Gallager
would be safe in scoring, raced on for
second. The play was too fast for Gal
lager and he was forced to return to third.
Tos then whipped the ball to first, getting
Whelehan in a hot box. H'dy who now
had the ball chased Whelihan to within
six feet of second base and simply refused
to throw the ball to any player. All this
time Gallager was dancing back and forth
on the runway between third and home
not knowing which way to CO. Finally
Bur broke the monotony by walking up to
H'dy, and saying: "please Mr.. H'dy, give
me the ball." H'dy complied by handing
over the apple and Bur wheeled in his
tracks and lit out for third to get Gal
lager in hot box He was successful in
this and after tossing the ball back and
forth with Fos., finally made the out him

THE sIxTY.EIGHTH CONGRESS.

For the next year and four
months, the 68th congress seems
likely to be in session most Of the
time. Party lines are somewhat
loosely drawn in this body of men,
and no one group can control it. 1t
will not be ruled by any so-called
machine.
While the people do not like a
machine dominated congress, they
also do not like one that spends it's
time in futile discussion. They de-
mand to have things done. If the
various groups all insist fiercely on
their own policies and will not COM
promise, the results achieved by this
congress will not be large.
The difficulties that confront this
congress, grow to large extent out
of the bigness of our country, the
diverse views entertained by differ
ent sections and elements, the ten
dency in all sections just to see their
own needs and difficulties. The
congressman to a large extent rep
resent this limited point of view.
There will be a lot of unnecessary
talk in this congress. Many speeches
will be heard mostly by empty seats.
If the congressmen want to make a
favorable impression, they will cut
out a lot of their stump speeches,
spend less time securing jobs and
other favors for constituents, and
make more effort to study the con-
ditions of the country.
A congressman needs to talk with
men from all over the country, and
know business and social conditions
everywhere, both from reading and
personal investigation, so that when
he acts, his votes will be based on
broad intelligence rather than on
superficial information.
The people ask their representa-
tives to be patriots first and part
men second. If they will cut out
political wire pulling and making
political capital, and try to serve
their country, the public will back
them up.

CONVERSATIONS FOR POVERTY

Writers on social problems some
times refer to the compensatlons
for poverty. They endeavor t.
show that people may gain the bene-
fit of many blessings provided them
by the community, even il they have
a hard struggle in money matters.
To this the sharp retort is often
made, that it may seem very nice to
be poor to those who don't have to.
But those who have gone through
with this experience know that it
has no compensations, and is a social
condition that should not be to!er-
ated.
There is more than one kind of
poverty. There is the kind that re-
suits from vice, and another that
results from ignorance. There are
not apt to be compensations for such
poverty.
But there is another kind that oft
en- befalls good and intelligent peo-
pie, as the result of misfortune. The
people who have been through with
such experiences may have had hard
and struggling days. But compensa-
ton is one of the great laws of life,
and nature usually makes up to peo-
pie for those losses for which they
are not to blame.
The children of many well to do
people have too many good things,
too much is given them. Such ones
often lose a sense of values, they
become materialistic, they are sur
feited with pleasure, they often fail
to develop resources of their own.
But the children of many folks
who came up through poverty learn
ed lessons of determination, of am
bition, of earnest work, that spurred
them on to successful achievement.
They developed keen sense of val
ues, they had to study carefully to
make the best of everything, they
enjoyed keenly such pleasures as
came in their way. Such ones are
really more attractive in their en-
thusiasm and interest than many of
the sons of the rich. Life is not all
gain for the rich, nor is it all loss
for the poor

PROGRESS WITH THE ROADS.

The people of many rural sec
tons feel that their road conditions
are very bad, and they are often
right. But if people will look back
10 years, they will usually see that
road conditions in their own section
have decidedly improved.
Formerly the country people had
to build their own roads or go with
out. Now the automobile owning
city folks have been persuaded that
it is good policy to contribute for
the improvement Of country roads
and they are doing it on a large
scale.
The vast job Of rebuilding our
roads can not be accomplished all at
once, but methods and results are
improving. If any section finds that
its roads are worse than they were
10 years ago, it certainly needs to
get busy.

CONTROLLING CIVILIZATION.

The thought has been expressed
by different people in different ways,
that modern man has built up,
through wonderful material de-
velopment, splendid civilization.
But now that civilization has to a
large extent gotten out Of his con-
troll. AS result terrible wars de-
vastate the planet. Also there is
social strife, industrial unrest, class
struggle. The machinery of modern
life is marvellous, but it is not reg
ulated.
Men make wonderful discoveries
in chemistry, for instance and light
en- the labor of daily life by their
inventions. Yet by reason of this
lack of control over civilization and
science, men take chemicals which
might be so serviceable, and suf-
focate armies and threaten peaceful
cities with their gas attacks.
The machinery and science of
modern life are compared by some
with the story called "Frankenstein,"
the imaginative tale of a student who
discovers the art of creating life
artifcially. He thereby creates a
horrible yet pathetic monster, who
murders his friend and pursues his
creator from one land to another
Modern development, unless control
led, might likewise be kind of
Frankenstein product, which turns
and harnesses its creators.
Nevertheless, there are more peo-
pie than ever before who appreciate
the necessity of bringing our ma
terial civilization under spiritual
forces. Our schools, colleges,
churches, etc, are powerful influ-
ences for better regulation of ma
terial development.
To regulate civilization the amass-
ing of money must cease to be the
first aim. Civilization will not be
well regulated, until the struggle
for selfish advantage is supplanted
by cultivation of more refined en-
joyments not dependent upon mon
ey, and by a spirit of emulation to
noble achievement.
