Novice Bail Game.

Tuesday afternoon several of the
boys around town departed for
ProctorS Park and put on a ball
game The boys from the south
side of the track played against the
boys on the north side. After
playing nine innings the boys from
the south were sticking on the long
end of 104 score. Some of the
plays were spectacular and worthy
of big team work, while others
were not even good bush" plays
Strike outs, hits and errors were
numerous and the score keeper fell
down on the official score The
game will be repeated in few days
and the loosers expect to Pat up a
better fight.

Suggestion to Farmers

A Quincy man who has done
considerable travelling in the past
few days has a suggestion that
will prove OF considerable benefit
to farmers who are unable to cut
their wheat. With the farmer 1T
has been a question Of getting
into his field on account of the
recent rains The Quincy mans
suggestion is the opening OF q
furrow in the field for the back
wheel of the binder to travel on
A fourteen inch disc is recon-
mended.
This throws the soft, muddy
soil to one side and leaves a hard
firm surface for the wheel Of the
binder to travel on. While In
Missouri recently the local man
was watching operations in a
wheat field and the idea occur
red to him. 1t worked well. Since
then he heard of some nine or
ten farmers in the Carthage
neighborhood who were unable
to get into their fields and tele-
phoned the word to them with
instructions for the farmers to
try the experiment. In Pike
county it is understood also that
the experiment has been tried
with success.-Quincy Wing.
With the idea of aiding some
of the farmers IN this vicinity
in harvesting their oat crop we
reprint the above suggestion of
the Quincy man. Most Of the
wheat crop here in Monroe coun-
ty has been cut by some meth
cd, improvised or otherwise, but
just at present the oat harvest
is "A pretty serious proposition.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16-In the

Congress, however was aroused by

the current naturalization law. BY
this law, all of the courts, both state

This administrative authority rests
with the bureau OF naturalization OF

With the creation OF this federal
control, all of the lawlessness ceased,

declared their intention. or taken out
their first papers. Something over
10000 have asked for final papers
and of these, about 100000 have been
admitted to citizenship during thai

During the same time, there have
been upwards of $500 0foreigners Wnc

Mr.. YarrOw said many Armenians

hIng Constantine Takes Charge.

London-King Constantine of Greece,
brother-in.law OF the German emperor,
appears to hold the balance of power
in the near east for the hour. In the
second crisis, when Greece seemed on
the brink Of entering the war by the
side OF the entente powers, he has vir-
tually dismissed the foremost Greek
statesman, Eleutherios Venizelos, from
the premiership, and has asserted per.
sonal control of the government.
1t is reported that King Constantine
has asked Alexander Xaimis, a former
premier. to form a cabinet.
The possibility that Greece may try
TO remain neutral, fearing to stake the
nations fate IN the success of either
party to the great war Is recognized In
England. although it is considered
small. The hopes Of the entente pow.
ers are that the king may find ii best
to bow before the will of the people,
as he has done before.
French officials declare that the
landing Of the allied troops will take
its course and that the Greek people
have given them an enthusiastic re,
ception.
bulgarian reports say mobilization
Is being completed rapidly and that
many German officers are arriving.
News from Roumania is scant. Fe.

has been no general mobilization.
There Is nothing to indicate that the
