Burnstad. Sept. 81. - A turkey
hen here has been doing some
nature-faking. She proudly struts
around town with six young turkeys
and young prairie-chicken. 1t is
probable that prairie-hen laid one
egg in her nest, or else after the
birds were Matched that in some
manner she accumulated q lone
prairie-chicken. The latter seems
happy with Its adopted mother and
step brothers and sisters.

Of the prairie variety was scared to
death recently as a result Of one Of
the most interesting experiences
ever attempted in this section Of the
state. Joe Brown, N. d. Black and
Peter Morgan were out in search Of
the elusive chicks. They tramped
over fields, through dales and across
hills till shortly before the hour of
$50. "There!" cried Joe Brown.

Instantly all were attention. The
guns we're raised to as many
shoulders. With one accord three
shells were fired: then three more
followed, while Joe Brown added a
third shell just for luck. The bird
fell to the ground. Three hunters
came rushing on it. each anxious
to claim the honors. They ex-
amined the. bird. There wasn't a
mark on it. Mr.. Chicken had been
scared to death.

PROF. LAUGHLIN ATTACKS
 MINIMUM WOMEN WAGE
 LEGISLATION AS lJNSOUND

Chicago, April 1s-Prof. J. Lawrence Laughlin, head of the department of political economy at the University of Chicago, attacked the movement for minimum wage legislation for women as unsound and directly opposed to the interests of women workers, in an ad- dress on the subject, ''Monopoly of Labor, last night, at the university.
 ''In all this agitation for a minimum wage for women, which is serving to give much political notoriety, there is no connection between labor, wages and producing power" said Prof. Laughlin. '"The chief Idea of the sponsors of the movement is that wages shall be based on what the worker needs to live on properly. But the facts of daily life show that girls who are not actually worth the mini mum wage-$S let us say-would not be employed.
 ''The true and immediate remedy for low wages for girls is the creation of institutions for industrial training. thus increasing the earning power of girls and conserving their wages.''

BIRTHDAY OF CAP
 ANSON WAS YESTERDAY

If Marshalltown, Iowa, doesn't hoist all its available flags and declare a holiday, that ungrateful unicipal- ity will prove itself undeserving of the immortal fame that attaches to the birthplace of a great man. It was in Marshalltown that Adrian Con stantine Anson, the greatest figure in the history of baseball, was born six ty-one years ago yesterday, April IT, 1852. Through forty years of active participation in the game. Anson, at first nicknamed Babe" became Cap" and, finally, Pop and "the grand old man of baseball" Since fans first be- gan to cry, Kill the umpire" no oth- CT player or manager has gained such widespread popularity as Cap" An son. He was truly an interna tiona1 figure, and he had his admirers in England and continental Europe as well as in America.
 In the mind of the average small boy of the period, the Chicago giant head and shoulders above presidents and kings. To obtain 8 bat that had been used by Anson was the chief ambition of many fans. The big blonde leader was the champion batter of his time, and perhaps of all the size of small telegraph pole, and when 1t met the ball, as it usually did when directed by Gap Ansons eagle eye, the horsehtde was off on a long journey. Pop was at his best as

With two acts staged in trop- tcaI countries, the action Of the plo6 is strictly American and it's unfolding Is in no way marred by the Enawkisl1 sentiments so often infused to lend color in the setting.
 The particular merit of the prod1c- ton, however, centers in the quan- tity, quality and versatility of the per- formers themselves, who have been collectively and correctly termed an 'tAll-Star Cast" In diaoIgJIe, panto4 mime, song, dance, and Specialties of various kinds, probably no show en- tering Bridgeport this winter oRer4 such a variety.
 George Stone as 'Bum Sykes" as a laugh maker Is supreme. Billy Baker, as Bud Sawyer Is not behind him in talent, and the pair kept the audience in uproar. William Dobbs and .Tosia Kline are character artists with a comic penchant which shows leaders in their line.
 There are six speciality dancers. In a Barbary coast sensation, EeaturfnH George Stone and Etta Pfllard, and ir- cluding Billy Baker, Augusta Nathan. Al Raycob, Fern Terrier, Jack Piilard and Este11a Sylveria, the spectators last night were treated to a whirlwind of action.

Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 30. is now an assured fact, formal entry of three Mercer cars, with De Palma heading the team, having been re- ceived by the Speedway manage ment.
 De Palma was in Indianapolis sev- eral weeks ago and engaged garage accommodations for the Mercer team. but the entry blanks were not signed by the Mercer Company at that time. The present entry includes two cars of 447.9 cubic inches piston displacement. with a bore and stroke of 4.SX6. 3-16 inches, and one car of 299.7 cubic tn- ches, with dimensions of 4.37x5 Caleb Bragg and Ralph De Palma will pilot the first two, while Spencer Wishart will handle the third. All of the cars carry four cylinders
 The delay in the entry of the Mer- cer team was made necessary by the fact that the factory engineers first wanted to give the 447.e inch motors thorough try-out before definitely pinning their faith to them. The largest the Mercer people have raced heretofore have been cars of the 299.7 classification. This is the size Hugehs piloted to g. third in the Indianapolis race last year.

JOHNNY KILBANE
 IS 24 YEARS OLD

John P. Kifbane, who will soon de- fend his featherwefght title against Johnny Dundee, will pass his twenty fourth milestone to-day. Johnny was born in Cleveland, O.. April IS, 1SS9 of Irish parents, and there Is a family tradition that his ancestors several centuries back were kings in Ireland. Owing to the blindness of his father, Johnny had to begin fighting the world at a tender age, and was employed as a switch-tender and later as a clerk in a railroad office. Jimmy Dunn, now his manager and, formerly a good lightweight, introduced Kiibane to the fight game and he engaged in his first -eal bout late In 1907. He was the vic tor, and his winning streak continued until Feb. 9 of last year, when he took the featherweight title from the old veteran, Abe Attell. Johnny has wife and two children and is a home-loving chap with no bad habits. On this subject Johnny says: T ad-
 se all boxers to get married. It will cure them of tendency to lead a fast life.'' True for you, Johnny. And if any added proof is needed, there is the case of Kid Mccoy, who. although now in his fortieth year. Is still able to put up a mighty good fight. And the Kid has been married eight times!

When I ar rived in Hannibal, along with numer- ous other ambitious youths, I found the town rather dull, and sighed for amusement. Good old Jake thereupon explained to us that a certain moving picture show was the best ever, and that we shouldn't miss it. So we all trooped down there, and gave up 10 cents each for an awful bunch of films. As we filed out, we saw Jake in the box-office and learned that he was a half-proprietor of the institu- tton.
