A player almost can tell from the way the pat ter and the base runner act what they are trying to do. or going to try to do. if h. only keeps his eyes open. never try to catch the signs, but can tell by the actions and the situation what is coming off Then l want second baseman alongside of me who under stands me and whom I understand, so we can work together There are some men who prevent each other from doing their best work

Tn the middle of the night of March 30th I woke up with a burning itch in my two hands and I felt as If I could
 pull them apart. In the morning the itching had gone to my chest and dur ing that day it spread all over my body. was red and raw from the top of my head to the soles of my feet and l was in continual agony from the itching. I could neither lie down nor sit up. happened to see about Cuti- cura Remedies and I thought would give them trial. took a good bath with the Cuticura Soap and used the Cuticura Ointment I put it on from my head down to my feet and then went to bed. On the first of April I felt like a new man. The itching was almost gone. I continued with the Cuticura Soap and Cuitcura Ointment and during that day the itching con- pletely left me.

Secret of Cobb's Success.

Bob Gilks, who is one of the best scouts in the business, and one of the best judges of ball players, says that half of the success of Ty Cobb is due to his nerve and confidence in him. self. "Gilks says: When Cobb gets on base. he thinks to himself: Every. body is watching me now and expect. ing me to do something I'll just show them how much can do." Then he cuts loose and some startling piece of base running is the result.

the acreage of potatoes increased II
per cent.
""In spite of the fact that during
these twenty years millions of acres
of the public domain were taken up
as homesteadS, the cultivated acreage
of all of the farm lands of the country
increased during these twenty years
only 45 per cent, and the average yield
per acre Of most of the cultivated
land decreased, so that Germany to-
day produces substantially twice as
much wheat to the acre as we do and
Belgium two and a half times as
much.
''What are we going to do about it?
Nothing radical, for there is no pana-
cea surely for this condition which
confronts us. But that there are
things we may do and ought to do
seems to be apparent. The public
lands of the country are largely taken
up. ''The lure Of the land, " about
which something interesting, but
rather fanciful, was written in a re-
cent magazine, can no longer be salts
fled in this country out of the public
domain. The tide of immigration Is
turning backward. Lands today are
cheaper, relatively cheaper according
to their actual value, in New York
than they are in Illinois, Iowa, and
Nebraska. The old land of the East
ern States can and must be made more
productive. Just the other day, as
sat with Secretary Wilson in his office
talking over this subject, he told me
of an instance IN his office the state
of New York within miles of Ithaca,
the seat of the great agricultural in
stitution of New York, where land
had been recently sold for 81 an acre.
He told me of an actual case there OF

THE INCREASED
COST OF LIVING
By Representative Douglas, of Ohio.

when the population of the United
States was so, 1s9, 2O9 to 1900 when the
number was found to be 76, 303, 387,
the population of the country had in
creased 26, la, 178, or just about 50
per cent. During that time according
to the same authority the neat cattle
of the country, other than dairy COWS,
had increased from 81 232, Alb in 1880
to 80, 286, 195 in 1900, an incr ease of 8, =
OBS, 7S2, or just about 291a per cent,
thus failing to keep pace with the
population by 221a Ter cent.
"The milch COWS Of the country,
ultimately used, of course, for food,
increased from II, OPT, 900 in 1850 to
16, 292, 360 in 1900, an increase of A.,
265, ,36G, or 30 per cent, II pei cent
less than the increase in population.
''The hogs in 1880 numbered 40, 772, =
$40. and in 1900 they we're enumerated
at 60, 868, 041, an increase of 13. .095, 81,
or an increase of 26 per cent, just one
half of the increase in population.
The sheep in 1880 numbered AZ, 1872,
274, and in 1900 had actually fallen
to 80, 852, 967, an actual decrease of
over 5 per cent, or in actual numbers
2, 339, 1O7 less than twenty years before.
"These figures, as reliable probably
as any that are obtainable, certainly
indicate a condition in our meat supply
which, if it has continued to the pres
ent time, is of startling significance.
But what was tue of the meat supply
of the country was substantially true
of all the rest of the farm products of
the country, with perhaps two or three
exceptions. Notably among these eX-
ceptions are rice, comparatively little
being cultivated in 1880. and barley,
but little used as food the production
of which increased in the twenty year
period under consideration by about
172 per cent.
"During these twenty years the
acreage of corn increased but 33l9 per

Among. the notable utterances in
Congress at the present session, are
those of Representative Douglas, Of
Ohio, on ''The Increased Cost of Liv-
ing" A subject very close to the
farmers of the nation. Among the
statements made many should be re-
membered He said: cit is not in
any sense as an aIarmist that | call
attention to fact known more or less
accurately to every Member of the
House, indeed to every head of every
family throughout the land, that the
prices of food products, especially of
the products derived from the farms of
the country, have risen and are
rising out Of all proportion to any in
crease in wages or salaries, and to an
extent that is bringing actual suffer
ing to many millions Of our people.
''Great crops usually bring low
prices, but today in spite Of the most
abundant crops perhaps the country
has ever known, the prices of corn,
wheat, and other cereals remain ex-
ceedingly high. The explanation lies
very largely in the fact that our food
supply, raised upon our farms, has
not kept pace, relatively, with our in
crease in population.
"What is true OF all farm products
is especially true of the great meat
staples of the country. The produc-
tion of cattle, hogs, and sheep is in
nowise keeping pace with the increase
in our population. Cattle of the best
grade today are selling in the Chicago
market at 1925 per hundred poun Is
on the hoof, price unknown within
the memory OF most of us here and
hogs are selling at $3.50 1t is GER
tainiy in no selfish spirit that call
attention to these prices, for if it can
be said to have any business since
became Member of Congress, it is
that of feeder of cattle and hogs.
But when buyers come to the farm
and offer the present prices for fatten-
ed cattle and hogs, l confess that like
the boy In the picture, | am 'asham-
ed to take the money So is this
information common to the people
and so much has been said, and we'll
said, about it in the magazines,
notably recent article in Worlds
Work, by Mr.. j. j. Hill, concerning
the falling production of wheat, that
figures to substantiate it are hardly
necessary. At the same time some of
them relating to our meat supply are
interesting and striking, and with the
favor of the House, | want to call at
tention very briefly and very general
1y to a few of them.
"Between the census years of 1880,

ment to try an experiment with his
land. The man confessed that he had
had no new seed except such as was
raised upon the land itself within his
recollection. He was supplied with
seed potatoes at the Governments ex-
pense, and thereby induced to culti-
vate few acres of potatoes strictly
according to methods indicated to
him by the government employee.
''The result was, as Secretary Wilson
assured me to be within his personal
knowledge, that, without the use OF
any fertilizer whatever and simply by
improved seed and methods of cultiva
ton, the same land that had produced
but 20 bushels to the acre produced
more than 200 bushels to the acre OF
excellent potatoes. Whether there be
the slightest exaggeration in this story
or-not it is certainly indicative of what
may be done throughout the country
and of what | know is being done to
some extent right in my own COM
munity at home.
This whole question resolves itself
into the problem of keeping enterpris
ing, intelligent, progressive men and
women in the country and on the
farms Yet when be plead here for
great and widespIe cad extension of the
of the work of that branch of the Ag
ricultural Department known as the
"Ottice of Roads," when we plead for
a great multiplication Of experiment
stations, and for more general activity
along all the lines pursued in the Ag-
ricultural Department which have
proven locally so etticacious, we are
met by the insistence that the revenues
of the Government have been other
wise expended and do not permit in
creased appl opriations for these pur-
poses.
"Last year Congress appropriated to
the army and to the navy and to mill
tary pensions total of 1885, 600, 600,
or 6715 per cent of our total revenue,
and we appropriated to our great de-
partment of Agriculture S13, 900, 600,
or about per cent of our revenues
/ am not criticising the wisdom of
any item of these appropriations, GER
tainly not that of pensions to old
soldiers and sailors, but do submit
that the daily bread and meat of the
men and women who toll, of the very
soldiers and soldiers widows and
children, dependent upon their little
pensions, are at least as important as
