Each team made one score in the first in- ■ ning and thereafter neither side , was able to score until the , seventh when the Grays made 12 runs. In this inning it was' simply a matter of each man stepping up and hitting the ball for as many bases as he could get After the balloon ascension ■ Milford settled down and scored six times themselves but Syra-1 cuse had too great a lead and I they were not able to overcome , it.

PICNIC TIME ■ i Here’s picnic season again, right around the corner. It suggests old puns about ants in the j blackberry pie, and sand in the sugar, and all that, but we are n ot welcoming the season with any such ideas. We’re glad we’re back to picnjc time and family reunion weather because it will give the citizens who have been more or less housed up for several months a chance to get out and shake hands and renew acquaintance, with each other. It means chautauquas and camp meetings for many communities, and they mean not only entertainment but educational features that are ; too good to be overlooked. It gives whole families opportunity to get together and talk over . “the good old days” while nothing brings the farmer and town man into closer touch than a big outdoor meeting of some kind, I where they can sit beneath the trees, whittle, and talk to their heart’s content. They get each • other’s ideas of business condii tfons; they discuss agriculture and offer each other helpful ' suggestions, and in this way each i learns much that is going to 1 prove valuable later on. It gives the young people a 1 chance too, to get their lungs ' full of good, pure, fresh air and 'to show off Their- new clothes, and to form friendships which will last throughout all the years I to come. In fact everybody benei fits from out-door gatherings, ■no matter when or where they j are held, And we can only hope 1 that Syracuse will see many pic- : nics and family reunions this season, and that each will be marked by recordbreakihg at--1 tendance. - o . 1 Base ball ga.im*, July I, North , M mchest?r Fair (’rounds.

Not long ago' Wabash and surrounding counties were flooded with literature of the King Hatchery at Cleveland, Ohio. Day old chicks at sll to sls a hundred were for sale, and the company requested that to avoid the rush and insure prompt delivery, raisers inclose money with their first letter. An incomplete check by . the postal department is reported to have shown that orders received by the company netted the promoters $30,000. ———o — •—I— Band Concert all da.> aad night, July 4, North Mauches*, r Fair Grounds.

SAY IT WITH SMILES There is no roam in the world for discouragement. When you permit yourself to feel discouraged you admit defeat. Admitting it and inviting it are one and the same. Going about like a human envelope stuffed full of gloom not only is-disastrous to your own chance of success, but exercises an evil influence on othe'fipa Cheerfulness, like the measles, is catching. I Seeing you in a cheerful mood will make others unfold their own brand of smiles, smoothe them carefully out, and pin them in the place where they will do the most good. Say it with smiles and you’ll find folks tumbling over themselves to become life members of your personally conducted cheer-up club. No trouble is big enough to down .you. You can only down yourself. Keep your head up v stick your harfds deep down into your pockets, whistle a cheery tune, and keep going. If you can’t , whistle, sing. o OLDEST RAILROAD I . ~ , According to a bulletin issued from the general offices of the company the Baltimore and Ohio i railroad is America’s first railroad and has served the public for ninety-five, years. ,3 Daniel Willard; president of the company, says: • “No matter how hard we try; we cannot make the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad the greatest I railroad in the world, or the l straightest or the richest railI road. But we can, if we will try hard enough, create for it the reputation of being the best railroad in the world in point of I service. I cannot do it alone. You cannot do it alone. But all of us working together can do it. I earnestly desire your cooperation in this way.” o If you have anything that is worth selling it is also worth advertising. If you depend upon telling your acquaintances they may not want it. But if you tell all of the families of this community through an adlet in this paper there is always someone who does want. A quick sale at I a cost of 25 to 50 cents is better than no sale at no cost. i- . I j Another drawback about being a bachelor is he doesn’t have a wife he can blame things on.
