given at that time t. The character of
the ears. Later selection during the
winter may be made in she barn when
leisure time presents itself.
The selection should be made from
stalks that are healthy and vigorous
and on which the top and leaves have
remained to thoroughly perform their
part in finishing the complete devel-
opment of the grains Other things
being equal, the ears should be held in
drooping position; but the shanks
attaching the ears to the stalk should
not be too long.
At least four to five times as much
corn should be selected in the fields
as is expected to be needed for next
years planting. The corn should be
well dried out and should be stored in

we know that death comes unan-

gives no days of grace. He claims
his own quickly. But the man in
the trenches knows that when his
call comes he has fulfilled his obi

game Of life. But what of him who
stays behind, yet shrinks from his
duty here at home? THINK THIS
OVER. 1t may be long time be-

There may be hours of after serious
contemplation; when it is too late

fact that you failed to do your duty

that have passed, when the wor,d

will not be worth living to the man

In the death of Major Augustus P.
Gardner, this country has suffered a
great loss. Major Gardner was one of
the wise and patriotic men who vain
ly tried to induce this country to pre-
pare for war in time, and was in con-
sequence a target for the sneers and
abuse of the fatheads who are now
finding out that what he said was
only too true. Major Gardner had al
ready dome his bit" He was a
Spanish war veteran, he
was SO years of age, and was entitled
to stay at home and in his seat in
Congress, where, as matter of facI,
he was. much needed. Instead, he
went into the army, and took rank
lower than that he was entitled to in
order to be closer to the real work. A
real patriot was "Gussie" Gardner;
one of the men his country i'll can
spare.

ing their property to be trimmed.
The branches of said trees foul the
wires, wear off the insulation and
consequently every time there is a
violent wind there is succession of
spells of darkness. This trouble is
most marked in the second ward,
where there is the greater proportion
of big trees. OF course, the city has a
right to have all such trees trimmed,
whether the property owners approve
of it or not, but the authorities don't
like to hurt anybody's feelings, so the
trouble for the whole town continues.

again.

The Senators, undismayed, came back
more than strong in the first half of
the eighth, and had il not been for the
wonderful toss of Miller there would

to Bodie. Judge singled to right and
the feet Shotton dashed for third.
Miller picked up Judges blow and
hurled the ball to Baker on a line, cut
ting down Shotton as he slid into third.
1t was an amazing play, and the fans
showed they duly appreciated it..

to Baker. Howard Shanks batted for

Lavan. Shotton hit safely to centre,

sixteen between John G. Anderson. tho
scratch man of the Siwanoy Country
Cluo, and J. S. Worthington, the mid
Surrey golfer, who is also member of
the Siwanoy Country Club and has the
low handicap of one stroke. So the two
men are practically on even terms.
Had he been getting q stroke on this
occasion 1t would have been on the
fourth hole, of 544 yards. and 1t would
have been useless to him, as Anderson
won this particular hole in to 6, par
being 8. AS 1t was, however, Worthing-
ton put up pretty good game
Anderson started off by winning the
first hole in one stroke under par and
the second hole in one stroke over par.
while Worthington won the third in
par. Anderson won the fourth in one
under par, and Worthington the fifth
IN one over par. Anderson won the
sixth and seventh in par, and after
halving the eighth Worthington won
the ninth in par, leaving Anderson 2 up
at the turn.
Worthington then won the tenth, and
the next two holes were halved in par.
Anderson won the thirteenth in par
and was again 2 up. The fourteenth
was halved, and Worthington won the
fifteenth in one stroke under par. An
derson then won the sixteenth in one
stroke under par, and as the seven
teenth was halved in par the match
ended with Anderson the victor bv 2
