Livermore Falls IL
Pennington Four.

The morning ball game, Tuesday, was
won by Livermore Falls IL to from
Pennington in a long, loose and uninter-
esting, saved only by good play now
and then. Dnrand for the vctors
pitched a cool consistent game. while
Rawson's batting and second base play
made him their star. Austin for Farm
ington started to pitch good ball, but
lost his grip through miserable support
and was replaced by auckland, who did
excellent work under difficult circum-
stances. Gale caught a fine game, two
catches of high fouls in the fifth being
very clever. A running catch by Ham
mond in center brought him a deserved
hand. The others chiefly distinguished
themselves with dividing the seven
errors Carrigan's umpring was first
class.

THURSDAY. JULY IS. 1912
A FAIR WARNING c.

The editor doesn't claim to be the originator of the self. winding, self cooking. self-infating, non collapsible, personally ly-conducted candidacy idea. Far be it. Other, and even greater men have discovered and proclaimed their own eminent superiority as desirable subjects for political preferment, long before the editor discovered and pro- claimed his.
 But he hereby serves notice that he is going to patent his "quadruple can d1dacy," 8 device for corralling four distinct ofices-4, count lem, 4-all in 8 bunch, and warns all imitators. political pirates, cowans and eaYesdrop- pers to keep their vandal hands off.
 The state is seething with the per nicious activities of self-primaried aspirants for every office within the gift of the people, up to congressman, , U. s. Senator, Gov ernor, etc., and some of them come close to the danger-li of encroachment upon the quadruple candidacy idea.
 There's our friend Charles F. Thayer, of Norwich, who has long been mayor, ran for gover or in 1906, and now comes out again with his familiar plea for the United States Senatorship T seize the opportunity to modestly nomi- nate myself for the United States Senate" he says, flor Inotice that may 'ors Dunn and Mahan are already run ming for Controller and Congressman, and they set the fashion in Connecti- cut"
 He refers to Lorimer, ''twice inves- tigated already and about to go to the bat for the third inning, and Connecticut hasn't had Senator with life enough to be investigated even once."
 Mayor Thayer's demand naturally attracts public attention, and although we refrain from voicing the suspicion that his purpose is to divert that atten- tion from the editors quadrnple cand- idacy for representative, first selectman, justice of the peace, and town clerk, we propose nevertheless to not only protect the copyright and expose the first symptom of scheme on the part of MT. Thayer to reach out for both Senator ships, the Governorship and the mayoralty all at once, but to push the original quadruple candidacy more vigorously and relentlessly than ever, from this time on.

Ten InfaIlibIe Rules.

1-Insist that it's hot and stick to it. Preach this doctrine to everybody you meet. If you have the courage of your convictions you can make it feel hotter for yourself than 1t really is.
 Drink hot toddies. Any alcoholic drink. in fact. will help some.
 3-Carry n thermometer and consult it frequently.
 4-If not warm enough put on your winter woolens.
 5-Expend a lot of energy in trying to find cool place.
 6-Fan yourself vigorously.
 7-Repeat the following hundred times rapidly, Il was never so hot in my life l''
 S-If the foregoing rules do not bring satisfactory results, try mustard plas- ter.
 9-Lose your temper over the weather at least couple of times day.
 10-As a last resort build fire in the furnace.-Bost II Post

What the Other Fellows Say.

The National Education association is worrying about the country boy. Leave it to the country boy to worry about what he is going to do with such associa- tions when he grows up.-Waterbury Republican.
 Firehies have begun to appear and they are the only species of bug which does not harm anything growing as far as known.-Pittsfeld Eagle
 The reason for deaths by heat prostra- tions and by drowning seems to have reached its meridian and now is a good time for the exercise of extra care and caution, and that temperance in all things" which avoids the results of ex- cesses of all kinds. Live sanely, keep cool-as possible-and take care for the health which is so large part of harpi- ness.-Bridgeport Standard.
 So one of the reasons why bank ex- aminations are not efficient is that the ex- aminers are underpaid. That ought not to be difficult to remedy-New Haven Journal Courier.
 A Kansas man has gone deaf listening to the village brass band. Lucky man. He won't have to hear 1t any more- Hartford Post.

To the Editor of The News :-
 The author of the "Whip-poor- r-wilp' poem in the last issue of The News stat. ed in the foot-note that whip-poor-w wills cease singing after midnight. This state ment taken literally, is somewhat mis- leading. and is strictly true only with ref erence to dark nights In their favorite habitat these birds can frequently be heard whipping poor will" about three o'clock in the morning, and on moon light nights at almost any hour before daylight. have personally heard them many times after midnight. Crnitholo- gists of old agree that they sing all night by moonlight. Gan the authoro of "Whip- poor-will" dispute such authority as the distinguished ornithologist, Wilson, who wrote of these birds: In clear moon- light they are heard with little intermis- slon until morning?"
