FARMERS EIGHT WEEY!L

This week finds many of the
farmers throughout the county busy
spraying for the alfalfa weevil. The
pest which came into this locality a
few years ago is causing consider,
able damage. The farmers are com.
ing to realize that it is practical to
spray
In order that the spraying will do
its maximum good it should be ap-
piled at this time when the greatest
number of worms or larvae are
working on the plant. One spray ap-
piled at this time is sufficient for the
season. Fortunately there is only
one brood during a season and the
larvae go into the pupa stage dur
ing the month of June. They can do
no damage in this stage.
Most of the farmers are putting
special attachments on their orchard
sprayers. The attachment is very
simply and can be had at small cost,

ALL-STAR FOOTBALL.
 SELECTIONS START

New York. Nov. With the foot ball season more than half gone many brilliant players have crowded their way into the Hmelight, demand Der.
 Out of this assembage of crack perform CTS, whose playing has stood out notably in. the achievements of their teams, the members .O of the Inythica elevens will be chosen. It will. not be easy to select the first player for each of eleven positions. There is, as usual. an abundance of crack backfeld talent and while such players as ''Bo" McMillan and ''MaP' Aldrich stand out in great promi- hence, there is no telling what player may push them into the background by a series of superfeats before the season ends.
 OIcMiIlan, who seems to be the whole thing at Center, is bound to come in for serious consideration again this year. After his feat of beating Harvard he deserves it. Yet there are several other star backs to challenge McMiIlan's right to the title as the country's premier in the pivotal job. Killinger of Penn State, O'Hearn of Yale, Euwer of Princeton, Buell. of Harvard, and Romney- of Chicago are some of them. Killinger is concentrated INT. How any quarterback could possibly be much better than this lad is hard to find. among the hauoacks AIdf1ch, Yale captain, looms up as a brilliant player. Owens of Harvard. Charity of. Princeton, Barron of Georgia Techs great halfback, despite the fact that Penn State stopped his team; Wood of Army, Koehler of the Navy, French of the Army, Lightner of Penn State, Davies of Pitt. Ramsey and Lechler of Cornell and many others stand out as players of excep- tional value. Such a player is Cap tain Jim Robertson, Dartmouth half back. who leads rival players in SCOT ing points with a total of 67.
 King of the Navy, and Into, Ya1e's big Hnesman. are two of the greatest acl<les of the season; Bentz of Penn state, Landis of Yale and Stein of Pittsburgh, rank among the forem ost centers. Holleran of Pitt. McComber of Harvard, Blair of Yale, McColom of Penn State, and Roberts of Center are f1aShy ends.

Mister Fight Fan did you ever knc.v that Benny Leonard, champion Iightweighe boxer of the world, was knocked out in his first ring battle?
 That's what happened to Champion Benny and Joseph DOwney who Is experimenting. the. construction of the new PoH theatre on Main street, was one who saw this notable event in Ieonard's career.
 Downey, who Is a close friend of Leonard and his nanag ger, Billy Gib- son. was recounttng the incident yes terday to the writer. It happened about fourteen years back in Billy Gibson's old Fairnaount A. c. in New York.
 According 70 Downey. Leonard was rabid fight fan Nike the majority of East Side boys. It made it his bus mess to "crash the gates'' in the Fair mount at every show. Couldn't keep him out" said Downey. Whenever there was a fight Benny Leonard swould be in the rafters or a stow away in some other part of the house until the fights s:arted,' said Dow Qey.

SazU Benny Leonard Kay0ed M First Ring Engagement

One night Kid" Coleman was on the program to box, but his opponent failed to appear. It was then the present champion got his opportunity to climb the ladder to fame. Benny pleaded with Gibson to go on and the laster consentend. Benny, how-s ever, found Coleman too crafty for him, and went out by the layo route in the third round.
 That little setback didn't worry Benny. He came back wi7h a plea for another bout, his request being granted. According to Downey, Leon- ard showed vast improvement and put up a good fight.
 ''He was a persevering youngster,'' said Downey. ''and its due to these qualities that he made good.'
 Packy Mcfarland, when he was lightweight champion, took a liking to Leonard and gave the latter many pointers on ring skill Downey de- clares it was chiefly due to McFar- lands aid that Leonard turned out to be one of the best of ring cham pions. Other who gave Benny as- sistance when he started out were Jack McArdle. one of the old Fair mount Club moguls, and Billy Johs, the old referee.

JIM CLARkIN STILL
 HAS FLAG DREAMS

Hartford, Nov. 1-Although the baseball season has only recently ended, Jim Clarkin, owner of the Eastern League franchise, is already making plans for the 1922 campaign. and in so doing is going to adopt the policy that brought Hartford its pennant back in 1913.
 The magnate is going out after players himself. He is going to get his team or the greater part of 1t, to- gether before thinking about a man ager and then he is going to look around for someone who knows how to handle men. And during the sea- son, according to his present plans, he is going to be the directing force.
 The past season was marred by in difference among many of the play CTS, caused. doubtless, by the fact that they had no less than four managers, all of different types. over them. A reverting to the policy that brought a bunting to Hartford in 1913 could have no worse results than have been experienced by the owner of the club in the last seven years,
 Anyway, it will be a novelty. Clarktn wants a pennant. He has hired men to get him what he wants and they have failed. Next year he is going after it himself.
