Our rural carrier is taking his vacation and Deputy Chester Nelson is on the job. The of Wheatfield is now being improved by the addition of a new furnace. The rain here Sunday night and Monday was very fight and not what the farmers needed. Peregrine, the merchant of Tefft, will soon have his new residence ready for occupancy. Lee Fisher, now a druggist ’of Ridgeville, is nicely located and is doing a good business. Enos Hibbs, who has the grade filling at Baum’s Bridge, will soon have his contract completed.

over the Schrader store. It is ever thus. We notice a few boys around Wheatfield about 12 or 13 of age. with a cigaret in their mouth. What is the use of laws if not enforced? F. W. Fisher and wife returned Monday from a visit at Ridgeville, Richmond, Marion and Wabash. Mr. Fisher found the political conditions favorable to Democratic success. A brother-in-law at Wabash, ■who has worked for the Big Four railroad for twenty-four years and who has for the past six years held the office of financial secretary of the Brotherhood of Firemen and Engineers, informed us that he did not know of a single member who would vote for Hughes. They believe Wilson is their friend and will support him to a man. He also said that it was the understanding’ that should Hughes win there would be a strike called in the near future. A labor and industrial parade at Richmond carried banners on which was inscribed, “We never did it before but will vote for Wilson this time.” Men who we have known for . thirty years and who would in the past hardly recognize a Democrat, are in the Wilson column. We found conditions encouraging all along the line.

Jim reports that a fellow has to be pretty close-

mouthed in Vancouver if he wants to stay out of jail and enjoy the privileges of liberty. No war talk goes there, and returned wounded soldiers are on every hand, some with legs, some with arms and some even with heads missing, so he says. However, they had a mighty nice trip and enjoyed every minute of it. Mr. and Mrs. Martin Donohue and Mrs. S. F. Douglas of south of town autoed to Lafayette Sunday to attend the funeral of James Smith, who formerly resided near this place. The serves were held Monday moaning. Miss Callie Bonner and •her new Overland had a frightful experience the other day. Not having driven very long she had not learned that the Overland could not run on its reputation like a flivver, but must need have gas. She was serenely sailing along at the terrific rate of fourteen and a half miles an hour, when her engine began to call for gas, gave a few minor coughs, and then with, one dying gasp and a loud pop, died. The last explosion was enough to unnerve the most steady driver and .Callie was just sure that the muffler had blown off. A passerby brought her into town, and after ascertaining that gasoline was' all the car needed, it was refilled and sailed home with perfect rythm. Fire broke out in the bakery department of Bowman’s restaurant about 9 o’clock Wednesday morning. It did not get much headway before discovery and was put out by a few buckets of water. However, the fire company sqaked the ceiling and roof up well with water as a precautionary measure. The fire originated in an overheated proof box. The work of repairing the burned out Lyric room seems to be dragging along in getting started. Manager Spencer is anxiously awaiting the needed repairs, necessary to reopen the show, and as this is the best season of the year for his business is losing money every day. He will open the show immediately .upon completition of the necessary repairs.

RED SOX WIN TITLE, 4 TO 1

42,000 Fans See Boston Capture the Championship. DODGERS ARE HELD TO 3 HITS Brooklyn Makes First Hit Off Shore in Fifth When Myers Drives Over Pitcher’s Head—Errors Help Score. FACTS ON THE FIFTH GAME. Official attendance.42,62o Total receipts $83,873.00 National commission’s share. 8,387.30 Clubs’ share 75,485.70 Each club’s share 37,742.85 Braves’ Field, Boston, Oct. 13. —Before the greatest crowd that ever witnessed a professional ball game the Boston Red Sox annexed their fourth World’s championship. A vast throng, numbering 42,620 wild-eyeVl fans, saw the "Sox down the Brooklyn Dodgers, 4 1, in the fifth game of the 1916 title tussle, It registered the Sox'sfourth victory and clinched the title for them. To Ernie Shore, elongated right-hand-er of the Sox, went the honors of stowing away the championship. He is the only pitcher to be credited with two victories in the series. Only Three Hits Off Shore. Shore was master of the Dodgers; holding them to one run and three hits. This kinky right-hander has reached a crest in baseball’s high peaks of fame. He was a- slab hero of last season’s

classic. Duffy Lewis again figured prominently in a world’s series as a heavy swatter. It was Lewis’ three-bagger that enabled him to score with the tying run in the second inning, when GardneY /hoisted a sacrifice fly to Wheat. The Dodgers had scored the first run without the aid of a base hit or a fielding error in the second inning. Sartors Costly to Dodgers. Fielding errors by Cutshaw and Olson let in two runs in the third and clinched the game for Boston., Hooper singled in the fifth and scored on Janvrin’s- double to left. Charles Ebbetts, president of the Brooklyns, headed the nrocession marching about Braves’, field after the game. The features of the game were: The first run made by the Dodgers in the second inning was scored without the aid of a base hit or a fielding error. Lewis was at a disadvantage in the second inning with two strikes on him, when he slammed a curve. It was a liner to deep left. The ball took a bound away from Wheat. Thrilling Stop by Gardner. Gardner’s thrilling stop of Olson’s wicked bounder in the second, also his splendid stop and throw of Moyrey’s bad bounder in the fifth. Shore fanned Hi Myers, the first man to face Shore on three pitched balls. Wheat’s hair-raising running catch of Shore’s low-line drive in the fifth frame robbed the tall Red Sox pitcher of a base hit. Brooklyn. A8.R.8H.88.P0.A.E.
