some 80 feet from the highway, and

tha oar through tbe opening in the
fence and let the car drop into the
quarry. —tt turned over several times
and landed on its four wheels, apparently none the worse for its drop.

J
I Poultry  Demonstration.
Every flock of poultry in Montgomery county has hens in it that are not
laying. Many bens never lay enough'
eggs to pay for their, feed. By selling the unprofitable hens and keeping
only the best producers, poultry profits can be increased greatly. This
will reduce -the number of hens that
must be fed and cared for and at the
same time keep the number of eggs
at a. maximum.
Proper culling of any flock of hens
will keep the egg production to 60
percent or batter during the summer
month*. Why. feed a loafer. With,
the price of grain as high as tt is, no
one can afford to feed hens that are
not producing. Learn how to cull your
flock and make it a real money producer. Don't feed leoafing hens nigh
priced grain.
Another series of culling demonstrations aire being arranged for by
County Agent A. K. Rothenberger.
They wil be held Aug. 3, 4, 5 and
6. As time will only permit of holding 18 demonstrations it is not possible to reach every section of the
county.

Once  again Souderton  was  able  to
bang the Indian sign on Ambler,, ther-
by defeating tho locals for the second
time  this  season.     .The  contest  was
played  last  Saturday on  tho Ambler
grounds in the presence of almost 2000
wildly excited fans and after the.dust
iof  the   battle   had  cleared   away   the
score  stood  thrtjje to  one  in  favor  of
up-country aggregation.      Tehre is ho
use of denying the fact about Souderton's  ubility  to hoodoo  our  ball   club
every timeKthe two clubs meet.     Why
this is a met it is a difficult questlojp
to solve,    in Saturday's game- it wa
painfully  evident  that 0he .slayers
the local team were laboring under
nervous   strain,  and   because   of   t
condition   they   were   unable   to   pi]

field  game.      The honor  was carrtei
off by Koehler, the best short step i:
the  league.    Wodock's  fielding and
neat double play by Martin, unassisted

acre of corn and other foodstuffs,
which would net be ready for bar-
vesting until Ootober. He said that

Protest Sustained.
The protest of the Lansdale club
of the game played at Ambler July
5th, when the former club was defeated by Ambler, has been allowed, and
and the protesting* committee,. com-
of President Harold Pike, Connie Mack
manager of the Athletic baseball olub,
and William Diehle, has directed that
game foe played over. The protest
was based on the play thnt came up
in the third i""<"g when Sharkey, for
Ambler, stole home, tbe catcher of
Lansdale claiming interference on the
part of Wodock, who was at th* bat
et the time. Those who were at the
meeting on Friday evening at Mr.
Mack's office alleged that Mr. Diehl,
Wbo ls a former resident of Lansdale,
did most of the questioning and considerable time was taken In!
cross-questioning, it is said. There
were two in favor of the protest aad
one against it. The latter vote was
cast hy President Pike, who was present wfith M|anager Amey) and the
president of the Ambler olub, A. W.
Tetter. When the opinion of William!
Evans the greatest umpire in the game
today, was sought on the question,
Mr. Evans said, "Taking into consideration all that, might come up In a play
of this kind the judgment of tha umpire ls tbe only thing to rely upon."
Thnt is, Mr. Evans said, tbe umpire
calls the play as he sees it and if it
is a matter of judgment, then tbe decision rests with the umpire, and there
can-be no ground* tar a protest." The
umpire in charge of tha play at Ambler
on July Sth, stated plainly In his letter
to the committee that there was no
interference.
