KAWS BUSY NOW
Gear Gives Squad Two Work
outs at Shreveport.
Manager Thinks Players VIII
Get Into Shape Quickly.

Shreveport, La, March 13.-The real
training season of the Kaws began
here today. Two workouts were held,
one beginning at 10 a. m. and the sec
ond at O'Clock. From now on it Is
two sessions daily, weather permitting,
until the club returns to Kansas for
the opening of hostilities.
The following players were guided to
the ball park by Gear today: Gardner,
Walsh, Sorrenson, Ryan, Emory, H.
Hoffman, King, Burns, HoWles, Green
Lunsford, Pickett, Schmidt and Smith.
Pickett, the last player signed by
Gear is a first sacker. He has the
build and in the workout today showed
signs of acquaintance with the pas
time. He may give Gardner a run
for the first sack place although he
will have to show considerable class tC
grab the steady situation as Gear
knows all about the Gardner person
Pickett weighs 10 pounds and is two
inches over the six foot mark. He
has graduated from the Agricultural
and Mechanism college of this state
and made an excellent showing on the
school team. Two of Gears pitchers
are from that college.
Hoffman is an outf1elder whose home
is at Atlanta, Tex, and who has made
a good reputation in slower baseball.
All of the players worked with a vim
today but they are dreading already
the sore arm period.
Manager Gear is pleased with the
looks of the players who have SO far
reported.
1.-The boys look like they had taken
good care of themselves he said to-
day. Il do not think any of them will
have serious trouble getting into shape.
The only trouble will be to keep these
fellows from working too hard on the
start. They feel too good and may
require q little watching on that &C
count"
Gear also announced that the Kaws
would play the Detroit team at Mon
roe La, March 20.

FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY
the Winters Are Cold and the
SHOWS Deep.

Writing from the vicinity David
Harum made famous, a man says that
he was an habitual coffee drinker, and,
although he knew it was doing him
harm, (Tea is equally harmful, be-
cause it contains caffeine-the same
drug found in coffee) was too obstinate
to give it up, till all at once he went
to pieces with nervousness and in
somnia, loss of appetite, weakness,
and a generally used-up feeling, which
practically untitled him for his ardu
Gus occupation, and kept him on
couch at home when his duty did not
call him out.
while in this condition Grape-Nuts
food was suggested to me and l began
to use it. Although it was in the mid
die of winter and the therm ometer

after the first two weeks I began
to feel better and during the whole
winter I never lost a trip on my mail
route, frequently being on the road

''All my nervousness, irritability and

greatest surprise to me is the fact that

SELL NO TICKETS TO MEXICO.
Passenger Departments Refuse to Mix
in With War Troubles.

Passenger departments on roads in
Topeka have received official circulars
directing them not to sell any tickets
to certain cities in Mexico until they
communicate with the main offices
This has been done owing to the in
terruptions to traffic on the National
Railway of Mexico. The demand Tor
tickets to Mexico is not very brisk at
the present time, while there is no tour
list business at all.
Copies of telegram sent by Major
Charles Hines, former Cincinnati rail-
road man, who is now vice president
and general manager of the Southern
Pacific of Mexico. have been received
by Topeka railroad officials. in which
that official told agents of the road
Americans in Mexico must not allow
their good judgment to become clouded
by wild rumors and imaginary dangers.
Tie message concludes: I'VE have no
authentic information warranting be-
lief that any serious crisis is impend-

TRAINS ARE STILL TIED UP.
Snow, SIush and SIeet Hard Combina-
ton TO Beat

Salina, Kan, March 13.-The rail-
road situation in western Kansas is
growing serious, but hopes OF relief
are entertained, especially on the
Union Pacific All trains east are
made up in Salina and only about one
in three carry mail because of the
fact the mail cars are in snow drifts
west of Salina where not a train is
moving. Mondays 103 made an eff
fort to go west last evening, but was
forced to come back without reach
ing Ellsworth. The Lincoln branch is
still closed, although the plows are
working on the drifts, one from each
direction. The line was opened for
few days, two weeks ago, as far west
as PlainVille. 1t is said there are 200
sacks of mail in the depot there for
western points which can not be de-
livered. Hill City, HoXie and other
towns on the west end of the branch
are reported approaching distress for
food and fuel. When the line will
be opened is problematical. No trains
are running on the Missouri Pacific.

ROCK ISLAND HELPS FARMERS.
Ships Seeds Free to TilIers of Soil in
Colorado

Denver, March 13.-To aid the
farmers of eastern Colorado in taking
the fullest advantage of opportunities
offered for big crops this year. the
Rock Island railroad will transport
seed and stock feed, originating within
the state, to farmers along its line
in Colorado without charge during
this month
This will mean a saving of from
$4,000 to $4,000 in transportation
charges to the farmers. in the terri
tory tributary to the Rock Island
Lines.
The free rate will not be applied in
cases where it may be absorbed COM
mercially. To make certain that it
is extended only to actual farmers
in straitened circumstances, all goods
will be shipped under the regular
revenue billing. At destination they
will be distributed under the super
vision OF the county commissioners
who will make report to Martin,
showing to what shipments the free
rate should apply. Martin will then
issue the necessary orders for the
transportation charges.
The other railroads have already
agreed to transport free of cost, all
seed donated to the farmers. and to
transport stock feed and seed sold
to the farmers at half rates.
