About the most expensive invest

but difficult to kiu out. Much Of the
poor seed on the market is full of
weed seeds. some Of them the worst
possible. There is on RECORD one case
where lot of dodder seed was DELHI
erately put In the bottom of sack Of
first class clover seed. The dodder
would soon take the profits out of the
clover, once it started growing in the
field. Every man owes it to himself to
get seed from reliable dealers. The
still surer way, especially If seed is to
be purchased in large quantity. is to
get small sample of the seed before
purchasing and have 1t tested.

they forecasted whirlwind game to

Everybody Gets Hit
Every member of the Norfolk team
was recorded safe hit and most of
them stole bases. Immediately after
the first inning, it was seen that Co.

and Wynkoop, Norfolk's star pitcher
suggested that other members of the
team be given a chance TO show their
skill in ball twirling. Capt. Hoffman
announced that if five scores would
be made in the second inning, Player
Reynolds would be put in the box
Six scores were made but Capt. Hoff,
man kept Reynolds in the field and
put in Watson. This twirler was re,
played by Wagner, one of the heavy
local batters, who surprised the play
ers with his ability with "spitball
which struck out three men.

1t was boys play and the fans were
given a change from the monotony by
the "see-sawing" of the Norfolk play

catch of high fly for which he had
to run some distance. Reynolds and
Dudgeon also featured in a double
play. Otherwise the game was with
out interest. Boettcher, who went in
the box first for Columbus, was batted
badly and Totenhoft, formerly Nor
