Rising Sun Wins It's Second Came
In Championship Series

In Championship Series
The third game in the serigs be.
tween Rising Sun and Perfyviiie for
the county championship was played
on the local grounds Saturday after
noon last. 1t brought out big
crowd and proved the most exciting
Of the three that have been played,
Rising Sun winning, now having two
games to her credit, while Perryville
has but one. The series is best out
of five and the fourth game will be
at Perryville on Saturday.
Finn pitched a great game for
Rising Sun, striking out fourteen
and allowing but three hits, one of
these being scratch. His team
mates backed him up in fine style.
Six hits were made off of Alexander,
three of them being three-baggers.
An error by centerfeld, in dropping
fly, followed by two three-base
hits, resulted in two runs for the
home team in the second inning, the
only ones made during the game, but
poor coaching of runners cost Rising
Sun two runs, as Taylor and Kirk
lost chances to score after cracking
out three-base hits, through fault OF
the coacher at third. The score:

HOW TO MAKE A GAS LIGHT
SAFE.

You might think that no person
need be reminded that all gas
flames, everywhere, at all times,
should be protected by globes,
but fire-records prove that tnou-
sands of persons go on using
gas flames without globes, and
allowing them to get in the way
of blowing curtain, or TO be
pushed too near to woodwork;
and then, presently, they are
astonished at having fire. The
difference between a safe gas
fame and one that is dangerous
is almost always the mere mat
ter of a globe.

Mr.. Ernest Cullen read a short
paper telling in brief and concise
way, the best time to SOW wheat in
this latitude and why.

TWO CHANCES TO IN +
CREASE THE WHEAT CROP
Growers May Have Both Profits az
Well as One.

Many wheat growers are overlooking
two chances Of increasing their wheat
crop after it is planted and thereby
getting larger acre yields and bigger
profits. This extra yield and profit is
secured by top-dressing the wheat
early in the spring with available
plantfood, preferably in the form of
an ammoniated phosphate fertilizer.
This is fertilizer carrying ammonia
and available phosphoric acid that
gives the young wheat plants, weak
ened by the winter, sturdy start and
furnishes plantfood to make the extra
gain. When barnyard manure is used
it had best be applied as thin, even
covering or top-dressing early in the
winter. Whenever possible use the
manure spreader for this work, as
hand dressing Is not satisfactory be-
cause 1t leaves the manure lumpy and
uneven.
Fertilizer applied early in the spring
increases the crop yield in two ways,
first, by making the stalks and heads
already started grow larger and by
increasing the tillerings or stooling.
Every extra "tiller" means an extra
head. Only few extra ''tiFlers" to q
plant means several more bushels to
the acre. If the wheat is top-dressed
late in the spring, that is after it has
made good start, 1t will not "tiller,"
hence the only chance to increase the
yield is by frightening stalks and
heads, but by fertilizing early the
chances Of increasing yields are
doubled.
For spring top-dressing, the broad
caster is better than the fertilizer
drill. 1t covers the ground more rap
idly and the inconvenience OF keeping
the drill disks or hoes out of the
ground, or Of removing them, is
avoided. The ordinary fertilizer drills
can, however, be satisfactorily used
for top-dressing If care is taken to
fasten up the hoes or disks away from
the ground, or to remove them.

A singular incident happened to
Mr.. A. G. Russell about two weeks
ago. He bought meat of butcher
wagon to the amount of $40. Mrs.
Russell cooked it and left it in the
dinner pot on the stove and they
went to the store. When they re-
turned everything was just as they
left with the exception of the meat,
which had disappeared. What's the
answer. Was it like the sunsets
glow that fades away or did it take
feet and walk away.

REMEMBER THE ANT
Save and have!


Remember the story of the
ant and the grasshopper? The
ant worked and saved. The end
Of each day found him with a
little more added to what he
had the day before. The grass
hopper danced and sang and
fiddled his time away. Winter
came; the ant had plenty. The
grasshopper had nothing; he
had not saved. He went to the
ant and asked for help. Said
the ant: "While I worked, you
fooled your time away. You
can dance now for all ! care"
Are you an ant-person or a
grasshopper person? Some
time are you going to have to
ask for help and will someone
tell you to dance; or will you
be independent?

later on. Let the end OF every
week find more Thrift Stamps
