MONROE, II; LANCASTER, 13.

Lancaster started out to defeat Mon
roe Saturday, and for awhile it looked
as though they were going to be sue
cessful, but fortune ruled otherwise,
and when the clouds of battle rolled
away the tally stood II to Is, in the
cheese city's favor.
Monroe kicked off from the north
end of the field, Lancaster getting the
ball and in short time Orion carried
it over for the first touchdown, but
missed the goal, making the score 6
to 0, in Lancaster's favor. Through
the second quarter the ball stayed in
the center of the field, neither side
being in much danger. In the third
quarter Day made the second touch
down for the locals, and Orion kicked
the goal successfully making the score
Is to big goose egg in our favor.
Right there or soon after, the acct
dent happened that lost Lancaster the
game. Lancaster was penaIzed for
getting off the side lines, and the ball
was carried to within ten yards of the
home goal. Signals called for a for
ward pass which if it had matured
would have been a brilliant play, but
unfortunately Monroe got the ball and
carried it over for their first touch
down, followed by goal. In the last
quarter Monroe made another down
and goal, and then Gnagi kicked goal
from the field, giving them three more
points. No further scores were made,
but that was enough and Monroe went
home with the victory.

He is not afraid to meet any man to whom he
has sold Hupmobile.
His customers last year, are his customers this
year
And better than that-they are his friends, as
we'll as his customers
They go out of their way to help him make Hup-
mobile sales.
From twenty-five to fifty per cent of his new
buyers, come, he will tell you, from the recon-
mendations of old friends
He does not hesitate to refer to them-they do
not hesitate to endorse the Hupmobile.
Do you know of another car of which this is so
widely, SO enthusiastically, true?
Where the average man buys one car, the FIup-
mobile dealer buys Scores or even hundreds.
He pays his money for these cars, the same as
you pay for yours.
He had to be sold on the Hupmobile before he
would make this investment, the same as you
have to be sold.
The Hupmobile dealer, naturally, is prejudiced
in favor of the Hupmobile.
But isn't that very prejudce-that extreme
enthusiasm-the strongest endorsement you
could ask?
If he has held the friendship of his Hupmobe
owners through all these years, he will hold
your friendship too.

Slaughter Of Pheasants.

A slaughter OF pheasants unequalod
In tho history OF Massachusetts,. except
possibly for one year-isO7-when this
game bird was practically exter.
minated, was the prediction made at
the statehouse n few days ago. says
the Boston Transcript. Three thou.
sand pheasants were killed on the re-.
cent opening day OF the season, and
the fish and game commission estimate
that as many more will fall before the
guns Of "sportsmen" before the law
becomes effective again.
Hunters have had no difficulty In
killing the pheasants. which, pro.
tected for years by the state law,
have been made as tame as the barn.
yard fowl. Thousands OF men and
boys have gone into the fields and

Soldiers are often heard to say, 'If
l am going to be shot, shall be shot"
Wilberforce, an officer in the British
army during the Indian mutiny, said
that he never met but three men who
carried into practice the adage. One
OF those men was friend, who, on
Wilberforce's arrival in front of Delhi,
proposed ride to show him the pick.
cts, assuring him that the journey was
safe. AS they rode along Wilberforce
suddenly heard the ping of bullet,
quickly followed by second and a
third.
Hello, what does this mean?" he
asked.
"Oh, 1t Is only the rife pits; We are
Just on their line Of fire." answered
the friend.
Instantly Wilberforce whipped up
his steed and galloped into a safe
place. Turning around, he saw that
his friend had dismounted and was
picking up the whip that Wilberforce
had dropped. Having done that, he
slowly remounted and walked his
horse into the place where Wilber-
force was awaiting him.
On another occasion a live shell
came inside siege battery and began
burying itself in the ground Every
body went down except this fatalist.
LIE down, you fool" the men
called out. Removing his cigar from
his mouth, said the fatalist, II am not
going to put myself out for" The
sentence was interrupted by the ex-
plosion Of the shell. A fragment tore
on piece OF the standing mans trou-
sers. He pointed to the torn portion
as an illustration Of the truth Of the
adage.
The other man who lived up to this
fatalist doctrine was seen by Wilber-
force standing still to light a cigar in
the middle OF a street down which a
heavy fire was pouring. Wilberforce,
who was under shelter, called to him
to come under cover. He looked up
and said:
"IIow often have told you that II I
am to be shot shall be shot whether
| am where am or under cover?"
Then, taking out another match, he
finished the lighting process which his
friend had interrupted.
The third instance occurred at the
Delhi bank on the day Of the assault.
Seated on the steps OF the bank, be-
tween two men. was Wilberforce's
most intimate friend. The houses op-
posite were thickly lined with Sepoy
rebels. who kept up harassing fire,
to which the three men were directly
exposed.
Wilberforce called to them to Join
him under the shelter OF wall. The
friend answered. III am to be shot,
shall be. no matter where I am"
Scarcely had he spoken when his
companions were killed. He himself
was not touched. though seven bullets
struck one companion and two the
other. He called attention to the fact
as a proof OF the truth OF his theory.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Most farmers already own wood
lots; every farmer ought to own one.
Yet the wood lot is frequently not
paying proposition financially, and is
almost never as profitable as It should
be. Why? Simply because the farm
or does not realize its true value. As
o result he neglects to care for the
trees during their life, and is at dis.
advantage when It comes to selling
them. Any effort to improve present
conditions must, therefore, take these
two facts into consideration.
The essential point for every farm
er to recognize, ia that the trees In
his wood lot are just as much farm
crop as are his corn, oats, hay, or 9TH
or products. Moreover, they have
many advantages over other crops
they require comparatively little care
and labor; they can be harvested dur
Ing the winter when other work is
slack; there are no storage charges
on the crop because trees can be left
standing without deterioration an in
definite time until they can be sold
profitably or used to advantage on the
farms; and they furnish protection to
buildings, to cattle, and to crops, from
wind, drought and frost.
Unquestionably. then, the wood lot
deserves better than the present neg
lect, or often worse, to which 1t is
now subjected. No farmer would think
for moment OF burning over a crop
Of young wheat. Yet that is just what
many do with their crop OF young
trees. Nor is the damage confined to
the young growth; even the larger
trees. though seldom destroyed out
right, are weakened SO that eventually
they will fall a prey to insects, fungi,
or wind; furthermore. the fertility OF
the soil is greatly lessened by fires.
Every fire that runs through a wood
lot is q direct source OF loss to the
owner. The absolute exclusion OF fire
II. therefore. the frst and most i'm
W. sohs oeCR ~ thC iosiohai uauhbC-
ment Of the wood lot.
Closely connected with this Is the
exclusion Of stock, which do much
damage in destroying and retarding
young growth, particularly Of broad
leaf trees. and in packing down the
soil and exposing the roots OF trees.
Finally. the farmer should select the
trees to be cut In such way as to
improve rather than impair tie wood
lot. Too often the reverse has been
the case and the wood lot has de-
Perforated steadily through the re-
moval Of the best trees, leaving the
less valuable species and poorer indi-
viduals to take possession Of the
ground. No knowledge OF technical
forestry is necessary to enable the
farmer to recognize the trees which
are defective, crooked. unusually
branchy. or Of undesirable species; or
to realize that the cutting Of these
