The attendance at the baseball game yesterday shows
that any sport will have the support of a good bunch of
rooters. Manv of the rooters left before the game started
4
but those who remained enjoyed themselves and witnessed
a good sport considering that it w as only a practise game.

Turn out to the dinner tomorrow night of the Cham*
her of Commerce and start something for the Fourth of
Julv. Let us show a few around Seward that there is

some life here after all.

If this kind of weal In r keeps up the Pioneers picnic
on August 4th is likely to be a skating party or a sleigh
ride. But then perhaps this weather is summer and we
don’t know it.
Anyway the diamond was in good shape yesterday
due to the energy of the soldier boys in putting odd licks
in at odd moments.
Germany said that it could give no safe guaranty for
the safe passage of American ships carrying grain to
Switzerland. The American government plainly said:
“Who is Germany, anvwav? ’ and went ahead, loaded
ships, and sent them across the Atlantic with an armed
force. Suppose the Kaiser did give a guaranty? What

' Our boys in the navy enjoy their
Bevo. The esteem in which it is
held by the entire Navy Depart
ment is clearly indicated by the
fact that it is sold and served on
all U. S. vessels and in training
camps. Afloat or ashore, you will
find Bevo unusually refreshing,
good and healthful.
Soft in the strictest sense, but a
thoroughgoing man's drink. Try
it by itself, or with a bite to eat.

makes good.
The City Council or Chamber of Commerce should
try and find accomodations for 15 or 20 more additional
| soldiers who can be sent to Seward according to informa- ■
lion received by Lieut. Long. The matter should be an
easy one to adjust and 15 or 20 more soldiers here means
something right now.

The coal famine was broken with the arrival of the
steamer Valdez. Doesn’t it jar one to think, that within
less than an hundred miles, there are government coal
mines, yet we have a coal famine? Splendid jockeying of
funds, by someone, who for years has prevented railroad
connections.

It’s a Wet Job at Best—
but you can stand the moisture whether
it pours on your shoulders or surges
around your hips, IF—your feet are
dry. Miners have found ONE boot that

ONE PIECE footwear. And as for
wear—it navigates rocky surfaces and
jagged trails that would spell death for
ordinary footwear in a half or third

C|j!| like it—or wears like it. Try it.

(COAL SYSTEM
IN BERLIN IS
TO BE CHANGED
AMSTERDAM, May 13 — Dissatis
faction with the system of coal dis
tribution which was employed in Ber
lin during the past winter has led to
the adoption of an entirely new sys
tem which goes into effect this month
The chief feature of the new scheme
is the establishment of “customer
lists”, which means that a retailer is
• bound to supply those customers who
' register with him with the amount of
coal to which their tickets legally
entitle them. The plan is intended to
operate over a full year so that con
sumers can utilize their allotted fuel
supply as they sec fit.
There will be two coal tickets, one
for coal for cooking purposes and the
other for heating coal. The cooking
coal ticket is graded into three kinds
according to the number of persons
in the household. A family of one or
two persons will recive 1,200 pounds;
three to six, 1,600; seven to ten 3,200
Coal for heating purposes is allot
ed according to the number of rooms
in a house. One room is allowed 500
pounds; two rooms 1,000 pounds, and
so on up to 6,000 pounds. Persons
who used more than 6 tons for heat
ing purposes last winter will be allow
ed just half the amount they consum
ed then.
