Reorganization Of the Twilight
League, which enjoyed a successful
season the summer Of 1919, is pro-
posed by managers and players of
a year ago. who have asked the
league president OF last season to
call a meeting for the purpose of de-
termining the sentiment OF all the
old club managers. It 10 probable a
meeting will be held early next week.

will be attempted.
Those who are actively interested
in the reorganization claim to have
canvassed the situation and to have
found that most, If not all, Of last
years clubs would come into men,

clubs may be organized II necessary.
The promoters claims to have new
organizations ready to take the
places of any Of last years members
not wishing to start again this year.
Amusement for Masses.
Twilight league baseball has proved
that 1t Is worthy Of serious consid-
GRAFTON as a pastime for eighty or
more men and summer amusement
feature which attracts hundreds Of
fans. The attendance at some of the
games last year ran into the hun
dreds, and while there was much
good and some bad ball played. the
sport as whole was worthy of pub
lie attention.
No admission fee was charged and
hundreds availed themselves of the
opportunity to see the games in
which only local players participated.
Games were played twice e week
both at the fair grounds and at the

purpose Of making money or for the
profit of any one connected with the
organization. In fact. very little
money finds IL way into the treasury.
and that, for the most part, Is by
subscription from the Clubs them

taken at some of the games to help
defray expenses. The clubs secure

Finds Profitable
Business Gathering,
Selling Wild Ferns

Following what seems to have de-
veloped into something of a local
hobby for gathering and planting
wild ferns in shady spots, usually
AROUND the foundation Of homes, one
man has developed q little industry
in this business. When 1t is known
that Re has been getting as much as
81 each for fine large specimens, the
profit in it can be realized. Whether
or not the owners Of the land care
or wo lid object to ferns being dug
from their land and carried of is
not known. In any event, hundreds
and perhaps thousands of fine speci-
mems Of the common wild fern have
been lug In the wooded pasture on
tho Plum Bros. farm northwest OF
tho city on the sand" road to AL
bion.
Almost nightly owners Of auto
mobiles have been driving to the
spot, where, 1t Is said, tho ferns arc
growing by the thousands, and have
been digging them and hauling them
home. A sharp heavy digging tool.
preferably q sharp spade, 10 best
suited to digging the ferns. Their
fronds spring from masses Of inter-
woven roots that in turn have
grown, from one much larger and
tougher root. These roots are very
hard to cut unless . sharp tool is
used.
