Joe Flannery, the manager Of the
Keatsville Baseball club in the T. D.
league, was no analyst. but when he
learned that Sam Levine and a few
others of his sort were openly making
a strong book on each days game at
Nuctuating odds, the little manager
started out on a quiet tour of investi-
cation.
Joe hired u private detective and in
side of three days word came that Lee
vine was covering every cent Of the
local wagers at even money on a GER
tain Tuesdays game. The visiting
club was a VIGOROUSLY weak one and
the Keatsville team should have been
a strong favorite. This in itself was
enough to warrant suspicion.
Red Lynch worked IN Tuesday with
his battery mate Jake Hartwell. In
the fifth inning Hartwell threw a short
bunt wild into right field. Lynch walk
ed two men in succession and the next
man up hit an absolutely straight ball
to the center field fence for a home
run.
Again in the seventh inning Lynch.
whose control was proverbial, walked
one man, hit another and on the double
steal Hartwell heaved the ball over
the second baseman's head into center
and another run came in. Joe Elan
merry made a note of these things, kept
his own counsel and redoubled his in
terest in Sam Levine's operations.

cumstance was reported. Levine seem
ed to be booking on a percentage basis.

with a tailend team in town to open a
series. the bookmaker again offered
even money on the visitors. Flannery

and it looks like we will have plenl y
of grapes My orchard has many APP
pies, but not-a big crop, about one
half crop. We have the finest of wa
ter. we can raise most any kind OF
vegetables here, but the season is a
week or ten days later here than down
there. We get the HERALD every
week, it is letter from home and
will send you check soon to continue
the paper. The wheat buyers talk OF
buying wheat at rs cents bushel,
hope it will not be the case. Corn is
retailing at 80 cents, mill feed is high,
bran LAO and middlings sl.70 per
hundred, hay sl2 90 and straw $500
per ton. A mule team ran away yes.

Intellectual Circus Coming

Chautauqua will appear here Aug.
21-27. No. 1t is not a new drink

whole family with you.
Frank Dixon will tell You how to
make the town more attractive and
healthy. Paul NJ. Pearson will tell
you how to live in it and get the most
out of life while you are alive. He is
one of the most thoroughly alive men
in Pennsylvania, and enjoys every
moment.
Frank Stephens and Marjorie Dor

Suffrage question in stiff debate on
that subject.
The Alpine Yodlers with their ma
live songs and costumes will carry
with these to their own beloved
Tyrol.
These are but few of the many
events of Chautauqu Week, any one
OF which is richly worth the price of
the season ticket, two dollars. By

each event will be only about seven
cents. There will be only a limited
number of season tickets ,.on sale.

portunity' that is within your grasp

NOT WISE
TO Take CALOMEL

Oodson's Liver Tone is just as sure
in results and always safe, pleasant
in taste and has no bad after-effects.
AS remedy for torpid liver cal
omel has more than met its match in
Dodson's Liver Toue. This medicine
does not roughly force the liver on to
perform its work. 1t acts gently but
surely.
Calome depends for its power up
on exciting the liver to do more work.
and often the liver is too weak 60
stand such treatment, and after tax
ing calomel you are as a result some
times worse Off than before.
Dodson's Liver Tone cannot cause
any of the dangerous effects that often
follow the use of calomel. 1t is en-
tirely vegetable and pleasant TO the
taste, and is suita Bile for children and
grown people
Get large bottle for fifty cents at
Walton & Shoots under the guaran
tee that if 1t doesn't satisfy you that
it perfectly takes the place of calomel
yoY will be given your money back
with smile right at the store where
you bought Dodson's medicine.

School and Civic League

! An interesting meeting of the School
AID Civic League was held in the
High School building last Friday
! evening.
I The Treasurer's report showed a
balance on hand OF 1888 90 and all
bills paid, which is gratifying re-
port, considering the very substantial
improvements that have been made to
the school building and grounds.
For these purposes the League has
raised and expended total of over
10000.
With this record of accomplishment
in school Improvement, the League,
for the immediate present, turns with
hopefulness to the question of civic
Improvement. which is the second
feature of its proposed work.
At the request of the President.
about ten of the men of tie League,
after holding a conference on the
subject, laid before this meeting some
suggestions as to possible lines of
work. Recognizing the fact that a
voluntary organization like this
League cannot approach the work of
civic Improvement except in the way
Iof cooperation with the regular
municipal authorities, these sugges-
tions took the form, mainly, of re-
quests to the town council.
The first suggestion was unanimous
lv adopted. viz: That the council be
respectfully requested to provide for
the hauling away of trash placed out
by the citizens, and that the wagons
be sent around for this purpose every
month.
The next item being a matter of con-
siderable Importance, not only for
the present but for the future, the
League decided to postpone considera-
ton of this and the remainder of the
suggestions to special meeting to be
held at the Court House on Friday.
July oath, at P. M at which time
the League hopes to secure large
attendance, not only of members
but of others, both men and women.
Following are the suggestions
which will come before that meeting:
l.. That the council be requested to
employ a competent engineer to es-
tablish grade lines and building lines
for the streets of the town, as a first
step toward general street improve
ment.
2. That, in order to awaken more
general interest in civic affairs, the
the council be requested to have its
proceedings published regularly i'll
the Shenandoah HERALD.
3. That the editor of the HERALD
be requested to send reporter to the
council meetings to write up the pro.
ceedipgs ana discussions of that body
in an interesting way.
4. That the requests to the council
be accompanied with an offer of the
Leagues moral and financial CO.
operation in the carrying out of these
aud other needed improvements.

! SUMMER in THE VALLEY.

(From the Baltimore Sun.
A summer in the valley, with lovers
hand in hand,
The babbling Shenandoah singing
ditties to the land:
The green land of Virginia,
That it kisses as it flows
Through the country of the clover
And the Eden of the rose.
A.summer in the valley, and it makes
the soul so young
To hear the Shenandoah on the soft
Virginia tongue;
The dream land of Virginia,
With green fields to the knee
In blue grass bobbing gently
Ger the dead that died for Lee.
A summer in the valley, and it's
come up little land
To the waters of the river that are
babbling bright and glad:
The waters of Virginia,
With the sunlight in their net,
And the dreams of daisied meadows
With the dews of Dixie wet.
A summer in the valley, Just with
life to stroll along,
Or swing within the hammock to the
low tune of song;
The song of Shenandoah,
That in silver to the sea
Sings the golden dreams of summer
In the Dixieland of Lee.

A LETTER..
Strasbvrg, july IA. 1911

'Oei oSOfI ~ Oul II, 1SI +.
Dear RERALD:-
l was deeply inter-
ested in the letter of IAN Old Con-
federate" which you published under
date of "Woodstock, Va, April 20,
1914" | have wondered ever since
who San Old Confederate" can be,
and have reached the conclusion that
possibly he and | were pupils of the
same school, and are about the same
age. | was born May 4, 1915, and
when 5 or 6 years of age | attended
the school at Woodstock taught by
Miss Jane Myers on ''the lower back
street." boarding on the same street
with my Aunt Susan Melhorn, who
was sister of my mother. When
was less than 16 months ole my
father. Daniel McInturff, died from
typhoid fever, leaving my mother d
young widow with me as her only
child. She then became housekeeper
for her bachelor brother, Isaac Bur
ner. who lived on the river some 3
miles east of Woodstock, and with
Uncle Isaac l had my home during
my minority.
| distinctly recall all the names
mentioned by "An Ola Confederate,
and one in particular not named by
him-Susan Keffer. This girl some
now made an impression upon my
childish mind that has remained with
me through all the intervening years
with peculia distinctness.
After | was some years older | at
tended another Woodstock school,
conducted by the venerable Roberl
Stidley, in the little brick house on
the southeast corner of the Methodist
church lot, if | remember correctly.
When 10 years old | attended a school
at Edom, Va, conducted by john
Myers.
| remember many other incidents
and persons connected with my earlier
days at Woodstock, especially the
families who were intimate with the
Melhorns, among them Belle Fravel
and her brothers, John and Bob, and
Caroline South and her brother
J Ohm, whom every body called "Buck. F"
Mr.. Editor, pardon this intrusion
upon your space; but the letter of
San Old Confederate" awoke mem
cries of childhood's days which could
not be satisfied without some such ex-
preston. How glad ! should be to
hear from others whose recollections
embrace the same persons and ex-
periences. Faithfully.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, ands that is by constitutions !
remedies. Deafness is cansed by an
infiamed condition of the mucous
lining OF. the Eustachian Tube. Then
this tuble is infamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the infiamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition OF the mucous sur
faces.
