Not SO long ago, with great
cheer, came a tale that Loren
Murchison and Paddock were to
make an athletic tour of the
world" Hurray-out came the
pictures of the two athletes, with
descriptions of their various
strides, etc. s.
Then, almost before folks could
catch their breaths, it was an
nounced that, owing to some un-
foreseen circumstances, their "tour
was postponed a few weeks"
Murchison Immediately began
training and has been appearing
in various track meets, but Pad
dock is yet to be heard from.
Paddock proved anything but .
star in the 1924 Olympic games.
Paavo Nurmi, Willie Ritola and
Stenross, all of Finland, were the
heroes, not the former flying
Paddock"
Back to America came Ritola.
He has been followed by Nurmi.
Each has been smashing records
all winter and fast fading from
sight is the once great Charlie
Paddock, over whom the officials
Of the A. A. u. fought so bitterly
but a year ago.
The life of a~ athletic hero,
especially in track sports, is brief
as an Indian summer, the memory
of a COzy Dolan. A year ago
the sprinting son of California
was in the limelight. Today he
is stumbling around without .

Ed Walsh Makes Record

Thirteen Chances.

AT CHICAGO, April 10, 1907
Ed Walsh took tight pitchers
battle from Jacobsen, of the
Browns, and aided his own cause
considerably by his dizziness in the
field. The big spitballer had two
putouts and eleven assists, accept
ing thirteen chances in all. This
feat has never been done before
and constitutes a record for pitch
ers' chances accepted in a nine
inning game. Chicago scored the

Tiger Flowers is just shy cham

is game, fast, strong and able to

OPHEIM GROWS
RAPIDLY; HOLD
LOT AUCTIONS
Expect More Than 1,5OO Residents
Within Year, Commissioner Finds
After Survey.

Two solid blocks of 25-foot bust
ness lots, numerous residence lots
and some lumber yard sites were pur-
chased last week when the townsite
lot sale was held at Opheim, ac-
cordlng to Leonard S. Young, mem
Der Of the state railroad commission.
One lot brought $3.50.
Opheim, terminus of the Great
Northern line being extended from
ScObey, is astir with activity, Mr..
Young reports. On the day of the
lot sale, $50 to 200 automobiles were
in town.
That country is certainly land
of PROMISE" Mr.. Young said. "Oph-
elm, now a mere village, anticipates
rapid growth, and in year or so
should have from 1900 to 1000 peo-
pie. The new town is to be about
half mile north and west of the
present.
They will all move the the new lc.-
cation. The blacksmith at Opheim is
building twO-stOry house. He is
falling in line with the others, and
before the house is plastered he plans
to move it to the new townsite.
"SInce the boom began, Opheim,
which was without a doctor or a
lawyer, has among its newcomers two
doctors and two lawyers. Various
new business are opening"
Glentana, which is also on the ex-
tension, will likewise move to new
location, Mr.. Young was informed. A
lot sale was held there Friday. Sat
urday the townsite lots were offered
at Peerless, a town which is being
established on the branch.
''The crops in that country are re-
markable," Mr.. Young asserted
anyone who is not familiar with
the region is surprised at what he
finds produced on dry land. For in.

was planted June % and harvested

STARTLING FACTS ON
PRODUCTIVITY OF
NATIONS LABOR
Mines, Manufacturing Industries and
Farms. All Show Effect of Ma
cllinery.

The marvellous increase in the
productivity of the American worker
has been such that 1--WE ought not
to depend upon a continuous influx of
foreign labor to supply our indus
tries" declared Theodore G.. Risley,
Solicitor of the Department of Labor,
in a speech broadcasted on the even
ing of Labor Dav.
"Machinery in the United States
performs, every day, labor which
would require the toll of 3,000,000,000
men," said Mr.. Risley.
GA single invention within a years
time, increased the output of the win
dow glass worker from 55 square
feet per hour to over 5000. The an
nual production of the pig iron work
er has increased from 267 to 700 tons
and that of the coal miner from two
and one-half to over four tons per
day.
Speeding Up the Farm
"The average wheat crop of today
requires 100000 days toll, but the
same amount 100 years ago would
have required 130,000,000 days la
bcr, which indicates an increase of
1900 per cent in productive capacity.
''The American farm laborer pro-
duces an average of IL tons of
cereals per year, while the foreign
laborer produces only one and one
half per year.
"In 1920 there were 100000 few
er men on farms in this country than
in 1910, yet the crops produced were
one-third greater in the latter year.
AS an explanation of this remark
able showing, Mr.. Risley says: "The
American worker is the best educat-
ed and most intelligent toiler in the
world, and because of this fact, he
has more initiative and individuality
and is more efficient and capable in
the performance Of his duties"
