Bdrons Divide Double BiH With Fast Memphis Chicks

 Hurls Nice Game-Back Hit Hard
By FRED BoDEKER

After play had been delayed ap-
 proximateIy half an hour by
 brisk shower, the Memphis Chicka-
 saws and the squirting Barons
 cIashed in a double bill yester-
 day afternoon at Rickwood and
 ended the days work with neither
 aggregation gaining an advantage.
 The Barons won the first conflict
 by the tune of to 2, while the
 Chickasaws copped the second en-
 gagement-an abbreviated contest
 -by the count of to ,.
 The field was in poor condition and play was slow. Hard hitting featured each contest. Fast fielding or base running was impossible under the circumstances and on several occasions a long drive was held to double or triple when it would generally be good for an easy circuit clout.
 Ralph Comstock pitched steady ball for the Barons in the first fray Errors by his teammates, together with slow field ing, gave the visitors both of their tai lies. They scored in the second inning without the aid of a safe blow.

Unusual Sugar Extraction

Unusual Sugar Extraction
The Donaldsonville Chief tells of
an interview with Mr.. Odressi Croch-
ct, well-known citizen and sugar
boiler Of Ascension Parish in which
Mr.. Crochet tells Of the fine grade
r-of sugar being made and the large
y xtraction from the cane.
- "Mr. Crochet, who is one Of the
oldest and most experienced sugar
boilers in the state, reports that the
sugar extraction is greater than it
has been in many years." says the
Chief, "He says that some Of the
factories are obtaining as much as
fifteen pounds more of first sugars
per ton of cane than in past years,
and in his opinion the extraction is
larger than it has been since 1882,
which was banner year insofar as
sugar extraction is concerned. The
sugar, he says, is Of an exceptionally
fine quality"

Important to Mothers
QUESTION ALL MUST ANSWER
Time Comes When Every Man viii =
Be Asked as to the Harvest He
Has Reaped.

Earth shows her harvest in pride Of
fullness or regret of bitter poverty
what is ours-we who also have had
our year? AS the old phrase has 1t,
What fruits have we brought forth?
Man is not bound to the seasons as
TILED land is and needs no barn to
gather his soul in when autumn comes;
but, with the same plainness, he
either does not yield the values by
which mankind truly lives. When fall
closes down on summers parting the
greatest and the least of us have
either helped or hindered the perma-
nent welfare of our race. Mans own
business Is to increase justice and
kindness; to make more of patience,
humility and courage; to see to it that
evil loses and that good Is strength
ened in the unending conflict of those
forces. For the souls harvest home
1t Is either tares or wheat; there is no
fallow ground. The sowing is unseen
of others, and the reaper, also, but the
care and thought that go to the grow
ing of the crop are much the same.
But mans own harvest is infnity and
eternally more important than that'
which he wrests from the field.-Col-
lier's.
