Head of the Dairy Herd.

1t is important that the dairy herd
be headed by a pure-berd bull of
some dairy breed, by all means of a
distinctly dairy type. masculine in ap-
pearance, prepotent and a descend
ant of recognized milking stock. The
farmer owning small dairy herd will
do much better to go in with his neigh
bors and buy good bull than he will
do to buy one for himself. In this
way a better animal at less indi-
vidual expense, will be secured. The
foundation of neighboring herd will
thus be laid, bred along similar lines,
and the neighboring farmers will find
q source of mutual profit.

DAMAGE for add Seeds

1t is not an easy matter to get re-
dress from a scotsman or nurseryman
for selling seeds or trees not true to
name. In case of suit the farmer
must be prepared to prove that the
damage was really caused by the par
ticular seed, or that the trees were the
identical ones originally sold. The
defendant in such case will try to
show that the farmer cannot be sure
Of the goods.

Society Takes Up Rouge.

Paris.-A year ago fashionable soci-
ETY. women were blanching their faces.
It was considered the worst possible
form to make up like an actress. To-
day facial makeup has become the
rage and every society woman makes
a liberal use of the rouge pot, black
pencil and face cream.
The practice would not be so no
ticeable if the makeup were applied
with discretion, but the trouble is that
most of the women are made up in
the crude and extreme style of the
stage.

Any colt looks pretty decent when

Fort Pierce Lost
Fourth of July Game

The Fort Pierce baseball team went
10 West Palm Beach last Monday even
ing and helped entertain the populace
of that city on the Fourth in an inter-
.esting ami hard fought baseball game
on the Royal Poinciana diamond, In
which the Beach boys were victorious
by the score of to 2.
The game was purely a apitchcrs bat
tie between Tucker OF Fort Pierce ano
Littrell Of West Palm Beach in which
honors were pretty evenly divided. and
errors were responsible for all scores
made on each side. The team from
This place made an excellent showing
when one considers the absence OF three
regular heavy left handed hitters ana
their places filled by players who have
never played with the team. Fort

Judge Minor Jones
VIII Practice Law

Hon. Minor S. Jones completes his
term as circuit Judge today, June Both,
after having served in that capacity
for the past fourteen years. His record
as a capable, upright, impartial dis
penser of the law for these years has
endeared him to the heapts Of his peo.
pie in this county and the entire cir
cult. The great regret is that he should
be cut off so suddenly from a charge in
which he was the unanimous choice OF
both the people and the members of the
bar.
Judge Jones has the opportunity
right now of moving to one of the lar.
gest cities in Florida and engage 10 the
practice Of law which would remuner.
ate him far more than the judgship but
he has decided to remain in Titusville
and says that no inducements will lead
him to change his home from among
US. He will practice law again, and no
doubt will receive remunerative prac.

Baseball Club
Asks f0rHeLp
Team VIII Disband if
Not Strengthened.

Unless the public spirited people Of
Fort Pierce and vicinity come forward
within the next few days and lend some
little financial assistance to the base
ball club all efforts to have organized
baseball here during this season will be
abandoned.
Notwithstanding the excellent show
ing made by the home team during
The past few weeks when they have
held their own with Miami and Palm
Beach, the Fort Pierce clnb is handi-
capped by the lack Of sufficient funds
with which to carry on the affairs OF
the team.
1t is not proposed by the manage.
ment to employ long string of players
but ia order to sufficiently strengthen
the team it is necessary TO hire two
players In addition to Jess Tucker and
Lew Tenney unquestionably the tw
stars of the East Coast league.
That Tucker has lost single game
this season is due to the fact that he
has not had the proper support in the
field, and all that is needed to give him
this support in tho addition of two more
players, one of wnom will be Ralph
vanLandingham, if the people Of Fort
Pierce will lend theft aid.
With young VanIandingham and one
one other good infielder the home team
would be in a class by itself, as has
been indicated by the games that have
been played thus far this season. ~
In the games he has pitched Tucker
has not allowed but five hits In any one
and in no instance were there two made
in any single inning. This record is.
sufficient in itself to show that the team
is weak in some spot-and that spot
should lie covered.
Yesterdays game with Palm Beach
on the local diamond is the last that
will be seen this season in Fort Pierce
unless the people Of the town lend
their assistance, and ifevery fan would
donate his mite, attend the gamei reg
ularily and patronize their benefits
this end could easily be Accomplished
Remittances for the club can be
nalled to L. Roy Willis, Manager. or
