 I do not like the pompous man. do not wish him for friend. He's built on such a gorgeous plan that he can only condescend, and when he bows his neck is sprained. He walks as though he owned the earth-as though his vest and shirt contained all that there is of sterling worth.

SCHOOL BOARD RAISES
SALARIES OF TEACHERS
LADY TEACHERS RECEIVE A

WANT A HOME BASEBALL PARK
Smyrna Fans Working For a Diamond
And Faster Team-Meet Crushing
Defeat at Hands of MiddIetown

Smyrna baseball fans are endeavor-
ing to have a baseball park in Smvr-
ma and with this end in view sub
scriptions are being raised to secure
some available place. The lot wan
ted is the Cats lot near Lake Como.
II a park can be secured, the Smvrna
Baseball team will get together and
organize club that will win and NAV
eventually join the Kent County
League. There is some good base
ball talent in Smyrna and with a
good home diamond where practice
games can be frequently played, there
is no reason why Smyrna should not
be able to cope with any team
around here. During the season
they have been playing fair ball,
winning probably as many as they
have lost. That we have not a
better team is due to the fact that
the members of the club enter the
game without any practice and
unprepared to meet fast competitors.
With home diamond they will be
given greater incentive to play ball
and more fittingly represent Smyrna.
Last Saturday the Smyrna Club went
to MiddletOwn and met a crushing
defeat. The score was 9 to 2. In
the first inning Middetown knocked
out home run and from then until
the close of the game they had the
situation in their own hands. Inman
and Turner composed the battery for
Smyrna and Richards and Gibbs for
Middletown. The score was as
follows: Smyrna 2; Middletown. 9.
In the event of a lot being secured it
is probable that three games will be
played here next week with Middle
town, Camden and Barclay.

watch on strip of one and one-half
acres of his land, a tract which he
has worked to high degree of culti-

to be more than mere romance in
his methods. Mr.. Boggs planted
this small tract in Irish Cobbler
potatoes, harvested his crop last
week and realized $3.50 in cash.
Now he has sOwed the entire tract
In COW peas and expects, as in

$50 in cash. This will more than
pay for all the fertilizers and seed
potatoes used on the field this year.
