1t is customary 20 declare base ball
game forfeited when a team fails to APP
pear. Under such ruling the Clarks
Mills Cubs won from the Rahr's of
Manitowoc last Sunday 8 to 0. But
whoever won it is pretty small busi-
ness for team to pass up an engage
ment at the eleventh hour, after the
crowd is out and no chance to get an
other team. Whatever else you are
be a man of your word.
Next Sunday July % the Cubs will
line up against the Boys Club team OF
Manitowoc. This is guaranteed at
traction. We have sandy diamond,
and ten minutes sunshine after rain
puts the field in condition for play.
The Cubs line up has been strengthen
ed by the addition of Reyter, Berge
and Gosz, and we are out to meet any
of the fast teams in the county. Come
out Sunday, and boost for the Cubs.

ABIDING PLACE OF MICROBES
Eliminate the Vacant Seat and the
Church Will Bloom Into
Splendid Health.

There are microbes thai are
menacing the church with dire de-
feats; they're bacilli that produce the
plague entitled Vacant Seats. There's
an influence arising from these weary,
dreary pews, that's as pestilential as
the breath of rank, malarial dews. If
diagnosis we would make Of churches
void of heat, we'd find the mercury
had dropped down in the vacant seat.
The doctors ought to busy get, the
church's health to save, because this
situation is becoming very grave.
Napoleon wished once, tits said, to
break conquered bell; his soldiers
swung their hammers free, and pound
ed hard and well; but firm, uninjured,
strong, it stood, resisting every
stroke, until they hit from the inside,
and then, it quickly broke. Thus
what the church needs most to fear.
is not the outside sin, but spineess,
lackadasical inanity within And that
which blocks and trips the church,
and rolls her down the stair, is the
nominal adherent who, however, isn't
there. If we could but eliminate this
stunning empty seat, the church would
soar in glorious flight, amazingly
complete. There is a remedy that
works at any time and place; it's ev-
cry one, at every time, and always,
in his place. If you would give this
formula keen, conclusive search,
just try it well, next Sunday, at the
Presbyterian church, or any place Of
worship where you feel you'd like to
be. and the medicine and healing
you'll find tally to T.-The CONT
nent.

Notes From Melnik.

Climatic conditions continue perfect
for the grain crops in this section.
Harvesting of rye and barley will start
IN few days. Some are still busy
haylng as the frequent rains delayed
the work considerably. While no crop
is safe until it is in the granary, condi-
lions OF moisture, temperature, ETC.,
are such that it seems this years crop
Is going to be one of the best in recent
years.
The temperature for the last few
days has been ideal for the filling of
the kernel and II it continues reason
ably coolit will make q material differ
ence in the yield.

Planting Trees with Dynamite

Results secured by prominent or. chardists indicate that the planting and cultivation of fruit trees is being revolutionized.
 Although the attention of farmers has but recently been directed in gen. eral to the use of dynamite for various agricultural purposes, experiments have been going on for many years to determine it's exact efficiency and how it can best be used.
 Tine following results already deter mined should be of interest To progress sive horticulturists everywhere:
 1st. Planting trees with dynamite practically eliminates the loss of young trees during the first year.
 End. Trees can be planted much more rapidly by the dynamite method than by the old method.
 8rd. Trees planted with dynamite come into bearing from one to two years sooner than those plantei by the soil method.
 
 grow much more rapidly and yield much more heavily than those plant ed in the old way.
 A little thought will show the req. son why dynamiting is so beneficial in tree planting, The principal plant food is water and the fertile elements of the soil must be absorbed in water before they can be absorbed by the ter minal roots. Hence the larger the area throughout which these terminal roots are spread, the greater the amount of greater the amount of water and plant food 1t can obtain.
 This also explains the reason why dynamiting the soil between rows of old or failing fruit trees renews their Vigor, because most of the water is talk en ap by the terminal roots which run out many feet from the trunk and the blasting creates water reservoirs in the soil between the rows.
 Orehardists who have never used dy- nanite should be sure to get all pos siole information from the manufac- tuners og The explosive before attempt ing to use it. While 1t is no more dan gerous to use than gun powder or gaso- line, it k a poor thing for people to fool with ignofantly because il k very powerful.
 Contrary to quite general belief, dynamite does not explode from drop ping or ordinary shocks and will not go oil spontaneously, IL has to be "detonedf or exploded by the shock of puming cap which is set of by a fuse.
 The fact that the most progressive orehardiSt in the country, including the celebrated Hale orchards of Georgia and Connecticut, are using il right along indicates that 1t is safe for any reasonably careful and intelligent per son to use.

The Conference Committee of Railroad
 Managers

 While the engineers are circulating strike ballot among the employees Of the different lines, the Managements of the railroads are putting in the hands of the employees in train service this pamphlet, which, in addition 10 the demands of the men and the roads reply, contains editorials re- printed from number of the coun- try's leading newspapers. IL is being sent to the bondholders, shareholders, members of Boards of Trade, Cham hers of Commerce, and other commer- cial bodies iu the territory in which the railroads affected by the engineers demands operate.
 Never before in concerted wage movement has the side of capital come before the bar of public opinion to plead its case along the unusual lines adopted by the railroads, Il was learn ed yesterday that loo, coo copies of the "tiresideN booklet had already been matted, aud il k expected that more than million copies will be clreu. lated before the week is over,
