The cheese buyers worked their trick
as slick as a Spectator could. Three
weeks ago the price on twin cheese
was 12hc Last week when we got
our market report the price OF cheese
jumped up to 1Sc per pound. IL the
farmers could only store their cheese
which is made during May, June and
the first half Of July and hold it un,
fill the first of August they could get
some where near what the cheese Is
worth. This would require some as
sistance from the local banks as the
farmers would have to borrow about
30 per cent of the value of the cheese
to tide them over during these two
special months.

began to wake up and score home runs
i'm their favor Both teams made
few errors and it seems that for some
reason lady luck, turned against the
home team and let the visitors gel
the best of them. But then, cheer up

hall such a wallOp that it went up tt
the moon and got caught on one o.
the stars. One of the players who wa!
, in that region in search of mOonshin'
noticed the stray ball and caught it

and veil when the Sheldon boys were
