them with air. This knowledge gives
a hint as to one method by which
large numbers of mosquitoes may be
DESTROYED, a method that has been
employed successfully in mosquito
infected regions. A thin layer of
kerosene poured upon the surface OF
the water excludes the air and the
mosquitoes, unable to penetrate this
LAYER of kerosene, die of suffoca-
ton.
After period OF 10 or IL days to
n period OF three weeks, varying with
the species. the wriggler floats quiet
Iy upon the surface of the water. and
when the time is come. out from the
water-soaked coat slips the airy,
gauzy-winged mosquito. 1t is said
that mosquitoes prefer for the diet
the blood OF animals or man. but
since that is not always at hand they
quite easily become vegetarians and
subsist comfortably upon the juices
Of plants.
How tn Recognize the Malaria Carry
ing Mosquito.
There are very many mosquitoes
which have not yet been proven to
carry malaria. In fact, the majority
of mosquitoes are supposed TO be
harmless. except for tho irritation
produced by the bite. The common
est OF all mosquitoes belongs TO
certain group known as Culex. These
arc the ordinary mosquitoes breed
Ing in rain barrels and chance tenn
porary pools. The group that has
been proven TO carry the malaria
germ liz called Anophclcs. II Is not
necessary TO remember the names OF
these two particular groups. but II
Is necessary TO recognize the DIS
tingulshing characteristics and hab-
It's. The harmless mosquito has
clear wings. while the malarial mos
quito has wings more or less spotted.
When the harmless mosquito Is at
rest on the wall or upon any object.
IL appears more or less hump-backed
that Is. the head and beak point
downward toward the surface upon
which IL rests while tho body and
ahs sut
face. giving a hump-backed appear
ancc TO the body. With the mala-
rial mosquito. however. the head and
beak are in practically the same
plane with the body and when the
body Is at rest IL appears at an angle
with the object so that IL has the APP
pcaranee OF standing On its head.
This characteristic resting position
proves the most easily recognized
feature of tho malarial mosquito.
In the early stages the harmless
mosquito may be distinguished from
the malaria bearing variety in the
egg masses as they are seen In the
water. The harmless mosquito eggs
are always found In raft-shaped
masses lying on end. while the others
arc laid simply upon the surface OF
tho water. always lying upon their
sides The wrigglors OF the harm
less mosquito rise TO the surface OF
tho water to breathe, hanging head
downward, tho tail" or breathing
tube protruding above the surface.
The maiarial variety when resting at
tho surface is always parallel with
tho surface. never hanging head
downward.

The game at johnson Monday between
P. A. and johnson High promised to be
an interesting contest, but in the sixth
inning was brought to an abrupt close.
P. A. started the scoring in the second,
when they succeeded in sending six men
over the plate, Johnson getting one in
the third and five in the fourth, touching
up Barrows for several hits in this in
ming. Weafer pitched the fifth inning,
striking out two men and retiring the
third on an assist to first.
In the sixth Buker collided with Sar-
gent at first, who dropped the ball, Um-
pire Washer of Brigham Academy calling
Buker safe. Johnson then refused to
play unless Washer would change his
decision which he refused to do: upon
johnson persisting in their refusal to
play unless the Umpire would change
his decision, P. A. had no choice but to
stop playing; johnson now claims the
game forfeited by their own refusal to

The Game as johnson Saw It

A very interesting game occurred last
Monday afternoon at johnson, when ].
II. S. defeated Peoples Academy 8 to 0
on the new Waterman ground.
Walters pitched fine game, allowing
only four scattered hits, while p. AS
star pitcher, Mr.. Barrows, was driven
| from the box in the fourth inning. In
| the first inning p. A. men went out in
order. Neither did j. II. S, succeed in
scoring
The next inning p. A. ran six scores
over the plate with only two hits, every
score being got on errors. The " Blues
| did not succeed in scoring although there
| we're two hits. The next inning Nolan
| speared the ball, driving it over the right
| fielder's head. for a clean home run. This
being the summary of the scores this
| inning.
But it was in the might fourth, when
the "Blues" made the ''pig-skln-chasers"
dig for the timbers, making three bagers
and five singles, crossing home plate six
times This was enough to send P. AS
Wonder from the box, he being replaced
by Weafer There was no more scoring
during the game.
la the first of the sixth one of p. AS
men ran into Capt. Sargent on first base,
who fell so that he covered the entire
base, P. AS man not having an oppor-
tunity to touch it at all but the umpire,
which Morrisville was lucky to get, called
the man safe. Capt. Sargent put up a
kick an after showing the umpire the
rule book, P. AS man was called out.
p. AS men left the field never to return.
The johnson boys held the field and

PEOPLES ACADEMY WINS AGAIN
Base Ball News as "The Old Fan" Sees

Peoples Academy won from Brigham
Academy here last Saturday afternoon
| by the decisive score of to 1. In spite
of the score, however, the game was
closely contested throughout and al
though played in a drizzling rain, was
interesting from start to finish. Peoples
Academy hit the ball hard in the sixth
and seventh, scoring five of their runs in
those two innings. The locals started
the scoring in the second, when Daniels
went to first on an infield hit, stole third
and scored on Barrows' hit over second.
B. A. got their lone tally in the fifth ON
long fly to left, which Norton was I'M
able to field. In the sixth after two were
gone, Norton hit safe to center. scoring
on Kelley's hit, which was too warm for
Bryce, the latter succeeding in scoring
before the side was retired and in the
seventh some timely hits and several err
rors were responsible for three more,
which seemed good place to stop.
Features of the game was the gilt
edged support given Barrows by the
local bunch, the most noticeable of
which was the phenomenal one hand
catch of a hot liner by Buker in the
fourth inning, when he robbed the visit
ors of at least one run by an unassisted
double. With two men on bases and
nobody gone it looked bad for 50 Bippy."
when a heavy hitter from old B. A.
swatted the sphere in bee line some
distance over third but "Buke" succeed
ed in pulling it down and catching his
man, who had started home. Norton
and Thomas also pulled down some diff
cult ones. "Scotchy" lead the batting
list with three hits, while Kelley con-
nected for two. Barrows pitched heady
game for P. A. and Washer proved a
stronger man for b. A. than Walters,
who twirled for Brigham last year. He
has fine speed and good control. Each
pitcher struck out eight men.

The Plot to Down Obadiah.

It's developing that the plot to clown"
Obadiah Gardner at the Democratic
State convention was a deep laid one.
The Portland Express Advertiser is in
formed that printed matter in favor of
Obadiah was sent into localities which
were supposed to be friendly to him.
This printed matter went into the hands
of certain members of the Democratic
committees, and it was consigned to the
waste basket. 1t is very evident that
had Mr.. Gardner been given even half
a show he would have won. His strong
supporters are very angry at the sharp
practices which were used to defeat him,
and are nursing their wrath, which will
break out at the proper time. The Re-
publican Changers who were friendly to
Mr.. Gardner are also indignant at the
way their favorite was used, and they
want no more of the Democracy. The
vote for Gov. Fernald in the country dis
tricts will be very large one. Reports
from the rural sections are so favorable
to the Republican cause that those who
have placed Mr.. Fernald's majority at
10000 are inclined to raise their figures.
1t looks more and more like a Republican

LEGISLATIVE NOMINATIONS

The editor of Turf, Farm and Home
treated his readers last week to dis
sertation on suckers. Beginning with a
reference to the suckers which grow up
around apple trees in neglected orchards,
he touched upon "the sucker in human
form who cheats the world out of his
diving" the kind who act as though they
think the world owes them living and
they are bound to get it no matter who
is obliged to toll that they may loaf.
The portrait drawn of still another type
looks familiar.
Then there is the other sucker who
does work In fact, he works every one
he comes in contact with, regardless Of
their condition in life If they have any
thing that he can make use of they are
his prey, if it is within his power to make
them so. All kinds of feasible schemes
are concocted to land the luckless vic
tins in their web Those of wealth are
naturally first sought out, but no one is
TOO poor to escape their notice, II they
have any possessions that they can make
use of. Neither widows nor orphans are
immune from the sucker who would live
without work, regardless of what it costs
in the way of sacrificing manhood or
friendship. In some respects he is
a little more despicable than the COM
mon every day loafer, who would get
MS living without work simply and
solely because work calls for an effort.
The sucker who works people is willing
TO make all kinds of sacrifices, and to
labor early and late if he can in the end
3and his victims. No sacrifice on his part
is too great to accomplish his despicable
purpose.
