SPORTING DOPE. .
William Dwyer, he of the smiling
phiz, showed up in Linktown the first
of the week, prepared to take hold
and show us a few things. We are
right here to be shown, too. Willie
of the Smile isn't claiming any pen
nants and things just now, not being
much given to braggadocio, but he
opines, after due consultation with U3,
that we're going to have some ball
club this year, and the team that cops
the bag has got to go a few. Billiaru
of the Grin is putting in his time get
ting a line of the pastimers, and mak
ing out a set of dope sheets for use
during the campaign. We are pinning
a lot of faith on Cachinnating Willus.
We have finally decided to instruct
our Mr. Despain to take our pastimers
down to Snickemore Springs, in Need
ing, Kansas, where they will be boiled
out and boiled down proper. We have
hopes that the water down there will
take a few kinks out of their systems
and put them into proper trim. A
few hours each day boiling out in
warm water and then hiking through
snowbanks 'leven feet deep ought to
make something out of 'em, by heck !
Our trouble now is not to find a
third sacker, but to decide between
some purty good material offered for
the position. What's aching us is to
get the right middle chaser, to replace
Mr. Cole, whom we have decided to
tie down on second base. What we
want is a man who can hit 'em to the
woods five times out of four, and run
bases like a small boy answering the
dinner bell. '
Here we are with the season's open
ing only a gunshot away, and snow
flakes as big as baseballs descending
as thick as applicants for season passes.
We have about decided to order a
few skiffs, canoes, pontoons and
launches for the use of the players
when they begin to practice on the
local lot.
Course we regret to lose Eddie
Cawnyer- but perhaps it is for the
best. Eddie was some shortstopper, all
right, but when it came to swatting
the sphere at the psychological moment
he was too often minus. Besides, every
day saw Eddie getting a bit older,
and so we decided to look about and
get a youngster whom we could train
up in the way he should go. How
ever, we confess that we didn't reach
this conclusion until after we ascer
tained that we just couldn't keep the
Frenchman from Detroit.

We are expecting some big things
of Paulopolis Cobb this season. He's,
got the reputation of the Cobbs to
keep up with, which will make him
speed up. Paulopolis is going to anchor
himself in a few weeks, and after that
we expect to see him devote more time
to baseball.
If the secretary of the Wichita club
really said he wanted some young un
married ball players who could do
the sassiety stunt, then the aforesaid
secretary ought to go out and have
his head bored for the simples. What
we need more than anything else is
ball players who can play baseball. We
old fellers will attend to the sassiety
stunt.
The Iowa teams in the Mink league,
having accumulated a case of con
gealment below the ankles, two or
three really alive Nebraska towns
have jumped in. With Beatrice,
Auburn, Falls City, Humboldt, Nebras
ka City, and Plattsmouth in Nebraska,
and Hiawatha in Kansas, we ought to
get up a league that would stick to the
finish and provide us with a lot of
mighty good ball.
Izzie Bell, the baldheaded eagle of
the Rockies, is being sadly handicap
ped by the weather. In addition , to
scuffing up his baldhcad the weather
is holding him back on the task of
erecting his four-dollar grandstand in
De Moiney. Maybe he could make a
deal for a second-hand grandstand
now useless in Pueblo.
Wee Willie McCormick informs us
that hell not be happy if he doesn't
lambast them at a .320 gait this sea
son. We have, poured our hopes into
Wee Willie's auriculars until we have
hopes we've got him ribbed up to
swipe the batting championship of the
loop.
The wrestling game has worn itself
out with its fat fakes from Turkey and
its stalling stunts from elsewhere. The
public is tired of being made the
goat.

CHEER UP i
Yes, these c- .tinuet snows have
been pretty disagreeable but they are
worth he tumble. They mean big
crops, and we need 'em. '
And there's every , ascn to be
glad because spring hasi? :t been sprung
quite so early as usual. Last year,
and the year before, a i l then some
more years, spring eame along, about
the first of March, and then when the
buds had swelled along came old John
Frost and raised merry hades with
things. It doesn't look as if John
Frost would be guilty this year.
And last year we started off the
growing season short on wetness. No
complaints on that score this spring.
We might kick a bit on having so
much, but we will not. We can use all
of it, even if it does come along so fast
that some of us will have to hike to
the high hills to keep our tootsies from
getting wet.
It looks as if we were going to have
a stem winding good year, don't, it?
Cheer up ! What's the use of aching
around because you can not make the
weathe to suit you. Isn't it a bless
ing that we don't have the running of
the weather! Just about the time some
of us put in an order for a sunny day
so we could have a picnic, along
would come some fellow and wet us
down by putting in an order for a
copious shower. Then we'd get all
snarled up and say naughty things and
disturb the peace and quiet of the
neighborhood.
We've learned the foolishness of,
worrying about things we can not
help and the things we can help. We
have just naturally quit worrying
at all. When we can't smile and look
pleasant we immure ourselves in a
quiet room and take our grouch out
on the old teypwriting machine. And
when we've finished hammering out a
red-hot roast on something or some
body we read it over and then drop
it into the wastebasket. By that time
we're in a good humor and 'can go
right along writing good things Pbout
good people and about Grand Young
Nebraska.
Try the plan. And let's keep cool,
and sweet and pleasant. And above
all, let's keep right on standing up
for Nebraska!
THE POPCORN, COUNTRY.
The greatest popcorn growing coun
try in this republic is right here in
Nebraska, and happens to be located in
Valley and Greeley counties, with
North Loup, as the center of the trade,
Popcorn by the thbusands of bushels
is raised in this section every year and
shipped to all parts of the state. And
every year a "Popcorn Festival" is
held in North Loup, and believe us
it is some celebration. Then it is that
the buyers flock in from all parts of
the country, f there are games galore,
plenty of refreshments and a gala
good time. . The popcorn industry is
growing by leaps and bounds, and
North Loiip is becoming known around
the world as the center of the , indus
try. Popcorn doesn't appear in the
itemized totals of the state's produc
tions, but it is there just the same, and
it means hundreds of thousands of dol
lars to the growers.

Will Maupin's Weekly, the
best single-handed booster Ne- -
braska has or ever had, came
out in a blaze of glory last
week with its "Nebraska In-
dustries Number." Twenty- :
four pages carried an immense ;
amount of highly " interesting
matter regarding the resources,
attractions and opportunities of
Nebraska, and also numerous ad-
vertisements of manufacturing
concerns who make good goods
in Nebraska and are not afraid
to let people know it.
Will Maupin ought to be put
on the state's payroll for life as

THE WESTERN TRADER.
OMAHA.
Will Maupin's Weekly, Lincoln,
Nebr. Yesterday for the first
time we saw a copy of your Ne
braska Industries number. It
impressed us as being of great
value in advertising the various
industries of ' this . great state,
and also in encouraging the
many manufacturing concerns
now here to greater efforts in
marketing their products in
trade territory farther distant
from Nebraska. Keep up the
good work. . Nebraska manu
factures are increasing bnt the
many ; manufacturing institu
tions located within the borders
of this state need more adver
you' 'are ' doing your part" in
giving: wide publicity to them
and to their, wares.
We are also glad to see the
fine write-up articles of both
Omaha and Lincoln in the same
issue of your paper. Anything
that will add to the commercial
friendship of these two cities is
to be commended, and we are
glad that you and your Weekly
are taking part in this good
work that will redound to your
everlasting credit and to the
benefit of Omaha, Lincoln and
the entire state. '
, Wishmr your Weekly the.
greatest financial success and
extending to you personally the .
compliments of the season, we ,
remain, Yours very truly;
