LAST DAY GAMES MAY DETERMINE
THE WINNERS IN TWO CITY LEAGUES

Baseball in Wilmington for the
present season is drawing to a close.
The All-Wilmington League of the
present year will 90 into history to-
morrow with Nandever having the
pennant slowed away by at least a
one-game Margin figuring on the loss
of the last game to Pioneers Both tho
Del-Mar League and the Church
League win quit on the following
Saturday AZ this time the pennant
winner In neither of these leagues
is determined New Castle now lead
ing parksido in the Del-Mar League
by one game, and Madeley leading
Edge Moor In the Church League race
by Onc-half a game. Should New
Castle and Madeley win tomorrow
while Parkside and Edge Moor are
losing New Castle and Madeley would
look good as pennant winners. Defeat
for either Of the present Del-Mar and
Church League leaders while the
runners-up are winning would extend
the fight to the last minute of play.
Indeed, il is likely that the pennant
honor in one Of the leagues may have
to be decided by an extra game. The
Dol-Mar and the Wilmington
League leaders viii then play
series of games for the county champ
ionship.
The season has been a poor one
financially, particularly to the Del
Mar League. Starting the season
with the pick of the best ball players
in this county and Cecil county, Mary
land. the new organization promised
the fans the best semi-professional
ball they ever saw, and the league
made good IN this respect until July 4.

No mercantile business can jus tify itself in the South. as we see it, unless it will handle what the farmer has to sell as we'll as what be has to buy.

Farming Campaign, Little Rock, Ar. kansas.

By H. F. Auten, Chairman Profitable
 Farming Campa ign, Little Rock, Ar
 kansas
 The first question asked by the far mer is what kind of cattle shall raise. The answer is prompt. Raise the kind that will produce the most money Tn the shortest time, and this ts the question that must be answered by the experience of successful stock farmers. If you reside at or near a market where milk can be readily sold, then you should use only dairy COWS, sey, and these cows in dairy districts are popular in the order just named. Any COW which does not produce four to five thousand quarts of milk per year should be sold 10 the butcher. Milk will sell wholesale at , to 6 cents per quart and will retail at 10 cents per quart.
 Dual Purpose Cow Needed.
 In case the farmer has no milk mar ket handy, he should then raise cattle which will produce a fair quantity of milk and butter, and at the same time produce good beef These require ments are met more fully by the beef and butter strain of Shorthorns than by any other breed of cattle. The Hereford. sometimes called the white face" and the Scotch Shorthorn are purely beef animals. but they are not nearly so profitable for the farmer as the beef and butter strain of Shor;- horns. The cows of this breed will weigh from l ,2G0 to 1.600 pounds caca at maturity, and make from to II pounds of butter per week The par eel post makes it possible for every farmer in the state to send his butter to some central market. and fresh dairy butter will sell the year round at from 25 to 70 cents per pound This means that each COW will produce from B % to 35.00 worth of butter per week. The small farmer who Is only able to keep three or four cows will thus be enabled from his butter to buy his family supplies. clothing and purchase school books for the children, and the calf when grown will bring just as much as one of the calves from the purely beef strain and will be clear profit. owing to the fact that the COW has paid her way the year round. In case of purely beef cattle the far mer has to feed the COW one year rH order to get the calf and then has tN feed the calf the next two years. and all he gets for this three years of feed ,s the sale of the calf

Goth Birthday
OF Mrs. Fannie
Kirby Of Alton

Old Town, Me-, July 9.-Mrs. Fannie
Kirby of Alton celebrated her 96th
birthday, Wednesday and entertained
her friends and relatives all day. The
guests began arriving early in the
morning, coming by team and automo-
biles from this city and elsewhere and
by noon time all the guests had arrived.
\ bountiful dinner was served at noon
by Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Gardner, the
latter a daughter Of Mrs. Kirby's. who
make their home with her and give
her the tenderest and best care pos
sible. The afternoon was spent in a
social way telling stories and talking
over old times. The boys amused
themselves playing baseball. much to
the amusement of Mrs. Kirby. The
guests all remained for supper and in
the evening there was a grand display
Of fireworks.
Her son John Kirby Of Lawrence,
lass. who always spends this day
with MS inuther every year, as it is
celebrated annually by her friends and
tiful birthday cake, with the year Of
birth and the present year on it. She
also received her usual check of 500
from an absent son and a bouquet of
96 pinks, one for each year of his
mothers life. This cake was cut and
distributed Sunday.
Although SO years old Mrs. Kirby
enjoys a good time and company and
also took an automobile ride during
the day. The guests were entertained
during the afternoon by readings by
Mrs. Jennie Vase who kept her audi
ence convulsed with laughter. There
were also piano solos by Miss Pauline
Perry and vocal solos by Henry Will
bur.
The house was filled with flowers
and gifts brought by the guests as
souvenirs of their love and affection.
The guests departed late in the eve
ming for their homes wishing Mrs.
Kirby many more years of good health
and are looking forward to the annual
reunion of friends and relatives next

of their value, while others are lost.
MILLION AND A HALE BOTTLES
THROWN AWAY.
In some instances, milk bottle ex-
changes have been established; these are
either owned and operated by the milk
dealers or by independent company
Establishments of the different dealers
are visited regularly, and all stray bot
ties brought to the exchange head
quarters where they are washed,
sterilized and assorted. The price
paid by the dealer to the exchange
varies from 4 to Il a cent. The object
is simply to aid the dealers in recov-
ering their bottles, and they can we'll
afford to pay the small price asked by
the exchange for this service. 1t does
not. however, do away altogether with
the large loss of bottles incident to the
milk business. Junk dealers and en-
ployees on city garbage and refuse
dumps very often return large numbers
of bottles to the milkmen: in fact, in
one city. the mlk-bottle exchange re-
covered. in three years, about 1,500, coo
bottles from the refuse dumps.
KEEP THE MILK COLD.
The city consumer Of milk can greatly
aid the dealer by cleaning and returning
promptly every bottle received The
bottle should be washed in clear, warm
water, then in very hot water. and stood
wrong side up in clean place to dry
This. done by the housewife, is particu-
larry saving when the dealer or dairy
man operates only a small plant and
does not have the outfit for rapid clean
ing. When milk is left in bottles to get
sour or to putrefy. il adds to the dairy
mans cost for cleansing them, and the
same is true when a little milk is al
lowed to dry in the bottle. especially in
the angle around the bottom.
Another way in which the cosumer
can cooperate is by quickly removing
the milk from the doorstep or porch
where the heat from the sun is likely
soon to affect it. The farmer and the
dealer, if they have done their part in
keeping the milk cold, can not be held
responsible if the consumer fails, imme-
diately upon receipt of the milk, to put
it into the refrigerator. A few hours
exposure to the summer heat soon brings
the temperature up to above 50 degrees
F., where the bacterial content increases
rapidly. The departments experts advise
keeping the milk, as much as it is prac-
ticable, in the original receptacle in
which 1t is received. and at a tempera-
ture of between 40 and so degrees F., thus
aiding in keeping down the great sum-
mer waste caused by the souring Of milk
before it can be used

COTTON FUTURES LAW
SHOULD BE STRENGTHENED

those exchanges future sales) and to
a part only Of that class of business
(sales not made according to govern
ment standards Of grading.)
Mr.. Caffey considered the argument
that the law had violated the consti-
tuition by delegating legislative power
to executive officials. He said powers
were conferred only on the Secretary
of the Treasury and the Secretary of
Agriculture. He explained the Sec
rotary Of the Treasury merely pre-
scribed rules for the collection of the
tax, for affixing and cancelling the tax
stamps and for keeping the records OF
persons doing business under the act.
The power of the Secretary of Agri-
culture to establish standards, to hear
disputes between persons entering into
contracts in accordance with these
standards, to designate spot markets,
were all mere details for the purpose
of carrying out of the act which he
said, were of a character which the
supreme Court had repeatedly decided
might be entrusted to an executive Of
ficer.
The penalties provided by the act.
he argued. were not SO severe as to
invalidate the law, and he saw no
serious objection in the contention
that the cotton futures law was
revenue measure and originated con-
trary to the constitution in the Sem
ate. On that point, he stated that the
cotton futures bill, introduced by
Senator Smith, of South Carolina. did
not propose to raise any revenue. and
that any way, Senator Smiths entire
bill, including the title and retaining
only the enacting clauses, was striker
out in the House and the Lever bill
was inserted and finally adopted by
Congress. Under those circum-
stances, he contended it could not be
said Justly that the measure origl-
mated in the Senate. Even if it had,
he urged that the Supreme Court had
refused repeatedly to go behind the
face of legislation TO sustain an at
tack on a federal statute. based on
charges of informalities in passage,
