WALKOVERS WIN IT.
Great Game at Silver Lake Goes to
Visitors.

Silver Lake, Kan, July Sat the
Fourth of July celebration here the
Walkover Shoe company baseball
team defeated the locals before a
crowd of 1900 people by a score of
10 to 1. Up to the sixth inning it
was one of the fastest games ever
played on local grounds, Walkovers
taking the lead in the first inning by
one score on VesperS single, Buffers
sacrifice and Leavitt's single. In the
sixth innings the WaIkovers fell on
Pitcher Tahr for four more runs and
he was relieved by Woodford, who
tried out in the State League and
who did no better. Not a Silver Lake
player saw third base until the ninth
inning when two two-base hits net
ted them one score. Several times
the locals would get men on first and
second, but sharp fielding would pre-
vent them from going further1 In the
sixth, seventh and eighth innings Ellis
for the visitors struck out nine men
in succession. 1t was one of the larg-
est crowds ever assembled at Silver

BAD EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE
Maryland Station Makes Interesting
Experiments Showing Injurious
Effects on Exposed Manure.

The Maryland station allowed 80
tons or manure to be exposed to the
weather for one year and found that
the amount was reduced to q tons at
the end of that period. Professor
Shut of Canada allowed two tons of
manure, containing 1898 pounds of or
ganlc matter to lie exposed during the
four warmest months from April 20 to
August 20 and found the amount re-
duced to 655 pounds, and the nitrogen
was reduced from 4S.1 pounds to 277
pounds, or almost one-half was lost
The experiments emphasize the ne
cessity of putting the manure on the
land as soon as possible. 1t is some
times piled up and allowed to heat.
thus destroying much Of its value. 1t
must not be forgotten that much of
the value of manure and all forms Of
organic matter come from its rotting
while in contact with the soil, and IL
allowed to decay before 1t is gotten
into the soil much Of the benefit will
be lost. Crop residues, such as corn
stalks, stubble, straw and all other
forms of vegetable matter, should be
turned back into the soil and not
burned, as is the common practice in
some parts.

Miss Weston,
Capitalist
By CIaudine Sisson

There is an old saying to the ef-
| feet that when a man goes a-fishing
he doesn't know what may happen.
Perhaps Mr.. Guy Hilton had never
heard anything about 1t, but he went
a-fshing and many things happened
that he did not look for.
Mr.. Hilton went with little party
of three, and the quartette camped on
Loon lake and fished. It was called
Loon lake, because no one unless he
was looney ever went there thinking
| to catch fish. After couple of weeks
| Mr.. Hilton was taken with chills and
had to go to farm house and call
doctor, and the other three broke camp
and went home.
In two weeks the patient was cured
and ready to follow. Then came an
other unexpected thing. When the doc
tor and the farmer had been paid Mr..
Hilton found himself stone broke.
When q man is stone broke he hasn't
got a nicked in his pockets. 1t would
be all right, however, when the PEN +
niless man got down to the village OF
Rockford Some merchant there
would cash his check on city bank.
He would want only four dollars for
railroad fare.
Mr.. Guy Hilton didn't look like
man. He wasn't sly, sleek
and slick. Like any other man with
q fair bank account and reasonable
trust in human nature, he wrote out
check for four dollars and asked the |
leading merchant in the town to
cash 1t.
THAT game is too old even for this
village" was the reply.
Game? Game? l have money in
this bank" said the astonished young
man.
But you ought to have 1t in your
pocket instead"
You can telephone the bank and
make sure It's all straight"
But of what interest to me? / am
not here to help folks out of troubles
they get into"
How foolish the stone broke man
had been to apply to stranger, when
he could telephone to friend in the
city and have a hundred dollars sent
up. He went to the postoffice, which

Rural France LOSING,

At a recent French Congress on Ru-
raj Depopulation It was reported that
in the department of the Cote dor,
which mainly produces wheat and
wine, the problem of depopulation in
the rural sections of France is OF a
most urgent character. In the 30
years ending with 1901 this rich de-
partment lost at the rate of $40 per.
sons per annum, and since the latter
date and up to 1911 the decrease has
been from $4,000 to 347.0OO
The same conditions exist all
through France. From 1916 to 1906
the urban population increased from
s,751,000 to 16,500,000. while the rural
