WORLD’S TITLE
AS HAY BALERS
WON AT STUART
The Haskins and Schaffer hay
haling team of Stuart, Neb., is the
fastest five man hay-baling team in
the world. 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.

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

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,
