BINGi BANG! WHIZ!
 STAUFFER WHALES
 OUT TWO-BAGGER

This 'tkidding'' of Ed Stauffer on the batting stuff must cease immediately. The E'Pittsburgh Stogie," yesterday, went over the top twice. He earned a niche in tho Hall of Fame by being the first Brown Derby to make a hit this season, and it was a ''peach'' of & twO-bagger to left field. The big noise came in the third in- ming and raised quite a cOmmo- tfon among the grandStandees and in the Bridgeport dugout. The feat brought back memories of Stauffer's screeching three -bagger of last season.

No loans are to be made for any 9th
e. purpose, or to any other class of
fa rmers whatever than those men
toned in this paragraph. Crop fail

ment. Only bonafide farmers having
no other business than farming may
