of an invitation extended to the dele
cation by Mr.. v. G. Lee, chairman Of
the district fair committee at Enum-
claw, for them to hold their All club

HISTORY SKETCH OF
THE LIFE GROVER
CLEVELAND

Grover Cleveland was born in
Caldwell, New Jersey, March IS,
1887. His father was a Presby-
terian minister, and frequent re-
mOvals interrupted-not to say in
terfered with-Grover's early edu-
cation. At 16 he became a clerk
in the New York Institution for the
Blind. Two years later, while visit
ing relatives in Buffalo, New York,
he accepted a position with a law
firm, studied law, and was admit
ed to the bar in 1859.
Cleveland entered politics in1S63,
when he was appointed an assist
ant to the district attorney of Erie
County Three years after that he
was a defeated Democratic candi-
date for district attorney. He
formed a law partnership, resum-
ed his practice until 1870, when he
was elected Sheriff Of Erie County
He served his term, resumed his
law practice once more and in 1881
was elected mayor of Buffalo. This
political triumph was followed by
the Democratic gubernatorial nomi
nation in September, 1882. In a re-
volt against the Republican ma
chine" he was elected governor of
New York by an overwhelming
majority. From that time on Cleve-
land was a marked man in politics.
and at the Democratic national
convention two years la.er he was
nominated for the president.
In the campaign that followed a
woodenheaded Republican preacher
made his celebrated Rum Roman
ism and Rebellion" fluke, and Cleve-
land defeated Blaine the RepubIi-
can candidate, by a narrow margin.
The most outstanding feature of
Cleveland administration was his
dlscarding Of the "spoils system"
brought into favor by Andrew Jack
son.
He was renominated for a sec
ond term by the Democrats, oppos-
ing Benjamin Harrison on the Re
publican ticket. The popular vote
gave Cleveland a majority in the
subsequent election, but the cleo
oral vote elected Harrison. Cleve-
land retired 70 his law practice in
New York City In 1892, he was
again given the Democratic nomi-

GOING RIGHT AHEAD

Faith in the future Of America is voiced by
the president of one of the largest public utill-
ties, the United Gas Improvement Company.
According to him, its construction budgets
have been made without heed to depressed"
businesss conditions During 1881 the system
will spend more than $31,000,000.
Further, believing that prices have reached
bottom, this executive has decided whenever
possible, to begin new projects at once to take
advantage of the low cost of materials
Other great companies and industries reflect
a similar attitute Action such as this, rather
than aimless talks, will bring prosperity back

Best Plan to Separate
CoclrcreIs and Pullets

1t will pay to separate young
coclereIs from the pullets when
eight to ten weeks of age. This
will give the pullets a chance for
better development and enable the
poultryman to force the cockerels

grain to the growing chicks after
ave weeks of age. Put the grain
and mash hOppers out on the range
and induce a maximum of exercise
This keeps the chicks out in the
Sunshine for vigor and vitality in
the young stock.

Early American Colonist

Edward Maria Winfield was an
English merchant and cOlonist in
America. He was born at Stone
ley, Huntingdonshire. He served
in the English army, both in Ire
land and in the Low countries. Be
coming interested in schemes for
American colonization, he was one
of those to whom the patent of Vir-
ginia was granted, April 6, 1909. He
was the only one of the patentees
who sailed to America with the
first colonists, and was named in
the sealed instructions a member
of the council, of which he was
elected the first president. He
quarreled with the other members
of the council, and with Capt. John
Smith in particular. His Catholi-
cism threw suspicion upon his 10y
atty and he was soon deposed, both
from the council and gOvernOrship,
in September, 1907. In 1908 he re
turned to England.

he became The only president to
occupy the unique position of serv-
ing two terms not consecutive.
Features of Cleveland's second

AT the close Of his second term
Cleveland retired to private life
once more. and died June "a, 1908.

In brief. we can think of but
one thought to add to the hun
dreds of expressions which
have gone forth in the days
leading up to today's inaugu-
rails. That thought is this
everything which has been writ
ten or said can be forgotten
starting today, when actions
afield will speak louder than
the glittering words that have
rolled from thousands Of type
writer's.
As the two major league races
staN all the dope is off and
the playing alone is what will
count. 1t is generally conceded
in baseball circles the National
League will furnish a five-team
race with st. Louis, New York,
Brooklyn, Chicago and Pitts
burgh battling it out down to
the finish. In the American
League Washington and Phila-
delphia are the two teams men,
toned most prominently as the
contestants to be feared by all
the rest.

Best None Too Good

Thirty thousand pairs Of eyes
were expected to see the first
ball thrown today from the
strong right arm of President
Hoover, and 10000 sets Gf ears
were due to hear those 81 saluteS
fired from an artillery piece in
honor to the little brown broth
ers to the Southwark.
And while these guns boom
the greetings Of one country
to it's Southerly neighborS as a
Pan-American tribute, they also
boom the opening of another
baseball season to the fans who
listen, either in person or over
the air.
Any way you take it, it is a
fitting start for the national
paStime coming out of the
eclipse of winter into its zenith
which lasts until the waning
days of September, the twenty
seventh, to be exact.
Meanwhile Washington is sol
idly behind the boys wearing its
uniform and to this observer
that backing is deserved. The
team looks to be worthy Of the
city under whose banner it flour
isheS and certainly the city is
worthy of the winner our club
promises to be. This newspaper
and this writer, along with tens
of Thousands of similarly enthu-
SiaStic fans, hope for Washing
ton and Walter Johnson this
year the very best. It would be
none too good.

George Diffenbaugh, midget as
sistant to j. Mcnro Hunter. golf
professional at the Indian Spring
Club, will resume his duties today
after an absence of more than
four months.
Diffenbaugh has been in Florida
where he acted as an assistant
to Bob Barnett at the Indian
Creek Club at Miami Beach. He
returned to town late Saturday
night.
The wee assistant pro at Indian
Spring did not play in the first
of the bi-weekly tournaments Of
the Middle Atlantic Professional
Golfers yesterday at Indian
Spring. He'll compete in the
pros tourney scheduled Monday
at the Rolling Road Club in Balti-
more.
Some of the pros who COM
peted in yesterdays tournament
are mourning costly errors.
There was MOnrO Hunter who
went out in a blazing 35, only
to run afOul of shoals on the
inward trip. Hunter managed
to score 40 for the last nine,
and this put him in a three
way tie with Glenn Spencer, of
the Maryland Country Club,
and Bob Barnett, of Chevy
Chase, for first prize, each
scoring IS for 18 holes.
Coming home, Hunter was shy
on three of his approach shots,
while he was IL feet from the cup
with his second shot on the long
par S Sixteenth-and took three
puts. Playing into the wind on
the final home, he lofted a No. 3
iron that was a few yards short Of
the pin. Others we're using
wooden clubs for their second
shot on this hole, but Hunter is a
long-hitter.
Scores Four Brides
Spencer, despite two skies on
his score, erased these mistakes
with brides on the second, eighth,
tenth and thirteenth holes. Cliff
Spencer, who took 76, struck q
streak of bad putting and three
putted four greens in row. Mel
Shorey, another who was stroke
removed from the leaders, three
putted the short fourteenth and
also three-putted the fifteenth.
Al Houghton went up into the
clouds on the fifth, where he re-
quired four strokes to reach the
carpet and then took three puts.
Besides, Al narrowly missed get.
ting down in one putt on the final
green, his ball hanging on the lip
of the cup. Had this ball dropped,
it would have given Houghton IS
and placed him in a tie with
Hunter, Spencer and Barnett. The
