scribed as an excellent feed-stUn for

The invention promises TO have an
important effect in solving the prob

Germany imported very large quaint

stuEs for animals. like barley. Indian
corn. and oil cake of various kind. So
large was the import of such products
that more than half of the milk supply
OF the country was produced from
them.

After the annual army maneuvers in

started out in the usual honeyed tone

The severity of his criticisms made

BOTH SIDES WRONG
IN This ball war

The Harrington Journal comments
thusly on a recent baseball game now
affecting the nome club.
From information received regard
ing the riot in Woolside during the
hall game last Saturday, we believe
both sides we're wrong. Harrington
went to Wooaside TO try to WIN the
ball game. Their opponents were
angry because they were losing the
game and tried to arouse tile anger
of the Harrington playerc. which
should have been avoided but in the
seventh inning with the score IL to .,
in favor of Harrington, one of lie
Woodside plaYais touched a base rum
ner with his list as well as the bail,
which was resented by blows, followed
by a general dsht from rOoters join
ing. and the swinging of bat by an
outsider whn run away Immediately
after hitting two of the players. Wood
side was wrong by not taking defeat
calmly. while Harrington was wrong
by being urged into the fight The
Harrington players are much embar-
rassed by the O'ltcome and state that
any player allowing anger to arise
during a game. will be ruled ort of
the game for the season.
