A gardener who is careful TO
keep weeds away from his vegeta-

trouble with insects and disease as
careless gardener. Weeds give
these destructive agents a home

support greatly increases their
chances to become established for

Do not work among your plants

also help to spread the disease.

The
What Not Shelf
BY Louise Hoffecker Burslem

There are many persons about
this town who are not doing one
blessed thing to help the war eff
fort-but there are also few who
are quietly giving to the utmost of
their time and ability-without a
fancy uniform, without fanfare.
One of these is Miss Annie
Moore, Delaware House, Smyrna.
Miss Moore likes to knit and is &C.
complished in this art-so she vol
unteered her services to the Red
Cross. Since Pearl Harbor, she has
knit an average of one sweater
every two weeks. Since the begin
ming of last year, she has knit So
garments, incluring sweaters, nit
tens, scarfs. etc., for the men in the
armed forces.
If more men and women here
would give service according to
their ability, this old town would be
better place in which to live. It
is too bad that there is so much un-
concealed complacency around here.

The U. S. o. Recreation Center

ical this past week that one young

came to the farm to fetch little
milk.
1t is a good thing milk deliveries
started yesterday. People were be-
ginning to Turk in alleys with pint
bottles of milk on their hips.

c. Virgil Gordon, organist at the
M. E. Church, was in Philadelphia,
and at his request, Mrs. w. o. Hof-
fecker played the organ in his alb
sence. 1t transpires since the above
paragraph was penned that Olivet
Presbyterian Church, where he per-
formed Sunday, has engaged him
for their organist, and his relations
to the church here has ceased. This
was to be expected, but nevertheless
regretted. We have recently refer
I'd to his ability as a musician, and
the brilliant success that most
probably awaits him.

school house lawn, until the num-
Der had reached two or three hun
dred. 1t was the event of the con-
test in baseball, which had been
gossiped between the married men
of South and Mt. Vernon Streets,
for nearly week. Everyone was
in readiness, when umpire William
A. Flellmling called the game. The
South Street nine took the field.
Harry Beck, with bat in hand, stood
in the DO. The pitcher raised his
arm, and with mighty force, sent
the revolving sphere toward home
plate. Beck, with herculean
strength, sent the ball flying to
right field, where John P. Hudson,
with the agility of a squirrel, got
the ball and drove it to first. Sip
pie braced himself like stone wall.
Beck got his first.
John Cosgriff stood in the box
next. Ball after ball passed the
home plate, when to all appearance
es he seemed to be striking fair
blows. After few vain attempts,
he looked at the endo f his bat, and
discovered to his surprise that he
had tile in the end of it, for in
variably the ball went through. He
struck out.
/ David Stewart looked for all the
world like a phenomenal player,
putting on such bold front that
he actually scared the members of
the South Street nine. He didn't
amount to much at the bat, for he
added a great big naught to his
record. He did excel in one thing,
however, and that was his superb
coaching. In the field he surely
surprised himself when he caught
Postles out on fly. This feature
will immortalize his name in the
baseball world.
Prof. Yocum was an ideal player,
for he could always be depended
upon for home run. Joe HUM
was a prodigy. He stood up at the
home plate, perfect gladiator,
shaving the ball so clean that the
pitcher was afraid to touch it. He
invariably made fouls, while his
predecessor, Tom Davis, got his
base on balls.
Merritt Fowler and Lewis Price
made a creditable showing, at least
they made the pretention, although
neither made run during the
whole game. Price excelled himself
in climbing a fence, for the minute
the ball was knocked over, he was
there, as nimble and active as a cat.
When the next gladiator stepped
into the box, he received a round
of applause. This was none other
than John P. Hudson. At this in
stance, Constable Weldon presented
the athletes with paddle" on be-
half of the ladies of Mt. Vernon
Street.
Henry Anthony was the all-round
man of his South Street Team. He
was a sure home-runner.
Frank Postles could cover more
space of ground in a given time
than two ordinary men.
Doc Sipple, the "stone wall man"
put up a good game at the bat,
which helped counterfeit his errors
on first. He was sure to strike the
ball, and although his corporation
prevented him from cutting the
wind, he got there just the same.
Scout, Griffin, Voshell and Jones,
by their superior playing made
nearly all the runs for South
Street.
Ed Walls, the feet-footed cloth
Ter, was considered the peer of his
colleagues. He was always at the
right place at the right time.
South Street was the winner of
the laurels. The Mt. Vernon men
are so aroused that they intend to
play until they defeat them. The
proceeds were SIG, which were
handed to the treasurer of the
Society.

The fruit is juicy and has rich
er flavor than the Junberry. Chill
dren and birds, who have found the
shad bush when its fruit is just
ripe, never forget to return to it.
The Indians told the colonists
about this fruit and also about the
shad. The shrub is found along
sWamps and stream borders ranging
from New Brunswick to Florida and
Louisiana and west to Minnesota
and Missouri. Everywhere it is
known as the shad bush.
In the genus Amelanchier will be
found slender attractive trees. They
are often removed from their native
habitat and replanted on home
grounds where there is spring or
stream. The leaves are simple and
! deciduous. They grow alternate
| along the branch. The flowers are
very numerous in racemes, and the
small berrylike fruit has four to
10 cells. Birds eat the delicious
jacket clothing the seeds and drop
the seed children as they travel to
other places. In this way, the shad
bush has transportation. for the
seeds have no other way to find

Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Where was Winsome Bluebird's S
new home? Peter Rabbit had turned
that question over and over in his
mind until his head ached Not
that it was any of Peters business.
It wasn't OF course not. But you
know how it is with Peter-he is
a lot more interested in the affairs
Of other people than in his own.
Some people are just that way.
He had taken it for granted that
Winsome would build a nest in the
same old hollow in the Old orchard
that he had used the year before
and the year before that. So. dur
ing the time he had been so inter-
ested in the affairs of Mr.. and Mrs.
Quack, he had given little thought
to Winsome Bluebird.
II can run up and call on him
any time" thought Peter. But When
at last he took it into his head early
one morning to make that long
delayed call, just imagine how sur
prised he was not to find Winsome
IN the old apple tree in which was
the hole that used to be his home.
He must be off after his break
fast, and probably Mrs. Winsome
is inside that hole" thought Peter.
"I'll just sit down and wait a while ;"
So he sat down where he could
watch the entrance to Winsome's
old home and waited. He waited
and waited. but still there was no
sign of Winsome Bluebrd.
That's queer" thought Peter. Il
