game. . . . It was a tough night all round the clock for the Wonders. Not only was Jovial John off his game but the Gas House crew seemed to take particular delight in opening up the off gas jet when the wind was in the right direction. Rahn was not too hot and he sat out a game but the rest of the gang were going great guns, In fact tney rolled 10 games out of 15 well over the 200 mark. Jerry Luey tried desperâ€" ately to at least get an even break for his wonders as his one game of 313 testifies but to no avail. . . .

But the biggest heartbreaker of all happened on Monday night when Ald. John Hewitt, without a doubt the smurtest bowler in the Fruit Belt, had to sit out the third game against the Gas House on account of low score. ‘This is the first time in two complete seasons that the jolly cheese peddler has had to sit out a over 200 and that‘s the story. . . . .

Oliver Shaw, The Gandy Dancer, and his Black Felines wound up a glorious season on Tuesday night by dropping three points to Captain Kidd Kanmacher and his piratical pinâ€" pounders. At that, the pigâ€"tail purveyor was only beaten 23 points on the three games. . . . . Ron Laskey had a most inglorious ending to a glorious season, He bowled the first in a trance, with a score of 87 and could only corral 181 in the third. . . . .

No black headlines, no sensations do its modest columns fill, but it pulses human heart throbs as no daily ever will. When the strain of day is over with its worries and its care and you loll in relaxation in your wellâ€" worn chair with your feet in roomy slippers and your trusty pipe alight as the cheery glow of wood fire puts the evening‘s chill to flight; from its depths bright flaming arâ€" rows scintillate in twilight‘s gloom and you feel a deep contentment in the atmosphere of home, where you find a welcome haven from vissiâ€" tudes of life and forget its tribulaâ€" tions and its troubles and its strife. You luxuriate in comfort and relax in indolence as you scan the daily headlines that record the day‘s events, matters of supreme imporâ€" tance; but you lay the journal down as your glance observes the weekly from the old home town. Just an unpretentious . weekly. Nothing big and nothing grand. Hometown news told in a manner| . common people understand. No fine diction garbs its stories, no sonorous narrative. No salaaming to the mighty. It gets down to where folks live. Uncontrolled by clique or party and its simple policy â€"needs no board of strategy. It contains no fancy writing and no bunk or ballyhoo, but relates in simple language what the common people do; telling how the crops are faring, what the farmers paid for cream, and the spots the fish are biting by the old dam on the stream, with perhaps a comment column and some boilerâ€"plate reâ€" | views. But the copy that‘s imporâ€" | tant is the hometown local news. ‘Though its makeup may lack polish and its style be far from smart it preâ€"empts a spot unchalâ€" langed in the hometown md-fo heart. There one reads of social|. doings and of ‘actions neighborly; how, when a neighbor meets misâ€" fortune friends will gather at a "bee," doing work that none may suffer; sickness comes or loved ones die of the acts of buman kindness untold wealth could never buy. Journalists in famous papers narrate tales of wars and kings, but the little country weekly plays humanity‘s heartâ€"strings.
