Last Thursday Westfield came over
to cross bats with the Hague Bulls
and it sure was some game. Hague
got the long end of an IS to score. 1t
was shut-out for Westfield until
the ninth inning when they secured
their lonely tally. The Bulls intend
to go against the Strasbur0 outfit on
the Fourth of July and promise to
take the long end Of that score, too.
Some of the practical jokers had a
little fun at the expense of the vii
lage marshal recently. A fake mes
sage was delivered to him purport-
ing to be from the marshal at Lin.
ton requesting him to lock up Oscar
Pohl. lately of Linton and where he
was wanted for some infringement of
the law. After girding on all his
implements of war the marshal pro-

forth in the telegram. 1t all worked
out fine, but the marshal was some

The "Hoodoo Club" had some fun
at the expense of John Fischer, clerk
in the Hague Bazaar. one night this
week. John sleeps in the store and
had retired when members of the
club appeared and made such COM
motion as to convince him that the
store was being attacked by burg
lars. Fred Miller. who also slept in
the store. and who was in on the
prank. suggested that John get gun
and defend the store with his life.
John did. but was in such a nervous
state of mind that he couldn't even
pull the trigger. The burglars
then began shooting and it is said

for protection, at the same time ex-

SUPERIOR SOIL FOR CELERY
Rich, Mellow, Sandy Loan Will Give
Best Results-Plant Requires Large
Amount Of Nitrogen.
(By ]. ALLEN CLARK.)

(By ]. ALLEN CLARK)
For growing celery, a rich, mellow.
sandy loan will give the best results.
A low, mucky or peaty soil which
Is well drained would be found to be
an ideal spot, but any fertile, well
drained soil will grow celery. II grow.
Ing celery to any great extent rotation
of crops should be practiced in that
celery requires large per cent. OF
nitrogen for its development and II
rotation was not practiced this should
be supplied in an available form aa
commercial fertilizer or well-rotted
barnyard manure. The applying oil
strnwy manure should be guarded
against in that 1t has q tendency to
make the plants go to seed. Fall
blowing Is found to be preferable and
the land should be well titled and cuL
tivated in the spring before the plants
are put in the ground.
