BUSCH AND PAeLEs LIFT AN.
OTHER.


The second game with Iowa City
was Manchester's all the way. We
won it Saturday to 0. Wombachter
for the visitors was hit seven times
for safety and Busch three times,
Pagles Substituting in the sixth and
allowing five more. The fielding per-
Torrance back of Busch and Pagles
was artistically given by Malven,
who featured by cheerfully lassooipg
line drive. Another balloon like fly
| in the fourth settled down into the
glove worn by Cretzmeyer, but the
fielders had little opportunity for
work. and no tears were shed, be-
cause the day was one of the hottest
and most disagreeably uncomfortable
that the weather man has given.
Athree Dagger for Curly Davis in
the fifth inning sent the fans howl
4 ign, and single by Malven scored
the sometime pitcher. In the second,
Anderson walked, went to second on
a sacrifice by Busch, and again adj
vanced by Cretzmyer who was given
a base for having been struck by the
ball, scoring Tommy. Cretz scores
by long drive by Drew. Davis and
Malven scored in the third, and an
other in the fifth by Davis ended the
runs.

fifth with Iowa City's catcher was
tahe ridiculous vaudeville act during
the performance. Spd was starting

The following communication for the
state board of horticulture may be of in
terest to some of our readers.
Sacramento, Cal, Dec. 18th, 1909.
Dear sir
The state commissioner of hortcul-
ure wishes to impress upon the fruit
growers, and others interested in horti
culture in your county, the necessity
for goodly number of candidates to
take the examination for county horti
cultural commissioner, which is soon
to be held in your county seat. While
the salary is not large it will cOmpen-
safe man for some time spent in pre-
pratation, IS per day and the necessary
travelling expenses incurred in the per-
Torrance OF his duties, is the amount
prescribed by law, This means $4,000
per year andis sufficient to compensate
good man for the work The examina-
ton requirements are not exacting or
technical and any good fruitgrower
thoroughly up on methods Of Guilt
walton, with good knowledge of insect
pests and diseases of his county, can
easily pass, providing he is thoroughly
versed in the horticultural laws of the
state and county.
We have for distribution to pros
pectiVe card dates, copies OF these
laws, together with pamphlets on in
sect pests, diseases, beneficial insects,
etc., that may be had by applying to
this Office. Any one who intends to
become a commissioners, and therefore
must take this examination, and also
those who wish to be appointed in
spectors under the commissioner, a
position carrying salary of So. so per
day, should procure these and pre-
pare to take said examination, the only
restrictions being that the candidates be
citizens OF the county and not connected
in any way with the nursery business.
Printed notices will be posted in each
county, giving date and conditions of
such examinations, thirty days prior to
the holding of the examination; the
newspapers also will probably publish
this notice, with dates and place where
it is to be held.
This letter is written with the object
of giving publicity to this matter, as
far as possible, so that all may have an
opportunity to take the examination If
they desire, or to at least take an active
interest in seeing that we'll qualified
men do take the examination. thus as
surfing the county good commissioner.
In the past some dissatisfaction has
been expressed by growers, on account
of unfamiliarity with the proceedings.
We hope that the fruitgrowers of the
county will agitate this question, that
more efficient service may be given by
this important branch of the fruit in
dustry than under the old regime.
Respectfully yours,
o. E. BREMMER,
Secretary State Commission of Horti-
culture

Loose Leaf Record Books.

In the county recorders office the sys-
tenn of ioose-leaf records has been in

ses to effect saving in stationery, as
we'll as being neater than the hand
writing method. The leaves are taken
from the record book and the document
to be recorded is tyewritten on a Rem
ington machine made specially for that
sort of work. The leaf thus typewriter
is then inserted in its place in the re-
cord book, and when filed in this
manner the book is just as neat and
compact as the books with fixed bind

by this method, and considerably less
space taken than by the old process.

perSimmOns.

We were shown this week a bunch of
perSimmonS grown on the ranch of L.
A. Ferry, about one and a half miles
north of Volcano This semi tropical
fruit seems to grow to perfection in that
locality. The samples shown were
above the average in size. 1t requires
degree of frost to bring this fine fruit
to the most palatable state, and the
vicinity of the Ferry ranch seems to
have just the amount of frost needed.
There was no special care taken to raise
this fruit. 1t seems to taken naturally
to the soil and climate. We have also
seen sample of this fruit grown in Pine
Grove, which also is admirably adapted
for this purpose. Excellent samples of
hickory nuts were likewise exhibited,
grown in the orchard of George Preston
of Pine Grove. The possibilities of
the foothills region eight or ten miles
east of Jackson for fruit culture are not
half appreciated.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inllamed con
diton of the mucous lining of the Gus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
strOyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth

mucous surfaces.

A Coincidence.

A significant incident was brought to
our notice by an accident this week, as
throwing some light on the question of
who is running the Dispatch. In the
injunction proceedings to restrain the
PAYMENT of a bill for city printing on
the ground that W. M. Penny, one Of
the city trustees, was an interested
parity in the printing contract, it was
claimed that he was in no way interested
in thu receipts, expenses, or Management
Of the paper; that W. M. Penny jr, was
the whole thing. The Ledger Office re-
Gently ordered a quantity of printing
paper from a wholesale paper house in
San Francisco. BY mistake the firm
addressed the goods to the wrong place.
They discovered their mistake after
the goods had been shipped and prompt
ly notified us that the paper had been
shipped to "Wm, Penny & Son,
Our contemporary was notified to hand
the shipping receipt to this Office, which
was done. This shipping receipt bore
the address of "wm. Penny IL Son, 4"
The mistake would have no signigcunce
under ordinary circumstances. but in
the light of recent disclaimers, it tends
to support our contention, and the
opinion generally held in this COM
munity, that Penny Il Son is recognized
as the firm with which business houses
transact business with the Dispatch, a
position which is fully supported by the
columns of the Dispatch. Enough SAID.
