The Chicago White Sox are the world’s champion base ball team, hav ing won the title by taking the last two games from the New York Giants, winning the game last Saturday at Chicago with a score of 8 to 5 and again trimming the Giants on their own diamond last Monday with a score of 4 to 2. The American League teams have been winning the base ball classic pretty regularly the past dozen years and it begins to look as if the junior league was the fastest oganization. Arthur Ryan and Tom Enright have been farming the past week, digging their potatoe crop. Last spring they furnished the seed and Pat Welsh planted the spuds and took care of them and the boys split the proceeds, fiffty-fifty. They finished harvesting Wednesday and secured a little over 600 bushel of potatoes off of the four acres. Pat Welsh had some of the potatoes in town Tuesday and they were as fine looking potatoes as we have ever seen, clean and nice and weighing a pound each. The high cost of “spuds” will not bother Art, Tom or Pat for the next year. Roy DeMontague, who broke into I Casper Englehaupt’s store at Emmet | last week, was arrested at Oakdale i and brought back to this city. Mon I day he appeared in district court, I plead guilty to burglary and was | sentenced by Judge Dickson to an in ! determinate term of from three to | twenty years in the penitentiary and 1 was taken to Lincoln by Sheriff Duffy I Tuesday morning. A week ago Sunday 1 night he broke into the store and 1 stole about $80 worth of clothing and | $6.00 in cash that was in the money | drawer. He will have plenty of time 1 at Lincoln to repent of his wayward ! ness. | The Omaha Printing Company, of | Omaha, has filed suit in the district 1 court of Holt county against the | County of Holt to collect the sum of | $488.50 for furniture purchased by a 1 couple of members of the county g board from the plaintiff last Decem | ber. The bill for the furniture was | filed on February 26, 1917, and it was 1 rejected by the county board on Sep | tember 10, 1917. The board alleges gj that the members of the board, who 1 purchased the furniture, had no 2 authority to purchase it and for that reason the claim was rejected. The furniture was received by the county and is now in use in several county offices. Inman Leader: A prairie fire which started on section fifteen about 11 o’clock Wednesday forenoon burned four stacks of hay and swept quite a stretch of meadow before the blaze was brought under control. One stack belonged to Geo. Kivert and three stacks to C. C. Chase. The fire origi nated on the open meadow within a short distance of two bailing crews which were at work at the time. A heavy wind was blowing from the south and before the men could reach the scene of the fire the wind had whipped it into a regular rampage whch re quired the combined efforts of the entire'neighborhood and a large force of volunteers from Inman. The fire burned pretty close to the Ellsworth farm residence, but by back firing^ the course was changed. Probably a strip two miles long was burned and where the hay stacks were pretty well scat tered. The total loss will amount to about $400 at the present price of hay. A special election was held in the state of Iowa last Monday, the state voting on a prohibition amendment to the constitution. A very heavy vote was cast, much greater than was ex pected and from the last returns it appears as if the amendment was de feated. According to the Sioux City Tribune ' the figures, compiled at 2 o’clock Wednesday giving a majority of 3,390 for the wets, were as follows: For the amendment 206,659, and 210, 049 against the amendment. Practi cally all the larger cities in the state, except Des Moines, gave large majorities against the amendment, the capital city voting dry by about 1,100. The defeating of the amendment does not make the state wet, as it is now dry by legislative enactment and will be dry until the present law is re pealed and that can not be done until the next legislature meets. The ap parent victory for the wets is a gregt surprise as it was confidently pre dicted that Iowa, which has for years contained great dry sentiment, would be overwhelmingly dry, in fact prior to the election it was claimed by the drys with a majority of 100,000. Now that Uncle Sam has the young men of the country in training for military servee, he finds that he needs 10,000 typewriter operators and steno graphers and typewriters, both men and women, for the Departments at Washington.
