organized to pull for both clubs, but
the noise of the Philadelphia Ath-
lotic club is the most voiciferous
Wild Bill Donovan was in the box
for Detroit, and Bygert Plank and
Wadell for the Philadelphia 5. Both
pitched marvellous games. At the
beginning OF the seventh inning the
score I to o in favor 'of the Athletics.
The Philadelphia rooters thought the
game cinched for their home team,
and their elation knew no bounds.
But the Detroits opened on Bygert
for four runs and tied the score in

exciting plays ever seen on both sides.
In the race for the championships

Chicago and Athletics, however, are
holding commanding positions. and
the result will not be positively

Planting selected seed of the best

ing the ensuing season; or, in case
pf no special seed field take the fol-
lowing plan:
Cotton Seed.
Ist From your best field of cotton
select the best portion, and in this
choice division mark the most vigor-
oris and productive plants, showing
short joints and fruit limbs near the
bottom The entire plant should be
an exceptional fruit producer. Seed
should be selected from these mark
ed stalks, but the top bolls and the
bolls on the ends OF the limbs should
not go into this lot of seed; they
tend to make the cotton later The
bolls selected for seed should be
picked by special field hands. sent in
advance OF the regular pickers. This
seed cotton must be stored in a drv
place and watched to avoid mixing.
Special care should be taken at the
gin, that the gin and floor are free
from all other cotton seed before
ginning. Store this seed in dry
place
Where greater length of staple IS
desired, select for seed such boHs
only as show the longest staple. BY
careful selection most any desired
qualities, or characteristics, can ulti-
mate1v be secured
;. Seed Corn.
The above rules for cotton apply
TO corn.
Ist. Fix some standard qualities of
corn and type Of ear you prefer, then
select to secure these.
If white corn, with average ear,
It should be about eight inches long
with medium cob, long, deep and
uniform kernels, which cover the
ends of the cobs we'll, husk adhering
closely tothe corn at the tip. The
kernels should show a nitrogen com
tent above the average. In the above
case the seed corn should be selected
from stalk that has two early ma
tured ears, SO as to promote a tend
ency to produce two ears and an early
maturity.
2ndd. If the large ear type is pre-
ferred, it is better to select the seed
corn from stalks bearing one ear only
but OF the desired type In general
characteristics it should correspond
to case one, except with a larger and
longer ear.
grid. All barren Or non-producing
stalks should have been detasselled
and all ears blighted, or blasted BY
smut, should have been removed from
the field where seed corn is to be
selected. Avoid selecting seed ears
near blighted ears, and it is best not
to select even good ears where most
of the surrounding ears are nubbins.

when wet or not thoroughly cured.

4 HARD CHOICE.

Wherever there Is a deep sea in the neighbor-
hood of New York there seems to be q nice lit
tie alternative devil on hand to make miserable
the lives Of the inhabitants The woes Of West
End avenue are a case in point. That residence
street is now securely and painfully wedged in
between the devil and the deep sea, tragic
situation indeed, in which automobiles play the
part Of the devil and one thousand young people

chance the residents of the district secured re-
lease from the horrors Of cyclonlc, SO-horsepower

sudden appearance Of a biological antidOte In
the form Of roller skaters. The latter acted
upon the automobile drivers not exactly but
very much like the imported parasites which the
Department Of Agriculture experts sic Oh to
the gypsy moth, boil weevil green bug brown
bug and other undesirable citizens. The roller
skaters multiplied so rapidly that the SOhorse-
power decimators, finding 70-mle pace through
the avenue too damaging TO bones and pocket
books, fed the infested region. But one good
pest deserves another, The automobile extlr-
pators soon became as great plague as their
victims had been, so that the West Finders are
now crying unto Mulberry Street for deliver
ance from the one thousand roller skaters who
make night hideOus.
The choice between automobiles and roller
skaters may be a hard one to the West Enders,
most Of whom probably own automobiles. but
the general public may be glad to turn the dis
covery accidentally made in West End avenue TO
immediate account everywhere. Give up bar
rers. timers and motor cycle cops; raise, or,
If need be- import, large swarms Of the new
parasite In short time the speeding problem
will have been solved to the satisfaction Of

ant superintendent of schools the salary of that
place being $1,000 a year. Compared with sala-
ries in the commercial world. this ultima thule
of the woman teachers ambition may not be
large but the fair comparison is with pay in the
educational world The leaders of that sphere
are the university presidents, and only few
of them, the heads of our greatest universities,

rection was at hand; anarchy was only just
around the corner. To persist in the policy an
nounced by our government would be madness
of criminal proportions. Instantaneous procla-
nation that there would be no more Cuban au-
tonomy, but that hard and fast American pro-
tectorate would be forever maintained was the
only possible way of salvation.
Well that way was not pursued. OF all the
things which those agitated propagandists so
shrilly demanded not one was granted. All the
things which they most violently denounced
were maintained And not one of the dreadful
things which they so confidently predicted has
come to pass or offers any likelihood of doing
so. Peace and prosperity prevail, and the island
is making steady, substantial and sufficiently
rapid progress toward a restoration of auton-
omy in accordance with the expressed pledge of

We should be compelled to regard the late
'Protectorists" wretchedly poor prophets If
we had any idea that they really meant their
predictions of But surely they did not.
They thought that they might gain some end
which they had in view by rigging up a horrid
presentment Of raw head and bloody bones, but
they must have known all the time that the
grewsome thing was sheer fiction.
