Nav
my son, do you wish to know
something?"
Yes, NAV. wanna know why is
it when a baseball player hits a bal!
il isn't a ball. and when he tries TO
hit it and doesn't, it's a strike?"
Il have never really given the sub
iect any cogitation, Edwin"
II don't want any cogitation, NAV.
i want the answer"
State the question again, my son
| may be able to enlighten you"
why is II when a baseball player
hits a ball IL isn't ball. and when
he tries TO hit II and doesn't, It's
strike, and when he does strike the
ball II isn't a striker"
81 am afraid | do not quite grasp
the exact nature OF the problem, ow,
ing TO its complexity, Edwin. VIII
you state il again.?
Look here, NAV, why is 1t that,
when a ball player hits ball II Ism
ball and when he tries to nit IL
and doesn't it's a strike, and when ne
strikes IL IL isn't strike, and some
times it's a strike when he doesn I
try to hit it, and again sometimes
when he doesn't try to hit 1t he does
hit it and then II isn't always hit
and not always a strike, and when ne
strikes 1t sometimes it's a strike ana
isn't a hit and it's always Daii
IL he couldn't hit II. and yet II ne
tries to hit it, II isn't a balP?'
THAT will do, Edwin, that will do.
I will write to Cynthia Grey to give
me the answer through the paper as
soon as | finish reading this article
entitled Baseball, the Most Simple OF
Sports"
But, maw!"
We'll, Edwin"
What do you suppose is the an
swer?"
"Oh, presume II is merely mat
ter of difference in designation"
Huh! | thought maybe 1t was
somehow a matter OF difference in
umpires."
Upon which Edwin hied out to play
ball down the street where the noise
would not annoy his mother. only the
neighbors.

VIVA, Is and what Might Be.

To the Editor of The Times
The government is conducting ex-
detrimental farms in various places
over the nation-and states are doing
like service.
These farms are doing work ana
providing knowledge about agricui-
ture that the individual farmers
would not and could not do.
II is showing the farmers how 10
raise more crops and more OF them
than they would have learned In 9
lifetime.
It has doubled the yield OF many
products.
Now, II the government can do this,
could II not employ all who choose
TO enlist in developing public farIns
on its vast domain?
Men don't know how to work 10
advantage.
The government employs men who
do. and their direction would enabit
millions to leave the stifled cities and
their poverty and woe, and get ou'
