Elk Juniors were defeated. 1912, by the
Rosebuds. This contest was featured
by the brilliant work Of n. Meyers. In
the sixth inning he had eleven strike
outs to his credit and in the remaining
three innings he famed seven more

On the other side the brilliant work
was done by Hap the Rosebud pitcher,
and the umpire, who. by the way. was
one of the Rosebud fans. This umpire
incensed the Elks so far that they came
near following the example of the St.
Louis fans. After Polito, the center
fielder of the Elks. had hit home run,
the umpire declared 1T foul bali.
though 1t was over foot inside the
fair line. But in the ninth inning came
the worst decision Of ell. The score
stood nine to nine when the Elks came
to bat for the last time. They managed
to get three runs. After two out the
Elks wanted to put In a pinch hitter.
this the umpire would not allow, claim
ing that only bench men could bat In
pinches. But when the Rosebuds came
to bat the umpire allowed Hap, who was
also the Rosebud's star batter, to bat
three times in that same inning.
The Elks outplayed the Rosebuds
every minute of the game but they
never at any time during the game out
played the umpire.
The Elks will challenge the Rosebuds

He opened with the statement that
the food question was the most i'm

the young man was needed more on the
farm than in the trenches. The farm
ers of Penobscot county have already
pledged themselves to the production
of all food supplies possible. We have
no reason to believe, from any reliable
source that the war is to be a short
one. The plan of the conservation and
production of food is being worked out
