Old Time Farmers Show Revolu-
ton OF Farm Machinery.
Veteran Swings scythe at Ninety and
Explains How He Harvested
Grain Seventy-Five Years
AGO at Dekalb.

Chicago.-From the shadows OF the
past came reapers of 30 and 70 years
ago to the Henry Whitmore farm the
other day, near DeKaib. and in the
role OF harvesters pitted themselves
against the marvellous machinery OF
modern times
More than 1000, many Of whom came
In automobiles, watched the men har-
vesting grain In as many ways as have
been contrived since agricultural pur-
suits have been followed on the Ameri-
can continent. There was the old
fashioned cradle, the sickle ana
scythe, the early-day reaper and the
modern binder. 1t was a panoramic
history of one Of the most important
phases Of the industrial life OF America.

the fncongruity or the picture pre-
| scented.

the cheering spectators. Times have

a modern binding machine cutting o

grain and tying 1t In bundles.

corner, "but II could live 20 years

Among the reapers were c. w. ant

"As to its nutritive qualities. my ex-

Grape-Nuts is superior to a pound Of
meat for breakfast, which is an impor.

CHANGING JACK MskEHRoN
 10 PACING GAIT:
Fast Stallion is to Bs shiftsd over for
 This SeAsos1.

The Cleveland trainer, Bert Shank, who trains the Thistle Doune farm horses for General Chisholm of the Forest City, has decided to let the fast stallion. Jack MeKerron, 2.07 1-4, try the pacing gait the coming season. The handsome brown stallion was early used in the matinees but was staked and raced through the grand circuit during the season of 1909 with consid
 erable success by Shank. He was one of the early season favorites for the M. and M. at Detroit that year, but di. , not show up well in that event, Whici- was won by Margin, 2.05 3-4. He won the following week at North Randell, and but for an ai1ing leg, which caused him to break under pressure, he would have taken a much faster record than he has at present. He was racing against such trOtters as Margin and Penisa Maid, 2.04 1-4, and when dle stayed trotting it kept them real busy taking his measure. The pacing gait is easier on dicky-legged horse than the trot, and the shift worked wonders in the case of the little black stallion, The Abbe, 2.04, who went through the big ring undefeated in the pacing stakes last season. The latter had been of no account as a trotter since he was three year old, but the change in gait and Pop Geers' teaming proved a winning combination and the black fellow lost but one heat the entire sea- son, from Terre Haute to Lexington. appearing to be better than at any time when the season closed The ex- pertinent with Jack McKarron will be watched with interest.

BIG MONEY MADE
 IN WINNING BASEBALL.
Most Major League Owners Getting
 Rich Fast.

Owners of sixteen major league base ball clubs are now down to real busi- ness. These sixteen club owners rep resent large investments in real estate and baseball plants, and they control the services of the best players in the profession. They are the governors or the national game, inasmueh as they elect the members of the national com- mission, Johnson, Lynch and Herr man. and also pay handsome salaries to Johnson and Lynch as rival league presidents.
 It is almost impossible for outside capitalists to break into this charmed circle as purchasers of clubs unless losing propositions are suddenly thrown upon the market. as in the eases of the St. Louis Browns and the Boston Nationals, both tailenders last season. Even then big money must be paid for a majority of the stock. The control of the Boston Nationals was recently secured by William Hepburn Russell and others for a trif1e more than $106,006. But the clubs property is still mortgaged for $250.00d and the
 present weak condition of the team
 does not indicate a profitable season. President R. l.. Hedges of the St. Louis Browns almost sold the bulk of the
 stock and the big arena in the Mound
 City last December as syndicate agreed to pay s535,90e for the Hedges
 shares.
 It is estimated that the franchise
 held by President John T. Brush, own
 CT of thu New York Giants, could not
 be purchased for less than S1,000,000. The club is said to have made more
 than half that amount in the last five
 years, yet in 1895 Andrew Freedman bought 51 per cent. of the stock for 5000, when interest in the game in the metropolis was at a low ebb.
 President Farrell, who controls the HiSh1anders. will have a new stadium
 $500, 900, including title to the proper ty If the players were for sale you couldn't buy Chase, Ford, Sweeney, Daniels, Vaughn and Knight, named for the sake of argument, for a lump sum of $50,000. In fact, Mir. Farrell says he wouldn't dispose of his Amer ican league team for any price that
 might be offered.
 President Ebbets refused $200, ,000 for the Brooklyn club more than g. year ago. C. w Murphy bought a control ing interest In the Chicago Cubs for $11O, 900 six years ago and has cleaned up half million in profits. Charles A. Comiskey, owner of the Chicago White Sox, admits that he has made more than $700.00O since joining the American league, ten years ago, and last season llo opened a ball park that involved an outlay of more than S400 .0OO The worlds champion Attn letics made $200.000 for Benjamin F, Shibe, the millionaire baseball nanu- facturer, last year, and played at homo

TRAP SHOOTING IN
 HALF GALE OF WIND
Harry w. kahIer Broke 173 Out of POO Targets, Winning Championship.

New York. March 23.-In freezing weather with half a gale blowing from the northwest across the traps. Harry W. Kahler, formerly of Daven- port Ia., but now of Philadelphia, won the national amateur trap shoot ing championship at clay birds from a field of 120 shooters at Travers island today.
 Kahler, who is 20 years old, shot like a veteran and broke 173 out of 200 targets, thrown from expert traps at 16 yards rise. By doing so he won the diamond medal and the championship title which had been held for two years past by his club mate, G. $. McCarty of the Highland Gun club, of Philadelphia. McCarty was the run ner-up today with a score of 181. Eight other prizes were awarded for the next best scores.
