McKernan Will Manage Battle
Creek.

Edward McKernan, former manager
of the Paris team of the Blue Grass
League. has been appointed as man
ager of the Battle Greek team of the
southern Michigan League. McKer-
nan was at the head of the club last
season and all of the time was fighting
around the top.
His club led the league for a greater
part of the season but along toward
the close difficulty with an umpire
resulted in McKernan's suspension as
we'll as two other members of the
club.
This left the team in sore straits.
but with all the difficulties encountered
the pennant was lost only by couple
of games.
McKernan carried the Paris club
through two seasons to the pennant
and won the admiration of the fans all
over the circuit for his wonderful
ability as base ball general. Last
season he received disappointment as
manager of the Michigan club at the
highest salary ever paid playing. man-
ager in that company, and that he was
worth the price is attested by his stub
born fight for the pennant.
For some time it has been reported
that the Maysville club of the Blue
Grass League has been making an
effort to secure the services of Nc
Herman for the coming season, but his
appointment as manager of the Battle
Creek. ciub1sets this rumor at rest.

port as Postmaster General to Presi-

the opening of the system. He de.
clared that under Postmaster General
Hitcbcook's proclamation one hundred
millions uf the peop.e of the United
States are emancipated from the bond
age of the express companies. The

double the benefits of the postotfice

of Honan, 'Shensi. and Shansi, with
some fifty millions of inhabitants, lie
almost entirely within that wonderful
"Loess. Belt" which is covered with q
brownish-yellow loan, coating the
mountains, hills, valleys and plains to

Too porous for the cultivation OF
rice, it becomes with plenty of rain OF
irrigation one of the most productive
soils in the world. No fertilizers are
needed, and when the wheat crop is
cut, the farmer spreads little fresh
ioess over the stubble. plows it in,
and plants his fall crop. thus securing
throughout the belt two crops every
year.

wheat. barley, peas, beans, sweet po
tatoes and rapeseed for oil. There
follow cotton, millet, maize, beans anC
