II any Of the New York Giants had
hoped to get raise in pay next season
they may prepare to burst into tears.
The New York management has de-
cided that all of the Giants must get
along with the same contracts next
year though it's possible that all of
the players have not yet been inform
ed of the same. President Hampstead
and Manager Muggsy have been in no
great hurry to chat with the boys
about it. Most of the games stars
who are lucky enough to be still at it
all next summer should be willing to
worry along on the nice fat wages
they are now getting. especially at a
time when baseball is none too pros
porous anyway.

Alexander Won 30
and Lost Thirteen

Grover Alexander. who was sold to
the Cubs this week, has been with the
Philadelphia club seven seasons and
in that time he has won 1870 games and
lost eighty-three, percentage for that
time of close to $50. Last season he
won thirty and lost thirteen, SO he
isn't slipping slabman in any sense
Of the word. In 1917 he took a new
record for shutouts. Alexander is ex-
actly thirty years of age, the only
thing against him as a valuable pur-
chase for the future.

Fall weather is with US and many

Frost was quite visible on Tuesday
morning of this week, although nc
damaging effects were noticeable 9th
er than that a heavy oyercOat felt
comfortable before sunrise.
The peach crop of 1917 is over and
while there proved to be a bumper
crop, prices were not good. The de-
licious fruit will be missed. TOma-
toes, far more profitable crop than
peaches, are now at their height, and
many who sold on the market for high
prices realized a harvest. Prices have
fallen now and the canneries are
able to get all they want for canning.
We have heard of no cases where the
farmers have been prosecuted by the
Gamers for not holding their contract
and great interest is manifested as to
the outcome of the suits in Kent
county.
The story is told that last week a
heavy loaf of bread came to the post
office here with no address other than
man, who was visiting here, called
and demanded the package of bread.
The postmaster first, however, opened
the bundle and took from inside the
loaf a pint bottle of whisRey and then
politely rendered the bread to the
claimant, who grabbed also for the
bottle We have not learned what |
became of the bottle, but the New |
Yorker departed soon for his city |

Mass Of Live Barbed Wire.
It is a long reach back from modern
war methods and big guns to the days
Of the pike and the battleax. But I'm
its time the pike did deadly work and
used in the phalanx was a terrible
weapon
A phalanx in the military affairs Of
Greece was a square battalion or body
Of soldiers formed In ranks and files
compact and deep. with their shields
Joined and pixies crossing each other
so as TO render it almost impossible to
break it. At first the phalanx consisted
of 1900 men, but this number was aft
erward doubled by Philip Of Macedon,
and the double phalanx is hence often
called the Macedonian phalanx. PoIyb-
ius describes it thus:
1T was a square Of pikemen, CON
sisting Of sixteen in flank and 500 I'm
front. The soldiers stood so close to-
gether that the pixies Of the fifth rank
extended three feet beyond the front
The rest, whose pixies were not service
able owing to their distance from the
front, cOuched them upon the shoulders
Of those who stood before them and,
so locking them together in file. pressed
forward to support and push on the
former rank. by which means the as
sault was rendered more violent and
irresistible The spears OF those be-
hind also stopped the missiles Of the
enemy. Each mans pike was twenty
three feet long. A grand phalanx con-
sisted Of 1894 men.

A Watch Repairing Tip.

It's astonishing how many fine
watches are ruined each year by be-
ing placed in the hands of poor and
inexperienced workmen for repairs.
A slight oversight on their part often
causes an unnoticeable grinding and
that will wear out the best
movement made in a short time. Why
run the chances? Leave your repair

that long experience and honesty can
give. Stokes, the Jeweler, Milford.
