Baseball Affairs.

Baseball Affairs.
The Shenandoah Junction baseball team
went up against the Shepherd College
boys here last Thursday, and the visitors
were defeated by score of II to 2. Our
team put up good, strong game, while
the Junction boys showed lack OF practice,
being particularly weak in fielding and
in batting. They, have some fine material
in their team, and we shouldn't wonder
if they give good account of themselves
before the season is over.
Saturday the Benyville team came over
and also went down before the good play
ing of the college boys, the latter winning
by a score of 10 to g. Athey and Gardi-
ner, the battery for the college, put up a
splendid game, and were supported ex-
cellently in the field. Shepherd and Gal
way also made good battery for Berry
vile, but luck seemed to be against the
visitors, who lost out on number OF
plays when they had hoped to win.
We would suggest that our rooterS be
trifle more agreeable in their methods.
We approve of roofing, but we observe
that some of the rooters in their enthu-
siasm become offensive. Bad manners is
as Objectionable 10 our home people as it
is obnoxious to the visitors, and we
ought to give teams from other places
courteous and decent treatment. Often
sive personal remarks simply create bad
feeling and there's nothing gained by get
ting the i'll will OF other clubs.
The town season will open on Friday
afternoon, when the locals will be pitted
against the strong Hagerstown Collegians.
The game will BE- called at 2.30, and i'm
mediately after this game the college team
will meet the HagerstownerS. Soa strong
double header is promised at the small
admission price OF Is cents. Season
ticket holders can see both games by
payment of an additional 10 cents A
street parade will precede the game.
President cambridge of the Athletic As
ISOLATION will toss the first ball over. The
locals are in fine shape and battle royal
will be waged from start to finish.
Buy your season tickets today from
Remnants, or The Bargain Store. ]. E.

like big day to us.
The Clarke Courier thinks that the
Berryvile baseball team got the worst OF
the umpiring at Shepherdstown last week
when they went up against Shepherd COL
lege. Well, Berryville will have a chance
to get even on May 10Th, when our boys
will 60 to that place.

twenty acre farm where irrigation and

equal to a quarter section which Is
hard or impossible to get.
The irrigated districts Of Texas, COL
orado. Washington, Montana, idaho
and California have produced crops OF
fruit and vegetables valued at upward
Of $1,000 per acre. In the fruit belts
OF Texas, Washington, Oregon, Colo-
RADIO, Idaho and Montana it ds asserted
an acre of apple orchard will yield
$1,000 to $500 worth Of apples that
are unrivaled in appearance and
flavor. American apples are in large
export demand and an over-supply is
not apprehended, as consumption al
apples Is equal to production at very
remunerative prices. In favored local.
tiles farmers can realize a gross in
come Of $500 per acre for fruit OF
garden vegetables when the small farm
is operated to its full capacity under
modern scientific cultivation.
The government should cut down the
allotment. The Young farmer should
look into the possibilities Of the re-
claimed land.

stage in fruition. He will succeed
because he has in him the material
out Of which success is carved. The
one prime and indispensable requisite
which horace Greedy always demand
ed in His workers Mr.. Norris has in
generous observation-disclosures He
is square, he is honest he is faithful,
he has splendid ideals. And over all
these, he is practical. And 1t Is in
the wisdom of this latter qualification
that the future management Of the
Nonpareil is forecast. Mr.. Hughes,
partner Of Mr.. Norris in THE deal,
will go to Council Bluffs and step
into the business office. Otherwise
the editorial force will remain dn
both offices about the same. Mr.. Hen
derson will continue as editor of the
Nonpareil. He is a strong and capable
writer and a fine man.
We have no doubt about the success
of this venture. From a political
point of view the deal is Of no imme-
diate consequence. Men and measures
wh continue to stand on their merits.
Mr.. Norris aims to support that which
is honest and reasonable in all lines.
This course he will not change. AL
tho well served heretofore, Nonpareil
readers will have no cause to regret
the change.

TWO SUGGESTIONS:

Eight Marshalltown men have polled

eight are pledged to divide equally all
that they may draw. Thus IL one

into possession of twenty acres. "And

This suggests two things. First, II
twenty acres is enough for one man
