much better shape next fall. The

understand what they are trying to
do. Next year they will have two
tables, 40 that the younger members
will not have to compete
with those older and more ex-
perienced. The club takes in
single members from eight to forty
years Of age. 1t WAS arranged this
way so as to give all the young folks
q chance to take part In the social
affairs Of the club.
G. A. McKernan, who la a member
OF the club, had the best oats, spring
wheat, turnips, and rutabagas, but
would not allow his products to COM
pete with the childrens' as he felt
that 1t would not be fair.
The judges. Mrs. Lyttle, Mr.. r. E..
Norvell and H. A. Wildhack, did
their work well, and with much con-
sideration, which was greatly ap-
preciated by the club and the entire
community. M. M. Is.

ried life. For the next few months at
least she probably will be the most
talked of widow in America.
There already is much speculation as
to what will be Mrs. Astors share Of
the enormous fortune left by her hus-
band. Colonel Astor's wealth has been
estimated as high as $200,000,000, and
it will be many months before its ac-
tual value is known. He was the lar

Of his fortune that are said TO be CON

No one doubts that the young widow
has been very we'll provided for in the
will. 1t has been generally known that
they were very devoted to each other
and that every wish expressed by Mrs.
Astor was granted by the colonel.

general spread of baseball throughout
Europe in the near future.
The plan for an International athletic
federation and the standardizing OF the

general approval here. 1t is felt that the
nresent method by which number or

fuse the record and prevents it from being
