MINOR HEIR BEATS
GREAT DAN PATCH.
Two Worlds Greatest Horses

out.

Minor Heir, 1:591a, has met and de-
feated Dan Patch, 1:55, champion
harness horse of the world.
The encounter took place on the
track of the international Stock Food
Farm last week. Minor Heir was
driven by Harry Hersey, and owner
M. w. Savage, enjoying an outing,
was cup" behind the champion. The
time was only 2:15 on account of the
early season but the worlds two fast
est harness horses were allowed to
step the last quarter close to two
minute gait. While the course is an
association track the race was not
paced at an advertised meeting and
80 the record will not stand. Dan
Patch is still the crowned monarch of
the horse world, but the phenomenal
burst of runaway speed of his already
famous stable mate brought forth the
applause of every one present and
made certain the fact that Dan will
have to look out for his laurels when
the bwo meet in real competition at
the Minnesota State Fair.
Just why the little brown stallion
was able to win from Dan Patch is
much mooted question among the
fifty farm employees and the visitors
present at the performance. 1t is
hinted that Hersey took little pro-
fessional pride in seeing his employer
finish second. Mr.. Savage refused to
be- interviewed except to make the
statement that the defeat had nothing
to do with the reinsmen and that he
would challenge Hersey to another
contest on the next pleasant work
out day.
Minor Heir looked pleased while
Dan Patch himself, who has never
allowed any other than a running
horse to finish ahead of him, retired
to his quarters in the international
bash without making any comment.
TIE perfect June. day and the fine
condition of the track made it possi-

Tellino q Cows Ace.

A cows age is indicated by her
horns. At the age of two ring of
thick material forms at the base of
each horn, and one ring is added every
year after this becomes apparent. To
find the age, therefore, count the rings
and add two. In the case Of a bull,
however, the first ring does not appear
until he is five years old, and one an
nual ring appears after that, so to the
number of rings on bulls horns five
must be added. The result attained is,
however, only approximately correct,
for not only is the time of appearance
of the first ring uncertain, but occa-
sionally two rings appear in one year,
and then again sometimes a year is
omitted, no ring being formed. A dis
honest dealer can also change the ap-
parent age of the animal by fling off
some of the rings from it's horns, so
that complete reliance on this sign is
sometimes very ceptive.-Exchange

twice as much work as any two girls
not sisters would. You see when
they've been to dance or a show the

GAME OF ERROR BALL
Exhibition Given by Indepen-
dents and Herman.

The Morris Independents took trip
to Herman last Sunday to play the
Herman team.
The game that both teams put up
was real good sample of the game of
"error ball." The object of this game
was to see which team can make the
most errors. Morris won but Her
man made the most scores, so can
really claim the game according to the
ancient rules of base ball.
The score at the end of the farce
was II to 13 in favor of Herman, they
making one in the last of the 9th.
The game abounded in misplays and
good hitting. Neither team seemed
to be able to do anything on the dia-
mond, but both showed up good at
the stick.
Dahlman was on the slab for Her..
man, but was lifted in the second inn
ing and Linden replaced him but could
not do much better with the support
he was getting. Bloom for the Inde-
pendents, pitched good ball, but it is
impossible to make showing when
no one can stop ball. Nearly every
man on both teams booted a couple,
so that no one needed to think that
the other fellow lost the game.
Final score, Independents IL, Her.

What Bound With Straw.
(By Alderman Lund.)

1t has long been the dream of har-
vest mechanism that would success
fully bind bundles with a straw band
instead of twine Or wire. Such a ma
chine is now possible through the eff
forts of Albert Izor of Indianapolis
and the financial backing given him
by August Kiefer.
Fourteen years ago the Brown
Straw Binder Company was organ
lied in Indianapolis to experiment on
an invention by man after whom
the company was named. Brown
thought he had the correct idea, but
he failed to work it out, and disposed
of his interest in the company about
seven years ago. Albert Izor has
been the president of the company
the last twelve years and has given
much of his time and thought to the
invention. 1t is due to A. A. Han
cocks inventive mechanical ability
that the present machine has been
perfected. He took charge of the
work four years ago and meet many
failures, but triumphed at last. 1t is
peculiar coincidence in that it took
fourteen years to develop the twine
binder and the same time for the
straw binder.
The straw binding apparatus can be
adapted to any of the standard make
machines, and it is said does not make
the machine any more expensive.
The apparatus is simple The straw
comes on conveycr to be formed in
to a bundle as usual with twine
binders. After enough straw has
been received the pressure releases
the trip which starts the twister. This
mechanism grasps enough straw to
make rope long enough to encircle
a bundle once and half. 1t takes
the band from the butt end of the
bundle and does not waste any grain.
The knotter grasps the band after it is
twisted and twists the two ends into a
knot. The next operation is by the
"tncker," which tucks the twisted
ends under the band, completing the
operation. The knot is similar to the
one used in binding by hand, but it is
tighter and more uniform.

gave her his seat; "the car bumps SO

TO UNITE CITIES
PsTENIx CITY AND GERARD MAY

Mas Meeting VIII De Held Tomorrow to D1scuss the Subject-Sev-
 erul Influential Men Will Speak.

Phenix City, March 2s.-(Special.)- Thore will be a mass meeting or the c.tixens of Phenix City and Girard held in the Council Chamber of Phenix City Tuesday night. for the purpose Of dis cnssing the question of uniting the two cities Into one.
 Several we'll known speakers have accepted invitations to deliver address es. and 1t promises to be one of the most largely attended and most inter. esting meetings that has ever been held In the city.
 Several out-of-town gentlemen. in- cluding some from Columbus. will be lows: Mayor D. c. Foster ot Gtrard. Representative W. ]. Price of Girard. Representative Homer R. Dudley of Scale, State Senator F. Herndon Glenn of Scale. R. H. Moreland of Girard, President of the Girard Warehouse Company; Col. George c. Porter. l. I. Moses, c. T. Clifford of Girard: Dr. U. Mayor T. W. Britton, Col. George A Hayes and Hon. Warren Williams of Phenix City: Hon. G. Gunbv Jordan. President of the Eagle and Phenix Mills and of the Third National Bank of Columbus. It is likely that others also will address the meeting.
 The union of the two cities has been dIScuSScu I1OTc UT IcsS lof oCNOA hA yooic past, but this Is the first move that has been made in this direction. Ad- vocates of the movement are very en- thusiastic over 1t. They see great good to result from such a step. They be- lieve that with one town instead of two much greater things may be ac- complisted than can possibly be done under present conditions.
 Among some of the things pointed out that will come to such town Ia Government building with free delivery of mail: a court house with city and county courts: better streets, lights. water and fire department. It is the intention to unite the two towns and move the county line either north or south so as to have the town in one county. At present Phenix City Is in Lee County and Girard in Russell.
 Such a town would be city of con- siderable size and importance in point of population. The United States cen- sus of 1900 gave the two cities a com bined population of a little more than 5000. It is safe to assume that the to- tai population of the two cities now is not under 10000. It is believed that with the towns united Improvements would be speedily begun and pushed rapidly and that in the course of a short time Alabama would have on tho eastern boundary one of the largest and most important cities within her borders.
