[zkaI and labor and takes
no account of the investment repre-
sented by the stock farm-usually a
heavy one. There are breeders who
declare that unless they can sell each
of their yearlings for price close to
$500 they do not make reasonable
profit, but in the South, where labor
is cheap and where the initial cost of
much of the land was fairly low, 1t
is possible for breeders to make
money from sales at lower figures
than that mentioned.
The organization and management
of an up-to-date breeding farm is In
teresting from the manner in which it
insures attention to detail. The own
er of the farm is usually his own man
ager. but in some instances there is
also a resident manager to handle
matters when the owner is absent
as he must be much of the time IL
he attends the fairs. horse shows and

and has the assistance of several helpers in his
work In addition to this staff there is boss or
foreman for each barn and under each barn
boss is enrolled number of grooms, exercise
boys, etc. At some of the costly farms in yir-
ginia and Kentucky we find every modern facil-

DOCTORS DECRY HIGH HEELS
French Authorities Say They Cause
WEAKNESS and Other lila
to Women.

Paris.-An cutlery against the pres
ent fashion of women's footwear was
Zaised this week By tho French med
ical faculty.
''That tired feeling of which so
many women are complaining. it is
asserted. is largely due to the wear
ing Of high heels. According to the
French doctors, the unnatural posi-
ton which the foot Is forced to take
when shod in fashionable shoe con-
stitutes a complete displacement OF
the center of gravity, and, by throw
ing the whole weight of the body on
the forefoot, occasions contraction
OF the muscles of the toes and legs.
Strong criticism is also made OF
women who. as soon as they return
home from the theater or from some
social function. give way to impulse
and change their high-heeled shoes
for pair of soothing fat-soled slip
pers.
This remedy. 1t is affirmed, is rath-
er worse than the Ill itself, for it
causes the foot to pass from one ex-
IRENE to the other, which in the end
is bound to produce persistent suf-
fering.
Varicose veins are also given az
one OF the probable consequences Of
the high heels of fashion.
In the opinion of leading French
doctors. women who value their
health should never wear heels higher
than one inch.

cHlLD'S HEAD
A MASS OF HUMOR

Il think the Cuticura remedies are
the best remedies for eczema have
ever heard of. My mother had child
who had rash on its head when II
was real young. Doctor called 1t baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but 1t did
no good. In few days the head was
a solid mass, running sore. 1t was
awful; the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got dollar bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent, box of Cuticura Ointment,
and bar Of Cuticura Soap. We gave
the Resolvent as directed, washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and ap-
piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had
not used half before the child's head
was clear and free from eczema, and
It has never come back again. His
head was healthy and he had beau.
tiful head of hair. I think the Cuti-
cura Ointment very good for the hair.
1t makes the hair grow and prevents
falling hair" (Signed) Mrs. Francis
Lund, Plain City, Utah, Sept. 10, 1910.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment are sold everywhere, a sample
of each, with 32-page book, will be
mailed free on application to "Cuti

YOUNGSTERS TO GET CHANCE
New Corners Will Dethrone Any Of
Leaders of Last Season-crop Is
improving Right Along.

Young players who will make their
debuts in National and American
league company will have great
chances to make good. No big deals
nave been made and there are none
In sight. With the present lineups Of
the big teams it looks as though there
would be no change in the finish of
the pennant races. If the leaders of
last season are dethroned, it looks as
though it will have to be done through
the help of the new corners.
1t isn't often that as many live ones
are produced as during the past sea-
son, and for this very reason the 1912
campaign may fail to show any start
ling stars among the juniors. Just
look at the gang of healthy young
bandits that were katched in 1911:
Alexander, Chalmers. Gregg. Jackson.
Esmond, Kirke, Benton, Humphries,
Olson, Knapp, Marsans, Almeida.
Safer. Doyle, Cashion, Gainor, Drake.
Bodie, O'Brien, DaIforth, Mccarthy
and Severoid. Is there much chance
that the new crop will average as
well as these performers?
1t would seem almost impossible to
duplicate such an array of bright
young athletes. but some of the scouts
insist that the younger crop is i'm.
proving right along. A few years ago
the opposite was generally understood
the country had been combed for
star players and they simply didn't
happen. 1t was widely stated and
was probably the case that there were
not enough real ball players to man
two big leagues-that each league was
almost to club equipped with few
stars to the team and lot of dead
ones or never-could-bes. The young
sters were mostly pitchers, and the
ambition to become good infiefder or
even good batter seemed to have
died away.
Things have changed materially in
the past four years. Plenty of fine
batsmen are growing up and taking
their proper places in the fast COM
pany. Good infielders, fast gardeners
and now and then classy catcher
can be found among the rising ath.
letes, and the new pitchers are OF a
superior pattern.

Veteran Umpire Bob Emslie, accord

worked with Emslie great deal and
is much amused over the reports that
Emslie's eyes are bad and he may be
pensioned by the National league.

FRANK SMITH TO QUIT

Former Chicago White Sox Player
Satisfied With Cincinnati Contract
Loses Heart to Pittsburg
Cafe.

Frank Smith, the piano mover, for
mer pitcher of the Chicago White Sox,
has arrived home from a trip to Eu-
rope and says he probably will quit
baseball for good to embark in the res
taurant business. Smith has been
dickering for cafe in Pittsburg and
If re lands it says it is au revoir to
the dear, old game for all time, so far
as he is concerned.
The Cincinanti club has returned
Smiths contract for his signature,
having accepted the big pitchers
terms. Smith says he intends to quit
while his services are sought instead
OF waiting until he is kicked out. He
believes, however, he could go along
for year or SO longer for the Gin
cinnati team and that he would pitch
good ball. The strenuous life of the
diamond has lost it's charm for the
hefty piano toter, to hear him talk,
and he longs for the quiet and indie
pendence of business life.
Now, this is none of your holdout
yarns, for this very day l received
contract from the Cincinnati club,
which accepted my terms. This was
the second contract l received from
the club. The first one did not suit
me and / returned 1t and told what I

INCREASE IN NUMBER
OF AMERICANS
GOING TO CANADA

Although Western Canada suffered
as did many other portions of the
west, from untoward conditions, which
turned one of the most promising
crops ever seen in that country, into
but little more than an average yield
OF all grains, there is left in the
farmers hands, big margin of profit.
OF course there were many farmers
who We're fortunate enough to harvest
and market big yield, and with the
prices that were secured made hand
some returns. From wheat, oats, bar.
ley and fax marketed to the 1st of
January, 1912, there was a gross rev.
enue of $75,3S4000. The cattle, hogs,
poultry and dairy proceeds brought
this up to $101 $4,000 or 21 million
dollars in excess OF 1910. There was
still in the farmers hands at that
time about 50 million bushels of wheat
worth at least another sixty-tive mil
lion dollars (allowing for inferior
grades), besides about 100 million
bushels of oats to say nothing of bar
ley and flax, which would run into sew.

There is great inrush Of settlers
to occupy the vacant lands through
out Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al,
berta. The reports from the Govern
ment show that during the past year
upwards Of $4,000 Americans crossed
the border into Canada. A great many
of these took up farms, over ten thou
sand having homesteaded, in fact the
records show that every state in the
Union contributed. A larger number,
not caring to go so far away as the
homesteading area, have purchased
lands at from fifteen dollars an acre
TO twenty-five dollars an acre. The
prospects for a good crop for 1912
are as satisfactory as for many years
