She was one of the most brilliant and
effective speakers at the suffrage con-
ference held in Louisville, March q
and 2S. While in Kentucky Mrs. Col
nam will speak at Lexington and Rich
mond and ii is the hope of the state
board that two meetings beside the one
in Maysville, can be arranged for her

man suffrage in Maysville and Mason
county to make the local arrange
ments fitting the efforts of the state
board and the brilliant talent the board
has provided for the suffrage feature

this part of farming, and very

that are good authority on crops,
predict that the yields this yeah
will exceed those Of last yean.
Alfalfa is now hcady fos the
first cutting. The crop is up 12
TO l8 inches and the stand is ex-
ccedingly heavy. Some fear is
cit that, unless some dry weat =
ar comes, the growth will be too
rank.
Flax, which is usually put in
ate, in this section, has rome up
md is making a rapid growth.
Quite a large acreage of this
plant has been put in this year
because Of the large amount Of
new breaking.
Corn, although several weeks
late, on account of the cold damp
weather, is making considerable
headway and it is believed that
a yield of this crop will also be
secured.

New Leipzig Defeats
Lennon Ball Tossers

The losing streak of the Lem
mon ball team still continues
|, and on Sunday the boys went
down to defeat at New Leipzig
by a score of 5 to 4. That the
game was a close one is indicat-
ed by the score, but in spite of
the fact that New Leipzig new
had lead that would give them
a cinch on the game, it was
plainly ecident that Lennon
would not win, from the first
inning. 1t is not common
thing for the Herald to 'squawk'
after losing a game, but we feel
that there is some kick coming
on the way the ball team had it
handed to them at New Leipzig.
Three of the decisions made by
the umpire, who lords it over
the New Leipzig diamond, were
so far from being on the square
that even the most radical New
Leipzig fan admitted that the
umpire, made a mistake One
of these "dcisions' came in the
third inning, when the score was
tied; a man hit to center field;
the New Leipzig short stop tried
to cover the entire field and
dropped the ball. The umpire
called the batter out, declaring
that it was an infield fly. The
bases were full at this time SO
1t was absolutely necessary for
his honor to call somebody out
and the batter was the most con
venient. Again in the sixth,
Lennon got two men on and
the next man hit a clean single
to right field. One of the base
runners was blocked bd the sec
ond baseman and the umpire
called him out for interference.
The third rank decision came in
the ninth when the umpire called
man out at third. He did not
explain his reasons for this de
cision.
Lennon does not mind being
defeatd by a good ball team, but
they dislike nightly to be sub
Jected to highway robbery in
broad daylight.
Scymanski was on the mound
Tor the Lennon team and pitch
ed winning ball all the way
through. He allowed only six
scattered hits and struck out
twelve men.
The remainder of the lineup
was practically the same as in
previous games.
