WEATHER MAN
HALTS CONTEST
Aquehongas or Vikings Fail
to Score in Two and a
Half Innings

Two and a half innings of the
Tottenville Aquehonga-Viking con-
test was played on the Tottenville
field yesterday afternoon when the
downpour came which resulted in
the calling off of the contest. The
Vikings, hailing from Port Rich
mond, will be booked for a later
date on the Aquehonga diamond.
Southpaw Artie Romer, newly ap-
pointed field manager of the Aque-
honga nine, was on the hill for his
team yesterday and Ches Nesley was
on the receiving end. One hit was
collected from the delivery of Ro-
n,er in the Vikings three turns at
bat. The veteran southpaw showed
old time form as far as the contest
had progressed.
Price and Smith were in the points
for the Vikings, and the Aquehonga
batters had collected one hit in their
two turns at bat against the Port
Richmond hurler. The large crowd
of fans out to welcome .Romer back
to the Aquehonga roster, were sat
isied that they were in for a pitch
ing duel when the weather man
spoiled the party.
1t has been announced that there
will be a twilight game at Aque-
honga field on Wednesday night, but
the attraction had not been an
nounced. Manager Romer of the
Aquehongas has decided to put off
the first game of the Amboy series
so as to be given an opportunity to
see the real strength of his aggrega-
ton.

1T Is TIME To MILK.

ton OF the embarrassing financial
problems of the day.

Those that see this and act now and
take advantage OF this opporrunity.
will have good cause to rejoice, and
their children after them. Farm op-
Grating costs will come down and
prices for farm products will go up.
Margins of profit will come again to
the farming industry and profits wiz
be good.
Farming will be the best, safest
and most satisfactory business in
America within the next 10 years. II
is therefore the best business for q
Young man to LOOK forward to. 1t l.
hard to see this now, just as We are
going through the adjustment period.
but it is the thing We must see and
plan our future accordingly. The
farmers who hold On to their land
will be glad when the better day
comes and which is sure to come
soon.
WORST Is OVER
1T has been hard for the past
four years, but the worst is now over
and better times are al our thresh-
hold, in the happy and eontented days
to come they will o. repaid, and
every hardship endured now will be
adequately compensated then.
"A little steady land business all
OF the time is good for every com
munity. 1t stimulates interest in
local investments and it stabilizes
Hand values more than anything
else. All farmers are therefore inter
ested in this as well as business men
and bankers The bankers were
wrong in supporting the boom il
1913. They are wrong now in WITH
drawing all support from this class
of business. They should now come
forward and support the real sound
land purchases in their community.
Il is to their interest TO do so, and
it is good business TO do so. Ny
messag e, therefore, to the people of
the Northwest is, that now is the
time to buy a farm, If you want q
farm home to own and enjoy in the
future" 3d1
