Editors Telegram:
Sometime ago you published an
article OF mine, telling how the local
baseball team was going to win the
second pennant. Pass it to the winds
there was nothing to 1t. 1t was
only dope and as 1 said at that time
dope is not reliable.
What troubles the local team is
their inability to hit. Until the
locals recover their swatting Wbs
there will not be much doing in the
line of victories. Several of the
boys have lost their batting eyes en-
tirely and remind you of has-beens
of the rankest sort when they swing
at the ball which has looked as big
as mountain at some times.
Some blame the defeats on the
pitchers but there is nothing In
that. A pitcher that holds his OPP
ponents down to one or two runs
would easily carry away victory If
his teammates would do a little
swatting with the big stick. They
haven't been doing it, hence the de-
feats.
Most all this tommy-rot about
playing managers is also unwarrant-
ed. A manager may have enough
baseball brains in his head to make
him round shouldered but IL his
players cannot execute his plans. 1t
is not all his fault.
Did you ever notice how a particu-
lar spot in our outheld has been
working lately? Flies that would
have been caught by any high school
boy have gone for singles and with
them victories. The second game
with Butler was lost this way and
one OF the games with Fairmont al
so. This kind of 'round-town play
ing will not do for a team that

This is not meant for knock, for
woe be unto the knocker-if you
can't boost do not knock. This is
just a little dope on the local
team which is about the truth, at
least all my friends here on the
farm agree with me, and Just be-
cause we cannot play much our
selves we know how 1T should be

thinking that you know something

Schedule Revised.
PITTsBURG,

PITTsBURG, Pa, August s.
Revision of the West Penn
schedule for the rest of the
present week has been made neces-
sary by the action of the parties who
have been running the Connellsville
club. These parties calmly told the
members OF the team that they were
through. The players called on the
president of the league and assured
him that they would be willing to
go ahead on their own hook, pend
ing the result of efforts to get some
of the public-spirited citizens of
Connellsville to finance the club dur
ing the remainder of the season.
They asked to be scheduled away
from home until Saturday, by which
time it is hoped to have matters in
shape to continue. with any sort
of attention to the business or finan-
cial end of the game the team
should be able to finish the season
to the good" said one of the players.

his direction we will be able to play
better ball. Connellsville is a good
ball town If properly handled. Every
member of the team is willing to do
his share toward keeping the place
in the league, but, of course, it is now
up to the citizens"
Should the efforts to raise funds
to carry the team after this week
not meet with success the chances
are that the league will continue
with six members. The schedule
as revised for the rest of the
week together with the umpires' as
signments, are appended:

BEAVER FALLS, Pa, Aug. s.
At a meeting of the directors of the
Beaver Falls baseball club yesterday
it was decided to play this weeks
schedule in the West Penn league
and then retire from the league.
The principal reason given for the
movement is that the teams in the
league are so far apart that the
transportation costs too much for
each town. Moreover, the patron
age has not been such that 1t will
warrant the directors keeping the
team in the league.

A Freak of Nature.

Rev. P. C. Fletcher, of Fayette- vile, is very fond of pets and has an interesting freak Among his pets are black cat and a tame rabbit. About six weeks ago the cat gave birth la a kitten. and Mir. Fletcher says there is no question of a doubt that the offspring is cross between a rabbit and cat This cat-rabbit has the head of a cat and the tail of a rabbit. Its front feet are rabbit feet and its hind feet are of the cat. Mir. Fletcher says when you stroke Its head il will purr and behave like cat, but touch 1t on its tall and the rabbit nature predominates. and it Is eff in a hurry. It will stand on its hind feet and jump around like rabbit at one time, and again if will walk or run on four feet like cat

What Captain Cook Did
 Not Know.

A little ever hundred years ago Captain Cook, who found motive to take him into many parts of the world, wrote:
 "It is very unlikely that any meas ure of this kind (that is. missionary effort should ever be seriously thought of, as it can neither serve the purpose oi public ambition nor private avarice' and without such inducements may pronounce that if will never be under taken
 How utterly his prediction has fail ed the history of missions shows. The transformations in character and social condition which have taken place are proof of the operation Of a power to inspire effort and change life of which many men who are wise and competent in some things know not Missionary Review.

The Sunshine Apostle.

What boon he is in eveybody's life! Like bright sunrise and a gentle south wind. coming together on a winter morning, he is to all who cross his path. He brushes cheeriy along, knocking grief and disappoint- ment out of his path, and leaving it fringed with flowers. Such man is worth great deal 10 the world; more than all his money, his wisdom, or his ambitious schemes. People feel a sort of pleasure just seeing him com ing down the street, and when they meet him there is not a cloud in sight.
 Such men are blessing to town. They make one feel that the town is growing. is getting more beautiful, more than place just to eat and sleep and make a living in. Some times one doesn't meet such men, and he feels that the town is degener- ating, that things are going wrong, and that the evil spirit is trying to put a little malice in his heart, and he goes home and meets his wifes smile with a feeling of suspicion.
 A che erful man doesn't realize the amount of good he is doing in the world. But it Is his nature and he cannot help it. Heaven has picked him out as one of its angels, and he is faithful to his mission. Every day some fellsm mas been made happy by als pleasant smile and his genial "go9d morning" and if one has bit of business with him it passes by very much like an exchange of compliment. To be cheerful may not be so great duty as to be honest or unselfish, but it certainly widens the radiance of these virtues Ohio State Journal.

LAW VIOLATIONS IN BRInkLEy.

Never saw such change come over a town in all my life,' said ar Brinkley citizen, now living in an other state, when commenting, thi: week, upon the improved moral con- ditons in Brinkley.
 Continuing. he said, "l believe that Brinkley, now. is one of the cleanest towns know of anywhere I've seen it when 1t was the toughest hole in the South; when it was actual ly dangerous because of the crowd oi gamblers, thugs and toughs, who hung out around Brinkley. l am happy to see the improvement; it looks like 2 new Brinkley in every way
 The visitors expressions are but the common expressions of hundreds of others who are daily seeing the New Brnkley and noting its improvements
 There Is not single reputable citi- zen in our city who is not rejoiced to know that these improvements are going on and that the outside world is seeing them.
 The ARcIs believes sincerely that there is not cleaner town in all the South than Brinkley; that there is not a place where conditions such as exist here, show so few violations of the law as Brnkley.
 The law breaking element which was responsible for the disgraceful name Brinkley bore so long, went the way of all who persist in such mis- guided lives. Many of them left Brinkley in disgrace and dishonor and some others were awakened 10 their better selves and are making good and useful citizens.
 In the meantime much of the credit for the improved conditions n Brink ley, is due to the able and honorable gentlemen who compose the bar of Monroe County. These gentlemen absolutely refuse 10 take case for the blind tiger and whiskey law violstofs (the most obnoxious of al sioiators.)

SEED CORN.


 The above rules for cotton apply to corn.

 If white corn. with average ear, it should be about eight inches long with medium cob, deep and uniform kernels. which cover the end of the corn at the tip. The kernels should show nitrogen content above the average. In the above case the seed corn should be selected from a stalk that has two early matured ears, so as
The Brinkley argus., 1907-10-25

to promote tendency to produce two ears and an early maturity.
 2nd. 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 Ito case one, except with larger and longer ear.
 3rd. All barren and non producing stalks should have been detasseled and all ears blighted, or blasted by smut, should have been removed from the field where seed corn is to be select ed. Avoid selecting seed ears where most of the surrounding ears are nub- bins.
 4th. Store in a dry place. but never when wet or not thoroughly cured.

COTTON SEED.

ot' iOil JSdt bSot tiN'a VI WI ton, select the best portion, and in this choice division mark the most vigorous and productive plants, show ing short joints and fruit limbs near the bottom. The entire plant should be an exceptionable fruit producer. Seed should be selected from these marked cotton 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 dry place and watched to avoid mixing.
 Special care must be taken at the gin. that the gin and floor are free from all other cotton seed before gin- ming. Store this seed in dry place.
 When greater length of staple is desired, select for seed such bolls only as show the longest staple. By care ful selection most any desired quali- ties, or characteristics, can ultimately be secured.
