 If we are to believe the reports from the National Polo league meet ing in New Haven yesterday, there will be no polo in Bridgeport this season. The magnates yesterday de- cided to keep the team in Worcester and will not transfer to this city.
 The league has taken over the franchise formerly owned by Man .ager Phelan and the club will be carried along in order that the other five managers may be able to stick out the season. Manager Phelan in his report to the other directors said he had negotiated with the officials of the Park City rink in Bridgeport. They asked $35 a night for the rental of the rink and also wanted Phelan to assume a bond of $2,00O to cover floor damages. Phelan was willing to put up $1O0 in cash but refused to accept the responsibility of the en- tire bond unless a, reduction was made. There wa4 no reduction so everything was called off. At the Park City rink today it was. said that polo would probably not be played on that floor.

BERRY CROP MAKES
LAND VALUES SOAR

Amite City, La, May 4.-Despite a
heavy rain the shipment of strawber-
ries from this point continues to be
large. Two car loads were shipped
and the prospects are that as many
as four cars will be shipped from here
Saturday. The prices continue to be
fair and the farmers are jubilant over
the prospects.
The success of this years berry
crop has sent the price of land in this
community soaring, and land which
only few years ago was considered
valueless is today bringing high
prices. In some instances land has
been selling at as much as 500 an
acre. There is no question but what
a much larger acreage will be planted
In strawberries next season.
Not only are the strawberry farm
ers doing well with their crop this
year, but the truckers in general.
Large shipments of cabbage and rad
ishes are being sent north daily and
good prices are being received. Cab
bage is now worth 1925 crate.
Messrs. Ponder, Hostetter and Saal
are the largest truck growers in this
parish.

NEW GRAINS OF HARDY MERIT

Speltz and emmer are really two
distinct grains, and differ practically
as much as the pear differs from the
apple. Emmer is a German name,
and we have no English equivalent.
Speltz is a plant of similar appear
ance, but quite different. Both emmer
and speltz are grown in Russia, and
it is from Russia that the emmer
has been introduced into the great
plains region, stretching from the
Canada line to the Gulf of Mexico
west of the 9Sth meridian, where the
annual rainfall is only from Is to 20
inches.
Fmmer is really a species of wheat,
with heads almost always bearded,
very compact, and much fattened on
the two-ridged sides. 1T is a hardy
plant, resists drouth and rust, and is
by Prof. Carleton in
Farm and Home as valuable grain

"Rock OF AGES"

One day Augustus Montague Top
lady was walking in Blagdon Parish,
England, his first curacy, with Bar
rington-Coomb, when they were ovel
taken by a terrible thunderstorm
Toplady took refuge in the cleft in
the rocks which were a part of the
range of hills, and while waiting thei u
in that uplight of spirit which the
grandeur. of a great storm gives to a
few sensitive souls, he composed and
wrote in his note book all of the words
of Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me- That
was nearly 200 years ago. and, oh, how
Rock of Ages lives today!
The following interesting incident is
told of Gladstone in connection with
the hymn: Many years ago. during a
heated discussion in the House of
Commons, an opponent of William E.
Gladstone was attacking him with
words of unusual severity, and he was
observed to be writing diligently, ap-
parently framing a reply. A friend
seated near him was curious to learn
how it was that his leader so success
fully preserved his calm repose under
such torrent of invective.
Looking over Mr.. Gladstone's shout
der, he found him busily engaged in
translating into Latin Rock of Ages"
hio favorita hx,Y,on NIodn%a.o a.
translated this hymn into Greek and
Italian. At the end of a noble life,
which had been devoted to the best
Interests of his fellow-men, he had
this hymn sung to him, and found his
most comforting hope in the lines:
Nothing in my hand | bring,
Simply to Thy cross cling"
This hymn was a favorite with
Prince Albert, the husband of the late
Queen Victoria, and when he lay dying
in Windsor Castle in 1861, almost his
last words were: II have had wealth,
power and fame, but il these were all
that l had had, what would 1 have
now?" And then he was heard re-
peating softly and reverently:-
Rock Of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee"
Dr. s. s. Pomeroy states that in an
Armenian church in Constantinople
he was deeply moved by hearing a |
Turkish translation of this hmm, and
by seeing many Of the worshipers sing
ing with their eyes filled with tears.
During the celebration OF the golden
Jubilee of Queen Victoria, when repre-
sentatives from every land came to
congratulate her on her long and pros
porous reign, among them was a ma
tive of Madagascar. After conveying |
his good wishes to the Queen, he sug- |
gested that, If agreeable, he would like
to sing to her. Naturally, it was ex |
pected that he would sing one of his
native songs, but, to the surprise of
all, he sang. Rock of Ages.

The case against Judge James Gould was held over be- cause of the fact that he had sent his tax to the secretary of state but the check had been returned with plank form which, because of his ignorance of the dimensions, speed, etc., of his machine, he was unable to answer.
 The case against J. T. Lloyd was dismissed as the machine which he is driving is the property of the Lloyd Company in Little Rock and the tax has been paid.
 The arrests came by information filed by Assistant District Attorney T. q. Parhm, who recently received list of names of the automobile owners in Jefferson county who had paid their tax. Notices of delinquent automobiles owners recently appear ed Ill newspaper and the authori- ties considered this sufficient notice.
