have heard quite great deal of
knocking around town against the
Cairo ball team and Manager Flood
so took an afternoon off and visited
the park to see for myself what kind
Of team we have for advertising
Cairo
The grand stand was pretty well
filled but with complimentary
tickets issued to ladies on account
of Ladies' Day" There was not
near the amount of men present that
should be.
Well. the game started off fast
and furious. Cairo soon forged
ahead and it was not by any dumb
playing on the parts of the Fulton
PLAYERS either but just that old pep
per that Is characteristic in good
baseball team.
Cairo finally won by a good score
making it two defeats for the lead
ers. Now, don't you think that the
merchants and all others should
stop knocking and be boosters.
BY patronizing the ball games and
roofing hard for your home team
is one of the best ways of boosting
your town during the summer.
We have the best town in the
League, have expended more money
for public and private improvements
than any two other towns, have the
best part in the circuit and still we
can't get crowd to our week day
games | understand that the week
day attendance hardly covers the
guarantee We ought to have at
least three hundred at every game.
or course, I don't mean go to .evry

The Visiting Knocker, as gen.
eral rule, Is the travelling man. He
remains in your city only long
enough to find the most glazing de-
fects. and then he goes on his way,
knocking at every opportunity.
The only way to successfully cope
with the Visiting Knockers to make
your city SO perfect he will not be
able to find any material. and then
he will become a Booster.
So long as Cairo's Knockers use
their hammers to build, let us aid
.aem, The improvements they make
will advertise themselves.

There is one convincing reason,
even IL there were no others, why a
growing city should, as early as pos
sible, extend its boundary lines In
every direction so as to include ter.
ritory that will not be solidly built
for fifty or even a hundred years.
The streetways OF city ought to be
planned not merely with regard to
the city that is, but with regard to
the greater city that is to be. And
as the greater city that is to be will
spread beyond existing boundary
lines and into new territory, It fol-
lows that the city should not delay
In obtaining control OF surrounding
areas and planning the more extern
slye scheme Of streets and avenues
upon uniform system.

TOMATOES AND HOW TO SERVE.

Tomatoes contain an acid WHICH is
valuable In the body functions. Served
fresh alone or In combination they
are especially wholesome. and sliced
served with cream and sugar they
rival the favorite peaches and cream.

vegetable. Cut the toma oes In halves.

bread crumbs and broil five minutes.

Clover In Corn Fields.

The Rhode Island station has for
many years grown Indian corn con-
tinuously on the same acre OF land
with the aid OF chemical fertilizers.
One-fourth acre is underdrained and
receives no cover crop. second quar-
ter acre Is treated In the same man
ner, excepting the understanding;
crimson clover is grown on a third
quarter and winter rye on the fourth
quarter, at the last cultivation of the
corn, AS q result it has been found
that net gain OF but ss cents per
acre has resulted from sowing the
rye, but the gain from using the clov-
er has been $419 per acre per annum.
AS result a considerable number OF
farmers Of the state are now sowing
clover or other legumes in their corn
fields. North of Rhode Island red
clover Is generally preferred.

Mayor Tells Purdy Equalization

s6o.oOO,OOO BOND ISSUE
Private Capital Still Needed
for Subways, Gaynor
Reiterates.

Navor Gaynor complmented President
Pl,rdy of the Tax Board and his asso-
cites. after they had called In person to
present the assessment rolls yesterday
morning In an address he pointed out
that now that the assessments had been
eoualized there would probably be no more
than -, normal increases added for some
years TO come.
He took occasion to say that In spite or
a prospective increase in the debt limit OF
some xSO.O0.c0o allowing for possible re-
ductions. he was still in favor OF getting
az much private capital as possible to
build subways. as a bond issue of S6o,0c,Ooo
was soon to be fioated, making total OF
$40 900 900 for the year.
