FIRST GAME SUNDAY

A fine crowd of fans went out to
Westside park to see the first ball
game of the season Sunday. Their
enthusiasm had been fired at the
baseball dance the night before. The
dance was also we'll attended and
Manager Peglow reports that the
two events netted the team wall over
800 which is considered to be a
very satisfactory nestegg with which
to start the season.
Score IL to 5
The game proved a real diamond
battle with victory lowering uncer-
tainly for seven of the nine innings.
Although the score was a tie until
the eighth, 5 to 5, the Old-Timers
blew up in the final periods and the
regulars swelled their count to an
even dozen-fnal score, IL t. 5
The game was interesting from

good chance to win if it had Il been

The regulars played strong, con-

1t is true that the elections
brought out the political trim
mers. Those who strayed from
the fold have been humbled but
not entirely subdued. In the
cloakrooms of the Senate and
House, where frank opinions are
exchanged privately, the subject
of enforcing party regularity is a
favorite topic. Some honestly
believe that the removal of So
called insurgents" from MAORI
ty posts on important commit
tees, will help the two principal
parties. Others are convinced
that the Punishment of Senator
LaFollette and his friends from
party councils was a grave poll

this public ostracism of the sew

tangle may come when votes are

CELEBRATE BANDS
TENTH ANNIVERSARY

The tenth anniversary celebra-

joyable evening was spent.

spared no labor in preparation of
the affair, the hall was tasteful

ton, for as is well known a small
town band has its limitations be-
cause the membership is largely
Woodworking farmer boys whose
time to devote to music is rather
limited, and further, a director of
a small town band is also gener-
ally limited in ability. But the
purpose as we see it was to get
together and talk over one of
our community projects-some-
thing in which all are more or
less interested and from which
some benefit may be derived both
educationally and socially al
though far from being of high
class musical order. When a
whole community stands back of
a project it is sure to succeed and
the result is gratifying.
The band boys had planned a
real surprise for the gathering
in that they had taken their in
struments along and left them in
another building that evening
intending, if an opportunity pre-
sented itself, to have rendered
few selections and thanked folks
in that manner for the spirit
shown. But as the hour was
rather late when the program
was completed and there was a
beautiful finish to it by the sing
ing of Home. Sweet. Home" by
the entire audience. the idea was
abandoned. The boys, however,
are reserving their good inten-
tons for another time.

wished before the festival. were

The speaking was interpreted

CONSERVING HEALTH

The strong effort 10 conserve
public health through regulation
of the food supply is shown by
the 1900 cases prosecuted under
the Federal food and drugs act
since the law was enacted. The
food or medicine misbranded or
adulterated is sliced.
Among frequent violations Of
this law are shipments of rotten
eggs from state to state, mis-
branding or adulterating flour,
sale of butter deficient in butter
fat and short of weight. addition
of water TO milk, use in part of
decomposed tomatoes for canned
tomatoes, catsup and tomato
pulp, and substitution of cotton
seed oil for olive oil.
Federal authorities have had to
watch package shipments care
fully to eliminate short-weights.
and compel the shipper to state
on the label plainly the amounts
of the contents. Proprietary pre-
parations are especially subject
to abuse through preposterous
and fraudulent claims of their
efficacy in curing diseases like
cancer. diptheria, and tuberculo-
sis, besides a host Of smaller all
ments.
