LINOTYPE WAY
THE ONLY WAY
BRIEF HISTORICAL SKETCH OF
THE EVOLUTION OF
THE LINOTYPE.

Ottoman Mergaathaler, inventor of
the Linotype, was born in Germany,
and there learned the trade of watch
maker. AS young man he came to
America, locating at Baltimore, Nd,
where he eventually became interest
ed in solving some means of setting
type by machinery, and after several
rather discouraging attempts he at
last figured out simple little device
for accomplishing the justification of
a line Of type after it had been set
(by justification we mean the making
of each line of exactly the same
lengthy. Previous to this the prob
lem had never been solved and was,
perhaps the most difficult problem to
overcome in connection with me-
chanical typesetter. But Morgan
thaler solved the problem with what
is known as a double wedge space
band, and for which, it is said, he
received $416,00O for his patent
rights. But after all this space band
could not be used with common type,
so Merganthaler's wonderful mind
had to > picture an entirely new
and untried means of producing type
like characters for printing. Seeing
the necessity for producing an unlim-
tied amount Of new type at = much
faster rate than type could be set by
hand, he devised q machine that was
both a composing and type cast
ing affair and in which his space-band
was designed to work, and from the
nature of the product of this machine
it could not be properly called type
caster or type setter, but it was a
happy combination Of mechanisms
which produced a line Of type not in
separate characters but on slug the
full length of the desired line This
was accomplished by means Of brass
molds, each having a character of the
alphabet stamped in one edge while
at the top different combination of
notches on each mold or matrix en-
abled them to be distributed back into
their respective channels in the maga-
zine by means of conveyors, when
they are again assembled by operat-
ing the keyboard, which is somewhat
similar to a typewriter. After a line
of matrices are assembled they are
automatically delivered to casting
mechanism where the slug is cast
from molten metal, and comes out

BASE BALL IN
THE VERNACULAR
CHICAGO TRBIUNE'S VIEWS ON
FOOD FOR HUNGRY KEPT-INs,
AWAY FROM DIAMOND.

If it were likely that the occasional
protests against baseball diction would
gather strength and form q move.
ment it would be deplorable. It has
not only rich argot but is form of
art.
It must be remembered that there are
numerous hungry devotees who seldom
see game. They are laboring in the
vineyard when other multitudes are
shrieking in the grand stands. They
take their baseball geographically
and pictorially. They are the most
grateful beneficiaries of the baseball
chronicle.
For them the baseball writer con-
trives a struggle. He helps them to
visualize something even more excit-
ing than what actually happens on
the ball field, or at least something
more exciting than what they would
be able to see with their own mex
pert eyes were they occasional spec
tat0rs. He shows them attack and de-
fense, sharp, spirited, and determined.
Their own eyes might serve them
only to see certain businesslike per-
sons nonchalantly swinging bats,
rubbing their hands on their dusty
clothes, getting into positions of tense
muscularity, relaxing into Indifference
walloping the ball Justify, sprinting
speedily; trotting back and forth over
the field etc. ..,: f.
All this is nothing compared with
the picture presented to the paper
fam" -.
Against this slightly patched
fighting front Chance hurled the full
strength of his battle nicked machine"
Assembling his brain and physical
forces the Red youngster suppressed
the heavy artillery, leaving two in
trepid explorers anchored on the bas-
es and gasping for breath"
"Ten Cubbers jumped upon the pros
trate and unsuspecting Smithie in the
third, Evers getting two shots at the
piano mover in this period"
"Undaunted, the Reds came back in
the fourth and lambasted themselves
back into the lead again with whirl-
wind assault that routed no less a
parsonage than our own King Cole
completely off his throne"
There's action. There's a rushing
impact. There's conflict of warning
forces, a whirl of combatants, de-
lirium of combat, an ecstasy of human
endeavor in a large arena. Let us
have no talk of reforming baseball
language. 1t is the joy of the kept
ins.

The efficacy Of the sugar beet as
q soil medicine is due partly to the
service it renders sick soils, or those
which require merely to be invigor-
ated, partly to the peeularities Of its
growth and partly to the fact that
it gains it's chief sustenanee directly
from the air and takes practically
nothing Of value from the soil Even
this little may be returned to the soil
by the farmer since after the extrac-
tion of sugar from the beet the resi-
due may be used as fertilizer.
If the soil has indigestion the sugar
beet acts in several ways to eradicate
the trouble. It roots very deeply in
the soil, five or six inches deeper
than other crops, and when taken out
leaves its tenuous auxiliary roots in
the ground. These constitute a well
distributed supply Of indispensable
organic matter which is readily
changed to humus, very permanent
soil constituent which forms its di-
aestive element with ability to render
HARMLESS soil toxins.

RAISING OF
SUGAR BEETS
ONE OF MOST PROFITABLE
CROPS TO AMERICAN FAR
MER-IMPROVES SOIL.


Chicago, ILL.,, April 23.-That the
raising Of sugar beets is one OF the
most profitable crops that the Amerl-
can farmer can undertake is the state
ment of experts who have been busy
for nearly two years past studying
the farmers side Of the sugar beet
as crop. Here are some OF the con-
clusions announced as result OF this
investigation, conducted in behalf OF
the United States Beet Sugar Indus
try, an organization Of independent
sugar manufacturers:
Sugar beets used as a rotation crop
improve the soil.
Soils which, become "sick" and un-
profitable through the introduction
BY other crops of poisons which kill
other crops, and cause the land to
"die" are cured by treatment OF q
crop of sugar beets.
The higher crops Of grain per
capita in Europe as compared with
America are due to the treatment of
soils by alternating sugar beet crops.
The sugar beets themselves sell at
a high figure, being in themselves
higher priced crop and more profit
able than any other crop the farmer
can produce.
The tops of the sugar beets, used
for stock food, prove the finest food
for dairy cattle or for meat animals.
Here are some of the reports re-
ceived from various beet sugar Sec
tions of the country:
Ordway, Colo, James G. Close
tried comparison on an eighty acre
tract of twenty -four acres Of sugar
beets, and fifty acres Of alfalfa. His
beets, 1913 tons sold at $3.50, brought
him, with the sale of the tops for
fodder, $2,239, net profit for the
crop of $1,23s.8O, or roughly $500 an
acre.
Steamboat Rock, Ia, F. NJ. Williams
sold 553 tons of beets for $2,765
from tract of 33 IL acres. His ex-
penses were less than $500.
Winona, Mimi, A. F. Miller planted
SIS IL acres to sugar beets and re-
ceived $5,19O.26 for his crop, net
profit Of $2,s5O.4S.
Middleton, Mich, Adney Reynolds
took net profit Of $1,700 from q
acres of land.
Billings, Mont, Henry Schultz says
that during 1911 about 81 100000 was
paid to farmers for beets in that rart
of Montana, and after the tops were
fed to sheep, the farmers estimated
their average profit at $50 an acre.
These examples are given by the
compilers of the sugar beet statistics
as being taken at random, from far
mers in different parts Of the country.
Evidence that sugar beet culture
benefit the land can be found by COM
pairing the government statistics Of
the average yield per acre in the Unit
ed States with those of European
countries where sugar beets have been
among the leading crops for many
years. Germany, which produces
more sugar than any other country,
or about one-fifth Of all the worlds
production, and all made from sugar
beets, has the highest average yield
per acre of other crops. The COM
parison following shows in wheat,
oats and potatoes the yields are more
than double those Of the United
States.

TEDDY ROOSE-
WELT SHOT
Wounds not Serious
and He Will Soon
Recover

MILWAUKEE,, WIS, Oct. IA.
Theodore Roosevelt was shot and
wounded tonight as he was leaving
the Gilpatrick Hotel for the Audi
forum to make a speech. Despite
his wound the Colonel went on to
the hall and began his speech after
he had seen the assailant arrested
and taken to the police station.
With the Colonel were Philip
Roosevelt, a young cousin, Mr.
Cochems, Mr.. Martin and Capt.
Girard.
The crowd pressed close about
the Colonel and gave a cheer as he
appeared. AS the party approached
the automobile, Col. Roosevelt's
companions stood aside and he
stepped into the car. Martin en-
tered directly behind him, and sat
on the further side of the car.
Col. Roosevelt stood up waving
his hat in answer to the cheers OF
the crowd. The assassin was
standing in the crowd a few feet
from the automobile. He pushed
his way to the side of the car and
raising his gun fired.
Martin caught the flash, and leap
ed over the car a second after the
bullet sped on it's way.
Col. Roosevelt barely moved as
the shot was fired. Before the
crowd knew what had happened,
Martin. who is six feet tall and a
former football player, had landed
squarely on the assassin's should
ers and had borne him to the ground
The fourth rib on Colonel Roose-
velt's right side was fractured by
the bullet which struck him. This
became known Wednesday. 1t
was also learned that the x-ray
photograph taken in Milwaukee
failed to reveal the exact location of
the bullet. A more. minute exam
nation OF the place will be made
this afternoon.
The fractured rib, it was explain
ed. had caused pain in breathing.
Schrank is a foreigner and dis
patches from his native country,
Bavaria, state that he is an army
deserter. His trial will not be had
until after the election. Schrank is
the man that fired the shot.
