This season prospects for Mack
looked dubious, with Iron Man Jack
Coombs sick and out of the game and
Bender doing spotty work. But good
old Eddie came to the rescue, oiled
up his aged left arm and has been
moving his way through the Amer
lean League batsmen. He is begin
ming to get help from the youngsters
on the staff, but it is due mainly to
his efforts that the Athletics are Lead
ing the league.
If Mack wins another pennant it
will owe it to one man, Southpaw Ed

VIM FOR THE ROAD WORK.
Governor of Missouri Reports En-
 thuSiaSm Throughout State.

Jefferson City Mo-, July 25.- Governor Major says that he is re- ceiving hundreds of letters daily from all parts of the state com mending his proclamation setting apart August 20 and 2l as Good Roads Day" and calling upon all the able-bodied men in the state to turn out and put in these days at work upon the public highways.
 "Pettis heads the list said the governor, for prompt action. The county court there already has held a meeting. issued a supplemental proclamation and directed that eV- cry road overseer in the county or eanize his district and ascertain definitely just how many volunteer workers will be ready to report. l understand that Jackson county has also moved in the premises. The move will prove a big success beyond doubt"
 State Highway Commissioner Bunum has taken steps to scatter circulars all over the state contain
 ing the governors proclamation. .AH the county courts will meet next month and the proclamation will certainly be seconded by the courts and the real work of organ izing for properly putting in the two days to the very best possible advantage will commence.
 It is stated that the women in most agricultural districts are talk ing as much interest as the men. They have promised that the men shall be we'll fed on fried spring chicken and the best the Missouri farms produce.
 The hardest difficulty to meet will undoubtedly he to utilize the work of so many men to good ad- vantage. No one can say just how many men will respond. Governor Major is satisfied that fully half a million will do so, while others are of the opinion that the governors estimates are too low.

RAILWAYS OPPOSE PARCEL POST CHANCE
Lines Will Fight Against Increase in Size of Packages Carried Commerce Commission
 Gave Consent.

i Washington July 2i-RoilWay
 representatives have joined in the fight to prevent Postmaster Gen
 eral Burleson from increasing the
 size of parcel post packages trans
 mittable through the mails and
 reducing the rates, to become eff
 fective August l5. A delegation representing the railroads laid
 their complaint before senators and representatives and prepared to protes. informally against the changes Jo the Interstate Commerce Commission.
 The movement in the senate it.
 self To forestal the department changes by repeating the section of
 the parcel post law under which the postmaster general claims the right to regulate rates and sizes, further crystallized when Senator Bryan of Florida introduced a joint
 resolution to repeal the Iegislation. | Another development was the post ponement from today until Friday of the explanation demanded by the Senate postotlice committee of Postmaster General BurleSon of his authority to inaugurate the changes.
 It was urged that in the enact ment of the parcel post law Con- gress allowed the railroads per cent additional to pay for the in creased business placed upon them, and if the proposed changes were to be made the roads would be en- titled to a further increase. The delegation suggested that the mat ter would be carried to the courts if necessary.
 The joint resolution introduced by Senator Bryan was in the exact words of the bill introduced by him April i5, the object being to facilitate the passage of the re- .pealing enactment through the House, where a resolution is under lighter parliamentary handicaps than a bill.
 Several inquiries were made dur
 ing the day of the Interstate Com merce Commission as to it's part in the proposed changes. The law requires the commission to give it's consent, after investigation, to pro- posed changes by the postmaster general. Officials gave out the in formation that an Investigation of rates and sizes had not been held in the sense that public hearings had been granted, but that the commissions consent had been eiv- en to the postmaster general.

CHEROKEE MAID WINS OIL LAND
After Bitter Fight Court OuStcd Guardian of Carrie Cochran Davis and Ordered Oil Company to
 Make Accounting.

Tahlequah, Ok, July 23.-Probab- ly the most bitterly fought case of it's kind in the history of the oil fields of Oklahoma came to an end at Nowata yesterday when District Judge Brown decided the case of Carrie Cochran Davis, a Cherokee, against the Tulsa Oil Company in favor of the plaintiff. and busted Houston B. Tehee of this city mem Der of the state legislature, as the girls guardian and restored her father to that position. The court ordered the oil company to make an accounting to the girl at an ear ly date for all oil produced on her allotment since March, 1912, and requires Tehee 10 turn over to the girls father all royalties collected by him during this period.
 The Tulsa Oil Company held a lease to the girls allotment near NoWata prior to March, 1912. The land is valued at Sl00,000. About the time the lease was supposed to expire the girl. a minor at that time, disappeared. Federal officers took up the ease and located her at Hot Springs. Ark. It was charged that she had been Kidnapped The girl became of age few days after the lease expired, but, according to the Indian roles which the courts hold must be accepted she will not become of age until September. and until that time her father will re- main her guardian. He was busted from this position by the county court of this county, and Tehpe was named in his stead.
 The Tulsa company continued to operate on the land after iDs lease expired a year aao last March.

Ashdown, July 2i.-Five miles of handsome road were built today by the citizens of Ashdown and Wilton and those residing along the route connecting these two cities. Owing to the location of the pike, the con- struction crews were unable to work fast but they could have built more road had they planned to do so.
 Several hundred people joined the workers, and at noon the wives of farmers residing along the route served a chicken dinner. All stores in both cities were closed and busi- ness was generally suspended. J. R. Shidler of the federal highway commission addressed the workers at noon.

MODERN UTOPR|A IS
 YOUNG ASTOR'S PLAN
loung Millionaire Would Make Vast Estate industrial Democracy" Increased Salaries Sl00,-
 900 Year.

New York. July 26.-Nincent As tor is planning to transform his magnificent estate at Rhinebeck in- to a modern utopia as far as con ditions of labor are concerned. As the first step in what the young man terms industrial democracy, Just before sailing today on his reg ular weekend cruise on the Noma, he conferred with many of the i,000 men. women and children employed lat Fern Cliff.
 II desire ,o get into the closest possible touch with every depart men, on the place" had been his message to them. If you have any complaint or suggestion to make come to me personally each Satur- day morning. | will see you and talk to you as man to man and not as employer to employe.' "
 Curious t0 See AStOr.
 Mr. Astor half expected that in response to his invitation citizens would flock 10 him with complaints. Instead. while a small army assem- bled. only three employees came for wards to speak to him. These sim ply wanted to greet the young suzerain of Fern Cliff and thank him for what he has done for them since he has undertaken the man. aeement of the estate.
 Last September, when he had definitely decided not to return to Harvayd, Mir. Astor said he would look after the estate and it's em- ployes to the best of his ability. In the last few months he has gradual ly raised wages until the payroll at Fern Cliff shows an increase of ap- proximately sl00000 a year,
 Pensions for Employees.
 To carry out his scheme of an ideal industrial democracy at Fern Cliff. Mr. Astor has also de- cided to retire old persons on a pension after a certain term of ser vice. There are families on the place who have been with the As tors for three generations, and lhese are as secure in their own lit- tie cottages as though they held deeds to the properties.
 Fern Clifr, under the present management. is really a self-sup- porting municipality of over 2'ooo acres.
 Mr. Astor has told his intimate friends that he realizes that most .of his wealth comes through the increase of real estate values. and Inc carries that hypothesis 10 it's logical conclusion in these words |;
 "It is my duty to show my gratl- Jude by taking an interest m great nuhlie movements and in every way to attempt to aid mankind
