pionship prize at the end of the
season. So far, not player has
shown any weakness but rather a
better display of ability as the
season moves on. Their record

make this splendid showing. We
hope that the manager and his
sterling tie m will continue to
hold the same winning gait and
that better days for victory are
just ahead.

Speaking of baseball no team
no matter how good could come
here and defeat the nine that re-
presented Townsend in 1896. That
year % teams came here to try
the local champions but all of
them went down to a crushing de-
feat. The last team to come here
that year was a nine from New

med proper, the score being IL
to 1, and as they had no name
the local club called them "name-
less", and they bore that name
for years afterward.
Elmer K. Smith of Linwood,
Pa. was a visitor here over Sum

Well, the earliest tomato is still
uppermost in the public mind. So
far, no one has come forward
with the first one of the season,
but many OF our residents are ex-
pecting the first one to grow to-
matoes will step f fort h at any
time now, and show that he or
she has the first ripe tomato in
the vicinity. Last year three came
to town and each carried ripe
tomato. 1t was an even break and
no one could claim the champion
ship, so it was disheartening to
the two who had worked so hard
and earnestly to produce the first
tomato. Better luck, next time,

Some are asking what has be-
come of the old umbrella members
who used to visit the variou S

standing by to watch him. Then
he would give each child there
penny and tell them to Keep it
for a raining day. He further told
them that the rainy day he meant
was the one that found people
hard up, and really no money for
anything, real close to starvation.
The children liked him and often
followed him from place to place
in the various towns.

Puppy love is a poignantly de-
lightful affliction that the old dog
secretly wishes he weren't i'm
mune to.
A considerable number of peo-
pie live without working, but pro-

Propaganda is becoming so art
fully disguised that it passes as
food for thought.

Another way to avoid ulcers
and in growing disposition, is to
refrain from worrying about the
world any more than it worries
about you.
The reason the average person
is far more discourteous under a
steering wheel than anywhere
else is that power-even little
of the mechanical type, goes to
his head.
