WHO CUT THE ROPE AT
 M. F. O'CONNOR'S OUTING?

Who cut the rope during the tug of war between the Connaught men and the Sober men ?" at the 20th an nual outing and clambake of the M. F. O'Connor association held yesterday at Forest Grove at which upwards of 400 members of the association gathered to enjoy the festivities of
 That is the question which is be- ing freely discussed by those who were present during the annual tug of war, when some "blackguard" ran from the spectators bench and while both teams were juggling their might fest gave the rope a slash with a large knife with the result that the members of both teams were thrown violently to the ground. Two mem bers of the Connaught team, in their fall, crashed into a large chestnut tree but were not seriously injured. The issue at hand at that time was to find out whb cut the rope. Of course the Sober men won the battle.
 All in all it was 9 corlsing good those present. The menu consisted of spring chicken, lobster, corn. DO tatoes both white and sweet, clans and plenty of liquids.
 The 1Quoit championship was cap tured by Steve Boucher and Monk McMahon, while / the high kicking contest was won by John Dick Mansfield. The latter also had charge of preparing the eats and the way the big fellow cooked 'em would make a Delmonico chef turn green with envy.
 The affair was in progress as early as a. m. and along towards noon the. crowd began to increase. At 2 o'clock Forest Grove was packed and at 4:3o the dinner was served. The outing came to close at 6:3o.

 The Renin gton-Arns mana cement in its efforts to build up a champion ship football eleven has taken a few more stars from the Yost eleven, which made such a fine record last season Frank Mccormick, who has been the Yost mainstay for several years, is the latest addition to the Rem-Arns forces. Fudge Pjura, who can play either center or left guard, will desert the Yost for the East Side team and Rosenpanny, guard for the Yosts, will be in the Arms line up, too. Flanagan, one of the best guards in the state, has decided to leave the Yosts for the Arms eleven and so has Silva, the fast. end. Silva did most of the goal kicking for the Yosts in for mer years. With Unk Seeley and Eddie Reilly, who have already gone with the Rem-Arms, this makes a very strong combination.
 The new field near the a1nshouse will soon be in shape for gridiron prac- tice. The Rem-Arms players will train faithfully and expect to capture the state title.
 The Braves must uncork a wonderful spurt if they expect to capture the Ma tional league flag. Their defeat in Chi cago yesterday while Brooklyn waA winning and the Phi1lies were idle, put them 39 points behind the leaders. That's quite a handicap at this time of the season.
 I The McFarIand-Gibbon bout struck many of the New Workers as a f1zzle. The New York Sun says Gibbons turned and walked away from Mo Farland at times although Packey was simply tapping him with his open glove. Secretary Harvey of the New York State Boxing Commission had to yell to Referee Joh to make the boxers mix it up a little.

Kclton, Feb. Yesterday was a
fine day for preaching and other
church work and today is fair and
the wind is cold. The roads and the
lands are drying out very fast and
if it does not rain again soon the
farmers can finish sowing their small
grain that they did not get IN before
Christmas. Practically no farm
work has been done yet. 1t is good
time to use the split log DRAG as the
roads will be very rough when they
dry out.

are getting plenty of advice about
working the public roads and it is
plain that they cannot follow all the
advice if they were so minded, for one

30 feet while others say 20 feet is

have seen almost every cotton field
in our section and there can be no
question but that one cause OF the
short cotton crop of this section last
wear was bad stands. The dry
weather helped in the bad stands
great deal, but big part of it was
carlessness in working. And there
is not one negro in a hundred who
is careful and not one white GLOSSY

How much better it would be to cut
your acreage one third, put third
more work on the preparation and
manuring, and three thirds more on
care in sowing and then you can
easily save one third time cultlvat-

acre less, in every four planted last

his own fault, voluntary or maybe
