BosroN,s PRcPosEp Rle sHow.

Boston is claiming 1920 as the date
of her tercentennial worlds exposition
in eommemoration of the leanding of
the Pilgrims. She promises that the
memorial exposition shall be commen-
surate with the Importance of the
event.
While we have been plagued with
'expositions" commemorative of one
thing and another until the American
people are sick of shows" and tired of
racing back and forth across the con-
tinent at the call of the exposition
promoter, this promised celebration of
the real founding of New England and
the beginning of a great nation is so
plainly a proposal to perform a duty
that it is likely to appeal to the pub
lie with extreme favor. And when it is
considered that New England has new
er held or had a worlds fair and that
vantage of cheap rates to visit the
east whether attracted primarily by
the exposition of not the plan seems
to have the essentials of success and
a big crowd.
No place else but Boston might the
anniversary of the landing of the pill
grims be fifty celebrated. Boston and
the Cape Cod coast reeks of the pill
grilns and the puritans as it used II
reek of Goldfish. Their names. Their
customs and their GOODNESS are still
part of the New England nature. The
history of the puritan branch of the
nation centers there and that branch
may claim most of the men and prin-
ciples which have left abiding and in
eradicable marks upon the constitution
and the character of the nation.

crowd will come and after all, the

7Hs LURE OF THE GRANDsTAND.

Baseball begins in the west today.
This announcement means more than
most oy us realize. 1t means an af-
tanoon outdoors for lot of people who
DO not and will not get out for any
other purpose: 1t is a popularity of the
baseball devotee that he will leave his
business and dodge a client to go to
even a poor game when nothing else
except dynamite or a fire would move
Kim ouT of his place of business. But
he goes to a game on a back street

one anctner without guilt and with
added respect in the grandstand. Fun
ny about people isn't it?
SLY as you keep it baseball is a
mighty Sood game to play or look at.
No other game quite equals it in these
respects. Golf is a good game to play
but it isptt a grandstand game. Watch

1t out of the public's mind, now it has

Hunting Is His One Hobby.

William Northrup Mcmillan, who is
to entertain President Roosevelt and
his son at Nairobi, British East Africa,
in April, has engaged in more big
game shooting in the last four years
than falls to most hunters in a life
time. Standing over six feet in height
and Of Herculean strength, he is a man
of dauntless courage and a deadly
shot. He shuns publicity and. cares
little for society, entertaining on rare
occasions. His wife is as daring where
sport is concerned as her husband. She
has made many journeys with her own
caravan and was the first white wom-
an to cross Abyssinia from west to
east. Mrs. Mcmillan had an audience
with Negus Menelik and was received
with courtesy during her travels, even
from chiefs Of tribes whom the negus
regarded as hostile.

New York, April 28.-Mrs. Hetty
Green abolished the tipping evil at the
Hotel st. Regis as far as she was con-
cerned.
When she was ready to leave the ho-
tel in which she has lived in seclusion
during the last two weeks, she shooed
away delegation after delegation of
alert bellboys and, finally, after she had
stepped on the toes of several of them
she succeeded in reaching the office of
the hotel.
Her long black cape, which reached
to her heels, half concealed, half dis
closed the outlines of an old-fashioned
handbag, which was almost big enough
to hold a safe. Three red paper roses
bobbed vivaciously on Mrs. Green's
little black bonnet as she paid her

Mrs. Green, eager to assist her in leav-

spartans Always clean Shaver.

Sir Richard Burtons association of
clean shaving with etreminacy and
luxury would not have stood against
historical appeal to ancient Greece.
II the Athenians and most of the 9TH
ers cherished the mustache as man
ly ornament, the Spartans. the" ideal
of frugal manliness, took another line.
Their ephors, it is recorded by Plu-
tarch, made proclamation when en-
tering upon Office ordering the people
to shave their mustaches and obey the
laws. The purpose of this command
is a subject Of conjecture. Alexander
the Great abolished the boards of his
Macedonian troops because they Of
fered a convenient handle to an enemy
in hand-to-hand battle; but Spartan
mustache could hardly have done
that.

the bellboys holding lodge of sor-

spend a couple of weeks with her
daughter Mrs. Matthew wilks.
She had been informed that if she
wished to retain her apartment in the
st. Regis she would be charged at the
rate of SIS a day during her absence.
Mrs. Green thereupon told the manager
that she would give UP the room rather
than pay for something she did not
get.
Accordingly, she ordered her one

bag, which constitute her entire lug
gage, removed from the st. Regis to
the home of her daughter.

Poultry Manure.


OF all the manure produced on the
farm that from the poultry has the
greatest value. Air dry hen manure
has a value of about So per ton as
compared with $3.50 per ton for ma

should be.

ton reports as follows:
"As is we'll known, when the poultry

such a loss is to prevent the Develop

more or less fertilizing value in them
selves may be added to the droppings
from time to time with good effect,
both in stopping waste and in making
the atmosphere of the hen house more

1.-The best materials for this purpose
are gypsum or land paster, acid phos-
phate, and kainit, a cheap potash salt.
Each of these chemicals has the pow
err of forming new compounds with

from the original combination. Wood

"using their results as a basis for

This will be quite an ad- vantage oxer the Academy boys in the early games.

YALE FOOTBALL.
Captain Coy Not in Early Games
 Candidates Get Together Today.

Yales football candidates assemble today for the first time this season on the New Haven gridiron
 Howard Jones, Yales' old end, and head coach at Syracuse last year, will have full charge of the team at the start as head coach. Captain Ted Coy is still in the hospital in New York and is not expected much before the playing season opens.
 As soon as Captain Coy returns he will probably run the team from the bench, as far as campaigning of games is concerned. Coy will not figure in the opening games, and it is thought that he will probably be able to get into the West Point battle, Oct. Is. Jack Field, who started the Princeton game last fall at fullback, will prob ably get plenty of work in his place in the early games of the season.
 Yale veteran stars are likely to fig ure in the early games of the season less than usual this fall. Kilpatrick and Naedele, the wonderful ends who were crippled by broken knees last fall, will be handled lightly. Yale's eleven will probably take the gridiron in the early games in about the following playing order:
 Left end, Logan; left tackle, Parker: left guard. Andrus; center, Loree or Cooney; right guard, Goebel right quarterback. Vaughn and Merritt; halgbacks, Evans, Kistler and Holt, fullback, field and Messinger
 Fitzpatrick and Naedele end, Hobbs, tackle; Johnson and Corey, quarter backs; Philbin, Daly and Coy are vet erans who may not be seen extensively in the early games.
 Walter Camp, YaFles' athletic ad- wiser has been spending a week in Manchester, Vt, on the golf linqs, but he is expected to return to New Ha- ven early the coming week.
