| brand Rapids 10.
One hundred and fifty people
from this city, Port Edwards
and Nekoosa went to the Point
Sunday and watched the locals
hand their neighbors a dab of
wall-coating at the end of each
OF the nine sessions. At least ff-
teen machines left this city and
each carried its capacity of fans.
The game was not as loose as
the score indicates. 1t was clean
baseball and one-sided from the
tact that the Pointers Sunday
had what every team experiences
at t1mes-"an off day." Errors
to the number of 6 were visible
on the score book against them,
while the locals had but one.
Nash allowed but five hits and
Moon was found for nine, but
greater number of strikeouts is
cfed1ted to the latter, he getting
six and Nash three.
Both teams were hitting the
ball but Nash kept the few hits
off him we'll scattered and every
man supporting him played al
most perfect ball.
The weather man predicted a
transform Sunday in the vi
clnity of the ball park but a "b"
found its way in just ahead of
"raln" and it's buzz from the di-
rectlon of second prolonged the
game.
The boys were given a square
deal and speak we'll of the treat
ment received there.

CAN'T BEAT LAF0LLETTE

Senator La Toilette has the op-
position so badly beatenthat they will
be completely showed under, and at

defeat him"
john Strange republican candidate
for governor, who has not hesitated
to criticise Senator La Toilette and
who has been considered at outs
with him for some time past, made
this emphatic declaration in Milwau-
kee Wednesday.
The so-called Taft republican con-
vention i'm Milwaukee a few weeks
ago was a great mistake, added Mr..
Strange. 81 know of nothing under
our political system that justifies
the intrusion of such a body of men
between the people and their expires
sion of choice. I believe lit was I'M
wise politically, and unwarranted.

they have UP their sleeve the people

CRANBERR|ES WILL
YIELD FAIR CROP
Blossom Blight and Frosts
Early Last Fall, Reasons for
Shorter Crop This Year.

The cranberry crop of last sea-
son was unusually large but more
than one-haf of it was destroyed by
the frosts on mornings of Septem-
Der l and and the terminal buds
ON the uprights that were not then
matured were injured ON many of
the bogs.
The growers have not been expect
ing large crop this season for the
reason stated above, but the vines
have come into blossom far better
than they expected.
AS a rule about 80 per cent of the
blossoms fail to go into fruit and
this is spoken of by the growers aus
Blossom Blight The cause of it
is believed to be heavy rains and
cold nights but up to date the warm
nights and dry weather has proved
favorable to the blossoms and they
are going into fruit quite rapidly. The
per cent of blight seems to be this
time small and our cranberry growers
are looking forward to a fair crop.
But it win require water to ma
ture the fruit and protect the vines
from the fall frosts. At this time
the water is extremely low ON all the
bogs and nothing short of a heavy
rainfall will give them a sufficient
supply of water. There are at this
time not half a dozen cranberry bOgs
in the country that have water e.
nOugh dor single flooding
And, unless We get rain before July
18th many of the blossoms that have
gone into fruit may still be blighted |
cause the fruit is not free from blight
until DIT us as large as No. shot.
On the whole up to this time cram
berries and corn have suffered less
from the dItouth than any other crop.

met it's Waterloo right, Sunday when
they went up aaginst the all4salaried

The locals retired at the close of the
game with a great big while Grand
Rapids had ten tallies on the stick
The game was witnessed by one Of
the best crowds of the season for Ste

much for the enthusiasm of the local
fans at that. A large part of the
crowd was made up of rooters who
came up on the Green Bay train
to see their team "eat 'em alive .
The train crowd was followed later il
the day by a bunch of fans who came
up in autos, about a dozen machines
making the trip.
Stevens Point lost the game thru
errors and inefficiency, showing lack
of team work and general practice
and gamey headwork. Moon pitched
a good game, allowing only eight hits
but Ill luck and Indifferent support

problem? Both cemeteries are only
about six or seven blocks distance

without Installing a large expensive
plant? VINO has the time to look
this matter up in detail and report?
visit to our local cemeteries will
convince the visitor and lot owner
that such dry hot spells as we are
now passing through water is very
much needed there. We need a good
