Volume XXXIX WAHPETON, RIOHLAND COUNTY, NOftTH DAKOTA, THURSDAY, JUNE 17th, 191S I BASE BALL FOR THE COMING WEEK Fergus Falls on Friday, Orton ville oh Sunday, Havana on Tuesday HANKINS0N~0ir THE 23rd DeLamere on the 24th, Thursday, Constitutes all the Qames Ahead So Far The B-W's will again go back to Fergus Falls tomorrow where they will do them honor. The boys of the local team feel that they can again take the measure of that team and make the suit in any style to jit. Although the last suit was a close fit, it was of the tight-fitting English cut variety and it weathered through nicely in the 9 innings of time. Though the local boys had to scrap the marrow from out of the bones, they came last Friday ev ening satisfied that they, had en ough to fill their cravings. Now this time they want to show that hunch of fence busters that des sert is proper for any meal and intend to get all-they-can. The automobiles that carried them there last Friday had to be left in storage on the account of the wet weather that appeared immediately after the game. On this trip the cars will be brought ascension of the mighty and when tournament which is going to be well of her prowness. If you have Ortonville Here Sunday" They come to demonstrate their ability to the Breckenridge Wahpeton Ball Team at Island Park Sunday afternoon, that they can play this great American game of base ball in real style. That they can seems true by the record they have made this season so far, but you never can tell. How David smote Goliath is a matter of history how Achilles was dipped into the river Styx and made the whole world trem ble at his deeds may be the case from now on by the dipping into the river Styx of the local team by that unfermented bunch of broncho busters from Hankinson Old "Orton" comes here Sun day and will make the dust fair ly raise in clouds so groat that will probably make you think that there is a total eclipse on Ihe sun and wonder why the'Otter Tail Power Co. don't turn on the electric lights, so you won't fall into the Red river that has at this time of writing over-flowed its banks. The locals have pre pared for this cloud of dust by putting automatic oil sprayers in their trapways so when they s.neeze the oil will settle the dust and the man will be caught nap ping off from first flfs lie won't lie able to see the ball cumins*. The first baseman is going to have a set of strings, one from each player, and when they throw the ball, the player will yank Ihe'cord and First Baseman Boll will catch it and put it on the runner. That it will be a great game there is no doubt and the Mag nates of War on both sides have fortified their forces to their very best ability, and the gun will roar and bayonet charges, with flags of truce to bury the dead. Mgr. Ward has departed for the east and the local forces will •now be generated by Lefty Faust, that Auburned haired hurler who has done the heaving for the loc als, for the past two weeks. Havana Tuesday Not Havana where Jack John son met his Waterloo, but Havana, North Dakota and many ball teams that have met that bunch acted worse than Jack did for they couldn't even stay 9 -rounds of fighting. They merely gave up the ghost when they started to limber up. Whether the B-W's will meet their Waterloo remains to be seen. We don't think they will but you can never tell. Havana plays Hankinson Sunday and Monday and then comes here on Tuesday. So be out there and help the boys by swinging a towel or giving them a rub-down when they come to their corner. At Hankinson on the 23rd Hankinson who has been the bone of contention of the local team for some time will disappear into the mysteries of Aladdin's lamp. How can she help it, when the rejuvenated B-W's appear on their diamond and pull their ear. nose and leg. Hankinson has got the opinion that all she needs is nine uien, whether they work on the section or out on the farm and put them in ball suits and defeat the locals. But in this her imaginations has wandered so far that when they imagine any thing more than once^they will (Continued on page 8) BENEFIT DAYS AT THE BEE HIVE Through the Courtesy off the Man agement of the Bee Hive Store EIGHT LOCAL SOCIETIES Have Taken the Privilege Thus Offered for the Benefit off Their Soeiety The management of .the Bee Hive Store has given over to the eight different societies benefit days. These days are for each one to receive a certain per cent of the profits of the goods sold. This shows the liberality of this store. In doing this, this store is not on ly aiding the different societies in cash money, but in getting the general public more interested in their work in the future. The Congregational Ladies' Aid held their day Tuesday and were more than pleased with the re 'sults. The Methodist Ladies' Aid held their day yesterday at which a large number of friends took ad vantage to help their society. The St. John's Ladies' Aid will hold their sale next Tuesday, June 22nd. The Women's Literary Society Day will be held on Wednesday, the 23rd of this month. The Trinity Oiuild of the Epis copal Church will hold their day on Thursday, June 24th. The Breckenridge Ladies' Aid' hold their sale on Friday, June 25th. On Tuesday, June 29th the Civ ic Improvement Society will hold their Benefit sale at this store. II seems an appropriate time to ask the people of Wahpeton to bear in mind that the purpose of this benefit is the improvement of the city—not a benefit for the com mittee. Every penny that has been Nl received is, and will be, accounted for. The ladies of the city, through their enthusiastic efforts in giv ing "Civic Teas" have enabled the committee to pay entirely for the wprk dpne*_at5vtji£ A^jnory. to fur nish $«edfta^ plants' to those who asked for them and to pay in part for the prizes to be given to the children. Mor^money is need ed, however, to carry on the work. The Library Society will have a benefit day on the 30th of this month, Wednesday.
