BAD WEATHER CAUSES
MANY POSTp0NEMENTS.

The weather. yesterday played havoc
with the plans Of the various athletic
organizations which intended to hold
various competitions in accordance
with the usual Thanksgiving Day Gus
tom. The p-ostponcn1ent that caused
the most disappointment locally was
the game between the East orange
High football team and the eleven rep
resenting the East Orange High.
When the time came for the game to
be started IL was found hat the field
at Ashland Oval was covered with
snow and siush several inches deep
and that d contest would be out of the
question. After o elaboration it
was finally decided to play the game
on Saturday, December 4. at Ashland
Oval.
The Diocesan cross country run
which was set for yesterday morning
also had to be called off and it was
announced this morning that the affair
would be held on Saturday. December
II, at 2 p. m.
The cross country scheduled to be
held yesterday under the auspices OF
the Acme Club OF Belleviile also had to
be postponed until December 4.
The poor condition OF the grounds
prevented the gridiron contest between
the Quickstep and the Leroy elevens
from being played ON the Park A. A.
Oval There were also several other
soccer and rugby games to be played
between the various amateur teams
~hereabouts yesterday. but the weather
mar was stubborn and there was moth

Van Lindley Going to Raise Peach
Trees in Moore County.
(PinehurSt TOuriSt.)

For several days tn fall the Van
Lindley teams were seen big
boxes through the streets from the
freight depot. and if yon asked
what the crates contained some wise
guy was ready to answer, with a good
natured laugh. More peach trees for
Van Lindlev."
There may have been some peach
trees in the lot, for when an richard
has 10000 peach trees there are al
ways some to be replaced, but the
bulk of the boxes were filed with ap-
pie trees-a thousand of them in all.
Now five years ago that statement
would have been viewed with incred-
ulity. Apple trees! WHY apples will
not to any extent and to commercial
profit. That was the old notion. and
went because no one had any proof
to the contrary to offer. but a man
by the name Of Palmer has dynamited
the old theory and done 1T as thor
oughly as a Russian bombist makes
mince meat of an unpopular govern
ment official He has made 400 ap-
pie trees grow and thrive, and has
been taking first prizes right from
under the noses Of the big apple
States.
That Mr.. Van Lindley believes that
Moor county can raise apples is ~
dicated by the fact that he begins with
1000 trees. others will follow. The
farmers will set ont n f." hr"'-"a
trees, the man with a home garden
IN town will set out a dozen, or q
score.
