be here today and Sunday for exhibit

be called at 8 o'clock.
The team this afternoon will present
the regular lineup which will face

batting order has been played in this
manner ever since actual work was
started Gear tried other forms but
found the present combination to be
more formidable.
None of the men are in condition to
begin the season. Gear has worked
them at easy stages and does not hope
to get them in real playing condition
until Just before the rgular season
begins. He does not believe in rush

never recover.
Players in Proper Condition.
The men are now in the proper con-
dition to begin hard training. They
will practice morning and afternoon
from now until the season begins
Gear hopes to get the men in condi-
ton for the seasons work by the time
the schedule begins, and if he does,
the men will not work in the morning
after the season starts. Otherwise,
they will be compelled to practice
mornings until they do get in condi-
ton.
McLarry is suffering with a slight
Charley horse but the soreness is not
great enough to hamper his work. His
condition is improving and he will be
entirely recovered within a few days.
Rustenhaven, the southpaw, is getting
his arm in good condition and it is be-
lieved that he will regain his old time
form before the season is we'll ad-

THE NECESSARY ACREAGE
RAISED.

Last week in a EDITORIAL we urged
the farmers Of the county to lget to-
gether and provide the necessary
acreage for planting tomat ,es in or
der to bring to the county again the
canning enterprise which as We said
then would rebound in many ways
to the advantage Of the fairness and
people Of the county generally aud
it is with great deal of satisfaction
that VIZ have received the informa-
ton that the necessary acreage has
been raised, which means that we
will actually have the cannery here
this year. The farmers who Fave
taken hold Of the matter exhibited
sound judgment and good common
sense. This industry which has been
beyond the desires ot many Of cur
farmers heretofore tho live long
distance FIRM La Plata AN now be
realized since the good road system
has been spreading throughout the
county. Farmers living a long dis
lance away can bring tomatoes here
over the God roads in short while
and without interfering in any man
ner with their usual farm duties.
The farmers of our county have
shown the right sp rit in this matter
and if they will get together and
keep sIca spirit alive we will be able
to bring ether enterprises ;ere and
not only build up our county but
build our farms and our homes, make
them not only remunerative and pro
ductive but more attractive and
happy. The world depends upor
