sTRUNK ATHLETICS FIND,
HAS HAD SHORT CAREER
Got Into Baseball Through Failure In
School Studies and Made
Good at Once.

WASHINGTON, May 17.-Four
years ago the youngster Strunk. play
Ing the outfield for the Athletics. was
not even an amateur ball player. He
had played some football and took part
In other sports while In school, but
for some reason or other had never
paid any attention to baseball.
Now he Is considered one OF the
most promising youngsters that ever
broke into the majors. He does not
know whole lot about the game and
pulls on bad plays once in a while,
but he Is as fast as fash, is strong
and has a powerful whip.
Four years ago Strunk failed In his
high school studies and was looking
for Job. He happened to stroll into
the Athletic park during practice. He
Immediately formed a liking for base
ball and he just about lived around
the ball park for a month or two.
Practicing with the Athletics he
showed natural ability, and some OF
the players began to pay a little at.
tentfon 10 him. Once In a while they
handed him a pointer or two.
A Philadelphia cigar dealer. who
knew Strunk well. got interested in
him and asked Lave Cross, the old
Athletic infelder, TO give the kid a
chance on his Shamokin, Pa. club
Lave did not think the boy worth a
trial. but finally agreed to take him to
Shamokin anyhow.
Strunk showed so much speed and
hit so well that Cross gave him a lob
ON his club. He Just about set the
league on FIRE. batting way over the
800 mark. The youngster was born
with baseball ability, but he never
showed 1t. He had the stun and ali
he needed was chance TO bring II
out
In the spring OF 1909 Connie Mack
got the youngster. looked him over
and sent him to Milwaukee In the
American association. keeping a strins
on him. Strunk played good ball for
the Brewers and was recalled. This
season Mack has been playing him In
the outfield frequently In preference
to Murphy and Heitmuller.

That Fashion Plate won the
Metropolitan handicap Is due
more or less to accident. The
day before the race the colt be-

and advised H. X. Knapp. the

Knapp considered the matter,
but the richness Of the stake
tempted him to keep the colt

recovered and won in impress

Trainer Karrick advised his
friends that he did not think
the horse had a chance. The

Knapp for only $500. He is the

Washington, June 24.-At last the
cry of the housewife has been heard
The government has come to her re-
lief and has taken steps to see that
the prices of groceries shall be lowered
There has been much talk about the
higher cost of living and one has
appreciated 1t more than the women
who have noticed the tightening OF
their pocketbooks and of their market
basket the same time.
1t is all very wen Yor the men that
the government should pursue the To-
bacco Trust, the Standard Oil, The
Plate Glass, the PLUMBERS and all the
other trusts but these things interest
the women but little when they see
the prices of particularly every thing
they want on their breakfast and din
ner tables steadily climbing higher
and getting out of reach.

An annual "eport on wholesale
prices just published by the Depart
ment of CLiInerce and Labor, shows
that the Wholesale prices In 1909 as
measured by the 257 commodities ad-
vanced 3 per cent on the wholesale
prices of 1908, but with this advance
they were still 23 per cent below the
average of 1907, the year of highest
prices in the period of 1890 to 1909. Yet
the highest record for a single month
in 20 years was made last March.
Wholesale prices in 1909 We're 1i,5
per cent higher than In 1900; Al per
cent higher than in 1897, the year OF
the lowest prices in the period from
1890 to 1909; II per cent higher than
in 1890; and 2G.5 per cent higher than
the average price for the ten yeara
1890 to 1900.
The highest point reached in 1907
was q general decline until August,
1898. Beginning with September, 1908,
there was a monthly increase without

face of his policy the $3.50 for
the balance Of the 26 years.
If death occur at the end of the
first year the deduction would be
$465, and the balance, 1855, be
paid to the beneficiary. The
1865 deducted would be placed

Funds Absolutely Safe
No state in the union has more
rigid insurance statutes than has
Iowa.
Her insurance laws, under
which the YOemen is Incorporate
ed, provide that reserve fund Sc
curitieS must be deposited with
the Auditor of State. Also that
all our Mortgage Loans and
Bonds must be approved by the
State Auditor before the loan is
legally made from the reserve
fund.
This new law, enacted in 1907,
gives additional security to the
funds Of the YOemen, and assur-
IS our policy holders that our
sacred reserve fund shall always
be kept intact to be used for the
purpose for which it was created.
This makes YOemanry popular
wherever it is introduced. In
Iowa, where our society is best
known, more than 10000 people
carry protection in this Society.

THE Y0EMEN.

The Brotherhood of American
YOemen issues a combined life
and accident certificate to men
and women alike, making it pos
sible for a family to join the
same lodge, attend all its meeting
and equally participate in all ben
efits of the society.
1t is purely representative IN
its government. The society
holds its charter and is organ
lied under the laws Of Iowa
whose insurance statutes are rec
ognized as being the best laws IN
existence for hte protection OF
policy holders.
The society has a reserve fund
which may be drawn upon to pay
death losses in excess of SIX for
each thousand benefit members
in good standing in any one
year, thus guaranteeing a low
cost to members.
It issues a splendid, newSy,
monthly magazine, which goes to
each member free, and in which
all official transactions of SUI
preme officers are given, and mat
ters of interest are printed.
1t levieS twelve assessments
each year, and issues certificates
fir $500, $1,000, $4,000 and for
$4,000.
Here Is Our Plan.
Two men, 43 years old, each
secure a $4,000 policy. Their an
nual rate is $3.50 per year. That
rate is fixed on the basis Of each
one living 26 years, because that
is their expectation Of life. On
the average all mn 43 years old
will live 26 years longer. So we
rely on receiving $3.50 from
each of these gentlemen for rs
years. We must have this sum
for that time or we must have a
higher rate. A YOeman policy
with a man 43 years old is an az
reement STIMULATING for said
amount for said time, no matter
whether the policy holder lives
the time out or not.
Should one of these men die
soon after receiving his $4,000 pol
