Canaan Wins Again.

Last week the East Canaan base ball team were again possessed with the in sane idea that they could do the Ca naans, and accordingly they had our boys go up to the east village Saturday afternoon, where they were to eat us, Only once in the history of base bali has East Canaan won from Canaan and that was many years ago when our base ball editor was so small that he crswled through between the fence rails instead of over the top.
 The East street boys had strengthened their team by the addi- tion of Art Brinton, the crack twirler, but the hard hitters of our local team were not afraid of his name and they pounded the ball for 19 runs, winning the game as East Canaan only got II from Dodge and Nicoll. The score by innings:

great margin OF proat as there
once was In butter and cheese
making. and II the by-produc,s OF the
dairy room could be better utilized. or
the milk itself turned into new chan
nela, and made into somu Of what are
known as the fancles. or even dain-
ties, Il would seem that Il would be the
more profitable way. Now that this
country Is TO consume al Of its butter
and cheese. Il would suggest itself as
a business proposition that the meth
DDS Of manufacture take on wider
range. and instead Of just butter and
cheese. We should have q variety Of the
eheeses. and put up 10 its many fancy
forms. Last year. as low as was the
price Of cheese. this country imported
a million and a half dollars worth Of
fancy cheese from Europe. Why not
make this variety at home?
