league baseball players have formally
launched their new protective Organi-
zation. It is known as the National

justice Delaney.
According to the petition for incor-

nal feeling among the players in the
two big leagues.
While the articles of incorporation
have not been made public il is gen
orally believed the players aim at mu-
tual protection to demand representa-
ton of their broth erhOOd in the cOun-

the organization resulted from the diff

Mr.. Quincy never used an incubator
before. He uses a Banta machine.
Jno. Frey, of Beach Lake, is
great poultry man, and uses two
large capacity machines. His best
hatch was 2S0 out of $40 eggs. This
hatch was made with a Banta Incu-
bator.
S. j. Barkley, of Narrowsburg,
says IL poultry owners would use
good incubators their poultry busi-
ness could be made more profitable.
Mr.. Barkley uses a Banta Incubator.
Mr.. Frank LeStrange, of Cold
Springs, in his first hatch secured so
live chicks from 60 fertile eggs. He
uses a Banta Incubator.
Mr.. Henry Dirlam, OF Cherry
Ridge, who had no previous expert
ence with incubators, had remark
able success last season with his In
cubator. He uses a Banta machine.
Banta incubators are sold in
Honesdale by Murray Co. An SO-egg
incubator costs $3.50. Upon re-
quest they will send you free OF

convenient.

Lady humorists are born not

lines. So certain is Miss Wood
worth's fitness for the Lyceum that

Miss Anna Leach plays as mas

mat she may interpret classics and

ceeded in planning an evening Of

everybody whether young or old,
tuned or untuned, everywhere, al
ways.
Miss Margaret Lorimer, a popular
vocalist, an efficient accompanist and
a reader of good literature, adds
much to the versatility and strength
of the numbers presented by the En-

personality, her beauty of culture
