Now that a bachelors paradise has been discovered
on Nunivak Island it is presumed a 58th bureau will be
sent out from Washington to control its activities.
WHEN EDITORS SAID THINGS
“Those were the days of personal journalism,” states
the Rocky Mountain News, referring to printing and pub
lishing facts in Colorado 45 or 50 years ago. “A differ
ent use for the editorial column—but one which in its way
was just as strong an attack and which brought results—
was one appearing the day after a thief had raided the
supply, of game the printing force of a paper had stored
away against the winter days. It was headed:
'“Special Notice.
'“To the semblance of a man who stole our venison
hams. You miserable, mean, contemptible, thieving
scoundrel, you are hereby notified that on Saturday
morning last, the morning after the disappearance of our
venison hams, we said to our devil, “Prepare for War”
An order which was music to his ears, and such a war,
too; just equal to his former experience, he having main
tained for over two years a war of extermination against
wolves, skunks, prairie dogs, rattlesnakes and long tailed
swifts that inhabit the sandhills just below Fremont’s
orchard. He immediately mounted his guns, having set
one deadfall, two steel traps of muskrat capacity and one
rabbit snare for your corporosity. In the same vicinity
he has dug a hole in which he has set a pinhook baited
with a grain of bedbug exterminator, to catch your soul
as it wings its way on downward after the corisummatior
of its sub-lunary schemes/
“The tirade also went on to say that the devil had
been promised for the scalp of the ham thief the same
bounty that the government offers for wolf scalps. Nc
further thefts were reported, for the editorial seemed tc
be more than half true.”
We see where the first roundup of reindeer will take
place next month in the Kuskokwim. Now if they will
only roundup some of these alleged politicians and put
them in cold storage everyone will be happy.
When a person uses an unusual word frequently, it
is a good indication that it is a recent acquisition
With the primaries, the general election and the Lit
erary Digest's straw vote we shall have plenty of excite
ment next year.
A recent shipment of razors to Africa indicates that
they are going to have a big dance over there.
Judging from the sales of flasks, decanters, etc., in
Paris to members of the Second A. E. F., it is seen the
boys are still he-men.
BY “Cannon BafH” Baker
j “We have met the enemy and they
(are ours.’’ So sayeth the Army nine,
who met and defeated the City In.
I door baseball nine, to the tune of 12
'to 8. It was a stirring game from
. |-start to finish, and lightening fast
; plays v/ere made bn both sides.
' The base umpire seemed to be in
II
l a daze—when he was called upon to
‘! make a decision he would cast fur
jtive glances around him and which
‘ ever side would howl and threaten
• j the loudest would be favored with
I the decision. Frequent yells of “rob
* ber,” “kill the ump,” “cut out his giz
. zard” were heard.
' J
> “Abie” starred for the Army Nine
and had any of the Big League
scouts been present they would have
fought each other for his services
i
;and being as how I’m manager, I
wouldn’t sell him for 15 cents Mex.
Abie made -several fine catches of
foul tips that would have made Mud
dy Ruel or Hank Gfowdy hang their
heads in shame. “Sparky” Galloway
hit the only home run of the game
and electrified everybody present
with speed on the bases. “Newsy”
I
Jess tried to fool him with an out
curve, but had he known, that was
just what old “Sparky” was laying
for. Crash—bat and ball met with a
! '
.ringing smack and the old pill sailed
on into the balcony. “Sparky” dropp
ed his nose bag and showed the gang
how he could burn up the oats going
around the bases.
I Many fast playsc were made around
second, “Cannonball” and “Gimpy”
I contributing several fast doublp outs.
“Rosie” Rose from “Dead Man’s”
i
Gulch, Arizona, who formerly starred
around the Old Orioles, played game
around 1st base. “Galloping” Gallo
way, the famous brother of “Sparky”
pitched the entire game for the Army
and had the City boys eating out of
his hand.
i “Gimpy” Harris, he of the heavy
;voice,says: It is rumored that the Ci
. ty team was deeply humiliated by
their defeat after having boasted
that they were going to pin our ears
back last night and Ithey have hurl
ed another challenge into our teeth
for a game next Monday night.”
The Army team has something up
.Jtheir sleeve besides the arms for the
!
- next game. They have just taken the
I •
! blanket off the dark iiorse and woe
to the City team when they meet on
, Monday evening in the local pavilian.
Shh, shh, it has been noticed that
old Roberts, Jess’ Andresen and the
rest of the City team are making a
wild search for more material. Yes
terday they offered to'trade 19 men
for old “Sparky”, but the nephews
, of Uncle Sam just laughed.
Sheldon has promised 'to furnish
the City team with all stamps that
they may desire in mailing contracts
to “Babe Ruth” and “Buster” Gehrig,
in order to help the City team clean
up on the Army boys. Captain Guth
rie says they will need more than
that. He has promised them mops
and brooms if they cf^sire to do any
cleaning up.
The only complaint after the game
last night was from “Beans” Urbacljt
who said that no.t enough balls were
lost.
By the way boys, the menace from
the North,-will arrive in town
tonight, so it behooves the “Arch
Ploters” to be wary and watch their
step.

Plus Goodrich quality in material and con
struction.
