troit land a few pennants and then
they gave him his release.
He showed up at Bennett park at the
beginning OF this season. To be more
exact, he showed up long before that.
The first they saw OF him was in IN
dlanapolts on the spring trip he was
denied admission 70 the exhibition
games there, and he followed the team

Ambulance TO Bennett Park
RastUs was dubbed no 'CcoUnt

doc II such a thing ever existed He
was told TO stay away, but ne didn't
be hung around on the outside o. the
park ana ne sold sport extras after
every game. They could not deny
him the privilege Of the sidewalk and
the street, so 'RastUs stayed there.
Every time the Tigers lost 'Rastus
wore smile as broad as he used 20
wear WIN The team won
Another Mascot.
In the fall OF 1905, during the world
series with the Cubs, 'RastUs became
the Cubs mascot, and he firmly be-
lieves today that It was his presence
on the Cubs bench that beat the tt
gers. Detroit chased 'Ras-' from the
bench during the latter part Of the
season OF 1s1S because the team was
losing. After he left, Detroit won the
penuant and that settled Erasmus

Towns Must Help.

In the South's preparation to NEE
the worlds increasing demand for it's
greatest crop, the towns and cities
would have to bear a share, said Or.
Knapp. In order to care for the
labor the growth of the industry
would demand in the summer, anu
which would be practically idle in
the winter months. industries would
have to be established that would
care for this idle army.
I'm some sections some OF those
industries will be carried on only in
the winter" he said. Thus the farm
er will be obliged to find more con-
tinuous labor for his employees. Hith.
ertO he has expected that the tenant
farmer or the farm laborer would
earn all that was necessary during
the summer, but we are coming into
more strenuous life and labor must
be provided for the winter"
DR.. Knapp suggested that the d.
versification of crops and the house.
hold garden would offer partial So
luton of the problem, while clearing
and fencing also should mark the
winter months.
