Johnny Dundee Taking a
Chance Bout Tonight

New York, Aug. 27.-Johnny Dun.
dee, featherweight champion of the
world meets Eddie Kid Wagner at
Shetzlin Bali Park, Philadelphia, to-
night, and a tremendous risk he is
taking. Not that Wagner is likely to
knock Dundee forty ways for Sunday
or even win the popular decision, but
let's be Jobs comforter for while.
When Dundeed signed to meet this
speedy trick from Quakertown he
knew that broken hand. an arm,
leg, yea, neck, might spoil his
chance to annex the lightweight title
at the Yankee stadium on Sept. 5,
when he meets Benny Leonard.
Dundee figures to outpoint Wagner,
but then there is always the chance
of being injured, and. splendid little
gambler that he Is, he has no lurking
fear of black men, jinX birds or hoo
doc hounds.

From the standpoint of the Corbin
fans, the playing of the Red Sox was
disappointment and far from their
usual standard Their push and go

The Bosses started things in the
second inning when, with two out,
Berg made a poor throw of Schroe-
der's hopper. The runner took sec
ond and scored on Budnick's triple to
left when the ball took bad bound
over Snyder's head Another run

Fitzpatrick doubled. Huber handled
the ball poorly and the run counted

Short Story of the Almond.

Almonds come from Morocco and
the Mediterranean countries general
ly, although Spain makes a considera-
BILE contribution. They are gathered
at various minor points through the
African country and brought by camel
to Mogardo which is the export CEN
ter. Here they are'Yeighed and rec
ord made of the quantity and quality
for reference when the settlement is
made. They are tested for the per-
centage of bitter almonds by an in
spector who bites the end off and
elects the piece, for the bitter almond
contains certain amount of poison.
The next operation is sitting. which
is done by native squatting beside a
pile of the nuts and performing the
operation by hand, at which he be-
comes very deft, great speed being ac-
quired by practice The sacks de-
signed for export are blessed" by the
natives with sort of chant.

SWEET POTATOES ROTTING IN
STORAGE-UsED AS
FERTILIZERS.

Sweet potato growers and brokers
in Sussex County, Del, have been
having a disastrous season because
the crop of sweets" have not kept
well in storage. Farmers and deal
ers in Seaford, Milford, Laurel and
other places are facing heavy loss as
a result of the rotting of the crop.
Use yield in Sussex County last
fall was very prolific, over million
bushels being stored in and around
Laurel. But for some unknown rea-
son the crop has kept very poorly,
nine-tenths of them rotting in some
of the storage bins. About one
half are fit for shipping.
The yield last autumn was so
bountiful that the prices were ex-
ceedingly low and it was hoped that
the immense quantities placed in
storage would bring a good price.
The rotting of the crop, coming on
top of the low prices in the fall, is a
heavy blow to the farmers and
dealers.

REALLY EXPECTED TOO MUCH
He Could Have His Own Way
When Building House.

Once upon time a Simple Soul
came suddenly into Easy Money.
Now" he said to his wife, "we'll
build that house you and I have
planned so long, and you can bet that
1t will be exactly as we want it to
be-"
He saw an architect and builder.
His Office comrades offered sugges-
tons. His first cousin and a grand
uncle, his brother-in-law and his wife's
sisters husbands aunt, man he met
on street car, friend who dropped
in to congratulate him, the butcher
at the corner and a dealer who was
trying to sell him an automobile-all
gave him advice with unstinted gener-
Osity.
And when the house was built It
had groundwork of Tudor architec-
ture, with Georgian and Colonial min.
gled. touch of Gothic here and Old
Dutch there and great deal of what
has been called early Rutherford b.
Hayes. The architect, the builder, the
Office comrades, that first cousin and
granduncle, together with the brother
in-law and the aunt of the husband
OF his wife's sister-they agreed priv
ately that what the structure especial
ly needed was the specialized skill Of
some one in the business of arson.
AS for the original designs Of the
Simple Soul and his wife, they were
ignored.

money to say what he shall do with
it?-Toledo Blade.

EXPECT DEITY TO COME BACK
portance on the Perpetuation
of the Holy Fire.

Among many of the religious forms
of the Pueblo Indians, perhaps the
most interesting was the perpetuation
of the holy fire, by the side of which
the Aztecs kept continual watch for
the return to earth of Quetzalcoatl-
the god Of Air-who, according to
their tradition, visited the earth and
instructed the inhabitants in agricul-
ture and other useful arts. During
his sojourn he caused the earth to
yield ten-fold productions, without the
necessity of human labor. Every
where corn, fruit and flowers delight
ed the eye; the cotton-plant pro-
duced its wool already dyed by ma
ture with various hues, aromatic odors
pervaded the air, and on all sides
resounded the melodious notes of
singing birds.
Quetzalcoatl embarked in his boat
of rattle skins, on the Gulf of Mex
leo, and as he was seen to steer to
the eastward, his arrival was conse-
quently looked for from that quar-
ter. When the Spaniards arrived
from the east, as they resembled the
god in the color of their skin, they
were at first generally supposed to
be the messengers from, or descend
ants of, the god of the air.

among the many sufferings Of my
stormy life," says Giuseppe Garibaldi,
the military hero of modern Italy, in
his "Recollections," II have not been
without happy moments, and among
them l count that In which, at the
head Of the few men remaining to me
after numerous conflicts, who had
gained the character of bravery, I
first mounted and began my march,
with my wife at my side, in a career
that always had attractions for me,
even greater than that Of the sea. 1t
seemed to me of little Importance that
my entire property was that which l
carried, and that was In the service
Of poor republic, unable to pay any
body. l had saber and a carbine
which l carried on the front of my
saddle. My wife was my treasure
and no less fervent in the cause Of the
people than 1; and she looked upon
battles as an amusement, and the in
conveniences Of life in the field as
a pastime. Then, whatever might hap
pen, was looked upon with smiles,
and the more wild the extensive des-
ert plains appeared, the more beauti-
full and delightful they seemed to our
eyes,"
While he was ar exile from his ma
tive country in 1S49, Garibaldi came
to the United States, and in 1850
worked In candle factory on Staten
island. He died in June, 1882.

The Pneumonia Month.

March is a typical pneumonia
month and usually gives high rate
of mortality for the disease. After
long and hard winter, the system
loses much of it's resistance and peo-
pie grow careless. When every cold,
no matter how slight, is given
prompt and Intelligent attention,
there is much less danger of pneu-
monia. 1t should be borne in mind
that pneumonia is a germ disease
and breeds in the throat. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is an expect
GRANT and cleans out the germ lad
ened mucus and not only cures a
cold but prevents its resulting in
pneumonia, 1t is pleasant to take.

Near the town of Zuni, in New Mex

ORCHARD WEEK.

The other day I walked into
store in our good county and found
the merchant selling apples for sc
each. But regret to state these
apples were not grown in Cecil
County or even the state of Mary
land. This made me feel very bad
because can assure you Cecil Coun-
ty can grow as good and even better
apples than they can grow in any
other county or state if we will
properly fertilize, prune and spray
our orchards.
The week of March 18th will be
known as orchard week in Cecil
county. A very careful program
has been arranged for conducting
pruning and spraying demonstra-
lions in Home and Commercial or
chards both apple and peach.
Mr.. Shaw, Orchard Specialist
from the University of Maryland
Extension Service, will be in the
county this week and will demon
strate in the orchard pruning and
spraying as conducted by the most
successful orchardist, throughout the
state and nation.
Everyone interested in Home Or
chards and Commercial fruit grow
ing is invited to attend these demon
STATIONS. Mr.. Shaw will be glad to
answer any questions and aid in any
way possible to help overcome our
orchard problems.
