he took Sullivan handily.

giants, didn't snatch the title
away from Jeff in long fight.

ClNl1ILdLIOH throughout AIHcIICds
And be it said here and now that
when the term crossroads" is
used, it is not in derisive tone.
1t has been our experience that the
baseball fans of the sparser COM
munities of this country are among
the best students of the game to
be found. Living as they do, in
out-of-the-way places, their forms
of diversion are limited, and they
have more time than the urban
fans to study their baseball, the
players that make up the game,
and their performances year in
and year out.
Mullens, W.. Va, gathers night
ly in the corner drug store to
discuss it's baseball. The town
has annually taken a great con-
Germ In Babe Ruth's all-Ameri-
can ball team.
A concern exceeded in intensity
only by the identity Of the fortu-
nate fans who, ror the last three
years, have won free seats to the
world series games as guests Of
this newspaper.
1t seems that the Babe Ruth con.
tests furnish a popular subject
around Mullins soda fountain and
tobacco stand nightly when the
day crews come off duty, for yearly
the number of entrants from that
source have mounted and mounted
until now a substantial majority Of
the population of that citadel has
tried it's hand at naming Ruth's
team.
Last season Mullins had one rep
resentative on the free list of world
series winners. and as result the
postmaster at that point worked
overtime this year canceling letters
from his flock to the contest editor.
That winners name is Arthur
King, of the Wyoming Hotel, who
came within three names Of dupll-
eating Babe Ruth's team. When
King appeared to claim his tickets
he proved to be an unusually intel
ligent baseball fan, who could quote
statistics and figures on the big
leaguers from years back. He
knew his baseball book, that boy
did.
That is the way your country
baseball rOOters learn their dope,
and the fact that distance pro-
hibits them from seeing as many
games as the city fans does not
detract from their intimacy with
the game.
They sit up late each night until
the passing express throws off it's
bundle of papers, and how they do
devour those sport pages and their
baseball news. They chew over the
days developments until the next
days papers arrive, and then
and then-on Saturday, some few
of them are fortunate enough to
get a trip up to the big city, where
they can get some first-hand views
of their own to take back home to
their less fortunate majority.
The corner drug store which
caters to the finer tastes of the
Mullins fans in the way Of nico-
tine, newspapers, magazines and
prescriptions, now and again spends
it's own good profits to send special
messages to The Times to ascer-
tain certain information about base
bali, settle bets and what not.
70" it is around it's hospitable doors
that baseball is mostly discussed
and a high-power radio set with
loud speaker has been installed
just outside to intercept the afte.-
neon play by play broadcast from
WRC and The Washington Times.
Saturday, September 8. when the
Babe Ruth free seats winners were
published, the corner drug store

Sayner News.

Now that we are having real
train service to Sayner and nearby
villages, such as Arbor Vitae and
Star Lake and Boulder, tourists
are arriving and ready to locate for
their vacation period. The Western
Union station is open and the St.
Paul ticket agent is likewise on
the job again.
Clarence Hardell returned from
Miami, Florida. He had spent the
winter there with the Ansons.
You can find him at the garage.
DeWitts new store building is
just about ready to be occupied.
1t improves the Plum lake corner
Of the village and is located just
across the street from the pavilion.
Froehlich is now operating the pa
vilion and roller rink on summer
schedule. 1t has been reftted and
is a mighty fine building for pleas
ure seekers during the summer
months.
Did any one say fish? More fish
are being caught now than at any
previous time during the past few
years and that is saying some
thing. Old Plum lake sure coughs
up the quality kind of big ones
and with its pure waters makes for
a perfect fish when baked. The
other nearby lakes, of which there
are many dozens, are coming in for
their share of angling. This pro-
misses to be a good year for the
fishermen.
AS soon as the highway crew
gets through rebuilding the high
way around the village, Sayner will
have some mighty good roads. Then
the trip to Eagle River will only
mean few minutes of time and no
bad bumps either.

Bad News and Good News.

Bad news travels with the speed
of a bird and good news like snail.
Let a man be converted at a church
service or perform some act of
kindness and there is not much of
a stir, but let him commit crime
and the news leaps by word of
mouth from one end Of the COM
munity to the other
How thoughtlessly unkind we
are sometimes when neighbors and
friends meet with misfortune!
Troubles are bound to come to us
all in some shape or form and what
we say about friends and acquaint-
ances today may apply to us to-
morrow. News is no respector of
persons.
We are prone to regard the ways
Of others not our ways when we
should be watching our own step.
What other folks say of one anoth-
.er frequently hurts more than any
thing they could have done. News,
especially bad, grows and becomes
exaggerated and distorted with ped
ding. When the news is good, it
makes no difference what version
is given to it. But bad news, given
wings may bring sorrow and ruin
upon people who are not deserving
Of a punishment beyond the penalty
the mistake costs.
More charity for others will
mean more charity for ourselves,
and we will gradually come to take
a keener delight in reporting some
thing good Of some person than
something bad. Good is construc-
tive; bad is destructive. Just be-
fore you are about to let out a bit
of bad news, stop and think of the
harm it may do. See if you can't
think of something good to say in
place Of it. The chances are that
you can, and will.-Ex.

On the Investigation.

The investigation at Madison is
interesting reading, at least, but 1t
is also bringing out some things
that are not very complimentary to
those implicated. The testimony
given some time ago by this man
Clark, to the effect that Senator
Barney Moran knew where he was
going and was, in fact, DESTROYS of
getting away from Madison during
the tax fight, is directly contra
dicted by Moran himself. He claims
he was doped and knew nothing of
what was going on. He was invited
to chicken supper, and after he
got into the car and was given a
couple of drinks, he was practically
unconscious.
The testimony given by others
also tends to show that there was
a conspiracy to do away with
Moran during the tax fight. The
statements vary somewhat, but the
point is that there was deal on,
and evidence points very strongly
towards Senators Carey and John
son as being implicated. If these
men are proven to have been so
implicated, they should resign their
positions, not only from the state
senate, but that of secretary of the
civil service commission and assis-
tant insurance commissioner. If
they don't do it voluntarily, the
governor should demand it.
A writer, in the Public Forum, .
criticizes us because we are criti-
Ching conditions at Madison and
do not go after President Coolidge.
SO far as we can see, there has not
been one breath of scandle brought
against President Coolidge. Where
bribery and wrong-doing have been
exposed, he has ordered prosecu-
ton. Where public officials have
been lax in duty or unfaithful to
their trust, he has removed them.
He was once criticized because he
didn't demand the resignation of
one Of his cabinet members Evi-
dence Of Wrong-doing seemed to be
convincing and the public clamored
for it He could have done the pop
ular thing and fired him. But he
wanted to be convinced that he
was right, and when he found he
was right he demanded the resigna-
ton.
If we had in our state depart
ments as conscientious and honest
officials as our president, there
would have been no need of inves-
tigation. He is doing what he can
to clean out the undesirable ones
and prevent any more Teapot Dome
affairs. If Governor Blaine will fol-
low the same tactics, there will be
some new faces in some of the jobs
down at Madison very soon.-Anti-
go Journal.

Add s.. 100000 TO State Taxes.

Repeal of the homestead exemp-
ton law will increase the revenue
derived from Wisconsin taxes APP
proximately So ,460,000 annually, ac-
cording to members of the state
tax commission.
Total property taxes, based on
the levy of last year, amount to
approximately S173,000,000 each
year. Homestead exemptions based
on the statutory $500 allowance to
each owner, on the same calcula-
ton, amount to approximately 2
per cent of the amount of the total
tax levied and are estimated by the
commission at So, 460,000.

Publish Special Issues.

While most Badger weekly news
papers played up the Decoration
Day activities of their communities
in generous manner, two editors
did an extraordinary job on this
feature. Taking considerable time
and expense, they decided one of
their best numbers of the year.
Editor D. G. Menefee, of the Villas
County News, gave his entire num-
Der to the local post of the Amer
lean Legion. Containing IA pages
and all set on heavy cream-colored
stock, this number was unusually
neat and attractive. Numerous
cuts and boxes were used through
out the paper. The text, too, was
interesting. The part that Villas
county played in the late war was
reviewed in such a manner that
would appeal to the folkss of the
county. Editor Menefee also car
ried considerable advertising in this
American Legion number.
At Plymouth, the Reporter came
forth for this day surrounded by a
heavy blue cover, containing in all
IA pages. Norman and Sons, edi-
tors, carried their usual large
amount of local news in this issue
and they were also high on adver-
Using. Build Wisconsin.
