CHAMPIONS
SECURE
Mclaughlin in Singles and

Defends LaureIS
BY GRANT SMITH

The annual state championship tennis
tournaments came to q close yesterday
on the Hotel Rafael courts, with the
exception of the ladies singles the
challenge match of which will be
played on July S. In the mems events
both the singles and doubles cham
pions successfully defended, while Miss
May Sutton won the finals of the la
dies singles. The latter beat her sis
of a game, the score being 60, 60.
In the challenge match of the mems
singles, played in the morning. Maurice
Mclaughlin, holder of the title, beat
Carl Gardner, winner of the tourna-
ment. in a five set match. The score
was 1-6, rs. 6-3. 1-6, 60.
In the challenge match of the dou-
bles, Maurice Mclaughlin and George
James, holders, beat Carl Gardner and
Melville Long, challengers, in a long
1--WE set match. The score was As,
11-9, SO, 6-3, 81.
Several hundred spectators were on
hand to witness the afternoon matches
the first of which was between the
Sutton sisters. Miss May Sutton played
the same wonderful game that won
her the worlds championship losing
only 5 points in the first set and in
the second. Miss Sutton's game showed
that she has not gone back, and had
she been at all pressed she could prob
ably have played better game than
ever. She will meet Miss Hazel Hotch-
kiss, the present state champion, in
the challenge match on July at San
Rafael.
Both the mems matches proved un-
usually close and interesting. In the
singles Carl Gardner again showed
great form, and had he been in a better
physical condition it is more than

He was fatigued from his hard play
during the week, but managed to out
play the champion in the. early stages
of the match. He won the first and
fourth sets with the loss of only one
game in each, but had nothing left
when the fifth set started. Mclaughlin
hardly played as well as usual, being
bothered slightly with sore wrist
The double contest was a gruelling
affair and the champions emerged win
ners on account of their superior
staying powers. Long and Gardner
played the best tennis up to the fourth
set and looked almost sure winners.
Their ground strokes were much bet
ter than those of their opponents and
their net game was a trifie stronger. 4

their favor and 20 on the fourth set
Long and Gardner looked all over win
ners. Gardner had been playing
throughout the match on his nerve. and
as most of his balls were played to him
he was forced to let down from sheer
exhaustion toward the close of the
match.
James and Mclaughlin seemed TO
strike their gait in the fourth set and
carried their opponents along at
lively clip. They ran out the fourth

James put up whirlwind finish and

sets. Gardner bore the brunt on 5his
side of the net, and considering his
condition played a wonderful game
Mclaughlin did not play with his usual
dash, which was partly due to the fact
that his opponents played most of the
balls to James. Long played beauti-
full tennis during the first three sets

Obesity and win Power.

Obesity is easily cured with the ez-
ercise of the proper care and restraint
on the part of the patient. Without
this, however, the cure is impossible,
and no physician or medicine can be
of any help. The happy-go-lucky dis
positions of fat people, their tendency
to regard their ailment lightly, cause
them to look upon nothing seriously,
to deny themselves nothing. These
characteristics, which generally are
responsible for their ai'~Cent, furnish
the greatest obstacles in the way of
curing them. AS a rule the fat per-
son does just the opposite of what he
ought to do. He eats the very foods
he should avoid, avoids those he
should eat, shuns exertion of every
kind, INDUCES in rest and luxury and
seeks the way of the easiest resist
ance generally.-From Will Power.

The Feet and the Teeth.

n considering the diseases to
which horse flesh is heir there are
two things that should always be
considered as of special Importance,
the teeth and the feet. The average
period of usefulness of the horse is
curtailed several years by the made
quacy of the teeth In most horses
at the age of fifteen the teeth have
become rough and Uneven, and from
that time on the horse is a hard keep
er, and the real cause is not known
by the owner. In buying horses the
teeth and the feet should receive most
careful examination. Ordinarily, in
speaking of the feet of the horse. we
mean the part inclosed by the hoof
wall. Looking at it from a stand
point of comparative anatomy, the
foot includes all below the knee and
the hook. The artificial conditions
under which the horse is placed and
the unusual demand exacted of him
result in almost every case in dis
eased conditions, which render him
incapable of doing the work he would
otherwise do. Shooting. which places
him under artificial conditions, COM
bined with the hard roads, overwork
and improper feeding, soon produce
infanmatory conditions which may
result in side bones, ring bones, coffin
joint, lameness, cracks in the hoof
wall, contracted heels and a great
many more diseases too numerous to
mention. In many cases the horse
must be shod. but there certainly is
far too much shoeing done. 1t is sur
prising how much work the horse can
do under most conditions without
shoes if he be brought gradually to
the work, and a little care and judg-
ment be exercised in this matter dur
ing the first three or -four years of
the colts life. There are three things
especially to be remembered If you
wish to give this subject a little extra
thought. First, as long a. you use
horses that have weak or defective
feet for breeding purposes just 81
long will you have horses with a pre-
disposition to these things and you
will lose money on them accordingly;
second, do less shoeing, a horse with
fairly good feet will not need to be
shod unless he be worked on the
pavement, race track or in mountain
Gus districts; third, do not allow any
horseshoer to use the buttress on the
soles of the feet, nor the rasp on the
| outside; do not leave the shoes on
longer than four weeks without reset
ting.
In substance, remember that the
foot is the weakest part of the horse:
that the service of the horse is worth
money to you. Take good care OF
the horses feet.-G. H. Glover, Colo

Took Him On Probation.

Elizabeth's father had died when
she was a tiny baby, and for four
years she had ruled her mother and
every one with whom she came in
contact. Much to her surprise she
was nj day introduced to a "new
papa" She looked him over care
fully, then, after much coaxing, she
climbed upon his knee and listened
as he told her of the many nice things
be would do for her mother and her,
finally asking whether she would love
him just a little. She looked him
~squarely in the eye and said: eyes,
if you do all you promise, I may like
you, but I. tell you now, if you try
to be boss around here, we just won't
have you for u husband!"-The

Care Of Stock.

So far as their proper bedding,
feeding and ventilation are con-
cerned. it is too important a matter
for the thrifty farmer to neglect at
tending to himself. However trust
worthy his assistants. Judging by our
own experience, it will pay him we'll
at the close of the season to see each
evening that his cattle. horses, sheen
and hogs are we'll bedded, fed and
watered. Scarcely less important is
the proper ventilation of the build
ings in which his stock are wintered.
While the entrance of draughts and
cold is to be carefully prevented it
should be borne in mind that domes-
tieated animals, like man himself.
need fresh, Wholesome air, and, if
compelled by ignorance or careless
ness to breathe a foul, tainted atmos-
phere, it is at a serious risk of health
and consequent profit. A visit to the
barn, stable and pigpen early in the
morning will at once warn the observ-
ant farmer of a defective ventilation.

Care of Emit and Trees.

Fruit ripens fast when it is placed
in cool, dark cellars. When fruit is
thoroughly ripe on the trees it should
not be exposed to sunlight.
Get the apples into the boxes or
barrels as soon as possible after they
are picked.
A Pennsylvania man who has a
large orchard keeps about twenty
five cats during the summer months.
He fills a trough in the centre of the
orchard with new milk each morning
and pays no further attention to the
cats. He says there are no mice,
squirrels, rabbits or rats on the farm.
If you allow the grass and weeds
to grow up around the young trees
this summer the rabbits and mice
will girdle them next winter, If you
don't watch out.
"A Missouri man complains that he
cannot kill sweet clover in his or
chard. 1t is not so hard. Pillow the
ground and give your orchard clean
cultivation two or three seasons, or
if you NOV the clover frequently dur
ing the summer and let it lie on the
ground it will die out.
Whenever a large limb of any kind
Is removed from the tree never fail
to cover the wound with paint or wax.
Pack your finest apples in boxes
holding about thr%ee-fourths of a
bushel.
For 81 0 can have a neat stencil
made, containing the name of your
farm, your WI name and address.
These on the corner of your boxes
give people to understand that you
know your business.-DroYers' Jour
