Never Through Work.

1t is customary when we have laid
by our crops to take the world easy
until harvesting time. When we finish
harvesting our crops in the late fall
we say that we are through work. The
sooner we realize the fact that we are
never through work the better 1t will
be for us.

Hi||y Land for Sheep.

Hilly land is especially adapted to
the raising Of sheep. They are almost
as good as goats for clearing brushy

money crops every year. one in the

sold. Make a beginning by purchasing
a few good ewes and good ram.

MISS TAFT BEATEN
IN SBMI-FINALS
McClung and Miss Greble
Tennis Winners.

Miss Helen Taft, daughter Of the
President. and her partner. H. L. Spen-
Ger. lost a well played match to Miss
Greble and Lee McClung. in the semi
final round Of the mixed doubles in the
Chase Club yesterday afternoon. The
scores were 6-1 and 6-3.
A large crowd was out to see the
Presidents daughter play. and 1t was
well repaid for the trouble. as the
match was much more interesting than
the score indicates.
Miss Helen Taft won the only game
in the opening set by her puzzling left
hand service. Miss Greble and Mr.. Nc
Chung displayed splendid teamwork. In
the second set Miss Taft won many
points by clever net work. while Miss
Greble excelled in her side line shots.
The losing Of this match puts Miss Taft
and Mr.. Spencer out Of the running in
the mixed doubles for the prize cup Of
fered to the winners.
The only other match played yester-
day was in the semi finals OF the ladies'
singles, when Miss E. Chew
defeated Miss Helen Downing after two
sets. by the scores of 60
and 81. The second set was the bet
ter one. as 1t took sixteen games before
the winner was decided. Miss Clew
played especially well at the base line.
while her opponent made many good
shots from the net.
This afternoon at o'clock Miss e.
Chew will play Mrs. Brooke in tho
finals, and Miss Chew will also meet
Miss Shepherd in the final round Of the
ladies' scratch singles. This will close
the tourney.
