A New PTIma Donna

The meteoric career of Rosa Pom
selle, the newest American prima
donna. is like a fairy tale.
Yesterday Rosa was a poor, un
known girl doing a sister act" In the
movies: today she is a great star al
the Metropolitan Opera House, shar-
ing honors with Caruso, Scott. Nine
Homer and the other world-famous
songsters.
Rosa's debut is the first operate
sensation here since the startling APP

school with Stinchcomb and a smooth
working team in action.
The reason for such optimistic pre-
dictions is the showing Stinchcomb
has made this season in the 'unoff-
cial" football season all grid fgans
have enjoyed. AS backfield man for
the Clevand Naval Reserve team-in
which branch of the service Stinch-
comb has been serving-"Pete" has
romped around opposing ends-plung-
ed through their lines and carried his
team to the fore ranks of military
and naval football ratings.
But all of that is in the passing now.
1919 will find the collegiate fields
stripped for inter-school and confer
ence schedules as in days OF old, the
same as all other branches Of anna
teur and professional sport will be.
So like two years ago when h ia
nous Chick Harley pranced his Ohio
team to the Big Ten championship
watch for Pete ~Stinchcomb in 1919.

Last Week for Pike and
PiCkerel In New Jersey

One week remains for pike fishing
in New Jersey. Pork rind Is a great
lure. Pickerel fishing ais ends on
Saturday. and probably the most kill
ing bait Is the belly of the fish itself
trolled along a different course than
hat taken by the boat. The rod
should be jerked occasionally to int-
mate that the pickerel is likely to lose
the bait unless it grabs 1t quick.
FrostRsh have appeared in the wat
ers OF Hugenot and Staten Islanders
are fishing nights for this winter fish,
using clam bait. In winter frostfish
are frequently stranded when feeding
at night, and many a fisherman walk
ing along the shore is able to kick u

Bedell Here for Fight with
DOtty; Curry After Herbert

Johnny Bedell. the former Amboy
fighter. has arrived In town and looks
1T as a fiddle for his eight round russell
with lack Dotty, who claims Youngs-
town. Ohio, for his home, but at the
present time is working at the Cali
.fornia Loading plant. Bedell, who
now calls Braddock. Pa, his home,
has trained earnestly for his battle to-
morrow night and assured Joe McNul-
~ that his fight on the morrow would
surprise the fans. Bedell had quite a
following in this town when he fought
at the old Permo. also managed by
Joe McNulty, in the days before box
ing was abolished in this state. The
Bedeil- Maize fights were the chief top
les of Interest in those days and their
bouts were slashers. Johnny has been
out of the prize ring for some time
and IL is only lately that he has
donncd the gloves again and taken an
active part In pugilistic circles. In
Pittsburg and Braddock, the ex-local
lad appeared quite a number of times
in aid of h war work drive and Is
now satisfied that he can put up a
fight that will make him the old Am
boy favorite he used to be.

clever local bantam. Curry, who Is
the recognized feather and lightweight
champion of the Island. is at present
In III service of Uncle Sammy and Is
stationed at Pelham Bay. Since Mike
Maize quit the four poster ring Curry
has become the favorite of the Island
and cleaned up everything in the
feather and lightweight classes. VIII
lie Is hot on the trail OF Herbert ana
from all indications ii looks as though
joe McNulty. the local promoter. was
going to match these boys in the very
near future.
Matty Herbert at the present time is
a very busy boy. One of the biggest
bouts OF his career is staring him In
the face and he Is working hard to
make a good showing. On Saturday
night he swaps punches with Pete
Herman. the worlds champion ban
tam weight, at Philadelphia, and n
win or even a draw for the local boy
will put him in the Illustrators class
and give him much prestige.

DOUBLE TREATMENT RULE
FOR SHOW HOGS LIFTED

Atlanta.--An official order by DR.
Peter Bahnsen, state veterinarian
abolishing the requirement for double
treatment for hogs exhibited at the
Southeastern fair, October 1919, will
be welcome news to breeders in the
southeastern states who desire to
show at Atlanta and other fairs in
Georgia
Heretofore the rules required all
swine to be protected from cholera
by what is known as the serum-simul-
taneous treatment and in addition to
that exhibitors were required to file
an affidavit giving number of swine
to be exhibited with breed and regis
tration, all of which tended to dis
courage some breeders from showing
in Atlanta. Now that these rules have
been abolished it is expected that il
will materially increase the number
of herds at Lakewood

GINNED UP TO SEPT. Is

Washington.-This years cotton
crop was estimated at 11,818,00O
equivalent 500 pound bales by the de-
partment of agriculture today, basing
its estimate on the condition of the
crop on September Is, which was 54.4
per cent of normal, and which fore
casts yield of 1541 pounds to the
acre.
Today's estimate put the 1918 crop
more than half a million bales above
the total yield last year. A decrease
however was shown in the condition
of the crop on September rs as COM
pared with the corresponding date of
the previous month. The condition
was 54.4. The August 18th estimate
was 55.7. The indicated acre yield
was l54l as compared with 1897, the
final figure last year.
Despite the condition and yield esti-
mates, the department. indicated a
crop $4,000 bales larger than it
counted on month ago.

Club was held Wednesday afternoon

fifteen members of the twenty-nine

alternate. Mrs. George Brown, as
president, was urged by the member
ship to attend this convention if pos

best the club aMerded in spite of ex-
listing war cond1sons. The date was
left open, the arrangement of the
program making it special day this
year.
A letter of congratu1ation on the
purchase of three fifty dollar Liberty
Bonds last year was read, and while
the president explained that the de-
pleted condition of the treasury made
it impossible for the club to purchase
any of the present drive, she urged
that every member buy to her limit
and to use her influence in the sale of
bonds.
In her outline, of the years work,
the president also urged the practice
of patriotism in every form during
the war, telling of the wonderful work
of small mountain villages in her ma
tive state, Montana, for the Red Cross
and of how farmers brought in stock
to be sold, the women bringing gifts
OF fancy work, canned fruit and vege-
tables, and other things to aid the
cause.

study the European countries now
engaged in war, the one for Novem-
