That lead of ten or twelve games
isn't killing handicap is shown by
the performances of the Philadelphia
Athletics recently. Less than six
weeks after the season had opened the
Detrnits we're so far ahead of the
worlds champions that tie wise ones
said that the Mackits had potered out
that they we're hopelessly lost so far
as hOnors this season we're concerned.
But glance at the percentage table
of the American League today shows
that the dope was all wrong, and that
the good material on the Athletic team
was certain to assert itself in due sea-
son and assume the rank to which it's
ability was entitled. Now it is an
even money proposition that the Mack
men will win the pennant IN the
American League again, and there is
every reason to believe that they will
grow better as the season prog !;
and if that is true of the Athletics,
why should it not apply to the Reds?
Griffith's men haven't been doing any
worse than did the worlds champions
earlier in the season. The material is
there for a squirt la the Athletics.
And stranger things have happened.

var, the last and greatest of the old

last public appearance in the spangles

of memories of the old days of pugi-

willing to settle the question of su-

Pigs During Winter.

Have you ever observed how subject
young pigs are to cold? How they shi-
yer and seek shelter in fence corners
against the cold winds Of winter? And
do you know that the food that ought
to go to make pigs grow. M lst in such
cases be used to produce bodily heat for
the little fellows? No farmer who is en-
gagged in hog raising can afford to leave
itters Of young pigs exposed to the rig
ors Of our wintry days, particularly
when it rains and the wind blows chill
from the north.
It is easy and costs little to provide
clean shelter for the hogs. II the hog
house has no floor, raise the dirt floor
by filing in, and supply clean bedding.
Good shelter and clean bedding pay;
they pay by the saving on the feed bill;.
they save by the quicker growth in
weight of the animals.

Coolest Days


On Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday we experienced the
coolest weather of the season.
The cold wave struck here during
Monday night, when the wind
turned to the North, after the
heavy rain which fell during the
early part of the night.
At s o'clock Tuesday morning
the mercury had dropped to 29
degrees, or 8 degrees below the
freezing point. The cold was in
tense, but no damage is feared.
Records reveal the fact that the
coldest day experienced here in
thirty seven years was on Feb
ruary 13, 1899, when the thermo-
meter dropped down to Z degrees
above zero. We were visited by
cold waves during other years,
as follows: January 6, 1879,
twenty degrees; January 6, 1884,
twenty-five degrees; January 9,
1886, fifteen degrees; January 26,
1906, twenty-five degrees, and
January Z. 1910, twenty-seven
degrees.

Weddings are affairs of matri-
mony and too often, also, "a

A lie travels by aeroplane,
while truth trudges along with
tagging step, and yet it finally
arrives.
Whenever we find ourselves
unable to express our thoughts
we can usually send them by
freight.
Wiseacres advise us not to 90
to extremes; but how can we
comb our hair or put on our shoes
in the morning without going to
extremes.

Two Daring Aviators
Meet Tragic Death.

Blood pays the price of progress,
whether in the conquest of the
air or any other of the symbols
of advancement. On the last day
Of the old year, Moisant and Hox-
sey, whose fame had been won
in the saIne twelve months, both
toppled to a swift death. The
abruptness of both accidents
cause timid commentators to
predict that the evolution of avia-
ton must now undergo a check.
Back of these casualties is the
moral of the immaturity of the
aeroplane and our ignorance of
many of the laws of the atmos-
phere.
