IL Was the Snail That Smoke

A Frostburg time-keeper told the
JOURNAL that somebody told him 1.-THE
JOURNAL is slow
Sure.
Isn't "slowness' typical of the town ?
Isn't the slogan of doing things this
way this year because they We're done
this way last year" a "slow proposition
Isn't the expenditure of thousands of
dollars every year upon transient re-
pairs of the streets an eternally "slow"
method of ever reaching permanent
improvement
Yet the JOURNAL has stood against
this policy with all its might.
Many people are thoroughly convinced
that the antlquated policy is bad, yet
they permit it to go on without protest
The JOURNAL cites this as an instance
of ''slow" newspaper that is good

AS we worry along in the fierce game of life
1t is hard to keep up with the pace
With three men on the bases we sometimes
strike out.
And often we get caught at first base
There's spot on the dI mond in front of all
eyes
3 Where ev'ry man must stand soon or late,
And the stunt that means failure or glory
to all
Is to put the ball over the plate
In business life or in society's whirl
In politics, or friendship, or school,
The grand-stand is watching, and the
bleaCherS are full,
And the game must be put up by rule;
It's ''SkiddOo' for the poor pitcher whose
muscle is stale
Whose small curves come too soon or too
If you want any mercy from umpire or
crowd,
You must put the ball over the plate!
How crowded they do sit on the down-and-
out bench
The slow players who failed in the strife,
who sent their opponents to the bases on
balls,
And the captain s retired them for life.
Your eye must be keen and YOUR muscles in
good trim
And your heart must be steeled against
For there's no room for fear in the heart of
the man
Who can put the ball over the plate
No matter, then. how earnest and proud
you may be
How eager and high is your aim.
You must not miss the mark in the battle
of life,
Or there's no place for YOU in the game;
There is no talking back to the umpire in
ScOrn-
There is no use bemoaning your fate
There's no pennant for pkers-it'S all for
the man
Who can put the ball over the plate!
MIDLAND vs.. FROsrBURG
The game at Midland last Saturday

Capt. Mooney Gunnett, away for

RECORD PRICES FOR HOGS
Best Packers Sold at 8 csnts-Rs-
ceipts Small.

New York.-The highest June price
for live hogs since lsss was established
Monday at the Union Stock Yards, when
best porkers sold at the long~pretiicted
figure of $500 per 100 pounds. With
the exception of 1902, this i the high
est price recorded for any month since
the Cudahy corner in pork in 1898, when
live hogs sold at ss.95 per hundred
The prevailing high prices are due to
unusually light receipts of live hogs
this spring at all Western packing cen
ters, the extremely high price OF grain
last year prompting many farmers to
dispose of their stock rather than to pay
exorbitant prices for feedstuff.
Receipts of hogs Monday at the nine
leading markets of the West were %
900 head less than for the correspond
ing day last week, and 800 head less
than for the same day year ago. As
q result of the scarcity of hogs, the price
of provisions is now the highest in
many years.

HOOK WORM CAUSES eNNUI
Epidemic of Laziness Among Sol
diers Accounted For.

New York.-An investigation into an
epidemic of supposed laziness or spring
fever among soldiers at Fort Slocum,
near New Rochelle, disclosed the fact
that 30 per cent. of all men there re-
cruited from South Atlantic states are
suffering from uncinariasis, or hookworm
disease. Thi. is from an official report
Similar conditions, it is suspected, ex-
i-t at the other forts around New York
harbOr. so that in case of the sudden
approach of foreign enemy a consid-
erable part of the army of the East
might 90 into action in a strongly debili-
tsted condition.
Investigations are to be pushed fur
ther. 1t has recently been found that
so per cent. of the people of Porto Rico
are victims of the disease, and that 30
per cent Of deaths in the island are due
to it.

Stirling Says State Won.

According to Attorney General J. B.
Strings Interpretation Of the case, the
dismissal of the proceedings against A.

means that the State loses nothing save
the liquor confiscated, valued at about
$500, and as the State could not do
anything with the liquor except destroy
it, the commonwealth in reality won a
victory on all points.
