How About Larry chappeII-cubs
Meet BTaVes-Tots Lose.

What is the real condition of Larry
Chappell? ~
That isn't a catch question, and the
answer isn't concealed in the next
paragraph, to be sprung when you
are all muddled up trying to solve
the puzzle.
Ten days ago report was given out
that Chappell would not be available
for active duty this season. He was
supposed to have discarded his
crutches, but still walked lame.
A few days later a story came out
of Jerseyville, ILL.,, the home of the
outfelder, which said he was in con-
dition, and only needed some prae-
tce to reach playing form.

Australia won the right to meet
Germany in the semi-final round for
the Davis international tennis cup
yesterday at Onwentsia when Widing
and Brookes defeated Powell and
Schwengers, the Canadians, in
straight sets, GA, 6-3, Ga.
The Canucks played we'll together,
but were powerless against the
smashing work of Wilding. Brookes
was off form in the first few games
of the initial set and the Canadians
took four of the first five games.
Then the Antipodeans worked togeth-
er and won five straight and the set.
Thereafter they we're never in danger.
In all departments of doubles play
Wilding and Brookes excelled.
Their game, however, must be
much improved if they reach the.
challenge round and meet McLough-
lin and Bundy, the Americans, who
from long practice together work as
a weIl-oiled machine.
Though the match is settled, 80 far
as the effect on the cup trials is con-
cerned, Brookes will play Powell and
Wilding will meet Schwengers this
afternoon.

weight, has been offered three fights

this country which will keep him

Millionaire Post Suicides

Santa Barbara, CAL, May 9.-With a
bullet from a rifle he had previously
concealed in his apartment, Charles
w. Post, the millionaire manufacturer
of cereal foods and national propa,
gandist against union labor, killed
himself today at his winter home here
Evading a trained nurse who had been
attending him since he returned from
the East few weeks ago, he went to
his apartment, placed the muzzle of
the rifle in his mouth and kicked the
trigger with a toe. The top of his
head was blown off.
Mr.. Post was convalescent from an
illness which necessitated a major op-
GRAFTON two months ago at Rochester
MINI. At the time he was hurried
across the continent in a special train
so that he might arrive at Rochester
in time to save his life.

How the LANGUAGE Grows

This is an age Of great language
growth. There are so many new
things in life that new words have to
be devised to express common new
ideas.
The automobile was the first of
these recent agents for the enlarge
ment of speech. The word "automo.
bile" itself was vigorously condemned
by purists as a mongrel, an impossi-
BILE combination of Greek and French.
But Automobile" has stuck and is now
a good dictionary word" And a score
of other words have come in its wake,
and are in everyday use.
Aviation brought its enrichment,
and so did wireless telegraphy.
And now, last, but by no means least
the cinematograph is fast supplying
for itself the words needed to express
cinematograph ideas.
OF all barbarous linguistic inven-
tions the word movies" is perhaps
the worst. 1t has not yet passed be-
yond the slang stage. But it is used
every day by thousands of men and
women, and this is what makes words
good. Its future may be considered
as reasonably assured, for it is the
only short word which has yet been
devised for the motion picture. AS
soon as good usage sanctions it "mov-
les" will cease to sound barbarous.

Forage From Weeds

We have long been told that a
weed is simply plant out of place.
Gradually we find out what weeds are
good for and have new plants of ser.
vice. Sweet clover has been consider
ed an intolerable nuisance on many
a farm, but grown for hay. cut and
cured at just the right time it has
proven to be a most excellent fodder.
Farmers in Kansas have been great.
ly troubled with soap weed. Now they
ship 1t in car load lots to St. Louis
where it is utilized in various ways.
principally in the manufacture of
ointment and lotions.
Russian thistle has been one of the
most difficult Of weeds to eradicate.
Now it is known that it. too. has its
use. 1t makes the finest kind of feed.
Most of us know how fond horses are
of the ordinary thistle with blue flow.
er. not only in the green state. but
cured with the hay. We cannot ex.
pect animals to take kindly to Russian
thistle when the points are hard and
sharp, but at certain stages of growth
it is really fine food.

terms as president sets out upon the
hard task of exploring the planet.
With all the eager enthusiasm of
youth he plunges into the depths of
the African jungle, and between con-
tinental explorations finds minor ad-
venture in a strenuous and unsuccess-
full campaign for the presidency. Now
he emerges from the trackless jungle
of unexplored Brazil, where he traced
for a thousand miles the unknown
headwaters, of a great river, emerg-
ing alive and sound from hardships
and perils that drove to madness one
of his party and drowned another in
the whirlpools of the angry river. Five
of their seven canoes were sucked
down in the turbulent rapids.
And here he is, eft as a fiddle" to
make another race for the presidency,
lead regiment, brigade, a corps or
a division in Mexico, write several
books or race off to Tibet or the un-
explored depths of Borneo. He is the
worlds most virile and interesting per-
sonality. Even his critics must con.
fess him that.-Spokesman-Review.

One Way Of Burning Water

Dry coal does not produce as much
heat as coal that is considerably
damp. 1t is, of course, fact that
greater heat makes the fuel more
valuable and it is essential to know
how to secure the most from ordinary
fuel.
Coal that is to be burned in fur
mace, stove or a crate for immediate
heat will produce nearly one-fourth
more heat when wet than when drv
Coal that is to be placed in stove
can be soaked in pail of water for a
half hour, and the heat will be in
creased nearly one-half. This is done
in cases where the humps are used
in stoves tightly closed, such as those
known as alright furnaces.
Several pals of water thrown over
ton Of coal will increase it's value
greatly to the consumer.
Coal will burn briskly in wet and
almost airless mines, and it is said
the heat is intense.
When there is fire and the coal
pile burns, it is difficult to drown that
portion of the fire with water.
We might as we'll secure little of
the heat stored in burning water as
to permit it all to go unused.

Settlers Receive Patents

Washington, May S.-Secretary
Lane of the interior department dur
ing his administration has taken
much interest in matters affecting
settlers on the public lands, and it
has been his endeavor. and that of
Commissioner Tallman of the gener-
al land Office, to avoid. wherever pos
sible, any unnecessary delays, occa.
stoned by technical objections or 9th.
erwise, in acting upon land claims, of
homesteaders and others. The effect
of this is somewhat evidenced in the
fact that during the period from July
l, 1913, to April 25, 1914, 40,125 en-
tries were approved for patenting by
the public lands division of the gener-
al land Office, this being an increase
of $4,370 over the like preceding per-

THE STRENUOUS COLONEL

Roosevelt is IS. The average age
Of "a prsidents, Washington to Nc.
kinley, was 6S years months and Is
days. Had Lincoln, Garfield and Nc.
Kinley been spared by the assassins s
hand to round out their natural lives
the average would be greater, prob
ably 70 or more.
Our only ex-president therefore has
a reasonable expectation Of Is years
OF vigorous existence. Since he is a
rugged wonder, his span of life may
carry him to so, the age of John
Quincy Adams at death, or SO with
Jefferson, or IS with Madison, or even
80 with John Adams.
Proof that Roosevelt is rugged
wonder is found in his extraordinary
mental vivacity and physical vigor
after the strain of seven years in the
White house. His amazing strength
is without parallel in American his
tory.
Grant, we believe, was the only ex.
president to tour the world after two
terms in the White house. Washing
ton was weary and longed for the
peace and quietude of rural life. John
Quincy Adams wrote much in retire
ment. Jefferson interested himself in
education and founded a college. Jack
son retained his party's leadership.
John Quincy Adams went to congress.
TYLER was in retirement from 1845 to
1851, and then became president of a
peace conference and served in the
Confederate congress. Fillmore COM
manded a corps in the civil war.
Johnson served a short term in the
United States senate.
But all the other ex.presidents went
into quiet retirement. None of them
even measurably approached the
strenuous after achievements of Col.
who seems as young at IS
as most men at 80, and after two
