The team won the world’s championship at Stuart Thursday afternoon competing against six of the speedy teams of the country at the sixth annual field day of the Tri-County Improvement association composed of the live business m<j^ ranchers and farmers of Holt, Rock and Keya Paha coun ties. The association is one organ ized to improve not only the roads but conditions generally within the territory from which it draws its membership. The big field day was known as McMullen day and Gov. Adam Mc Mullen of Nebraska, an arrival <on the early morning train from the east, spent the entire day and until late at night visiting and mingling with the immense throng participat ing in the celebration. The govern or spoke Thursday night to on audi ence estimated at more than five thousand, talking on Nebraska and its resources, and afterward the day’s festivities were concluded with free movies of Nebraska, shown by Dr. G. E.. Condra of the state university, followed by a free dance which lasted until well into Friday morning. The world’s championship hay baling contest is an annual event of the association because the ter ritory included in the association is the greatest producer of commer cial wild hay in the entire world. Stuart itself is the second largest hay shipping point in the world, with Newport, a few miles to the west, first. In the hay baling con test each baling team is required to bale and pile two tons of loose hay, the scoring being on the time required, the neatness and weight, of bales, etc. A perfect score of 100 would nwan 67 perfect baled and piled bales of hay, weighing 70 pounds each. The Haskins and Schaffer team which won the con test scored 95 points. The second, team, that of the De Seive brothers,' scored 90 points, and the Pettijohn team which was third 89 point?. The last named team baled its two tons of hay in 15^ minutes, one minute less than did the winning team, but lost because of several broken bales and an overweight average. Ed J. DeSeive of Stuart won the world’s championship as a hay load^ er. Mr. DeSeive loaded four tons of baled hay on a hay rack, from two separate stacks of two tons each, in exactly, fifteen minutes, or less than four minutes to the ton. He also in that time tied down his load and then started his team before waving his hat' to the judges to sig nify that he was through. There were three experts hay loaders in this contest. Mr. DeSeive’s nearest opponent was five minutes behind him and the third contestant abandoned the effort when DeSeive mounted his load and yelled “Gid dap.” The world’s championship awards and the substantial purses accomp anying each were presented to the victors by Gov. Adam McMullen, while movie cameras recording the event for the federal department of agriculture, -the state university and the news reel services ground away. A battery of newspaper photograph ers also trained their cameras on the two^eventsJ’ Tb« world’s champion hay baling team is composed of John Haskins, back wirer; Elmer Schaffer, feeder, Ray Schaffer, tier, Ray Greenfield and William Jonas, pitchers. They will retain th£ title until the annual field day of the tri-county associa tion next fall, when they will be required to defend it against all comers. Prominent hay producers and buyers from all of the big mar kets of the country yearly attend the event. Fish’s Chang^ of Color As a quick-change artist the parrot fish has few Equals. Swimming about in the tropical waters, the parrot fish la a clear turquoise green during the daytime. Finding a quiet nook among the stones and weeds, Its color fades to a dull olive. Further changes go on whilst it sleeps. Numerous red dish brown spots appear on its body. Placed In an aquarium having a plain green bottom, the parrot fish re tains its coat of green and does not put on night clothes. But If a. few large stones are dropped Into the aquarium, corresponding blotches ap pear on the sleeping fish. The Glove in History The use of gloves dates back to re mote times. Xenophon sneered at the Persians for wearing gloves to keep their hands warm. The Greeks and Romans also scorned the use of gloves. The glove appears to have become n well-known article of dress In Eng land about the Fonrteenth century. The materials used for making leather gloves are principally the skin of deer, sheep and lambs, goats and kids, the j latter. being the most Important, ■ though far more kid gloves are made I "f sheep than of kid leather. ■■■■:,. gjaaraK. g; Sim Spalding’s Vacation By JANE OSBORN - - _ I l (Copyright.) QIMSON SPALDING had worked for the Bradley Building company for two years. He had dope all the tilings that are frequently said to tend to eventual success, and so far had remained on the bottom rung of the ladder. For all his industry and serious ness, Sim Spalding was something of an office funny man. Ills comments on office occurrences were never espe cially funny or clever when repeated, but immensely funny when uttered by Sim Spalding himself. Hose Atwood, who was secretary to Mr. Rogers, the president of the concern, found him especially amusing. SImson felt re sentful at tills sometimes, and again felt glad that le was able to amuse her. Otherwise he feured she would not have noticed him. "Where are you going to spend your vocation, Mr. Spalding?” she snid one morning in Juqe. “I know you will be original.” Sim son Spalding looked up gravely. “I’m going to spend ten days of the two weeks right here. I shall pretend for those ten days that I am someone of consequence, enough consequence to come in at half-past nine, ten—eleven, If I choose. And I shall, take two hours for lunch, If I like, and I shall read the paper at my desk and use the office phone to make dates for supper at the coun try club, and I shall knock off to play golf any afternoon f like. I'll have the thrill of pretending 1 amount to something. I once thought maybe I would some day. But I guess It Isn’t In me. So I um.going to pretend.” "Mr. Spalding,” she said one day shortly before Sim’s vacation. "It's none of my business, hut I’m going to give you a bit of advice. You aren’t going to make a bit of a hit with Mr. Rogers spending your vaca tion the way you said you Intended. -He’ll think that you are doing It be cause you want to make an Impres sion on 1dm. He won’t see the joke of It, and lie’ll despise you for It." "That’s something," said Sim. "Up to now he hasn’t regarded me of suf ficient Importance to do that." "But he may discharge you or some thing,” warned Rose, “What difference would that make —to you?" asked Sim with unexpected seriousness. “None to me, I suppose," she said. And before Shn could say any more she had sped out of the room toward her little office beside that of Mr. Rogers. Despite the warning, however, Sira began his vucatlon as ’>e had said he would. lie had a nr i suit and he v <we a white earaalio i in his button hole, and evvn carried a walking stick and smoked an expensive brand of cigarettes. A friend amnsed at the adventure, lent him a high-priced mo tor car for the ten days. And great was the diversion that SImson Spald ing offered to his associates. Two or three days had passed and Sira was still carrying out his plan. He had lunched until four and then re turned to his desk where he snt read ing the afternoon paper. At half past five nearly all the office force depart ed, but he remained. So did Rose At water and an office boy to finish up some late dictation. It was then that a distinguished looking middle-aged man entered the office. “I want to see a member of tlie Aim,” he demanded. “I am not willing to wait. It Is most Important. I—” “At your service—” said Mr. Spnld ng with a side wink at the oftlce boy. Thereupon the stranger sat down in close consultation with Mr. Spald ing. He wanted to build a house and he wanted tq build it right away- not a mere house hut a sort of castle on the outskirts of the city. Sim Spald ing forgot that lie was the olflee Joker ..laying a part. He caught the man's aieas promptly, made sketches, sug •“Stlons, talked prices and went to Vrr.cr with the rt aivwr. That eve ning in the moonlight he drove him, in his borrowed car, to look at a par cel of property owned by the concern on the outskirts of the city. He talked ns he never knew he could talk, making the stranger see tlje castle of his dreams already built. Next afternoon tlie deal was closed. The stranger signed the contract for tlie purchase of the porperty at a* high valuation and had aecepted^a tempo rary agreement with Spalding for the erection of u hundred-thousand-dollar mansion^ Spalding carried the deal to his su perior, Mr. Rogers. “lie wanted to see a member of the tlrm,” he confessed. "I beg pardon for forgetting my position.” "Mr. Rogers was looking over th* tentative agreement with knowing eye "Say, If you can close a deal like this In less than a day I guess you ought torbe a member of the firm If you’re not. And say—what’s come over you —good clothes, flower In your button hole, fast car—why, you always acted like a grubber until lately—” Outside Mr. Rogers’ door stood Rose Atwood waiting to greet Sim Spalding j when he came out. “I listened to what ! he said," she said, almost tearful with ! joy. ‘‘I was afraid he’d be cross. Oh, isn’t It wonderful? But it wouldn’t have made any difference to n.e. Sim—’’ “You meun you—yen* would hn»* , vwred for me—anyway—’’ "Anyway,” s.dd K<se Atwood FARM AND RANCH LOANS, 5 ANt> three-fourth per cent, no commis sion.—P. J.

More 9 *1 coming. Watch (or them. 19 Improving on History I jtist finished hearing a Politician, one of the Washington Boys, talk on Abraham Lincoln. The only thing I could picture in common between him and Lincoln was that they had both been in Washington. When a Politician aint talking about himself he is talking about Lincoln. Lincoln has had more Public men speak of his good qualities, and fewer copy any of them, than any man America ever produced. His famous address was only about two hundred words long. No Politician has ever been able to even copy his briefness^ In fact that is the last one of his qualities that they would try to copy. Lincoln said more in those 200 words than has been said in the entire City of Washington in the last 10 years, and here is a quality that no historian or speaker has ever brought out before. At the completion of the Gettysburg speech, he wisely refused one of Grant’s Cigars, and borrowed a sack of “Bull” Durham from an Ex Southern private, rolled his own, got on his Mule and went back to Washington. P. S. There will be another piece here two weeks from now. Look for it,
