Be in Earnest.

1t matters not in what yoca-
ton Of life we may be employed,
there are a few rules of living
which we should always bear in
mind. Among them we would
give first place TO the admonition
BE in earnest. Be yourself;
do not try to initiate someone
else, or try TO do as someone else
does, but have an irresistible
personality all your own; have
an object in view; make up your
mind what you want to do, lay
plans for it, and then "stick to
it,. If you are farmer and like
farming, wish to make it a sue
cess, wish to make it pay be
enthusiastic over your work do
not get discouraged just because
some little thing goes wrong but
persevere, and you will surely be
rewarded. No matter how
small a thing may seem. do it
we'll. There is nothing on earth
that "is worth doing" at all,
but that sis worth doing we'll.
Have confidence in yourself; be-
lieve in yourself; believe in your
own ability; do not allow the
thought to enter your mind that
you are inferior to anyone else;
do not say to yourself when you
have completed a task, 1T is
good enouth for me when you
want it to be good enough for
anyone else on earth. About
everything on a farm, or IN any
other business for that matter,
the one thing which will bring
success scorer than anything else
is the keynote, DO. These
two little words, do" and
well" constitute one of the
safest and soundest Of the bus
mess foundations. President
Roosevelt sounded a note along
this same line in one ofhis recent
speeches, in which he said, in
effect: "The highest ideal OF
American citizen is he who seeks
not so much to do the great
things, as he who willingly and
uncolnplainingly does the little,
everyday hundrum duties of life
well ., Take time to be sociable
endeavor Away to see the best
side oflife; be always ready to
give, as your means will allow to
good enterprises, and you find
that you are ready when the OPP
portunlty persent. itself to enjoy
the good things" of life, and
that your undertakings are a full
rounded i success Lewis Kel-

DUCKS MAY BE KILLED
ON FEBRUARY FIRST
Under the Wording of the Game Law
the Season Does Not End Until
Sundown of That Day.

Sportsmen who enjoy a day on the
marsh after ducks have been eagerly dis
cussing the date on which the open sea-
son will end. The law reads: Every per-
son who. between the first day of Feb
ruary and the first day of October. kills
or has in his possession etc. The mat
ter was submitted to Chief Deputy
Charles A. Voeelsang of the State Board
of Fish Commi ssioners. He said:
Under the wording of the game and
fish laws ducks may be killed until one
half hour after sundown on February ].
Game found IN the possession of any-
body on the morning of the I'd of Feb
ruary, however, will be confiscated. If.
as you tell me, this subject is being dis
cussed by gunn en- L consider it a hopeful
sign of an awakening of interest In game
preservation. II sportsmen throughout
the State will give the preserving of game
a little of their attention for the remain
ing S64 days of the year no one will be-
grudge them the extra days shooting
which they secure under the wording of
the law
The members of the Empire Gun Club
will make extensive improvements in
their Monterey preserves for next sea-
son. Ponds will be formed and baited
and better shooting is expected. At the
beginning of this season all kinds of
ducks were there, but they left in quest

RIVAL LEAGUES
MAY SHORTLY
DECLARE WAR
Peter Lohman Is Watching
the Progress of Likely
Lads in Amateur Ranks
Charley Reilly Signs With
Milwaukee and Keeps 1t
Quiet for Many Months

~ FFICIALS of the Northwestern
and Of the Pacific Coast baseball
~ leagues seem to be calmly await
ing developments in the present
struggle for supremacy. The men from
the northern league are doing a lot of
talking and are making many threats as
to how they intend to conduct their fight
against the opposition league.
The magnates of the Pacific Coast or
ganization pay little attention to the
threats and say they are not in the least
disturbed over the impending conflict.
They claim to have everything their own
way and say when the season opens they
will be masters Of the situation and that
the Northwestern League will simply be
forced to retire from the fight, as it will
be in a hopeless cause.
Meanwhile the work Of signing players
for the coming season appears to be pro-
crossing at a fair rate. The officials of
the San Francisco club announce that the
team is complete with the exception of
the pitching department, an outfielder and
a utility man. Manager Harris has done
exceedingly well in getting his team in
shape at such an early date. He should
be able to get a crack bunch together IL
he keeps on at this rate.
The Oakland management does not
seem to be making rapid strides in secur-
ing talent for the season of 1903. Peter
Lohman will probably manage the team
for another season, but he may yet
change his mind and accept one of the
numerous other offers which he has re-
ceived. Kid Mohler will surely stay and
Pitcher Graham is also said to have come
to terms.
In the meantime Peter is doing a lot of
still hunting in the ranks of the amateurs.
He is closely watching the progress of
the youngsters in the Players League and
has his eyes on several promising ones.
One is a pitcher, while the others play in
field and outfield positions. Lohman in
tends to condition his team at Fresno
again this year. He will take along a
big bunch and pick out the best perform
erS.
1t appears Charley Reilly came to terms
with Joe Cantillon Cf the Milwaukee
team a month before the latter came out
to the coast with the American League
stars Reilly received a fat offer from
Cantillon, which Morley refused to meet.
1t will be difficult task for the southern
magnate to replace Reilly at the third
sack.
So far the magnates Of the league have
not come to terms with Umpires O'Connell
and Mcdonald Each is in receipt of
swell offers from several other leagues.
One thing is certain and that is the two
umpires will have to get whole lot more
money than Athey received last year or
else the fans will see them not.
