The merchants and the clerks have
decided formally and fully the ques-
ton OF superiority which had hung
fire SINCE last year. They met on the
Buchtel field Tuesday afternoon and
played sixnnlng game of ball,
which resulted In voctory for the
merchants, with score OF s to 3. All
the scores were made In the first three
innings and the end Of the game was
display of careful and excellent
piaying by both teams. About $50
people We're there.
Heisler and Brownell We're in the
points for the merchants and Stein
metz and Price pitched to Polsky's
catching for the clerks. What was
probably the feature of the game was
a home run over left field fence which
was made by II. A. Upham of the mcr-
chants team. The game was called
at 4 o'clock. 1t took several innings
for the teams to settle down to busi-
ness but when the settling was over
the game was well worth seeing. The
runs Were punched and the game deve-
loped into an interesting contest he
fore 1t ended.
The next game between these two
teams will be played next year at
the same place. Charly Morton un-
rired to the general satisfaction of
both sides. A neat sum was realized
from the sale of tickets and gate re-
oolpts and this win he devoted to
the Labor Day celebration of the
clerks.

AN INTERESTING FOWL FAMILY

the record for the year of 1917 eggs.
The other hen is known by the name
of "Tooksall," and few days ago
celebrated her semi-annual birthday
by continuing business at the old
stand, and thus far with record
equal to that of Peggy, which she may
possibly be able to beat. Both hens
are of the Plymouth Rock variety,
tame, lovable, singing all the time,
and genuine pets. "Tooksalr' has
record not enjoyed by the other hen,
and with a history as interesting.
"Tooksall" and "Tom," one OF the
ugliest roosters that was ever known.
can be denominated twins, as they
both emerged from the shell in al
together violent manner not COM
mon in chickendom. The nest was in
the loft of the barn of County Clerk
Hughes. and in some manner the two
eggs rolled away from the mother hen
and fell through a hole in the floor
below. For some unaccountable rea-
son the mother hen refused absolute
ly to have anything to do with the
two chicks and so alone and forsaken
they were taken TO the house and
cared for by Mrs. Hughes daughter
Mae, who made pets of them, and
dubbed them the 1.-TWO Orphans" by
which name they are generally known
now. From pets they became nui-
sance and bother to Mrs. Hughes,
and she threatened TO kill them, when
Miss Mae brought them to her grand
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Burnett.
"Tooksall" celebrated st. Patrick's
day by laying her first egg, and this
she has missed only five days since.
"Tom" is the terror of the small
children of the vicinity, and is never
so happy as when engaged in scrap.
There is no fear in him, and men and
women are the same to him as chill
dren. Dogs and cats are favorites with
him for fight, and there is no in
stance yet on record of his defeat.

"What shall we do for the baby?"
was often asked in a certain West

tainly the baby needed something. 1t

was insufficient, and still II was too

food" said the mother.
"Yes," SAID the father, "he could

SO a week al least to supply him with
baby food, and l get only $40 a

"But you are not going to let him

"No, will manage TO get IT," he
said. III you will press my suit,

"What has the suit to do with it?'
she asked.
