giving a complete list of the events,
together with the prizes and places
where the different contests will be

take place at the river. and some OF
the heavier affairs at the ball park.
But practically all the athletic stunts

impartially as possible.
One of the most exciting events OF
the program will be motorcycle

town and finishing at Bridge street

s25 prize to winner.
Provision will be made to avoid ac-
cident at the street crossings along

buy, borrow or otherwise obtain his
own tub. No limit on the number o.
entries. The only restrictions viii
be that round tub must be used

the trip across. In case no one sue
ceeds in the attempt the prize will &c
under certain conditions, to the on
who comes nearest to getting acros

Dear Sir:-In reply to your recent

farmers is yet sufficient to definitely
determine that there is any one best
variety of cotton for boil weevil CON
ditions. AS a rule, the largest crops
so far under our boil weeyil conditions
Rave been made from the early varie-

some of the large boil varieties, as

q think that for sections where
