The team has been hard at practice
the last few days and is in good
shape
Brown, Taft and Palm look good
to US, and with these pitchers the
Brownies will have the best pitch
ing staff in the state. Toles has been
working out Srd and short in prac-
tice, but he is too good End base
man to change. If we get the new
men TOTES should remain on the End
sack. Palm is a hard working play
er. and goes into the game to win
That is the kind of a player to have
on a team. Griffith has no back
stop behind him now, since the stand
was burned, but We have to hand it
to Grif; he very. seldom lets one go
by
Pitcher Haley who was released
here has accepted position with the
Refugio baseball team.
Sam Bell and Palm are both good
fast outfeIders. Palm works in LEFT
field when he is not used in the box.
Bell in center cannot be beat and he
is also good hitter.
Juni Cobolini is hitting the ball
hard and leads the team in hitting.
ToIes leads the infelders in field
ing. He also leads in runs scored
and stolen bases.
No games have been scheduled
since the grandstand burned, but as
soon as the new players arrive
Brownsville will again arrange games
with the strongest in the state.
With the following players and
those to arrive later, Brownsville will
have a stronger team than ever: Crit
fifth, catcher; Brown, Taft and Palm,
pitchers; Cobolini, LIST base; Toles,
End base; Bell outfeld, Kowalski.
outfeld and Rorke, outfield.
ToIes never fails to steal a base.
He stole home on three different oc-
casions. Once in the Bay City series,
again at McAllen and at Monterey.
He has crossed the counting station
on steals.
Mgr. Cummins is busy man these
days. He certainly is a hard worker
for his team, and is the right man
in the right place. All the boys like
him and do their best for him.

The necessary steps of incorporating
under the state laws and securing a
franchise from the city government
There still remains about $4,000 to
be secured in subscriptions to the
stock of the company which should
be done without much difficulty The
city government will without doubt
grant the required franchise. The
necessary ordinances requiring resi-
dents within the sewer district to
connect with the system, and also
regulating the operation of the sewer
plant so as to subserye the best in
terests of the city and to guard the
rights and welfare of all concerned,
also will probably be passed by the
council without delay, and the COM
pany can then proceed at once to Sc
cure plans and bids for the construc-
ton of the plant The outlook is con-
sidered very favorable and The Her
aid believes that Brownsville will be
equipped with a sewerage system be-
fore theclose of the present year. Thus
one more long stride will be made
by Brownsville along the path which
leads to metropolitan greatness.

PAYS TO RAISE WEEDS.
These "P!ants Out Of Place" Have .
Fixed Market Value.

Money :n weeds? TO be sure. The
national department of agriculture has
been for many years telling the farm
ers Of the large money value going to
waste each year in this country In the
shape of pernicious weeds and has
been issuing bulletins with directions
for collecting, curing and selling the
weeds. A quarter of century ago
DR. George B. Loring. the commissions
er Of agriculture, called attention tc
the fact that in Germany many OF the
commonest and most pernicfous weeds
that the American farmer has to con-
tend with were successfully and prof
itably cultivated. Burdock, dandelion,
witch grass, foxglove, mullctn, hore-
hound, jimson mustard and water
hemlock are among our commonest
weeds and grow In great profusion al
most everywhere in the United States.
Ordinarily they are regarded merely
as troublesome weeds. The trouble, OF
course, is in the lazy habit Of attempt
ing to grow weeds and cultivated crops
on the same land at the same time.
So it often happens that the witch
grass between the potato rows IS more
valuable than the tubers in the hills.
When you raise weeds you must make
q business OF 1t. Land that will raise
nothing else will raise weeds. The
timson grows In rank profusion about
the feed lot. the front yard is yellow
with dandelion flowers, and the flow
ers of the MULLEN bedeck the pastures.
The burdock grows In the roadside
fence corners, and the waste lot pro
duces an abundance Of witch grass and
comfrey, yet majority OF the drug
weeds used in medicine in this coun-
try are still imported and paid for at
high rate.
Without counting wormwood, tansy
and rhubarb. all Of which are weeds IN
favored places. and without including
catnip or pennyroyal or any Of the
mints. the American people are pay
ing out more than 100000 a year In
hard earned money for imported
weeds which are growing wild in near
ly every part Of the country. The I'M
ports for the year 1908 were as fol-
lows:
