Brandon, Miss

II In riding through the country
roads a winged insect flies into the
ear, do not try to dislodge by poking,
for that will send it further in, and
the buzzing against the drum Of the
ear become almost unbearable. Hold
the head over to one side and fill the
ear with water, which usually browns
the insect and floats it out If house
is nearby where you can get sweet
oil, that is better yet.

The first boy to come to the bat may
be any enc of several hundred type, but
he is sure to have but one idea, to "hit
the ball on the nose" and send 1t spinning
into the far distant horizon This may
also be noticed CT all the other youthful
aspirants who later take up their po-
sitions before the pitcher. The results

Fortunately the next boy up is a nervous
one, who shows Discrimination to put
himself where the ball may hit him. The
pitcher makes the most Of this. and by
good fortune he is able, to 4 certain ex-
