Baseball Practice

Due to very mild winter the base
ball candidates of Rising Sun got of
to an early start In their practice be-
fore the baseball season gets under
way. The activity period from $500
to $3.50 is still devoted to the differ
ent weekly clubs as the spring prac-
tice is not official, however. The
practice is now being held only at
noon but the candidates hope to soon
be "at it" in earnest. The snowfall
Of March 10 has prevented practice,
but hope is present that it will soon
leave, and in turn, be replaced by
balls, bats, and gloves.
The success of our ball team de-
ponds, to a large extent, on it's early
practice. If it is well conditioned
its chances are much greater than II
it has been forced to contend against
weather and lack Of practice, and we
may expect that our team will at
least give showing Of it's true value.

THE FIRST EASTER LILY

The original Easter lily was devel-
oped in Philadelphia only half CEN
fury ago, according to G. B. Stichter,
field inspector of the bureau OF plant
industry, Pennsylvania department of
agriculture.
In 1879, woman returning from
Bermuda brought with her two bulbs
of lily which she found growing
wild. These bulbs were given to
Mary, florist who had greenhouses
in Gray's lane, below Woodland ave-
nue., Philadelphia. The florist plant
ed the bulbs, and for some time they
attracted no attention.
A Dutch lily had been used at Eas-
ter time, but this was unsatisfactory
because it was impossible to control
accurately its time of blooming.
Since Easter comes at varying times,
it was impossible to force" this lily
in order to have it bloom at speci-
fed time. Therefore, the Dutch
lilies were not popular as Easter
flowers.
The florist propagated the lily from
Bermuda until in three years she had
about 100 bulbs. 1t was then that
a Philadelphia florist purchased the
bulbs and experimental with fore
ing" the lily, in order to have it
bloom when wanted This florist
was successful in his experiments,
and the lilum harrisii resulted.
Since it was possible to cultivate this
lily so that it would be in flower ex-
actly at Easter time, it became the
Easter flower
The growing of Easter lilies is to-
day a giant industry, but strangely
enough the lily used now-the lilum
gigantum-was propagated and i'm
proved in Japan from the lily first
developed in Philadelphia. 1t was
taken to Japan, where conditions for
it's cultivation were ideal, developed,
and brought back to America, The
present-day lily has larger flower,
with more sturdy foliage than the
first Bermuda lily,

USED GAR SELLING SEASON

Chevrolet dealers throughout the
United States are going into their
major selling season In the best posi-
ton to used cars that they have en-
joyed In many months, dgures re-
leased by the company showed this
week.
A marked reduction has been made
In the used car stocks on hand, as of
the last reporting period, the figures
revealed. This condition has been
attributed to the functioning OF
Chevrolet's national used car depart
ment which has been in operation for
over year.
At the same time, dealers are look
ing forward to an even greater re-
duction In uesd car stocks through
the operation of the new division Of
the sales department which will de-
vote itself exclusively to used car
sales under the leadership of w. G..
Lewellen and T. H. Heating, new as
sistant general sales managers in
charge of used cars.
The current reduction of the num-
Der of used cars now In dealers
hands was accomplished despite the
heavy volume of new car sales in
1886, officials pointed out, and In the
face of the unusually high volume Of
sales that followed the announcement
of the 1887 models last November.
A reduction of several thousand In
used car stocks was accomplished
over January of last year, the figures
showed, and an additional reduction
of 10000 was accomplished over
February, 1896.
"Our dealers are in an enviable
position to move new cars this
spring." Mr.. Heating declared, "and
our used car organization has been
set up in such way as to give them
every possible aid in maintaining
that position through the balance Of
the years"

BROWNIE-Aged 30

"Wen done, Thou good and Faithful
Servant"
With tears, l mourn the passing OF
a faithful friend.
Handsome was she, and gay, when
first
She softly touched my cheek and
whispered welcome.
These twenty years, and more
We've grown, together, gray, in mu-
tual trust.
With great eyes bright, inquisitive,
she nosed
The bundles that were babes: and
later, held
Her iron-shod hoof when they
Played round her stalky legs in con-
fidence.
Through heat, through cold, in sun
and storm,
On picnics- in privation we've
gone together.
Of one thing I feel sure,
If, when my time to go draws nigh,
If have been as faithful to my trust
AS my old horse,
l need not fear.

PRESENTING MISS TYsON--sTATE
w. G. T. U. PRESIDENT

The following article is reprinted
from the Union Signal of February
q, 1897:
Miss Bertha M. Tyson, who was
made president of the Maryland w.
C.T.U. at the state convention, was
born and educated in that state In
Cecil county, near the historic section
known as West Nottingham, which
was settled by William Penn. Her
ancestors on both sides of the family
were of the Quaker faith, and being
such had great interest in the tenn
peracne question, an interest which
ter. for she has been member of the
W.C.T.U. for twenty years, and was
member of the Y.P.B. for ten years
before that.
For some years Miss Tyson was
Y.P.B. president in Rising Sun, and
later was elected president of the
Cecil County W.C.T.U., serving with
ability and success in that capacity
for twenty years. For the past two
years she served as state W.CT.U.
corresponding secretary.
AS an unconscious preparation for
her new work, doubtless, Miss Tyson
has always been wide-awake to bet
ter her own equipment for life. AZ
ter several years spent in teaching in
public and in private schools, she
took a secretarial course in a bust
ness college and for a number Of
years was active in the business
world of Baltimore.
Early in life Bertha Tyson Joined
the West Nottingham Presbyterian
Church where she has taught in the
Sunday School, served on many
church committees, and held Office In
the missionary society. For 1--WE

THE WINDS OF "sIssAL"- (Cecil)

Up from the South at break of day
The mild winds blow from Chesa-
peake Bay,
Soft and wet as baby's kiss
With a sudden whoop and whistle
and hiss,
They blow DER the mountains cold
and bleak,
With a swoop as sharp as an eagles
beak.
When the fogs you've absorbed have
frozen dry,
And you think you'll live--unless
you die,
The wind veers round on different
tack,
And the frigid air comes flowing
back;
Blowing back with the added chill
Of the deep seas damp to the cold of
the hill.
Sometimes they change so fast they
meet,
And then we've snow, or rain, or
sleet
Pouncing upon us like missile,
Blown by the winds of dear old
"SissaP'!
