Why is It that the farmers CT

sheep? Is it that they do not
love lazy money, or is it shift

of mine who kept last year 3

and raised - lambs: and it is
safe to say he got $50 for those
lambs and then did not get their
value. as those lam s were good
enough to bring $ cents on the
St. Louis market and would
weigh 10 pounds in June.
If there was enough OF such
lambs, they would bring more,
from the fact they could be got
together and shipped ia car lots;

Discouraging the Unborn

In the case of merchantable commod. ities, scarcity is the cause of costlness, but in the case of babies it is costliness that produces scarcity. So long as babies are hevy expense parents will be unwilling, because they cannot afford to have mare htan one or two. There IS correspondence between race su- icide and the price of perambulators and babaies' clothes. Just as one fine American Beauty rose is produced at the cost of many other potential roses, nipped in the bud, so one little Lord Fauntelroy, in his $3 hat and $l5 suit of clothes, represents Moloch s sacri- flee. His costly clothes are bought with the patrimony of unborn brothers and sisters.-San Francisco Bulletin.

Tho SeesaW of Living

The first thought of almost every wage-earner overtaken by this perplex- ity, is that somehow his income must be increased to meet the enhanced price ofof living. But after employees have been painfully convinced, and after sue cessive ranks of workers, in all callings, have been granted an increase of pay computed to offset the general increased level in the prices of the necessaries of life, it is just as like as not that the old problem still remains to be faced. For when all employers have to pay high wages, they necessarily in most cases, advance the price of product or services,- so that the increased wage buys no more than the old one.-St Paul Pionerr Press.

PHILADELPHIA, June 29.-The Phil
adelphfa American League club, after
conferences with the police department,
in which 1T was determined that the
two should cooperate in G. mpaign
against gambling at the baseball parks,
made a raid at Columbia park today
and captured four notorious offenders.
Theyewere locked up at city hall and
will be given a hearing tomorrow morn
ing, when President Shibe of the Ath-

bling on baseball games in this city
has been growing in recent seasons,
but, although the home clubs have had
special policemen stationed in the
grandstand, where the gamblers con-
gregate and bet openly, no arrests have
been made.
Disguised at the actions of the spe-
cial policemen the Philadelphia Amer
lean officials consulted with Director
of Public Safety Clay and it was
planned to make a gigantic raid this
afternoon, and it was expected to land
at least half a hundred men in the
police net. Fifty policemen, in citizen
clothes, were scattered among the
gamblers, but this was their off day.
Just before the Observation-Disclosures
game started few men began to bet
and they were arrested. 1t afterward
turned out that an employe of the club
had tipped off the gamblers. President
Shibe announced tonight that the club
would prosecute to the limit every man
caught betting at the park.

RAIN AGAIN INTERFERE.
DRIVING CLUB
HOLDS MATINEE

Amateur lovers of light harness
events had an enjoyable afternoon at
Agricultural park yesterday, when the
regular June matinee of the Los An
geles Driving club was run off. Sec
retary Stewart had prepared a card
which contained more than usual merit
and, aside from one or two little in
cidents which occurred, it was run off
without a hitch.
Something that rarely happens at the
clubs events occurred when George T.
Becker, owner of Ramona, was fined
by the judges gecause he refused to
start his mare in the race scheduled
against Zomboyette, and also for OBJ
jecting to the classification of that
animal. In each instance a So fine was
plastered on by the occupants of the
stand, but the difficulty resulted in
calling off the second number on the
program, which was expected to result
in a more than usually exciting drive.
One of the closest finishes ever seen
at a local matinee happened in the
final heat of the sixth race, when
Glenita, Billy M. and Bernie Wilkes
finished so close together that none
but the judges could separate them
The horses thundered past the stand
in bunch, and the occupants of the
stand were for a long time uncertain
as to the result.
The races were run as follows:
