A VERY DRY PLACE

1t is pretty dry down in Geor-
gia since the state went prohibi
ton. A Georgia paper gives a
faint idea of the situation as fol
lows:
'Itis so dry here that the wa
CONS go around with their
tongues out, Ice has to be
soaked in watet over night be
fore it is wet enough to make
lemonade. The catfish kick up
such a dust in the river that it
has to be sprinkled before you
can go fishing.
A spark from an engine set
fire to z. pond and burned up a
lot of bullfrogs before the fire
could be extinguished, and the
ground is so dry and hard that
crawfsh holes in low places are
being pulled M and used for gas
pipes,

SWAT THE FLY

Now is the time to swat the
fly. Swat him with all your
might and energy. Devote all
your spare time to it. Whatever
energy you expend in this laud-
able enterprise will be an invest
ment that will bring large pro
fits.
The poor may be always with
us but there is no good reason
why the pestiferous fly should
be always with us. 1t is up to
all of us to lend our talents and
efforts in his determination and
now is the time to it most effic-
iently with least possible expen-
diture of energy. His death war
rant has been sounded and his
early Punishment is assured. In
every city in the United States
the crusade against the fly is be-
ing carried on with telling effect.
His misdeeds are now ? under
stood. His responsibility as a con
veyor of disease has been fully
established, AS an annoyance
TO mankind generally he stands
convicted by universal and un-
animous testimony.
So, we say, swat him now.
He is prolific in propagating his
species. Kill one today and be
saved the trouble of killing mill
ions later,

pitchers box and cut loose a fast
one that looked good enough to
be called strike, but Umps
Kelly evider,ly thought differ
emily, as he called it a ball, and
the big game was on.
Harmon pitched the first five
innings and struck out 7 Need
les batters, allowed one hit and
hit one man with a pitched ball.
The run scored off of Harmon
was not earned. Heyman pitched
the last four innings, striking
out five batters and allowed two
hits. He issued one pass.
The run scored off was also un-
earned.
Both pitchers worked in I'M
beatable form and their offer
Ilngs were faultlessly received
by Morand, whose excellent work
both at catching and with the
bat earned him large amount
OF praise from the fans. Morand
was struck on the hand by a foul
tip in the fifth inning and suf-
fered a badly bruised finger on
the right hand, which hampered
his work to some extent for the
balance of the game.
Stone at first base is a pip
pin an excellent hitter and
base runner, and will be field
ing with the best of them in

fact that on one occasion he tried
to knock the nails out of the
score board in right field with a
wild throw, Speck Walcott play
a good game at second, His hit
ting was good. Arzilla at the
third showed up fine, his field
ing was a feature of the game.
Fay at, shoat is the best man at
position Winslow fans have. seen
for long time. We will hear
more from him in the hitting
line later. Whitelaw in left field
did not have any fielding chanc-
es, but hit the ball hard and
timely. Boughman in centre
field was the most reliable stick
er of the pay. He knocked in
three runs and scored twice him
self. He accepted all fielding
chances without a bobble. Voll-
mer in right field did not show
up well in fielding, but when he
went to bat the fielders gave him
the once-oVer and baked up to
the race track. He hit well Sun
day, but wait until the old war
horse" hits his stride: he will
surprise us with his fielding and
he can be depended upon to hit
best pitching he goes up against,
The Needles team were evid-
emily ver-confident. This was
the second game they have lost
since New Years Day, when
their season began. They are
fine bunch offellows and it IS
hoped they will appear on the
