Betts and give him custody of 5
minor children, Vincent E., Velva
and Inez Betts, who have expressed
a preference for their father, while
Cynthia Betts, another minor was
given into the custody of the moth
er and defendant Mrs. Lena Betts.
The court found that both of the
parents the plaintiff and defendant
were persons suitable to have
charge of the children. Further the

ferring lands from the plaintiff to
the defendant, and also requires the
return of a certain note given by the

Zimmerman, and family at Omaha

GETS GOOD YIELD
ALFALFA SEED
From Tuesday's Daily.
Philip E. Tritsch in threshing his
alfalfa for seed at the last cutting
from a field which contained ten
acres, received o9 bushels which
makes nearly ten bushels to the acre
or for the ten acres at the current
price of first class seed, $985.00 or
paying for the seed alone, not count
ing the number of cuttings of hay
$9S.."0 per acre. Is it any wonder
the farm lands are so valuable. It
takes good farming and good care of
lie crops, when the land and in
vestment cost so much to farm. Just
now one cannot send a team which
mostly consist of four horses and
equipment to the field for a days
work, with less than an investment
of from twelve to fifteen hundred
dollars. The return must need be
liberal to make the farming safe.

THE "BAWL" GAME
HELD LABOR DAY
WE DO NOT REFER TO THE BASE
BALL GAME BUT SOMETHING
IN ITS PLACE.
MORE OF A CONFIDENCE GAME
Than a Ball Game, Everybody Seem
ed Satisfied and Some
More Even.
From Tuesday's Daily.
We wondered when Paul Stadle
man was looking for some one to
bet five dollars with on Patti-mouth.
what kind of an aggregation the
Woodman of the World was going to
send down here. We waited for a
long time, for they got lost and
went down to the south side of
town, and well it would have been
for them if they had never returned.
Really it looked at first like
some one had torn down the fences
around some Tubercular Sanitarium,
and the patients had gotten out.
But when they sfarted we opened
our eyes for they acted like real
ball players, and the first two in
nings, the fans were promised a
good game, but the illusion was soon
dissolved, for in the third inning
Stimpson upset the boat, when ho
made a run. McCarthy then was not
satisfied and he made a run. and
Grassman had to have one also, then
Herold had to have one too. Well
that spoiled the whole thing. Tho
visitors saw images of victory float
off in the air and dissolve. The next
inning three more scores were add
ed, then six in the fifth, then two
in the sixth while the seventh wa
one two three, and no runs made.
in the'eighth three more was added
making eighteen runs. At the end
of the ninth inning the visitors had
not made a run, and so they quit
and gave the game to the home
team.
We always thought pretty well of
the home team, but really they
should not have robbed a set of little
school boys out of their Joy of get
ting a single run. It seemed like
taking candy away from a kid, but
it is all gone by now. This is J he
