lions during the year have given the
Sox a formidable battle front.
Chase is the strongest plug. Not
since the days of Jiggs Donahue
have the .Sox been represented by
good man on first base. Chase is
even better than Jiggs, for he will
hit many points heavier than the old
timer. In addition to the mechanical
Strengthening, Hal has had an effect
on the other infielders. He has put
fight in them and he has made it
possible for them to take more
chances on quick throws on speedy
batters.
O'BTien cannot but help strength
en- the pitching staff. 1t is the out
field that has caused the main worry
and the problem is still UnsOlved.
Bodie can hit, until the middle of
July, at any rate, but he is fearfUlly
deficient in speed, both on the bases
and in the field. Because of his snail
like base running, much of the effec-
tiveness of his batting is lost. Col
Inns will do. BeaH at present seems
to be the missing link. His batting
since joining the SOx has been strong
and timely and his bareTunning has
proved acceptable. He is not in Mat
ticks class as a fielder, but Chick
can never hope for a regular birth
until he finds a batting eye.
It is hard to figure any way to keep
Callahan out of the first division.
The Cubs were licked by the
Giants in their first Eastern game,
and the old abb of bad pitching can't
be employed to explain the defeat.
The game was tossed away by
punched punk errors of Evers and

USinQ HEDGES Profitable.

| The hedge Is one Of the most valu
able landscape assets that we have
and at the same time one OF the most
abused. Tremendously popular twenty
years ago, 1t fell rapidly into disuse
about the same time that the front
yard fence began to be abolished. The
| ornamental hedge Is beginning to
come back to its proper field now, and
we trust that 1t will be more generally
used, in it's proper place.
The formal hedge, particularly the
evergreen hedge. has not place on the
small lot 1t is as much out OF place
as six two-story Ionic pillars in front
OF a portable bungalow. And that
means that hedges of any kind are in
bad taste on most small lots.
II the house itself is not close to the
sidewalk, or 1t is desirable to use a
hedge on small lot becluse of I'M
usual conditions, use low, informal
hedge such as barberry or Japanese
ounce.
The great field OF the hedge is as
beautiful boundary partition on large
grounds, or as screen to furnish pri-
vacy and shut out disagreeable views.
In such locations the evergreen
hedge cannot be surpassed, because It
is equally effective in winter and sum-
mer, It's life Is from fifteen to twenty
years, and 1t forms an excellent back
ground for deciduous planting.
Use American arborvitae for the
lower hedges and hemlock for the tree
hedges. The effect is somber and the
view from the house will be bright
ened by planting few Colorado blue
spruce and line Of red barked flow
ering dogwood against the hedge.
More graceful and cheering effects
can be secured by putting In Califor-
MIA privet, barberry or Japanese
ounce, and they are fully as satisfac-
tory in their own way.
For screens nothing can surpass
hemlock or some of our beautiful de-
ciduous shrubs, such as the hardy
lilacs and syringas.
In moist, cool regions, such as pre-
vail along the coast line of New Eng
land, the lockwood plant is almost uni
versally used, and it makes a hedge
as smooth and solid looking az a bank
OF turf
Planting directions vary with the
season. the soil and the plants used:
hence we cannot cover them all in this
article.
Hedges may be planted successful
ly at any time of the year that the
ground can be worked, but spring and
fall are the best times. Be sure to
fertilize well and plant thickly enough.
About SIS worth of plants will make
an ordinary hedge 200 feet long.

The Town Cow.

IL Is surprising fact to MANY to
learn that there are very consider
able number of COWS kept within
the limits of every great city. Cows
are familiar sight on the streets of
many small towns, but in our vast
congested urban centers the sight of
one Is very unusual. OF course the
number OF COWS here is much small
er In proprtion to the population. and
II Is very unfortunate In many ways
that there are not more COWS dwelling
In our midst, so to speak
The city COW, when owned and man.
aged by professional milkman, has
proved to be a considerable menace
to health In the past, entirely due to
the way In which such animals have
been handled. We do not wish to be
understood as advocating the opera
ton OF commercial dairy herds under
urban conditions, but we do believe
firmly that 1t would be a great agent
for the better health of city children
IL there were more city COWS owned
by their parents.
Census figures show that the infant
mortality rate In large cities is much
higher than among children of the
same class, age. and mode OF life in
smaller towns or in the country

One OF the quickest ways to get re-

from healthy cows, and IL handled
In such way that It reaches you
within twelve hours after milking that
1t has not been warmer than so de-
grees0 since milking, and that there
has been no possible chance OF dust or
dirt OF any character getting into It,
The very best and most satisfactory
way to cecure pure milk, at the lowest
possible cost is to keep a COW your
self, II your circumstances will permit
All you will need Is a small stable,
and lot Of paddock where the COW
can get out into the fresh air for ex-

conditions milk can be produced for
from three to FIVE cents a quart, buy

Milk, when taken from the COW in
the proper manner, is as clean as any
article of food that we have. The
sooner 1t reaches the consumer and
the fewer hands 1t has to pass
through, the smaller the opportunity
for foreign matter and disease germs
to get into 1t. The city family that
owns, feeds and milks its own COW
enjoys one of those great privileges
that make the country a better place
to live In than the city.

Hungarian cause was sealed. The
patriots could not hope 10 win

power of the north. Still they
fought on, and when, by the logic
of war, they were forced to give
up and drop back into the old
situation, they had nothing to be
ashamed of. They had done al
that brave and honorable men
could do to secure to their chill,

for any kind of reproach or
shame. Their honor and self-re,
