shown in the illustration given here.
One of them is Of white corduroy and
the other Of white satin. They are

Two Jet pins are thrust through the

The chinch Bug.

The farmers of Missouri should not
lose sight of the fact that this is ideal
chinch bug weather, and where old
bugs were abundant in wheat fields
during May there is danger that their
young will move into other crops
when the wheat is ripe and cut. 1t is
too late to fight the chinch bug after
it has left the wheat fields and gone
to other crops. Every farmer should
examine his wheat, and if the young,
red and black bugs are abundant he
should plan to fight the pest when it
starts to migrate.

The COW should be in good flesh at

six weeks. During the %pasturing sea
son there is no better plan than to
leave her in the pasture, of course
under observation, until the calf is
sorn. If the COW is kept at the barn
at calving time she should have a
roomy, clean stall where the calf will
not get navel infection from filth.

FEDERAL is BOON
TO LOW SALARIED

The Federal league has proven a
boon for athletes who were underpaid
by major league clubs. Such of those
as did not desire to jump from hither
to yon managed to pry loose substan-
1ial advances in salaries for 1914.
According to a man high in the af-
fairs OF the st. Louis Federal league
club, Manager NJ. Brown was very de-
eirous of securing Vic Safer, first
baselnan of the Cubs. Brown made a
journey to Michigan inc braved the
ice and snow to with Safer.

Last season Safer, rated the second
hest first baseman in the National
league, not aided and abetted by n
Federal league offers, received $500
for his excellent services. Brown Of
fered him $4,000 with the st. Louis
Feds, one years salary to be deposited
in the bank. He signed with the
Murphy for $500.
Easy money? Welt. there we're

San Francisco, Feb. 21.-After en-
joying a few years Of privacy that
prove soothing and comfort
ing to a man who has led a turbulent
career in pursuit of the bubble fame,
Bob Fitzsimmons is back in the swirl
of pugilism with both feet. .
He has crowded all Of eX.
periences in to a few short weeks. He
has applied for reinstatement as an
able-bodied fist finger and has been
turned down by boxing commissions
and courts of last resort He has been
knocked out by his own son. and has
in turn all but knocked out a white
hope by the name of Sweeney.
He declares now that, while New
York may bar its gates against him.
he will wander all over the boxing
circuit and will accept engagements
as often as they are offered him. He
seems to possess all the ardor that
was his when he landed from Aus
tralia with a slabsided carpet bag and
a huge pair of freckled hands q quar-
ter of a century ago.
What the future holds for Fitzsim-
mons it is difficult to say. but I'll war
rant a recital of things he does from
time to time will make interesting
reading. In addition to his other USE
full attributes, Bob was always a king
pin advertiser.

THINKS HE
CAN DO

kid Mccoy. considered one of the
%cleverest middlewcights who ever nut
ON a glove, has an idea thai he can
come back and display his old-time
form, the same as Bob Fitzsimmons
did h other night, when he met a
practically unknown heavyweight and
beat him up. However, Mccoy is
picking pretty tough game, for he
wants to meet George Carpenter, the
French champion, in a 2O-round fight,
the same to take place March II. 1t
may be that Mccoy is willing to take
his share of the gate receipts and risk
a beating from the Frenchman.
Mccoy has been out of the ring for
the past six or seven years, except for
an occasional squirt against some
mediocre fighter. Ee is no chicken
hy any means, Tor he was fighting in
1891. and is now 40 years of age. an
age that finds most fighters down and
out. The Kid has been a very careful
liver and has taken remarkable good
are of himself. even though he has
been travelling in high society, but it
doesn't seem possible that he stands
any show against the clever French
boy. who is also a remarkably strong
hitter.
If the fight is strictly on its merits
the chances are that the Frenchman
will score another K. o. to his credit.

There is a difference between the

knockout. He is always out to pro-

Since winning the crown Richie
has fought two battles He made Joe
