the quickest way to wealth throufh
a rise in the value of land, lies in seE-

As the Pierz correspondent had to
make a pass at the Buchanan, boys in
your paper and same was uncalled for,
I wish you would grant me space to
answer to same: .'''' r. :.
Now I would like to have the fans
that Witnessed the games Of ball at the
diff ferent times and to speak from their;
convictions and Of they will say with
honesty that Pierz was not accorded
better treatment from our boys than
they ever received in return we will be
satisfied with same, but should same
not be the case, we will give Pierz q:
chance to boiler.
Your own fans will and have said
that Pierz never treated baseball
team right and they can not blame the
clubs for not giving them more games.
These would-be gentlemen that are
such decent fellows come far from the
mark Of gentlemen in the right sense
as they are all well known to the writ ter
and I believe in giving the devil his
just dues and they have it coming.
Now all we ask is that the Pierz
bunch give our boys return game on
the home grounds and we can then see
who is master of the situation now in
dispute.
The home run by your twirler was a
dandy, but there are others that have
done likewise with the Pierz twirler
and not so long ago. But we do not
claim to have an imported spit ball
twirler, but just an every day farmer
and he has it all over the wise one, for
in all other games he generally made a

A PENALTY OF AGE

The tendency of advancing years to
restrict activity and exercise is ra-
sponsible for the constipated condition
Of most elderly people. The wear of
years impairs the action of the bow
els and the digestive organs are more
sensitive to the demands upon them
and rebel more quickly. Cathartics
and purgatives are violent and dras-
tic in their action and should not be
used to correct constipation. A mild,
yet positively effective remedy. and
one that is recommended by physi-
clans as well as by thousands who
have used it. is the compound Of sim
pie laxative herbs with pepsin pre-
scribed by DR.. w. B. Caldwell over
thirty years ago and now sold by drug
gists everywhere under the name of
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. DR..

Farms for. Children.

Perhaps the smallest farms in the
world, each four by eight feet, have
been devised by Mrs. Henry Parsons
for the International Children's School
Farm league, and demonstrated in
New York. Each child becomes owner
of his diminutive farm. in which he
works, grows and harvests seven diff.
ferent kinds of vegetables. and these
are borne by him in triumph to his
family. About each farm is an 1S-inch
path, which he keeps in order; under
his instructor 1t becomes tiny OBJ
