GONVICK WILL HAVE ~ STRONG BASEBALL ' TEAM IN THE FIELD " "Work on Jefferson Highway % Stretches Is Being Started For several years Gonvick has -maintained a baseball team and a .comparatively good one. This year -will see no exception to the rule, ex- .cept that the 1920 team will be the :strongest aggregation that ever rep- resented the little Soo city. And the “beat’part of it 'all s that the clib will ‘becdp' \posed of home talent with the “hossihle exception of one man. ‘“Since the removal of “Billy” ‘Wiench from the village the pitc..- -ing department has been in a bad way and all attempts at developing .a local twister and still keep the line- up intact have proved futile. How- -ever, efforts are now being made to secure a capable hurler and this hole in the line-up will be plugged before -the 'season is far advanced. Organization of the team was per- -fected at a recent meeting at which W. W. Jones was elected manager. Members of the team chose Newell -Johnson us captain. Mr. Johnson is a ‘basket and baseball man of well “known ability and -is certain to make .2 " splendid field . captain. He has “had his men out to practice this week and hopes to have them in con- «dition shortly. The season will officially open in Gonvick on Sunday, May 23rd, ‘and -it will be “some” opening according ~to present plans. ‘McIntosh will op- - -pose the home team with play to be- 3 gin at 3:30 o'lock. The Gonvick «Community band, numbering more sthan fifty pieces is co-operating with the baseball officials to make the opening a real affair and have select- ‘ed the above date for their first pub- “lic appearance. The organization 1 YES—FEED THE FISHWORMS! The Richer the Garden the More Earthworms There Will Be, and the More Earthworms the More Humus—and the More Humus the More Food. Feed the Fishworms and They Will Feed You while one worm alone may not do| M " much in one year, a million worms in a hundred years will accomplish a great deal. You will readily see that this It is always a pleasure for you to meet a well dressed man or woman. This is a nage of neatness an dorder, and the shabby person feels ill at ease and out of place grinding up of the leaves in the bod- ies of the worms makes them more useful in furnishing food to rocts of plants. The tiny root hairs can penetrate all through the fine parti- cles. and absorb moisture and food. But the grinding up is also helpful in another way. The soil is full of mlnutle germs called bacteria, which are always at work producing food for the plant growth. These bacteria BRI can work much better in this fl;nely NG YOUR SUIT To Us Now ground leafy material than in coarse leaves. So the worms are ct great assistance in making the soil richer in chemicals for growth. Even the holes that the worms make in the soil are helpful. They permit air to penetrate and rain to run in, thus furnishing two of the most necessary things to keep the soil in action.: On this account alone it is desirable to have earth worms in the garden. - . Humus is called the Food Produc- er. ‘When you feed fallen leaves to the fish worms they become producers of humus and enrich the soil by so doing. They help to make the soil better, but they must have plant ma- ‘| terials to do it with. In general the richer your garden the more earth worms there will be. And the more earthworms the more humus and the more humus the more .food, and focd is what every soldier of the School arden Army is after. So it all comes down to this: If you feed the fishworms the fishworms will feed you. A small sum invested with us will effectually take the shab- biness out of that suit or gown and make you feel “yourself.” Consult your FEELINGS and your INTERFSTS. They both urge you to come to us.
