THE PRESIDENT is INVITED.
Effort Being Made TO Have HIM
Attend The Army Navy
Football Game.

Representative of both the naval
and military academies have Joined
in an invitation to President Roose-
welt To be present al the Arny-Navy
football game at Franklin Field. Phil
adelphia, on December !. and it is
hoped that Il viii be accepted. The
President is expected to take the
matter up as soon as he returns from
Panama. However. as this will be
on the 29th OF the month, his plans
will have to be made quickly, n he
decides to attend the game. Never
theless. il is hoped that he will at
tend.
The onlyeAnmy- Navy football game
which was attended by President
Roosevelt was that in 1901. The Pres
ident occupied a box on the Army side
of the field during onc-half of the game
and one on the Navy side during the
other lie crossed the field during tn
intermission. Boxes are being re-
served by the authorities of both insti-
tutions for the President TO occupy IL
be decides TO see the game. The dis
tribution of tickets for the game by
the executive committee of the Navy
Athletic Association, Commander u.
b. Howard, chairman, has begun.
Only a few have been distributed so
far and the distribution viii continue
until about a week before the game.
The Navy has 5000 tickets TO dis
tribute, Slightly more than previous
ly. but the demands have more than
kept pace with the increasing number.
OF the 5000 seats 5000 are ON the
north stand, which parallels the field,
and tbs other 5000 are on the end
stands. OF the 5000 more desirable
seats nearly 1000 will be taken by
the brigade of mids hipmen and the
band, SO that only about 1000 re-
main for distribution. The first choice
will of course, be given TO the mem
bers of the Navy Athletic Associa-
ton, composed of naval officers all
over the world. These have the in
terest of Naval Academy athletics
more at heart than anyone else and
the entire funds for the support of it
comes from them and from the mid
shipmen. However, even the allowance
To officers and midshipmen viii not
be large.
When these imperative demands are
met thera will be only comparable
ly few tickets left for general distribu-
ton. The time for the receiving of
closed on November /,
and up to that time there had been an
increased number of applications over
last year. The committee Will do the
best it can to distribute the tickets
that remain as fairly as possible.

THE
THE
NEW YORK WORLD
THRICE-A-WEEK EDITION.
Read Wherever the English Language
is spoken.

The Thuce-a-Week World was brilliant
success in the beginning and has been
steadily growing ever since. Time is the
test of all things, and has set its seal of ap-
proval on the Thrice-a- Week World, which
is widely circulated in every State and Ter
ritory of the Union, and wherever there are
people who can read our mother tongue.
This paper for the year 1908, will make
its news service, if possible, more extern
sive than ever. All events of Importance,
no matter where they happen, are reported
accurately and promptly.
The subscriber, for only one dollar year
gets three papers every week and more
news and general reading than most great
dailies can furnish at five or six times the
price.
The Thrice-a-Week World is absolutely
fair in its political news. Partisan bias is
never allowed to affect its news columns,
and Democrat and Republican alike can
obtain in its pages truthful accounts of all
the great political campaigns.
In addition to all the news. the Thrice-a-
Week World furnishes the best serial fiction,
elaborate market reports and other features
of interest.
The Thrice-a- Week Worlds regular SUBJ
scription price is only $100 per year and
this pays for 1856 papers. We offer this UNI
equaled newspaper and THE SMYRNA TIMES
together one year for $1.75. The regular
subscription price of the two papers is So. 90

ice. In harvesting ice sharp tools and
celebrity are of Importance in view of
sudden weather changes.
Snow ice, if in heavy coating, should
be removed either by snow ice planer
ON the field or cut away as the cakes
are being sent to the icehouse. In lay
ing out your ice field be sure to select
ice of the finest quality possible. After
the ice tract is determined Il heavy
cord is run between two stakes. Along
this as guide the hand plow is passed,
thus defining the line to be cut in the
ice. A horse marker is then inserted
in the groove thus made, cutting three
inches into the ice.
The field is paralleled by these
grooves, and then the plows are start
ed, the ice being penetrated to within
about four inches of the bottom Of the
ice. The same operations are made in
lines running at right angles with those
first laid out, thus cutting the field
into regular blocks. If the snow ice
plane is to be used the field is worked
in one direction only.
Care should be taken that the chan
nels are kept open. Braces will be
needed should the current be strong.
After your channel is made the ice is
sawed and barred off.-American Agri-
culturist.

stropping a Razor.

''The idea that razor needs frequent
grinding or honing is not in keeping
with my experience" said a man who
shaves himself L have a razor that
got ten years ago which has never been
out Of my possession, never had any
other treatment than stropping, and is
today the sharpest and best of six. A
razor can only be kept in this condition
without honing. however, by using q
hard strop-that is, one which is rigid
s-ins9sA1-6f flexible and not the kind
that makes an are of circle when you
use it, This latter sort win sharpen a
razor for awhile, but it also makes the
edge round until at last it ceases to cut.
Why do l have six razors? Well, that
Is to use them in regular turn and give
each one of them rest. l shave every
day, which l find the least troublesome
method, and if l use the same blade
every day it would soon play out. The
edge of a razor needs rest, just like
every other machine"

ICE CUTTING.

Sharp Tools and Quick Work ImPOr-
tant-IianGy Implements.
A favorite thickness for cutting ice
Is fourteen inches, but often eight inch
ice is stored satisfactorily. If snow
covers the lied it can be removed by
a one horse scraper. Beware of sudden
1haws. as water standing on the ice
soon causes it to rot. A field thus
covered can be tapped in a number of
places, and the surface water will
sink and raise the ice. The auger here
illustrated is useful in this work; also

sugnr Beet Irrigntion.

The following conclusions are derived
from observation of methods Of irriga-
ton with sugar beets near Rocky Ford,
Colo:
Winter irrigation and early seeding
favor a good stand.
narrowing or cultivation after rain
or irrigation is essential.
The cross lateral system is the most
successful layout.
Silt is not considered a benefit to
land and, though it aids hasty irriga-
ton, does not raise the duty of water.
An average irrigation is six inches.
The total depth of water required is
not more than two feet, including rain
fall
The cost of applying water is SO
small as 70 make neglect and excessive
waste inexcusable.

RAISING A FEW CHICKENS.
Helpful Suggestions For Amateurs In
Poultry Culture.

EOSAtry culture.
Following is a summary of sugges-
lions from the Connecticut Storrs ex-
pertinent station of value to the many
people who raise a few chickens for
their own use or for local market:
Much depends upon the selection of
eggs for Matching Eggs for this pur-
pose should be of uniform shape and
size and thickness of shell. Rough
shelled, dirty and notified eggs with
thin shells should be excluded. There
Is some doubt as to the ACCESSIBILITY
of setting small eggs. While it is
possible that they may be as fertile
and produce as many chicks as larger
eggs, it is probable that pullets from

weeks old when placed in the incu-
bator, as rule they cannot be expect
ed to hatch well after they are ten
days old"
