CENTER POINT.

We'll, we come in with the same old news as regards the drouth.
 The corn is being cut in some fields, in others the fodder is being pulled. l reckon we will make half crop of corn. Cotton is now opening with the boil about half grown, so if it don't rain soon the colt on will be worse fallur e than the corn. The hay crop has burn ed up. Now, don't believe because 1 have written such dark picture that we do not believe there is way of escape, for we have passed through such times before ill our lives and come out on the other side alright. Let me say to the farmers get out and gather up every thing you can find on the farm that will put your stock through the winter and not sell them all as some are doing, at a mere trifle. Again to the farmer let me say, stick to your bush if it is pretty dry.
 Now, MT. Editor, please excuse me for dwelling on this one subject this morn ing as my mind seems that way.

CATO.

Cato is sweltering in heat and dust. The long dry season is becoming ser ious and immediate rains could not be- gin to repair the damage done to grow ing crops. The heat of the last few days has been of an intense burning quality making midday comfort almos. impossible. Water is fast becoming a serious proposition to some and unless it rains soon, stock will be in danger of serious suffering. Many wells have be- come almost exhausted and some fami- lies are compelled to carry all their water from neighor wells.
 The series of meetings held at the Methodist church the past week closed yesterday. Meetings will be held twice daily today and probably longer for pur- pose of praying for rain. Rev.

 We sigh for breath from the Arctic regions and hunt for cool and shaded places. but none are to be found-even in densest shade the air fans hot and scorching as if from a furnace. The people complain continually-"I can- not sleep at night, it is so hot" and the inevitable response is-"Same over here Coming good crop years with their plenty of rain may annul the ef- fleets of this drought, but not its memo ". It will go down in local history as period to reckon dates from.
 Trade condition is reported holding out good here-much better than ex pected considering the ruined condition of crops.

LOCAL AND GENERAL SPORTS
WAGNER THE LEADING
SLUGGER IN NATIONAL
He Made Splendid Average of
$50 Per Cent.
SECURED 1870 SAFE ONES.

Hans Wagner of the Pittsburg Pr
ates is again the leading slugger in
the National Baseball League, with
fine average of $50. He was at bat
515 times, and managed to crack out
$50 safe bingles. OF extra base hits
two-sackers were his favOrite drives,
as he has thirty-eight to his credit.
Magee of the Phillies ranks second,
hitting at a 1928 clip. Beaumont of
Boston, is a close third, as he laced
out enough hits to give him an aver
age of 1922. Manager Frank Chance
of the worlds champions was the
leading batsman of his team, ranking
seventh, with 1913. Out of the ten
leading sluggers, Pittsburg had four,
New York two, Philadelphia, Boston,
Chicago and Cincinnati one apiece.
Pttsburg did the best all-rOund bat
ting, closing the season with an av-
erage of 254. The New York Giants
were right on their heels, being only
three points behind. Chicago came
next with $50, losing second place by
the narrowest margin possible, one
point. st. Louis and Brooklyn bring
I'D the rear, being tied with a percent
age of .232.

Franklin last Saturday, but by stick

with certainty, but Franklin recovered
their fumbles and took advantage of
Earlham's misplays very well. The
referee made three decisions that were
absolutely wrong and when shown the
rule governing each case, was forced to
retract two of them, but refused to al

be hoped that the officials will be
chosen carefully for the remaining
games.
Rose Poly plays here on Saturday

START A MOVEMENT
AGAINST BAD EGGS
Indiana and Adjoining States
Unite In 1t.
COMPLAINT VERY GREAT,

Produce dealers of Indiana and adj
joining states are beginning a crusade
against the marketing of spoiled eggs.
They have been successful in enlisting
the aid OF some of the western trade
journals in the hope of obtaining the
strict enforcement of the pure food law
which makes persons selling bad eggs
subject to a fine. The occasion for
this agitation at this time, they say, is
that the high prices and the scarcity Of
fresh eggs now is an inducement to
many farmers and country dealers to
hold their supplies for better prices.
The current receipts Of eggs contain
an unusually large per cent of bad
stock, which, the dealers assert. has in
some instances been stored by farmers
and country storekeepers for six and
eight weeks.

Long Distance Skee Races.

AS a test of skill. strength and en-
durance it would be difficult to beat
the long distance skee races in Norway
and Sweden. OF these contests the
most severe is undoubtedly the twelve
mile race over the mountains which
opens the great annual Snow Derby"
at Holmenkollen, about four miles
from Christiania. In this race which
begins with a steep ascent OF 400 to
500 feet, the skee lobner has to jump
clefts and ravines. to hop over fallen
tree trunks and overcome every kind
of obstacle that man can devise: to
rush down steep declivities and to
make his devious way through noun
tain forests until he reaches the goal.

Considering the arduous nature of
these contests, some of the perform

ton held at Stockholm covered the
course of forty miles at an average
speed Of eight and oue-half miles an
hour

out of the question for two candidates
from the Sixth district to approach
the republican nominating convention
asking the favor to fall upon either
of their heads, and Mr.. Shiveley, being
a close friend of Watson's decided to
cast aside any thought he may have
entertained of asking for the nomin-

Then Mr.. Shiveley's name began to
be mentioned prominently as a con-

He would not talk on the judgeship

that many of his friends had launched
his boom.
