A live town, with live merchants, invariably affects real estate and farm values and the desirability of that community as a place to live. By the people of a community con tinually trading with the local mer chants the spirit of co-operation is born. The merchant in turn almost without exception, is made to realize the necessity of having complete lines of goods. The daily paper, the tele phone and rural delivery have inaug urated a new system of merchandis ing, impossible under former condi tions, and as a rule, people of the different communities are enabled to buy all their wants and needs in their home town. Careful investigation has proved beyond doubt that the aver age small city merchant is as thor oughly alive to the wants and needs of his patrons bb are the tradesmen of the larger cities. The one thing only that is needed to make the co-opera tive scheme a success, and thus bring larger assortments of style and quali ty merchandise, is the united patron age of the buyers of that particular community. Some may say that they are unable to satisfy their want? in the smaller city or town. If such is the case, it is because the merchants of that town have not had the patron age necessary to justify their carry ing the added stocks. At least this is the ca§e in nine out of ten such com plaints. iOn the other hand, there is the possible chance, but only in very rare instances, of a merchant who will not see the trend of the times and who will not modernize his stocks to meet the new conditions. And, this being the case, there will be but a very short time elapse before that merchant has of necessity been either forced to see the light pr his trade has been assimilated by a mro pro gressive man and the opportunity of a good trading place afforded the buyer. There is no town in the country immune to the locating of “live wires.”—(c) RAY CLIFFORD ARRIVES AT CONGRESSMAN’S HOME The Frontier received a card a few days ago from Washington, D.

Nebraska State Bank THREE FAST TEAMS DEFEATED BY O’NEILL BALL TEAM THIS WEEK Elgin Subdued In Thirteen Inning Game, Gregory Beaten Twice And Lynch Once. O’Neill’s star aggregation of base ball players covered themselves with glory this week by winning four games from three of the fastest teams in north Nebraska and southern South Dakota. The most thrilling of the two games played at home was the thirteen inning one with Elgin Wed nesday and which will go down in history for the closeness of the con test and its thrills. The other home game, with Lynch Sunday afternoon also was thrilling in that it evened up the score with the boys from over the Niobrara and introduced to the fans a local hurler of decided merit, Bishop, who made his bow by strik ing out sixteen men and breaking the local strikeout record for the season. The new record however was shortlived, for on Wednesday, Quincy, pitching for O’Neill, whiffed twenty four and set a mark that is not apt to be exceeded for a long time to come.

Over at the dedication of the Rose bud bridge across the Missouri river near Wheeler, South Dakota, Tuesday, Allen,, O’Neill’s premier southpaw, distinguished himself and broke the hearts of western South Dakota base ball fans by defeating Gregory, the champions of South Dakota, twice in one day. The first game, in the morning was a shutout, O’Neill win ning 13 to 0 and batting Iler of Salem, the highest priced hurler in South Dakota, and Musik, who re placed him in the fifth, freely and at will, while the Gregory men were helpless before the O’Neill mound man. Then just to show that there was no hard feelings and that it wasn’t so very hard to do, Mr. Allen went back into the box in the after noon and again trimmed the Gregory bunch by a score of 9 to 4, Tomlinson, pitching for Gregory being unable to stop the batting streak of the Irish.

The feature of the game was the striking out of sixteen men by Bishop, O’Neill’s star right hander, and the breaking of the previous record for the season of fifteen strikeouts. Ry savy, the Lynch hurler, whiffed but six of the O’Neill batters. The hits were nine each. Bishop gave but one base on balls to Rysavy’s two and each hurler struck a batter. Home runs were made by Bazelman and F. Doyle, both of O’Neill. Both pitchers received good support from the other members of their teams. Battery for O’Neill—Bishop and E. Doyle; for Lynch — Rysavy and Schissler. O’NEILL VS. GREGORY September 1, 1925 At the bridge opening in South Da kota in the afternoon: O'NEILL: AB R H PO A E F. Doyle, cf ._.3 1 0 0 0 0 E.

The moon was just about to rise when Holliday, O’Neill’s third baseman, knocked one down just beyond Ander son, Elgin’s second baseman, which brought Fred Doyle, O’Neill center fielder, in. It being the last half of the thirteenth inning of the fastest baseball game played in north Ne braska for some time, the applause was long and enthusiastic; at least from the O’Neill section of the largest crowd which witnessed the dispute. A large gathering of baseball maniacs from Elgin, Neligh, O’Neill and points in South Dakota saw the game. It was no place for a sick man or one with a weak heart. Quincy, pitching for O’Neill, started it off by retiring the three first Elgin batters up, and then in the last half of the first F. Doyle and Emmet Doyle of O’Neill assembled two scores. The game, a perfect pitchers’ battle, with Eisler twirling for Elgin, moved along without a break until the fifth inning, when Elgin scored thrice. Then in the sixth O’Neill came back with one, tying the score, and every ' thing ran smoothly until the tenth in- : ning, when Elgin scored anther one and Beha for O’Neill hit a two-bagger and Carroll for O’Neill brought him in with one of the same size. It being the last half of the tenth O’Neill business men who had closed up their establishments for the after noon decided that it was useless to open up for the evening trade and settled down to await the finish. Quincy for O’Neill and Eisler for El gin were pitching almost perfect ball. The eleventh inning moved along and then the twelfth, without a score for either side. Then in the fatal thir teenth^ Quincy whiffed the first three Elgin men up and O’Neill came to bat. With two men out Fred Doyle singled to first and Emmet Doyle, O’Neill’s catcher, crashed a two-bag ger down beyond the second baseman. Both men tore around the diamond, with Fred Doyle crossing the home plate; but because of ground rules Fred Doyle was sent back to third and Emmet Doyle to second. Mr. Holliday for O’Neill proceeded to ad minister the coup de grace by placing one just out of reach of second base and Fred Doyle came in and the game was over. As a pitchers’ battle the game will go down in baseball annals, each pitcher facing a strong batting team and fighting to the last. The statis tics show that Quincy struck out twenty-four men and Schissler fourteen, that nine hits were registered against the O’Neill man and twelve against Eisler. The game was remarkable in being almost errorless and because of the absence of wrangling. The box score follows: O’NEILL VS. ELGIN September 2, 1925 At O'Neill, Nebraska O’NEILL: AB R H PO A E F.
