Twain that in youthful days. being
sent out by his mother to weed a GER
tain flower bed. and finding more weeds
than flowers, he came back. in and
asked If he might not flower the weed
bed
Our little Alfred probably has as
great an aversion to work as lac the
youthful Clemens. Admonished to pull
some rather large weeds in the back
yard, after a faint-hearted lift on one
of them. he shouted.
Mamma. how do you think I'm going
to pull these weeds when the whole
world is hitched onto them ?'-Woman's

Champions and Ranners-Up in
Red-Hot Struggle in Open
ing Bowling Series.

One out of three was Roseville's por-
ton in the opening series of the Ath-
letic League with the Elizabeth bowl
ers at Elizabeth last night. This was
about as good a result as the locals
might reasonably expect in a clash
with the champions in the latter's own
camp. The Roseville bowlers and their
army of rooters made the trip to Betsy
town in a special car.
For a beginning the Elizabeth quintet
piled up a total OF 991, which beat Rose
Vile by more than a hundred pins. Nolte
contributed 234 and the West boys 20
apiece. The second heat was somewhat
closer, but again Elizabeth turned the
trick, this time ST. to &S. The ex-
champers were determined to ward off a
triple defeat. In the final game they
spilled the pins in winning style. Van Ness
helped along with 224. and Pferson was
there with 221. When the figures were
footed up the locals were So pins to the
good. $50 to 921.

UP ROBUSTNESS MEN
FIPemen Come 10 Definite ACliOn
About The Demonstration
BUSINESS MEN MUST RAISE CASH
If This Is Done, the Firemen Will
Take Hold of the Celebration and
Make 1t a Success Death
Knell of the Project.

A meeting of the presidents and cap
tains Of the several fire companies
of the city was held In the firemcn's
hall Monday night, at which time Il
was definitely decided that II the bust
ness people of the city would under
take the task of raising the money
required for the proposed demonstra-
ton on the occasion Of the annual
meeting of the Cumberland Valley
Ffremen's association here in May, the
tirenen would undertake to do the
work and make the celebration sue
cess In the event that the business
people will not assume the RESPONSE
|bility of raising the required money,
the firemen will withdraw.
This, in effect 1t is believed, will put
an effective quietus to the proposition
and 1t Is now safe to assume that there
VIII be no demonstration here when
the convention meets. From now until
the firemen gather here the business
people will be very busy, and it would
be a difficult proposition for them to
e.
take charge OF the financial end OF the
matter. 1t Is believed however, that
a committee composed of representa-
tive ilremen could have raised the mon
ey necessary for the demonstration
but the firemen were not willing TO
assume this responsibility and add
tional work.
All the companies were represented
with the exception OF Ryneal No. /, and
the action Of the firemen was unani-
nous. The firemen feel that such an
undertaking, at this late date, would
involve great amount Of work and
responsibility, and that While they
were willing to do their share of it, the
business people should provide the
funds without the firemen being com
PEELED to hustle for the money.
The matter is now up to- the bust
ness people, and it is believed tns
for The reasons set forth above, tac
will not be able to take the part as
signed to them by the firemen.
