we go to Church and Sunday School

No country life for me. / am going
to leave"
No doubt many young men feel just
this way, particularly during such
winter weather as we have had for
the past week. How about the women
folks? Do they not, as a rule, have
as hard time as the men? They cook
wash, milk the cows, (and feed
them, too, in many instances, often
carrying the water, and getting wood
to make the fires, through this same
sort of weather, and do their full
share of the work besides caring for
the baby and other children, yet sell
dom complain. The growing and
complaining comes chiefly from the
men. Farm and country life has it's
hardships. So does all the professions
and occupations. Our young friend
did not tell it all. He said nothing of
the full corn crib, the smokehouse of
meat, the large lard cans, the bins of
wheat, the canned fruits and vege-
tables, the sausages, buckwheat and
molasses, and all these things, laid
by and paid for. He said nothing, be-
cause he knows nothing, of overdue
bills, rent, coal, competition and ex-
pense of his town brother. He knwos
of no such thing as being out of
work, wages cut down, high prices,
appeals to the charity fund, hand to-
mouth living. OF these and other
luxuries" of city life, our country
grumbler knows nothing. He thinks
every man he meets in town is pros
porous and happy. He doesn't know.
He said nothing of the luxury of a
life IN the open, of the beauty of the
country in the springtIme, of the cool
shades of the woods in the summer
while his town brother is sweltcrinp
in stuffy office, with his "nose to
the grindstone, struggling to meet
overdue bills, pay rent and store bills.
The assertion is ventured here. that
nine out of ten men, living in town
would willingly exchange places with
our friend, OF any equitable basis.
And then. it should be said with
emphasis, that the lot of the average
man on the fam is harder ard more
than it should he and
would be, if proper care was taken.
and provision made for the comfort of
the livestock and the family. Better
barns, good wood-shed, suitable
shelter for stock and forage, a good
wa ter and light system-these things
cost little compared with the comfort
and economy they afford. particularly
when built, a little at time. Did
you ever see or visit barn yard that
was not muddy, or barn that did
not have great cracks through which
snow and cold poured in? Farm life
can be made the ideal life. 1t is the
only ideal life, and the young man or
woman who contemplates leaving the
old farm for IN uncertain and untried
life in the city had better look well
before they leap.

THE ONLY REMEDY

The road situation is not in the most
satisfactory shape at this time, but
the assurance is given by the authori-
ties that as soon as spring weather
opens everybody will get busy. The
necessity for holding up the letting OF
the contract for building the proposed
road down the Clnch, is to be regret
ted. We say the necessity" or the
injunction would not have been brou-
ght about. If the Board of Supervisors
had not been in such hurry to spend
money not yet in the treasury on one
of the less important roads of the
county, or if even the Board had
guaranteed, or taken active steps to
construct The Clear Fork road, one of
the most Travelled roads in the county,
at or near the same time, certainly.
so far as this paper is concerned no
word of protest would have been
heard. If the proposed new road had
not been included in the specifications
in the bond issue election, and there.
fore bound to be built, we would be
strongly inclined not to building it at
all except parts of it. From Wittens
Mills to the rock road Mt Burke's
Garden switch, and from North Taze-
well to the Hubble Hill road, should
be built but the other stretches of
:. this road, so little used by teams.
could easily and cheaply be repaired,
and put in good shape. However, no
use to discuss this phase of the ques
tion now This road must be construct
ed, and parts of it should he con-
structed, perhaps, as soon as possible.
but there is no reason on earth, so
far as we can see, why this contract
should have been rushed through at
this time, unless the contract for
this other road should have been
rushed through, too, at or about the
same time.
Somebody reports to this Office that
politics and personalities are respons-
ible for the whole muddle. Surely
not! The petition for the Injunction
was signed by men of all political
parties. 1t was the "voice of the peo-
ple," of certain sections, and we
scarcely see how politics could have
had anything to do with it. 1t was
sort of 'recall" movement. i'm
which the people asked to be heard.
and Judge Kegley, rightfully or
wrongfully, granted their petition,
and stopped the game. In the mean
time, the new Board has come in, and
1T remains to be seen what it will do.
Perhaps, after all, little or no harm
has been done. 1t is to be hoped that
there will be no epidemic of injunc-
tions in the county during this road
building campaign. When the Board
of Supervisors and the road authori-
ties after careful and deliberate con-
sideration decide to build a certai n
road let them go ahead. Give hearty
cooperation all the way through.

WEEK OF SURPRISES
In DISTRICT LEAGUE
CAROLS Trim Saengers on Their
Own Alleys and Roll First
1000 Game.

While the past two weeks bowling have
not affected the standing of the teams
in the District League. the gap between
the Chamber OF Commerce and Saenger-
bund teams has been widened to the ex-
tent OF six games. The Government
Printing Once qulnt has considerably
strengthened their hold on third place.
having won all OF their last nine games
and TO overhaul the printers, the Carroll
Institute team viii have to duplicate its
famous spurt OF last season when by
winning fourteen games In a row they
passed the Chamberites and nosed the
present leaders out OF second position.
That this squirt may occur Is by no
means impossible, as the team just now
Is going particularly well and easily trim
med the strong Saengers two games out
OF three on the latter's own alleys. That
they did not win all three games was due
more 10 the bad breaks Of the game than
TO inferior bowling.
Not only did the Carroll Institute team
hang up new records for single game
with I.Ol2 but they also bettered the
existing league record for high set with
the grand total Of 2 SO In this set Nc
Intire, Miller, and Thomas all passed
the 6O0-mark IN their totals. the first two
bOwlers having sets Of 6l2 each, while
Thomas spilled the naples for 6O3 on the
Germans alleys.
In the individuals, Miller continues TO
lead by a small margin. The present fg-
ures for high game. 90, made by Van
Buskirk. and TeS for high set. made by
Eckstein, are by far the best individual
marks made in any league and likely to
stand as q season record not only for
the league, but for the District as well

The most expert of bowlers have
long ago passed up balls Of this de-
scription and Il Is only a question of
time when, like the bird OF the same
name, the ''Dodo" viii only be a mem
ory. One distinct disadvantage OF the
'Dodo" has always been the difaculty
in controlling IT for spare" shots.
The star bowlers nowadays use
mostly the form OF delivery known
as the hook bail" or curve. which. II
under proper control win prove to be
nearly as effective as the freak balls.

tournaments, the latter, particularly.

a reverse OF the hook ball. The above
diagram illustrates the principal de-
liveries used in bowling.

The Brooklyn" or cross ball." is
generally the result of a miscue, almost
no bowlers employing Il deliberately.
save when the alleys happen to be
"grooved" peculiarly. The name
Brooklyn" arose from Just such a cir
cumstance. A tournament was being
held In New York on one OF the river
side alleys The runs were 50 located
that to hit the frame on the left meant
toward the Brooklyn side OF the river
as opposed to the New York side. One
of the bowlers discovered that, there
was a strike groove on this side and
that the pins fell easier when hit be-
tween one and two instead Of one and
three combinations. and shouted to his
partner in the game. "Hit 'em on the
Brooklyn side, John"
Since the advent Of the mineralite
and rubber bowling balls In this To-
cality, loaded and trick balls have al
most entirely disappeared from local
alleys: In fact. II Is very doubtful II
any of the composition balls used by
the District pin artists are in any way
a violation OF the regulation ball as
adopted by the National Bowling As
sociation- Occasionally one will run
across q wooden ball which Is plugged
with lead to cause Il to curve easier,
but In the league games IN this city
trick spheres are a thing Of the past.

depend on his knowledge OF the groove

like and detrimental to the best in

the freak ball cannot. however, be
prohibited. much to the delight OF

used the "Dodo" with great success.
The trend in bowling matters of late
has been to abolish all freak balls, and
the majority of tenpin bowlers will not
be effected by any rule barring them,
the number of those stil using the
'Dodo' and loaded balls being COM
