x a BASEBALL player ought
n to be at his best between 80

"A to be at his best s'5 between 80 80
and 3d." said James r. Nc
Red Sox, worlds champions, in
Boston recently and he ought to
save 100000 while in baseball"
The author of the aforesaid ought
to be some authority on the sub
ject, because he was playing the
game about that age. Moreover,
being chief mo9ul of the cham
pions, his observations concerning
diamond athletics ought to carry
weight.
If McAleer's remark is actually
true, then baseball is unquestion-
ably the best of all outdoor sports,
so far as the players thereof are
concerned. In no other branch Of
athletics can a man, as a rule, stand
the strain after, say 27 or 2S, and
nearly all Of them begin to go back
at about 30. And how many men
here saved 100000 at the age of 35?
"Of course, man isn't so fast
after so as he was before" added
the Red Sox president. But he
has learned to think by that time,
and he should be more valuable to
his club after 80 than before-al-
ways provided he has taken care of
himself"
Here Are Some Past 80.
AS evidence McAleer might men
ton Jimmy Archer, the Cub pre-
mier catcher, who is regarded as
one of the best there is, and is 80

will be 80 next May, and who is still

Enforcino the Mahin Law.

In an effort to learn the location OF
Aspeak-easies'' and "blfnd tigers and
incidentally to test the new Kansas
Mahin liquor law, which he helped to
frame, Chief of Police Gordon of Kan
sas City, Kan, ordered the arrest of
every beer-wagon driver and the con-
fiscation of his wares. Seven wagon
loads of beer were seized, and the
drivers arrested before the distribut-
ing companies learned of the chiefs
order. When the order became gem
orally known the beer drivers has
tened across the state line to avoid
arrest The beer wagons were driven
to police headquarters and unloaded-
The drivers we're released on $50 cash
bonds and allowed to drive back to
Missouri with their empty wagons.
The confiscated beer was stored in a
cell room. AS a result of the day
work, the cell room was turned into
a beer warehouse. There were ITS
cases of beer, twice as many empty
cases and several kegs piled there.
A different procedure than that usual
ly followed in liquor raids was car
ried out however. The beer was not
destroyed, but was kept in the orig
inal packages. This might be taken
to indicate that the police fear they
will have to give back their booty.

First Call for Wheat Hands.

Farm help is mighty scarce in Kan

ment bureau has received reports

farm hand situation and sixty of them
report few farm hands available and
many calls for workers Nineteen
ceantes have enough hands for the
present time. The wheat harvest will
not begin until about June 10 along

sessions of the Kansas State Bankers
association. Upon motion of Ex-Gov. w.

the Kansas State Agricultural college

President Henry J. Waters of the
state agricultural college. President
Waters said that although Kansas
was boasting of its PROSPERITY, the
farmers were wearing out the soil
and wasting the natural resources and
that although the farmers were de-
stroying the fertility of the land. most
\of them rejected the offers of assist
ance made by the state agricultural
college.

big success. Eight thousand persons
were packed into this little prairie

with thousands of buns, held the place
of honor at the long tables. Several
