For years there has been laid a cer tain amount of walk each year and if we were to make a survey you would not find as many marks made in the sidewalks all over the village as you will find in the walk now being being laid. -Just why this particular .piece of sidewalk should be subjected to such treatment i.s beyond us.

A good example made of one or two would probably wake the rest of them up to what they can do and cannot do and get away with it. Jours for putting a stop to this nuisance. BAT I-I'A YE K KIRBY 10; FORESTRY 0 Forestry went down to defeat on Friday evening last in the first game of tlio playoffs when Kirby under the stellar pitching of Cooper handed thorn a ten to nothing shutout. The score by no means indicates the game, as Kirby could do nothing wrong and got all the breaks and For estry were running- in hard luck. Cooper, pitching for Kirby, struck out three batters a ml only allowed seven hits, while Neal for Forestry struck out one. batter and allowed twelve hits. Cooper kept his hits well scattered, allowing two hits in the third, two in the fourth, one hit in the fifth, sixth and. seventh frame which shows why Kirby received a shutout. Only eight Forestry players -reached first base, one on a walk. Kirby Kirby had seven men stranded on bases and had one walk, both pitchers- Neal and Cooper had excellent control throughout the game and it was one worth seeing 1 . Kirby was blanked in the first inning inning but three runs crossed the plate in the second when Cochrane walked. Cooper and Davey both hit two-lbag- gers, also Harris for three runs. In the third Kirby was blanked, also in the fourth and fifth, but secured four runs in the sixth when Cooper singled, singled, also Daveÿ, Lowery safe on error, error, then Harris drove opt a two bagger, bagger, and MbCutchean singled.

Keane hit a three DOG DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN Clarke Township Council Strikes Rate For Township On Tuesday Afternoon CATTLE INCLUDED With the visit to Orono of a fortune fortune teller last week who was patronized patronized by a number -of our married women, women, a few widows and just a sprinkling sprinkling of young girls and businessmen. There is talk of reviving the Orono Liars Club or organizing a Husband's Husband's Protective Association that would protect those married men that have wives that insist that they carry water, split wood, cut the grass, etc. The answer to that kind of wife is, put her in jail and have a big blonde on the job next morning to take her place. Our citizen has suggested suggested that an urgent call be sent to Father Divine to'come to Orono at once to hold a revival so as to give some of our harassed husbands a glimpse of his "Promised Land" with chicken in every frying pan. Fortune tollers, for fifty cents, review review the past, present and future. We know all about the present and have to accejpt the future whether it's hot or cold, But what irks- us husbands are those delving wives that keep digging digging into a wife loving husband's past. Even though Lot's wife was turned into a pillar of salt for looking looking back. You just can't tell 'em. Most husbands don't mind not being being able to smoke in the house, or having to eat all their meals in the kitchen, and minding the children while the wife goes to church, but the past is a little more than a modern modern Job can stand. Fortune tellers may give great comfort to unmarried folk but it looks like love, in reverse for married men. But these are dog days and anything anything eart happen. . *. ■ - Miss Elsie Bowe won the drinks from Mr... Thos. Obwan at the ball game on Tuesday evening.
