NAME FAMOUS IN HISTORY
Josiah Wedgwood May Well Be Called
the Father of English Pottery
Business.

A correspondent writes that the
name of the famous English potter
should be spelled Wedgwood, not
Wedgewood, the latter, he says, being
a German name, Substituted to cap,
ture the trade of the famous English
firm Of Wedgwood." The name was
made famous by Josiah Wedgwood,
who was born at Burslem, in Stat
fordshire, England, in 1880. He
learned the trade of a potter, and in
1859 set up in business for himself.
From the first he made experiments
in the direction Of securing better
material and better workmanship
and in both directions he succeeded
SO well that he may be said to have,
created English pottery. He pat
ented a cream-colored porcelain,
which from Queen Charlotte's ap-
probation of it became known as
queens ware; and he induced the
sculptor Flaxman to furnish him
with classical designs for what is
still known as Wedgwood ware
white cameo reliefs on blue or bis
cuit-brown ground. Josiah Wedg-
wood died in 1795.-Montreal Her.

In loving remembrance o
Riley Price, who died April Fl, at
the age of Sc years:
Gone but not forgotten;
A precious one from us has gone
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
God in His wisdom has recalled;
The loom his love had given,
And though the body slumbers
here,
The soul is safe in Heaven. "

Lovers of baseball here saw two
excellent games last week when the
local team played a series Of two
games with the team of the Florida

Another matter to be emphasized
is u thorough application of the
spray. A spraying machine that has
been standing in the weather with
the nozZleS and plungers corroded
cannot give an even distribution of
the spray. In order to put on 80 to
100 gallons per acre, the pump must
be in good order to keep up a uni
form pressure. Should it become
necessary to send to some distant
point for parts, the delay may be suf-
fciently long to allow a general
pread Of the Late Blight. During
the serious blight conditions that oc-
Cured in 1913 within the Irish pota-
to fields Of Florida, it was necessary
to apply the spray at the rate of
nearly 200 gallons per acre. This did
not kill out the disease, but only held
it in check. Most of the potato
growers passing through this eXpc-
Iience realize the correct situation.
However, with the excellent prospects
in view and high prices, even a small
area infected should be a matter of
serious consideration for every pota-
to grower in this section.

citing plays to settle. The local bat
terry was Barstow and Braddock; the
battery of the visitors was Hulvey
and Taylor.
The second game on Friday was not
so closely contested. The home team
secured a lead in the first inning and
maintained it to the last. The home
boys won by score of 8 to 2. The
batteries were Hulvey, Taylor and
Stickley for the visitors, and Cats
and Braddock for the home team
Cats is south paw pitcher, who
maintains he bears no relationship to
