COUNTY EDITORS ORGANIZE
Form Association for Mutual Benefit

The editors and publishers of
the six weekly newspapers pub
lished in DeSoto county met IN

After considerable preliminary
discussion, it was resolved to or
ganize a county press association,
whereupon A. p. Jordan was
chosen president; s. A. Mcbride,
yice.president, and Geo. W. Adj
ans, secretary. This organiza-
tion having been made permanent,
tho chairman announced that the
subject of subscription rates was
the first item for consideration,
An interchange of views resulted
in the adoption Of resolution
/. that the subscription rate of $l.W
q year entails distinct loss npor
The publishers and that, IN view
of the increased cost of all ma
terials, 1t is necessary to advanc,
the rate to $l.50 u year. al
nresent announced that they woul'
adopt and enforce the $l.5O rat
on and after Jany. let, 1914.
The next matter discussed wa
the prevailing practicc of the pull
fishers to "cut" rates on legal ad
yertising. This resulted in ares
olution, which was agreed to o.
all present, that this cutting Q
rates should cease immedlatel,
and that all the publishers wo y
adhere to and enforce the rate
f;xed by law, viz: $1.O0 per inc

seven Illus INOL So, IOI we dH6duy
know about the Texans ability. and
expect him to show such stuff.
It's that Sox outfeld. Collins,
Mattick and ~Bodie between them
dashed out seven of~the ten hits made
off Fisher and Heating, including
two triples, double and four singles.
Bodie and Mattick collaborated on
the attack that scored the lone tally.
Ping tripled in the fourth, and Chick
realized it would take a healthy
blow to score Ping, so he spanked a
long single to left.
Collins and Mattick were the real
guys. John registered two singles
and a double, and one of Chicks trio
was good for three bases. If the
other men had been able to get the
ball safe the SOx would have run up
a dozen taIies. Once Mattick tTipled
with none out, but the next three
men were helpless. Both Collins and
Maftick seem to be travelling at their
real pace at last. John has overcome
his temporary slump and Chick has
layed the ink that pursued him so
persistentIy.
I There is a rumor of a trade that
will send Bodie to the Yanks IN ex-
change for either Daniels or Ster-
rett- We could use Daniels. He is a
fair hitter, and fash on the bases;
also a good fielder. St9Erett has been
tried in the outfeId, but is naturally
a catcher and failed to make good in
the suburbs. Chance can afford to
let Daniels go, as he is plentifuIly
supplied with outfeld material.
The Sox climbed to third place by
beating the Yanks, as Washington
lost. The battle for the show posi-

tween the coHtenders, as the Chi
cagoans open a four-game series

the enemies remained marooned.
Five Yanks were whitfield by Russell,
and every one of these strikeouts
came with man in position to score
on a hit. That shows how much
stuff the Sox pitcher was using when
he had to. With men on second and
third Reb famed Harry Wolter.
With no one on and one out Wolter
later tripled. Reb then famed the
second man and the third popped
out. Some reserve stuff. Russell
has had only one easy game this
year, and that was when his mates
ran up six runs on Washington. In
all his other contests he has had to
work hard to keep the enemy away
from the plate and bring home vic
tory. In one game he held the Ath-
letics to three hits and still was beat.
This makes the youngsters work all
the more remarkable.
The Philly Nationals have felt the
first break in their infeld. Otto
Knabe, second baseman, and Mana
ger Joe Tinker of the Reds engaged
in a fist fight during yesterdays
game, and it is probable both will
draw suspensions. Cincinnati won,
Benton letting the PhfIlies down with
four hits. Mayer went well for the
Pills, but was beaten by Tinker's
bat, Joe clubbing a single and double.
Marty O'Toole, who cost Pitts
burgh a flock of change, pitched a
regular wealthy game against the
Dodgers, tanning seven. Three
Brooklyn pitchers had nothing to
fool the Pirates. Viox got homer,
double and two singles, and every
other man on the team but O'Toole
banged two hits.
Charley o'Leary of the Cardinals
got to Lefty Tyler of. the Boston
Braves for three hits, but the other
St Louis players we're helpless. tt

The longcontinued depression of the hearts action
by grief may bring about a condition of manutrtion
with very definite organic change to explain it, and
such condition is frequently noted only in the old
but in the young, where it sometimes produces
predspositon to tuberculosis. This is the explanation
of that condition termed going into a decline

THE Health Department Of the City OF
Buffalo is making an effort 10 prohibit
the use OF brass finger bowls in that
city. OF course the Health Board officials
know they cannot prevent their use in pri-
waite families. but in public eating places they
hope to succeed. The reason Tor this is the
claim that the brass finger bowls are not
sanitary.
Health Commissioner Fronczack declares
that while the use Of finger bowls is TO be
commended, they should always be Of glass,
