CROPS LOOKING FINE.

1t is indeed very encouraging to
everyone to note the excellent con-
dition OF the crops throughout the
country at this time. Everywhere
you travel the same condition exists.
and prospects are bright for a most
bounteous harvest of every variety
of farm products. The same condi-
tion exists over all Of southern Ida
no; northern Utah likewise shows
prospects of big yield.
There Is an abundance of water
Tor irrigation purposes everywhere.
The frequent rains this spring have
been general and every section Of the
intermountain country has been visit
ed by warm, copious rains which
have been boom to growing crops.
The rains have fallen at such inter-
walls that farm work has scarcely
been interferred with.
Reports from Alton are to the
effect that never before in the his
tory of Star valley have prospects
anywhere equalled the present sit
nation Market conditions are on
the improve. and it is safe to predict
that the farmers will have a much
needed good year.

road will be improved, and rebuilt
In places. That is assured.
There is talk of holding get-ac-
quainted festival on the divide with
the citizens of Franklin county when
this road has been completed. We
can not think of a finer project than
to get right behind such movement
and prepare for such an event. The
divide affords a most suitable place
for holding a picnic, plenty of pure
spring water, tall pines and plenty
of green. 1t is the most ideal spot
in this section for SUCH gathering.
The proposition is to hold an outing
at this place jointly with the people
OF Preston and Franklin county, and
it would be a splendid thing.
Preston has fine lot Of boosters
and they are ready to get behind
such a movement the minute we say
the word. We believe the Chamber
OF Commerce of Montpelier and the
Paris Commercial club should. get
busy at once and designate commit
tees to work in conjunction with the
Preston club in promoting the affair.

COMMUNITY GAMES.

Someone struck the right cord last
week when a baseball game between
the business men of the city was sug-
gsted and successfully carried out.
With Main street as the dividing line
some real, good natured and whole
some rivalry was created, and the
results of the game didn't have the
slightest i'll effect. The real COM
munity spirit was developed in force
full manner and the business men of
the city got together on this occa-
sion in real fashion, and they enjoy
ed every minute OF the sport.
Community affairs Of this nature
are a wholesome stimulant to the
general welfare of city, and we
hope that such events will be more
frequent in the future.

:R7H AMBOY ELK BOWL ERS LOSE 2 TO BAYONNE
LoWenkopf Stars As
Y. M. H. A. Wins Again

On the Y. NJ. II. A. court last
night Manager l. Levine's Senior Y.
VI. II. A. team took the scalp Of the
All Collegian team Of this city in a
hard fought contest by a score Of
1922. 1t was the fourth victory for
the Y. NJ. H. A. team in FIVE games.
The game last night was a great
deal more interesting than the score
would indicate. There was a large
crowd in attendance.
Probably the best playing ever
exhibited by YAK" Lowenkopf,
pivot man of the Y. NJ. H. A. team.
was witnessed by those who attend
ed the game last night. Usually this
player has a great many chances TO
score from the field but all sorts of
hard luck prevents him from being
the highest scorer on the team. His
great height and build make him a
great asset against many Of the
teams performing on the court to-
day.
In last nights game Lowenkopf
scored five times from the field, and
his shooting during the early part Of
the game was responsible for the
association team taking the lead.
His floor work was also a big help TO
Manager Levine's team in this con-
test.
Irv Schwartzman, one of the stars
of the Y. VI. II. A. team of last sea-
son, started his first game with the
association team this season in the
game last night. He was stationed
in a forward position, scored three
times from the field and eight times
from the foul line. In the first half
Schwartzman did not miss a chance
from the fifteen foot line.
The Collegians gained a three
point lead shortly after the start of
the game, but good work by Lowen-
kopf and Schwartzman soon gave
the association players a lead which
they held for the remainder of the
game. The score at half time was
25-S.
In the second period the associa-
ton team continued its good work
and all OF the players used In this
game played a part in the scoring.

HOW MANY SHOTS HAVE YOU

Harry B. Moulton, the trapshoot-
ing champion of Vermont. has shot
his model '97 Winchester $4,000
times at the traps since May, 1908.
How many timej the gun has been
shot in the field Mr.. Moulton has no
record. Th+ gun is just as good to-
day as ii was when Mr.. Moulton pur-
chased 1t. We wonder if Frank
Troeh has kspt a record of the num-
Der of times he has fired his model
'97 Winchester at the traps. Troeh
has been thu top notch t~rapshooter
for about eight years and he usually
shoots about 5000 registered targets
each year. The chances are that he
shoots several thousand unregistered
targets. If T-oeh has shot at 10000
targets a year fof eight years. this
gives him 10000 shots with the same
gun, which was a second hand gun
when he got it-and the gun is Civ
ing Troeh as good service today as
when he got II. II you don't believe
