the score of to g. Norm pitched
good ball throughout the whole game.

was too late, The game was featured
by a long home run by Coderre, in
the nth inning, with Asin on second.
After this the Grosvenor-Dales never

Tractor School At Elkton.

Farmers with progressive and
economical ideas, will be interested
in a .Tractor School" that will be
held at Elkton, in the Court House,
on January IA, 18th and 18th.
The object of the talks and
demonstrations (mosaly demonstra-
tions) is to acquaint the farmers
with the wide usefulness and the
proper care of tractor machinery and
gasoline engines.
No particular tractor will be en-
phasized, as the purpose of the meet
ing is not to boost" any make OF
tractor, but simply to let the farmer
know what great possibilities there
are, in the use of power-machinery
these days, and also to help the own
ers of such machines to better
knowledge, and therefore more in
telligent care of their machine.
AS an illustration of some of the
practical demonstrations, the demon
strators will make, right in the
Court House, the bitches which can
be made in order to use ones present
farm machinery in attachment to a
tractor. There will be, other prac-
tical demonstrations of how tractors
can "do the work" along various
lines of farm activity.
The demonstrators will be on hand
all three days, and wilt give enquir-
ers any possible help. 1t is decided
to have the meetings from 10 a. m.
to p. M, so as to give the farmers
time for the usual duties at each end
of the day. It is suggested also,
that if those attending would bring
lunch, it would save time.

great and good things.
He was born October 27, 1883, in
New York city. His first wife was
Miss Alice Lee of Boston. She died
in 1884, leaving one child, Alice,

Miss Edith Kermit Carow OF New
York. and to them five. children were
born-Edith, now the wife of DIR

dore, Jr.. Kermit. Archibald and
