played at the Naval Academy yester-
day afternoon wherein the Sailors

The erra,ic pitching of Bolton in the
early sessions put the Sailors so far
behind that even after he had been
succeeded by Gaines, who steadied
down, they could not overcome the
lead the Tar Heels had gained. a
brace of hits put Johnson across for
the initial score in the first inning,
and then after the Sailors had come
back and gone one to the fore in the
third and fourth, Davis, Johnson and
Curley were scored.
The Middies nabbed their first run
through two free passes and a pair of
singles and finished their scoring with
hit, a stolen base and an error at
the plate

SAME B0THERSOME WEEDS
Pests to the AborlgInes Continue to Be
an Annoyance to Farmers Now
FILLING the Soil.

When Samuel Champlain earned the
gratitude Of succeeding generations by
keeping a journal as he sailed along
the coast from the mouth Of the St,
Lawrence to Cape Ann he recorded,
among other things, the appearance
Of the fields which the Indian women
cultivated not far from the site OF the
present town Of Gloucester Mass. He
described, relates q writer, the hoes
used by them, made from the shells OF
the horseshoe crab, creature which
interested him greatly, and he also told
of the weeds which these women
grubbed up with their primitive hoes,
thus saving their corn, beans and
squashes.
Among the weeds he mentioned es-
pecially the purslane of which he saw
enough and, II he could come back to-
day and inspect the gardens along the
Massachusetts shore he would find the
same weeds fiourishlng In the same old
way and holding their own against the
most modern Of farm implements.
More than that 1t would not be sur
prislng II he found fields in which the
weeds had gained the upper hand and
had smothered the planted crop,
whether Of beans, squash or corn, and
he could well be pardoned If he won
dered that agriculture, after more than
300 years, was still helpless against
the weeds which he had fought in his
day.

FIGHTING WITH POTATOES.

Over one-third of the worlds total
crop of seven billion bushels of pota-
toes will this year be produced In
Germany, for tho enemy is fully alive
to the big part food will play in de-
Gliding the war. The average crop
per acre there is two hundred bushels,
as against only ninety bushels In the
U. 8. A.
The potato Ia not only used as q
substitute for wheat -four and other
foods for humans. but is turned into
cubes and fakes for animals. II also
produces alcohol and substitute for
gasoline. Where there were only n
dozen factories in Germany turning
the potato to various uses when the
war started, there are now upwards
OF one thousand.

SENSlTlVENESS HURTS A MAN
AfflIctlon Often Results in Absolute
Ruin Of Persons Who Are Inclined
to BE Ambitious.

In an article called "How Cured
Myself of Being Sensitive" writer
says in the American Magazine:
"'Wagner, you've got ability he
cried, but you'll never get anywhere
in this world until you quit tearing
yourself to pieces I've watched you
for the last three years twice I've had
1t in mind to push you up notch In
the Office, and every time I've passed
you and picked some one else, because
knew you aren't At to handle other
men. No man Is fit to handle other
men until he has learned to control
himself. You can't, you're too blamed
sensitive.
"Little setbacks break your heart.
A letter Of complaint comes In from
some customer and you take 1t as n
personal criticism, and lose days
work broodlng over 1t. You see me in
conference with some of the other men
and you stab yourself wondering why
you weren't Invited and imagine that
have turned against you. You hear
about some one who Is making more
money than you, and Immediately oil
far fields look greener. You're a fair
ly useful cog In your present Job, and
1t might put me to some annoyance to
lose you. But you'll never hold big
Job until you can forget your own
petty self and learn to laugh when the
world takes crack at you. Hanged
If don't think sometimes 1t might be
better If you were to get out and try
your hand somewhere else.'"

Mental and Physical Work.

Mark Twain wrote MS follows on this
subject:
"There are wise people who talk
ever so knowingly and complacently
about the working classes and sat
isfy themselves that days hard In
tellectual work is very much harder
than days hard manual toll, and Is
righteously entitled to much bigger
pay. Why, they really think that, you
know, is because they know all about
the one, but haven't tried the other.
But know all about both and so fnr
as am concerned, there Isn't money
enough to hire me to swing a picknx

kind Of intellectual work for Just as
