After going over them all, studying their hitting and fielding ability, their aggressiveness, love of the game and team work here is my selection for the all-star Natioal league team of the past 30 years:
 Manager-Fred Clarke.

 First Base-Jake Daubert.
 Second Base-Napoleon Lajoie.
 Shortstop-Hughey Jennings.
 Third Base-Jimmy Collins.

 Extra Outfielder-Joe Kelley. Extra Infielder-Rogers Hornsby. Catchers-Johnny Kung, Roger Bresnahan, George Gibson.,.e
 Pitchers-Christy Mathewson, Nor decai Brown, Grover Cleveland Alex ander, Deacon Phillippi. Babe Adams.
 The players I have given here were masters of every trick in the game. fair and unfair. They knew how to make them and how to break them up. I don't know of anything that could be put over on these boys.
 I have considered the question of Nght and left handed hitters. l also realize that my club Is short of left handed pitchers, but with that outfit I wouldn't need southpaws. ~
 Jake Daubert, Fred Clarke, Jesse Burkett and Willie Keeler could hit left handed pitching just as well as tainly feel sorry for any pitcher who had to face such a ball club with the lively ball now in use. The hit and run play would be pie for those birds. They would run the bases almost as they pleased.
 Before anybody starts in to criti- else my selection l wish they would sit down and compare the brains of those players with others they have for aggressiveness and desire to win that kept them fighting until the last man was out on the ninth. Every Man A Master.

DEATH OF MISS BERTHE SNOOT

Miss BERTHE Smoot died Thursday in
Winchester Memorial Hospital after an
illness of a complication of diseases
For the past year Miss Shoots health
had been failing, but within the last
three weeks it was decided to take her
to Winchester Memorial Hospital,
possibly for an operation. Upon ex-
animation by Specialists at the Hos
pital it was decided that an operation
would not prolong her life, and all was
done to make her as comfortable as
possible.
She was daughter of the late Jacob
Smoot and was born at Harrisville
forty-seven years ago. For the past
ten years she had made her home in
Woodstock, where she was faithful
worker in the Lutheran Church and
had made many friends by her kind
ness in times of trouble and illness.
Some years ago the prisoners in the
County Jail termed her 1.-THE Prison
Angel"
Surviving are sister and brother,
Mrs. Noah Fisher, of Harrisville and
Perry Smoot.
Funeral services will be held from
Sand Ridge Lutheran Church on Sun
day afternoon at two O'Clock and she
will be laid to rest in the Cemetery
the Church.

FIELD SELECT YOUR SEED CORN

The problem of getting good seed
corn for next years corn crop in Shen-
andoah County will be serious one.
The unfavorable season, and the prev
alence of Corn Root Rot Disease in
most of the corn fields this year make
the condition very serious.
Mr.. James Godkin, Plant Pathologist
for the Extension Division, who has
spent moth in Illinois. this summer
making special study of this disease
says, that the only way to combat this
disease is to field select and test your
seed corn.
This diesease is carried over in fhe
seed, and if the corn is selected in the
field all the visible symptoms can be
eliminated, and if the corn is given a
termination test before seeding the
ears that carry the disease but show
no visible symptoms of the disease in
the field can also be eliminated.
Although the selecting of seed corr
in the field may call for some extra
labor, believe that the farmers prac'
ticing this method of seed selection
will be amply repaid in next years
corn crop.
