Girls Basketball

NNA1 AENoANNCoAA
A game of basketball will be play.
ed this evening between the girls
team Of the Astoria High School and
the fine girls team from the Mon
mouth Normal School. The Mon
mouth team Is said to be very
strong one, and perhaps the best in
the state among the girls. While
the local team is thought to be a
good team it has had little actual ex.
perience in games against other
teams, yet nevertheless a pretty spir-
tied contest is looked for tonight.
The game willbe in the Athletic Club
gymnasium and an admission fee will
be charged, as the expenses of the
visiting team must be met. For the
home team, Fannie Gregory and EIva
Jeldness will play forwards; Addie
Abercrombie and Lennah Parker,
guards; Myrtle Harrison, center; and
Leola Balyl and Bernice McGregor
win be in readiness as substitutes.
In the interests of athletic it may be
a sort of duty for Astorians to give
their patronage to the game, and
there is no question that all will get
their moneys worth"

That the two schedules are deemed
100 lengthy and warmly contested liti-
eation is clearly indicated by the
Ga that practically all the railroad in
fuences, except these of the Gulf &
Ship Island lines, and nearly all the
commercial interests will be found
fighting on one side or the other.
All except he river towns are bit
terly opposed to the rates ordered on
compressed cotton, while all but Gulf
coast and intermediate points oppose
the rates on compressed bales.
AT the same time the commercial
interests of New Orleans and Mem
phis. who see in the new rates an
advantage for the Gulf coast as against
those two points, will join hands with
the railroads.

While the Mississippi commission
has made no effort to tamper with
rates of interstate shipments, inter-
state towns where Mississippi cotton
has been going in the past realize
that the new rates will inevitably di-
vert much of this traffic to Gulfport
and will make an effort TO get 1t into
The federal courts if any possible inter
state question can be raised. The

be done. Neither does Hon. c. H.

morcal bodies who drew up the or
der which was passed by the commits
sion. and who expressed the opinion

LATTER To WAGE The

While Steel Magnate Is To Lead in
Battle Against PeIlasra-WiII Be
Greatest Concerted War On Disease

By Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-The Globes
special from Washington, D. c., says:
Following close upon the announce
ment that John d. Rockefeller will
give $10OO,000 to fight the hook worm
disease in this country, it is reported
here that Mrs. Russell Sage will an
nounce soon a million-dollar gift to-
ward the war on tuberculosis. Furth-
ermore, Government officials believe it
is likely that Andrew Carnegie will
see his way to follow in the footsteps
of Mr.. Rockefeller and Mrs. Sage and
give $1000,0O0 to be used in battling
with another deadly scourge of the
human race-pellagra.
If these three multimillonaires COM
bine in their efforts to stamp out hook
worm, tuberculosis and pellagra. it will
mean the greatest concerted war on
disease that ever was waged in the
history of mankind.

any work to make living.
Charlie Cohen, negro was assessed
$50 by Judge Davis upon conviction OF
charge of stealing brass pieces from
the ~ O. & n. f. railroad Coher
said "a man" had asked him to bring
the piesces to the railroad shops. bu

JACKSON, Miss, November AN
effort will be made at the approach
ing session of the legislature to i'll
crease the state pension appropria-
ton to $5OO,OOO.
The present allowance is 100000
per annum, and that it is inadequate
for the proper care and sustenance of
the INDECENT ex-Confederates is prov
en- by the heavy increase in the pen
sion roll this year, and the consequent
reduction of the pro rata for non-
preferred classes, which will be only
$3.50 each, or S225 less than that of
last year.
Indications are that the pension roll
will continue to show a steady in
crease for the next five years, after
which a steady decrease may be ex-
pected owing to the depletion of the
ranks by death. AS a rule, ConfeI
crate veterans do not apply for pen'
sons until in actual need, and large
majority on the rolls are now between
the ages of 65 and rs years.

CjrcumstantiaI Evidence.

While it is said that so far as the
evidence against these negroes is en-
tirely circumstantial, yet it is said
to be rather strong, and officers who
have been working on the case are
confident that the grand jury will re
turn indictments against them.
Another session of the jury of in.
quest was held last night at the Of
flee of Magistrate Bolton. but officers
of the court are very reticent about
giving out information in connection
with the case, in anticipation of fur
ther developments.
1t is understood that both negroes
have retained the services of Judge
Paul B. Johnson, and the case prom
ises to furnish an unusual amount OF

Some Of us seem to fail to see the
necessity for being regular in feeding
and watering the sheep, writes N. A.
Clapp IN the American Agrlculturist.
The system requires nourishment con-
staDtly In order to be maintained and
keep up a constant growth of wool.
The part oftenest neglected is the
water Because sheep can live with
out water for considerable length of
time is no proof that they do not need
water regularly. Their feed is dry
when eaten and swallowed and re-
quires water to soak it before 1t IL
raised in the form Of cud and re-
masticated To withhold the water is
to withhold one of the prime necessi-
ties in the process OF digestion and as
similation. Except on the very coldest
days sheep will take water twice per
day, and If one is in a position to keep
track of the water that a flock Of a
hundred breeding ewes will take one
will note that the amount is almost in
credible.

Clark College President Used Mathe-

When Colonel Carroll d. Wright,
president of Clark college at Worces-
ter, Mass, and former United States
labor commissioners, was young man
be was appointed by the church with
which he was connected chairman of
the committee on music. He was no
musician, but he was a mathematician,
and be used mathematics to direct
music.
He promptly made three of the COM
mittee members of the quartet. That
removed the possibility Of friction be-
He soon found, however, that there
was some feeling between the con-
tralto and the soprano singer. Either
was likely to exhibit sensitiveness if
the other seemed TO be assigned to
Solos the more frequently or here
prominently.
When Easter. Sunday came it so hap
pened that the anthem, which had been
selected as suitable for the occasion
contained very long soprano solos.
The eontralto soloist was plainly dis
/ concerted. Noting this, the chair
man Of The music committee quietly
whispered to her that he had made
an accurate measurement of the num-
ber Of inches Of the soprano part and
that he would see to 1t before the
month was out that anthems were Sc
lected which not only harmonized with
the religious needs of the occasion,
but afforded an equal number Of inches
Of contralto solo. Il am not much Of
musician" Mr.. Wright is said to
have added, "but I am great on fig
ures You can trust me to equalize
the account to the eighth az an inch.
! This piece Of waggishness, which
naturally put an end to friction IN the
choir, furnished a key to Colonel
Wright's success in life, This choir
incident Of his youth epitomizes his

The Care Of Sheep.

Sheep always seem TO enjoy pure air
and considerable liberty IL the yards
are so arranged that they can stir
around IN fair weather through the
day they will take the evening meal
with relish, and when they have
lain down for the night thoy VIII pre-
sent a picture Of sublime contentment
and satisfaction. Exercise promotes
the health of the sheep and insures
better results with the lamb crop than
can be secured If they are closely con-
fined
The breeding ewes should be shell
tered from all storms, rain, snow or
wind They are nervous and sensitive
and should not be compelled to rSsist
storm or cold wind. The quality Of
the wool win be better and the fleece
heavier IL they are not soaked by
rains or compelled to resist the wind.
Make the sheep comfortable should be
the invariable ruse--American Agri-
culturist.
