Walla Walla broke even with

Walla Walla broke even with the
Sprasue team in the two games of
ball played in this city. Saturday the
Sprague team was presented with the
kind of errors and dumb ball playing,
but Sunday Tempany's men woke up
to the fact that they must do some
thing or the fans would turn their
backs upon them. AS a result of the

was Sprague Z, Walla Walla 4.
In the Saturday game Parkes pitched
for Walla Walla and the sturdy little
ball player did good twirling, but his
support was so ragged that he was
forced to see his hopes go glimmering
field easy victors.
Sundays Game.
Sundays game was a different affair.
1t was Walla Walla's game from the
start to the finish. Rummell was in
the box for Walla Walla and the way
he sent them over was a caution. He
held his opponents down to Z hits, and
barring the work of Maloney, he was
given the best of support. Poor Ma
loney, who was shifted from second
to short, was certainly suffering from
a bad attack of rattles and try as
hard as he could he was unable to
pick up the easiest kind of balls that
came into his territory. He fumbled
five balls that came to him in slow
manner and each time the batter was
enabled to reach first in safety. Ma
loney has not proved to be a good in
fielder so far this season. his only re-
deeming feature being his good stick
work. He can hit the ball, and he
can always be depended upon to
smash out a hit when it is needed

Salt for Cabbage Worms.

Paris green and lead arsenate will
eifectually destroy cabbage worms. but
in many cases those remedies have
proved to be quite as deadly to the hui
man consumer as to the worms and
most cabbage raisers, rather than put
human life in peril, resort to other less
effective remedies. In Germany fresh
wood ashes is largely used by sprink-
ling it on the cabbage while wet with
dew. but 10 Holland, salt is used eX
clusively. The method is to sprinkle
fine salt on the infested heads. From
the moment the salt is applied the
worms cease to feed and in an hour or
two they drop from the heads to the
ground. Results quite as good are OBJ
tanned when salt is dissolved il water
Applied with small syringe, the salt
is very unpleasant to the worms and
they will not stay where it is. The
salt does not kill them at once but it
does 50 eventually by eating into their
bodies and rendering them unable to
move. The salt, of course, washes off
every time the rain falls, but this also
happens with Objectionable poisons
which no prudent person will use.

TO DEMOCRATIC VOTERS
Democratic Congressional Committee Appeals
For Popular Subscriptions.

To ALL DEMOCRATIC VOTERS:-If
there ever was time in the history of
the Democratic party for the mani
festation of loyalty and patriotism on
the part of its members, it is right
now.
If we are to win victory and elect
president two years hence, we must
first elect House OF Representative
this fall. A Democratic House can
and will investigate every department
of the Government. With all of them
honeycombed by graft, the edges OF
which, only, have been touched by re-
cent exposure and prosecutions, there
will be a revelation of rottenness that
will astound the country, and create a
demand for a Democratic Administra.
ton to clean the Government work.
shop.
To win the House we need money to
defray legitimate expenses and get out
our vote. We have no protected mon
opolies from which TO draw to fill our
Golfers, as they do those of the Repub-
lican party. We must, therefore, ap-
peal to loyal Democrats for contribu-
tions.
Will you send us 81 at once, and in
return for this we will send you copies
of our campaign literature issued By
the Committee. You will have the
thanks of the entire Democratic party
for your favorable response to our re-
quest.
