GOLF. KITTEN BALL, ETC.

Play in the local diamond ball leagues
will come to an end this week with
champions being crowned in both
leagues.
The Mantel Hardware team has al
ready cinched the championship in the
Eastern League. The champion in the
Western League will be decided before
the week is over with the Swanson
Pool Hall and Luka's Ten having the
best chances of coming out on top.
The Maptel Hardware team has DOM
mated the play in the Eastern League
all season and will enter the city series
against the Western champion favored
to cop the championship. The champi-
onship games will begin Sunday with
all contests being played at the Ath-
letic Park diamond. Games will be
played Sunday, Monday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Sunday. The Sunday
and Monday games will be played in
the afternoon with the others sched-
uled for evenings. All championship
games will go nine innings.
When the diamond ball leagues were
organized several local business men
stepped forward and sponsored teams
The idea caught hold and at present
most of the teams are playing under the
name of some business firm.
Following are the standings of the
teams in the two leagues. These stand

depression hit the railroads

Farm Bureau Camp
At State Fair.

For the third successive year the
Minnesota Farm Bureau will conduct a
free camp at the Minnesota State Fair,
where out-of-town visitors may pitch
their tents and enjoy camp life while
doing" the exposition. Each year
since the Farm Bureau took over the
operation of the camp, improvements
have been made to the gorunds, which
are equipped with running water, cleo
trio lights, gas stoves for cooking, and
other conveniences. Everything is free
to those who have their own camping
equipment. The camp is situated on
the northeast corner of the fairgrounds,
on Smelling Avenue.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars will
again furnish Accommodations in their
White City for those who do not own
camping equipment. Profits made from
this service are used by the Veterans
organization for relief work among dis
abled and destitute ex-service men.
The Farm Bureau receives no income
of any kind from the camp, operating
it for the convenience of rural people
who otherwise might not be able to
afford visit to the fair.
AS in past years, the Minnesota Farm
Bureau will have booth on the fail
grounds proper, in Agricultural Hall
Farm people are invited to call at the
booth, and make it place of meeting
| with their friends.
The camp will be operated only
during Fair week, Sept. $40.

Safety in Driving.

One of the sound rules for safe
driving is to watch the other fellow"
When we form the habit of doing just
that we keep our eyes on the road
ahead. When we keep our eyes on the
road ahead it's ever so much easier to
keep our minds on the all-important
job of driving safely.
Watching the other fellow develops
a new interest in him, too. 1t fosters
badly needed highway courtesy. 1t is
a constant reminder that the road is
owned by all, and not by any one
driver. 1t tells us that the other fellow
has equal rights with our own, and that
if We infringe on those rights we do so
at our own peril.
When we consider driving privilege,
rather thans right, we will all get
along better. And when we make it
a practice of watching the other driver
we will come to realize that driving
is mutual proposition, and that our
highways will become safer only when
We develop that spirit of fairness to all
when we are at the wheel.-National
Safety Council.

STATE CAPITOL CHATTER

But, as already stated, these COM
parsons are by no means reliable,
since accurate information is not avail
able as to the number of votes in the
straw ballot cast in each of the counties
represented.
Anyhow, no matter what straw votes
| may or may not indicate, I'm ready
now to make an out and out prediction
as to the next governor of Minnesota.
| I'm willing to stake my reputation
as political prophet and bet my next
weeks wages against the hole in a
doughnut that the next governor will
be one whose name contains five letters.
I'll go even better and double the bet
that the next governors name will be
ending in the letter IN"
Sounds kind of brave, doesn't it?
But if you just look at the names
Olson, Brown, Regan-you'n see how
simple it all is, and how safe my bet is.
| Try it on your neighbor.
| On Tuesday of last week had the
pleasure of attending the community
picnic at New Sweden, Nicollet county,
in honor of Speaker Oscar A. Swenson,
now Republican candidate for railroad
and warehouse commissioner.
There were about 1000 people present
| in the afternoon and an even larger
crowd in the evening, most of them
from Nichollet county, although there
was a sprinkling from adjoining
counties Mr. Swenson was eulogized
| by speakers as a splendid type of man,
mighty good neighbor and an honest
and efficient public servant.
But got the biggest kick" out of
the entire affair, pleasant as it was in
every respect, out of an incident that
came so unexpectedly that it took every
body by surprise.
When Earle Brown, candidate for
governor, was introduced to the crowd
he was given an ovation second only
to that accorded the guest of honor,
Mr.. Swenson, but instead of starting
| to make a speech, Mr.. Brown asked
everybody to stand up. Then he raised
both arms high in the air and urged
everybody to do likewise.
That's right, now stretch 'em as
high as you can, like this" he said,
illustrating by stretching his own arms
high and rising on his toes.
Just the old-time seventh-inning
stretch he said. The crowd responded
in fine shape and when the three
stretches had been completed, they
again applauded. They had already sat
patiently through some half dozen or
more speeches and appreciated the
candidates thoughtfulness in giving
them the opportunity to take the kinks
out of their joints.
I happened to overhear the remark
of a young farmer which seemed to
reflect the sentiment of the whole
crowd. Turning to a middle-aged man
beside him, this young farmer said:
why, that Browns regular guy, he's
human, amt hep"

st. Paul, Aug. 80, 1932-The straw
vote season is opening up and the first
such informal ballot of much size or
consequence to be reported is the one
taken last week at the Benton county
fair under the auspices of the st. Cloud
Daily TimeS-J Journal, of which my good
old friend, Fred Schilplin, is editor and
publisher.
According to information received,
this vote was taken principally among
farmers of Benton and Stearns counties,
with scattering also from Sherburne,
Mile Laos, Wright and Morrison
counties.
For president the straw vote was:
Roosevelt, 1348; Hoover, 1868; Thomas,
10; Al Smith, l.
For governor: Olson TAI; Brown,
$50; Regain, 1874.
These figures are quite interesting,
even if, like Goldberg's cartoon slogan,
1T doesn't mean anything" They
probably represent pretty fairly the
sentiment of that community at this
stage of the game but many things
may happen between now and Nov.
to change sentiment of voters.
The significance of the result of
this straw vote could be better re-
vealed if there were some good basis
for comparison with the vote for presi-
dent in 1928 and the vote for governor
in 1890. However, since the lions share
of the votes cast at the Benton county
fair is reported as having been cast
by residents of Benton and Stearns
counties, it might be interesting to see
how this straw vote compares with the
actual vote in those two counties.
In 1928 these two counties cast a
combined vote of 1886 for Smith and
1882 for Hoover, ratio of approx
mately to 4, while last weeks straw
vote shows a ratio of about 2 to Tor
Roosevelt over Hoover, somewhat OF a
gain for this years Democratic candi-
date. (But it must not be forgotten
that in 1928 Hoover carried Minnesota
over Smith by about 100000.
The gubernatorial straw vote is per-
haps more interesting to contemplate

two years ago.
In 1890 the counties of Benton
and Stearns together voted as
follows: Olson, 14,208; Chase, 6,150; In
drehus, 2289. This is a ratio OF 2 and
and l, while the straw vote OF last
week, shows the following ratio, rough
ly figured: Olson, ia; Brown 5ls; Re-
gan, 4.
The outstanding feature, of course,
is the big increase in the proportionate
vote received in the straw ballot by
Regain, this years Democratic candi-
date. as compared with the vote given
Indrehus two years ago. This is all
the more significant when one re-
members that Benton is the home
country of Indrehus. The figures also
show Brown to be stronger, compare
lively, than Chase was two years ago.

Early Church Bells

While church bells were heard in
France before chimes were hung in
Whitby abbey in England (the year

century that Switzerland and Germany
began to regard the bell as useful

who commanded the bel! commanded
the town" The bell-ringers were per-

and bad tidings.

When petroleum was first extract

and the common name "coal oil" was

petroleum was refined, the principally

days was kerosene, used for lamps
The name "coal oil" was then com.
