Polo around when Babe Ruth made his 66 hoim mn the fans hurled their straw hats into the air. 'Twas at the Polo baseball grounds, : A crowd in line was standing, With ready cash by leaps and bounds a ticket eact; demanding. They filed into the grandstand seats Ana some went to the bieechera, All wild to see the clever feats Done by these clever creatures. Each Bide warmed up to practice all, For two games they were savinr And when the umpire yelled "play nan - They started in to playing. And when Babe Ruth stepped up to Dat The fans began a-shouting And when the pigskin came kerspat Twas then he went to clouting. There was 3 balls, strikes there was 2 1 bat was in the Jilth inning, And when the next the pitches threw, 10 rignt it went a-spinmng. A little spot up Jn the sky, Beyond the rifrht fields catchinv. While Babe was coming in on high rtiiumer nomer ietcning. The crowd rose up all much alive. Of course there was a reason, For this home run made fifty-five For him during the season. Loud there was heard Hurrah Hurray noras tnere was not one spoken, For Babe Ruth had unon that day, His previous record broken. The yells of all those people there, For blocks away were drifting And many a head was getting bare ineir straw hats they were lifting. As louder became their guffaws, Their fan-like iov a-showinir Out in the diamond went their straws And at each other a-throwing. , And on the field the hats lay thick, Thereby the crame delavimr. For ud those hats they had to nick Before they could start playing. Beside to have a little fun, A good time they were choosing. As straw hat season was most done Not much were they a-losmg. O.

The accident occurred about seven o'clock in the morning when a heavv fog made It almost Impossible to see. That both Richsrdion and Devener were not fa tally Injured Is due to the fact that they were driving less than ten miles an hour In low gear, when the col lision occurred.

The force of the collision threw the light roadster backwards ten feet or more and smashed In the front of the car.

FORTY ODD FARMBRH ATTEND GOI'HBR POISONING A meeting was held at the Ladd ft Reed farm last week at which forty odd farmers from different parts of the county were in attendance for the purpose of looking over the gopher poisoning demonstration and experi mental work being conducted by the U. S. Biological Survey. The poison used at this farm is getting a big per centage of gophers. It Is expected to conduct still further tests at Banks in October, and announcements of the bait and kind of poison used win w made after more extensive tests. Those who were In attendance at the meeting were seemingly Impressed with the work being done. Mr. Horn who wss in charge had several run ways excavated for the purpose of showing the extent of the operation of a single gopher, and in order that he might get a better check upon the number of gophers killed. When this work is conducted by the farmer it will not be necessary to make the ex cavations. Should this method of poi soning prove effective In other places of the county, no doubt large areas of land will be poisoned within the next year, as several communities have in dicated that thev will get together on a poisoning campaign when they have a gopher poison tnat will practically insure a large percentage of kills. The difficulty has been to find a poi son that will kill all of the gophers in a given area.
