COUNTRY SPORT
 ON A JOY RIDE

Hugh Shepard, a business man of Hartland Conn.,, came to Bridgeport yesterday to enjoy a little relaxa tion from the pressing cares of his custom ary surroundings. He had $50 in cold cash in his jeans when he struck the town and intimated to casual ac- Quaintances that he would show this sleepy old burg something out of the ordinary. He hired an automobile from the Miller garage and invited a few ladies whom he had met on the midway to participate in a joy ride. The evening passed pleasantly enough for Shepard and the indications are that the ladies also enjoyed the occa- sion, for when Shepard returned to the garage his roll had evaporated and he was unable to pay the rent of the car. He was arrested by Patro1man O'Neill on a charge of drunkenness. Judge Wilder released Shepard in the City court this morning on suspended judg- nient.
 After court Shepard said: "I had $50 b-gosh when I struck the town, and how it got away I can't see. They have a funny way of charging for those automobiles anyway There's something strange about this case and when get back to Hart1and I'm going to figure it out and see what's wrong.
 Shepard lost his hat when on his joy ride. He hunted up some friends in

WANTED;;VACANT LAND TO BE
 CULTIVATED
Vacant Lot Cultivation Committee Would Like to Hear From Those Who Will Furnish Plots.

The Vacant Lot Cultivation commit tee want the use of land which is do- ing nothing to raise crops of vegetables for people who have small incomes and who suffered during the financial panic, but are ready and willing tc till the soil for food supply.
 Some of the vacant lots which were in use a year ago cannot be secured this spring because of prospective building operations, and others must be abandoned because the soil is not sufficiently fertile
 Land owners desiring to help on this work which was so successfully car ried out last year may communicate te with the committee at the woodward in Thomas street, telephone 15SS-2, dur ing the day, or at the Y. M. c. A. of flee in the evening.
 The use of land in this way brings into practice the economic principle of helping people to help themselves, brings them good returns in food of the best, and a degree of health which the factory confined wage earner sometimes can gain in no other way.
 The relief woodward in Thomas street is augnenting it's service to unemploy- ed men at this time by giving partic- ular attention to the calls for men to help in spring housekeeping and in clearing up grounds and working in gardens.
 The yard was opened during the hard times of 1908 to provide work for men who needed it. A great amount of wood has been chopped and sold dur ing the year. Many men have been provided with work.

BALDNESS UNKNOWN

One of the most prominent drug gists in America made a statement a few weeks ago which has caused a great deal of discussion among sci entists in the medical press.
 He said: ''If the new hair grower, Parisian Sage, increases it's sale as it has during the past year, it will be used by nearly every man, woman and child in America within eight years.
 And when Partisan Sage is used al- most universally, dandruff will disap- pear, and with its departure badness, itching scalp, splitting hair and all scalp diseases will follow and twenty years from now a bald head will be rarity.'
 There's only one way to cure dan- druff and that is to kill the germ There is only one hair preparation that will kill the germ, and that is Parisian Sage. It is guaranteed to cure dandruff. stop falling hair and itching of the scalp in two weeks, or money back.
 It is the most pleasant and invig- orating tonic, and is not sticky or greasy.

FIRST LEAGUE
 GAME FRIDAY
''0ratOrs" Will Meet "Authors" at New. field Park Grounds - Trial Game With Orioles Tomorrow Afternoon.

Clear skies and a light spring breeze is all that is needed to give Bridge ports baseball fans the first league game of the season, Friday afternoon, when Harry DurantS Authors will come down from the wildS of New Haven county and try to take the cold weather kinks out of their fingers, by crossing bats with O'Rourke's Ora tors.
 Uncle Jeems has had the Newfield Park grounds rolled out and smoothed billiard table. Mayor Tenry Lee, who did not miss many games last year, will toss the first ball across the plate.
 F The big noise will start at 3:15 o'clock. The Bridgeport team will have Phelan on the initial bag, Bour- quin on second, dilt at short, Miller on third, McKenna in left garden, Hi Ladd in the role he created, and a new man in right field.
 There will probably be a new catch CT behind the bat, although the team has three when Uncle Jeems is count ed. The new catcher is Kocher who comes from the stable of the Philade1- phia Americans, recommended by Con- nie Mack. If names count for any thing Kocher ought to make a good 'Ketcher.'' The other catchers are Jamieson and McAloor.
 Art Romer will probably pitch, all though the twirling department also has Powell, Pollard and Gibbs

VERDE VALLEY WILL
 HAVE OWN ICE PLANT
From Wednesdays Daily,

|
 Announcement was made yesterday by J. H. Wingfield, a merchant of
 Camp Verde, that in a few weeks he
 and others would begin the installa-
 ton of an ice and refrigerating plant at that place and this action was the result of a careful consideration of the necessity of such an enterprise.
 MT. Wingfield says that the loss the Verde people annually bear in the lack of proper facilities to care for their meats and produce in lower temperature, shows a very heavy loss financially. This is especially notice able in the long summer months. where the temperature is torrid and last season during the warmer period this was fOreibly brought home to many producers. Another disagree able feature in that section is the absence of an ice supply and this one commodity will in itself be an in- dueement to inaugurate and operate the plant.
 Fruit shipments out of that region will be of four fold greater tonnage if the refrigerating service is extend ed and the wilful waste that prevail ed last summer will be saved the grower through this project. The ab- senee of fresh meat is a vexed prob- lem that annually faces that section for several months and to remedy this is the motive of the promoters of the enterprise. The creation of a big canning enterprise for that valley IS now practically assured and in which the refrigerating plant will necessarily be attached to it's opera tion. MT: Wingfield says that the new plant will be located near his place of business and that it will be running early in the spring. He IS here to make the necessary ar for the building of it and the buying of the necessary ma ehinery.
