W. FREUND, WEST McHENRY, ILLINOIS. ShCM Our Treat! Locate Show UpiWell In Openiu* Game of SWMD and Give Pro in of Potting Up Some Exeollcat Exhibitions. The baseball season was opened ID McHenry last Sunday afternoon with a decisive victory for the locals, the op­ posing team, the Harvard White Sox, proving a very timid foe. While the exhibition given was far from what could be called a first-class contest, the local fans were given a fair demonstration of the capabilities of the home players. The outfield of the Bines worked in splendid style, the five chances being sr _ . oieuicaoie manner The infield, however, did not work as smoothly, bnt with a little more prac tice and real experience shonld ronnd op into good form. For the opening contest, it, can truth- folly be said that the batting of the Bines was a trifle short from marvelous, seventeen large, juicy hits being amass ed off the shoots and benders disheo up by the trio of visiting twirlers, and only five of the local batsmen going to their death via air punching. Inasmuch as the contest was a long one, coupled with the fact that space will not permit, we will this week omit » detailed account of the proceedings, bnt below give the tabulated score which tells the story in its entirety: M.-HENKY BLUS8.

Dean's catch of Bending's high fly in^ the eighth ronnd is worthy of epecia mention. Bending pitched a good game and as nsnal had a bit of fun with the oppos­ ing batsmen. The Hebron Tigers who will appear here next Sunday shut out the Aldens last Sunday by a score of 0 to 0. Rossmaik's running catch of Hubble's long fly in the ninth was a dandy. By the way, that man RoBsman is a handy man and if we are not badly mistaken the fans will hear from him before the season closes. HEBRON NEXT SUNDAY. The Hebron Tigers will be here next Sunday to battle for honors with the Bines. The Hebroris, we have been reliably informed, are stronger this year than ever before, and will, no doubt, give a good account of them- selyes. These two teams have always been little enemies on the baseball diamond, the contests between them having been most viciously fought in the past. The attendance next Sunday mnst be a paying one or it will be necessary to schedule games away from home in the future. The big show opens at 2:45. Usual admission. Jos. W.

" TTIll'lBllimmn Wjiiii Land and Corn Will be High. In a decade the population of the cities has increased over 60 per cent, while that of the rural sections has increased only 14 per cent, This means that every man and woman who leaves the farm and goes to the city becomes a consumer instead of a producer, and this increases the opportunities for the farmer. This means better prices for the same crops. The farmer above all other men who work for a living fixes his own hours of labor and of leisure. Don't get fright­ ened because land is high. We have found all the corn land there is in the whole round earth, and there is not enough of it to go around. It will never be worth any less money than it is to­ day, but in my judgment it will increase in value far beyond the highest con­ ception of most of us. The population is sure to increase; we are constantly finding new uses for corn, and the de­ mand for it will be increased. Yon will never see any more cheap corn in my judgment.--JUDGE J. OTIS HUM­ PHREY, of Springfield. Valued Same as Qold. B. G.

The mining process of working the land for the purpose of extracting what­ ever of value there may be in it, without reference to its fntnre condition, has re­ sulted disastrously to every country on the globe. On the proper education of the farm boy depends our ability to check the devastation that has been going on so long. The boy who knows most about the farm, the soil, its re­ quirements and treatment, and how to grow maximum crops this year, next year and fifty years from now, without depreciation or exhaustion of the soil will be the beet farmer. He must have koowl* edge that can be brought home and ap* plied directly to the problems of the farm, and if one has not such knowl­ edge he is not a farmer bnt a common every day bungler who is just making a pretense of farming. Why were not the elements ot such an edu­ cation taught in the district school long ago?--A. P. GROUT, Winchester, IIL It Reached the Spot, Mr. E. Humphrey, Who owns a iarge general store at Omega, O., and is pres­ ident of the Adams County Telephone Co., as well as of the Home Telephone Co.,of Pike County,O., says of Dr.King's New Discovery: "It saved my life once. At least I think it did. It seemed to reach the spot--the sieat of my cough,--when everything else failed."

It is simple, cheap and durable, and we believe no farmer can afford to do with out one for every gate on his farm.

For years he had played his pranks in front of the team, often escaping being canght by a scratch, bnt this time he made a miscalculation. "Lew" refuses to be comforted, and daily sheds tears over his remains. The McHenry Brick company is now burning a small kiln of one hundred and fifty thousand.
