nearly all of them being those dear old

Flick has stolen the most bases. Cal

Dougherty has scored more runs than
any other player.
The Athletics and Napoleons are tied
for the batting lead. and the same

Attention, Farmers.

Why remain in the north and stay
indoors six months in the year con-
Stunning what you raise during tho
other six months?
Go south where you can work out
doors every month in the year, and
where you are producing something
the year round. If you are stock
raiser you know your stock are now
'seating their heads off" and, besides,
have to be protected from the rigors
of winter by expensive shelter.
Economical stock feeding requires

and fat forming foods in certain pro-
nortions Alabama and Florida pro-

Five thousand of them are in the hands

If all these pasteboards are sold, it will
do much to put the association upon its

the jeans of the park organization to
shell out that much money. With the
that have been made and
the sale of tickets which should take

to believe that the park should be en-
tirely paid for and the entire indebi-
ture lifted off the team.
