The first ball game of the season at
Sonestown was played on Memorial
Day and resulted in a defeat for the
Muncy Valley team at the hands of
the local club, the score being 4 to |.
The Sonestown team supported
their pitcher in fine style while the
tannery boys by reason of their bad
fielding threw the game away.
The features of the game were the
constant kicking af the Muncy Val
ley team and the sensational pitch
ing of Starr who struck out 10 men
and allowed only 3 hits. Fensta-
maker also pitched good game,
pulling himself out of some very
bad holes and although Sonestown
had men on base in every inning eX'
cept the second, they were only able
to make four runs.

The more pleasing and pleasant our
can make farm life the
better it is for the government.
Oar cities are over crowded with
worthless loafers that might be
honorable and respectable farmers.
The rural route is one of the things
that has been provided to make farm
life more desirable and attractive,
and aS we all have to live off the
farmers nothing should be left un-
done that can be done to make the
farm inviting.

thorough familiarity with the subjects
Said former member OF
the state legislature: Il AIN surprised
at the ability manifested on the part
of the delegates in their discussions. l
had no idea they were so we'll posted
on so many public questions And yet
why should they not be: We have long
been told that the farmer should think
more for himself and not let some one
else do his thinking for him. There are
evidences that the farmer Is getting bis
eyes open to the situation and is think
ing and acting for himself and his
own interests more than ever before.
In most interesting ten minute talk
DR.. Jordan. chief of the New York
state experiment station, spoke along
the line above suggested. Il some
times wonder" he said, "if this body
fully realizes it's influence and responsi-
bility. You rs farmers represent very
largely public opinion. Pubic men
and politicians are watching your
movements, and that means that your
opinions ought to be about right. Ii
means much to hold sound and rational
views OH public matters" And this Is
particularly true of the farmer who
Is In the grange.
The attitude of the grange toward
education in all its phases is mos'
commendable. Education is the cor
nerstone of the grange. 1t believes IL
1t, 1t advocates It and 1t recommends

The destruction of the forests Of the
United States i called sharply 70 the
attention Of Congress by the New York
Sun in the following words; Within
the last ten years we have exported
about S5o0,oOo,000 worth of forest prod
ucts. The greater part Of this was
shipped in the form Of lumber. Such
trade is Of more than doubtful advan-
tage to the country. It is true that
our exports are only about 10 per cent
of our total cut, but that 10 per cent
is needed right here at home The to-
tai value Of our lumber and timber prod
ucts IN 1000, the latest census year, was
s566.ooo,0o0. IT is probable that it IS
now largely in excess Of that amount.
At the present pace our timber re-
sources win soon be exhausted, and we
!hall have no wood for export and only
limited and costly supply for domestic
use." As . remedy The sun suggests
the treatment proposed by the Earl Of
Belmont, governor Of New York in
1900, who stated that everyone who cuts
down tree should be compelled to plant
Ave or six young trees TO keep mp the
FOREST growth. II Il with a realization
Of the above conditions that the Yer.
mont forestry commission and those who
look into the future desire to do every.
thing possible for the preservation Of
even the Christmas trees Of the state.
