Forty.Two Potatoes in One Hill.

Bassett Leader; James Cooper
brings wonderful tale of the fertility
of our soil. He says that in his
garden in Bassett. he recently dug a
hill containing forty-two potatoes
ranging in size from a hens egg up
The hill was a large one containing
five stalks. OF course not every hill
has so many potatoes but the crop in
this section this year will be simply
immense. In quality and flavor our
potatoes excel those grown farther
east. This is due to the climate.

NORFOLK N FORM
DEFEATS PLA|NV|EN
NORFOLK TAKES PLAINVIEW's
MEASURE 3 TO 2.
PLAY A TEN INNING GAME


Tenth Inning When Bennett
Doubled to Right Field and Was
Scored by 8ovee.
That far famed and much feared
bunch OF salaried ball artists from
up at Plainview came down to Nor.
tolk TO try conclusions with the
husky players of this town and suf
fered defeat only after a great ten
inning struggle, by score OF 2 to 8.
Before the game many were bewail.
ing the fact that Norfolk was doomed
TO almost certain defeat. After Nor.
folk had nosed length ahead. these
same ones were wearing a pleasant
smile and saying 81 told you So"
Norfolk's winning run came in the
tenth inning when Bennett doubled
to right field, and Bovee scored him
on a pretty single over second base.
There were two out at this time, and
Bovees hit was most timely. Ben.
netts double was the only one of the
game.
The best part Of the game was the
closeness of the score throughout the
ten innings, and the uncertainty of
the result. Errors and dumb plays
were frequent, and about evenly di.
vided on both sides. Some sensa.
tional fielding and base running on
the Ty Cobb order enlivened the in.

the double plays were fast, and nicely
handled. Some fly balls to the out.
field were trapped after long runs.
In the first inning Plainview had
three runners on bases, but could not
score. For Norfolk in the first in
ming Hoffman singled and went round
to third on Benefits Texas Lacquer
over the infield. He scored on first
baseman's error.
In the third inning Plainview took
the lead. Chapman walked and was
safe at second on an error. With
Chapman and Chenner on first and
second, Drebert and F.. Tepner sue
cessively singled, scoring the former
two.
Norfolk evened things up in the
same inning when Hoffman was safe
at first on shortstops error. He stole
second, and scored when shortstop
fumbled Rush's grounder.
In the sixth there were two double
plays. Bennett stopped grounder,
tagged runner racing to second and
threw out another runner at first.
With Norfolk at bat and three on
bases the ball was hit to the pitcher
who threw home to the catcher and
the latter threw to first, completing
the best double play of the game.
In the ninth great running catch
was made by Plainview's left fielder.
In Norfolks half chances for a run
seemed good, but two runners were
caught off bases. The decision at
third was very close.
Errors put pitcher Kirkland in a |
hole in the tenth, but he was equal
to the emergency and struck out a
batsman, retiring the side with run
ners on second and third.

WHAT FLORIDAS NEWSPAPERS SAY OF
DeSOTO'S COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
REPRINTED FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO KNOW

Every body knows that the DeSoto
County News is a good paper, and there
was no need for the commissioners to do
so much nonsenscal resolutin' about it
to the derogation of the four other news
papers of the county, The resolutions
eff the commissioners are a striking eN-
emplhcation of the remark of the parrot
after her disastrous fight with a dog,
Polly, you talk too blamed much" A
simple award of the business to the
News without any palayer or foolishness

Public Printing.

For downright prostitution of public
office to private ends commend us to the
board of county commissioners of DeSoto
county.
But before we go further into discus
sion of the minutes be it understood that
The Telegram asked or expected nothing
from the board In fact this olfic, has
never received but $3.50 from DeSoto
county III the three and one-half years it
has been under the present management
and that was for some printing done for
the clerk,
Neither does The Telegram deny the
legal right of the board to award the
printing over which they have control to
whomsoever they choose regardless of
price.
But how a resolution was offered by
Zone OF the members of the board" and
adopted,
The fourth "whereas" is gross in
justice to every paper in DeSoto county
save the DeSoto county News and is an
unwarranted reflection upon the morels
and integrity of the press of DeSoto
inasmuch as the naming of one
means the exclusion of all others.
But now comes a Resolve" that is
entirely improper and which the con-
missioners had 10 legal or moral right
TO make.
They have no more right to request
the other county officials to give their
printing to the News than they have to
adopt resolution asking them to give
their grocery trade to a particular store.
1t is none OF their business where the
sheriff, the clerk or any other officer has
notice published, and their effort to
create boycott against the other papers
of the county comes very near placing
the members of the board subject to
criminal prosecution. Wauchula Tele.

Ii Seems Singular.

The county commissioners of DeSoto,
i'll designating the DsSoto County News
as the official organ of the board for this
year, passed resolutions which the other
papers Of the county looked upon as re-
hecting upon their morals and integrity.
Thereupon the publishers OF these other
papers met and also adopted resolutions.
they denounced the commissioners res
olutions as unnecessary, unfair, unjust
and without proper motive" and said
the board acted without legal authority
or the exercise of common sense. ;"
They further pledged themselves not to
support any of the county officials for
election to any Office who may comply
with the request OF the county counts
sioners to publish all their legal advcr-
tsenentS III the News. These counter
resolutions were signed by the publish
ers OF che Wauchula Telegram, Arcadia
Champion, Florida Advocate of Wau-
chula and The Punta Gorda Herald
That the county commissioners should
have gone the length of attacking the
cher four newspapers Of the county, in
stead OF simply awarding the county
printing TO the News, seems all the more
singular because those papers seem
always to have shown a friendly spirit
coward the board. -1iniSs-Union
