reau through the State College of Ag-
riculture at &c per pound plus freight
which will make it cost the farmer
about l0c per pound delivered

This price to the farmer in this wav
is about one third what it would cost
him in a commercial way. AS the

WHO MAKES THIS TowN?-It isn't one mar

WHO MAKES THIS TOWN?-It isn't one man
any half dozen, dozen. 1t is every person in
town, as well as those who make practice of
coming to the town. We have citizens who are so
modest and retiring that they imagine their nfu-
is of no value, or has no weght-that it makes
no difference to the town what they do or do not
do. They are mistaken
We have become so accustomed to the progress
i've citizen that expect to hear from him on any
subject of any Importance. We would be more
or less nonpuSsed if he did not come to the front
But it is the action of the puiet and retiring ell
ement that adds impetus and puts real life into
movement for civic improvements They NAV not
assume to be leaders, but when they get behind
thing as premature halt
Little waveets tapping up on the seashore al
ways prccede the great tidal wave that sweeps ev-
erythng before it. 1t is so in community life
In each community there are few who arc al
ways promptly active in every good movement
They the little waves that never rest that are
creeping up on the beach advancing and receedine
necessarily the move until they create the great
wave of public sentiment that moves irresistiblv
on to victory and achievement
1t is the mass OF quiet citizens who constitute the
bulk OF that public sentiment 1t is the citizen
who possibly thinks that his own individual opin-
ion has but little influence upon community life
1t is the one who acts after others have talked.
You, therefore are one of the number who make
this town
You are expected to aid in making 1t even bet
Ter town. You can do it if YOU will

TOUGH OPPOSITION
FOR MRS. MALLORY
Tennis Champion Faces Mrs.
FaIk in Fourth-Round
Match Today
MISS BAYARD SURPRISES

Forest Hills. l.. l., Aug. 1s.-Play
for places in the semi final round Of the
womans national tennis championship
started at West Side this afternoon.
Nine players are left in the competi-
tion.
The feature match Of the day will be
between Mrs. Franklin I. Mallory. the
present champion. and Mrs. Ho,cnc
Pollak Falk. Of New York. Mrs. Falk
has been playing excellent tennis in
the tourney. and she is likely to give
the Morse woman good battle, al
though Mrs. Molla is the outstanding
favorite.
The other fourth round matches will
be as follows:
Mrs. May Sutton Bundy. Los Ange-
les, vs.. Miss Helen Gilleaudcau. New
York.
Mrs. c. V. Hitchins. Mexico City,
VS.. Mrs. II. Stuart Green, Ardsley,
y. Y.
Mrs. benjamin Cole. Boston, vs vim
ner of Miss Mary *. Browne Miss
Edith Sigourney match.
The contest between Miss Browne and
Miss Sicourncy WAS forced over until
today on account of the rain yesterday.
This is the only match remaining from
the third round. Miss Browne won
the first set, 60, and led three games
to one in the second set when the rain
came.
The playing of Mrs. Bundy and Of
Mrs. Col, stood out as the days chief
features. The California woman who won
the national title in 1904 easily master
ed Mrs. Edward W. Raymond, the No.
6 of the top ten, by the score 6-3, 6-2.
The ability of Mrs. Bundy TO overhaul
the passing shots of her opponent, who
once stood as runner-up for the title,
and her alcrtneSs of anticipation set at
naught the skillful driving and cross
counting Of the Eastern player.
Mrs. Cole met with surprising re-
sistance from Miss Martha Bayard,
the girl national indoor champion. The
latter proved herself conner" Quick
on the ball and with a dash and dar =
ing that kept Mrs. Cole on her toes the
girl fought through some of the best
rallies of the day. Strive ms she would
Mrs. Cole could not take love game
from the blonde haired youngster, and
il was only the wider experience Of the
older competitor that aided her TO q
victory.
