HORN
Has Been Pitching Great
Ball For Bethany
May Pitch For Locals During
The Summer

Rufus Horn, who. pitched great ball
last summer for the local Eagle team,
is making a remarkable showing on the
Bethany college team of Bethany, W..
Virginia. Last Saturday afternoon he
worked against the Muskingum col
lege team and did not allow single
hit, not even one of the scratch variety.
His team won, 3 to l. An error in the
first inning let the single score over for
Muskingum.
Rufus has been going great this
spring and is in tip top condition for
the season. 1t is probable that he will
be on hand to hurl for the local club
after the close of college. His work
will fit in here in excellent shape. His
prowess was fully exploited in a re-
cent edition of the Pittsburgh Gazette
| Times.

Washington, May 20-Withoat firing
q shot, General Jacob S. Coxey, and
his army of nine men, Tuesday took
possession of Georgetown, the West
ern part of the capital. Excepting a
march down Pennsylvania avenue,
which is planned for today, Coxey and
his army have completed their long
tramp from Massillon, Ohio.
The General" his wife and daugh-
ter rode in carriage at the head of
a band of commonwealers. At one
side of this modern war chariot rode
his son, acting as orderly when there
was any ordering to be done. Behind
marched the color bearer, a drummer
and bugler, while six privates, in
cluding recruit picked up at Gath
ersburg, Maryland, brought UP the
rear.
When the column arrived in the en-
virons of Georgetown, Captain
Schneider, of the metropolitan police,
rode out to arrange truce, so that non
combatants might be removed out oil
range of General" Coxey's threatened
oratory. Captain Schneider, with the
thoughtful courtesy characteristic OF
a great commander dealing with a
master of military strategy, assured
the Massillon veteran that the Wash
ington police would not allow the
army to be hurt or injured and
pledged his brass buttons that the
fiery denizens OF the capital should
not be permitted to displace SO much
as one plastered or cur,ed lock upon
the brow of any Of the gallant nine.
Captain SCHNEIDER took the army
under his wing, and thus assured, the
column advanced into the city, Its
colors flying, to seize a building for
barracks and fall upon whatever fooC
a boarding house afforded. Under per
feet discipline, the army marched tC
a boarding house and without the
slightest evidence of mutiny seizeC
upon Jn6 prOVeuuer tuero sOC ioA ~
Later in the day Coxey sailed fortt
among the conquered and addressed
them from street corner. A goodl!
crowd assembled and the General wen
at them hammer and tongs, preaching
good roads, the virtue of bonds whicl
do not bear interest and the wisdom
to be cleaned from little book whicl
could be had at rs cents, quarter

FOLLOWERS Of
ALL PROFESSIONS
WANT To TEACH

Santa Fe. Sept. 9.-That the pro-
fessions are solely overcrowded is
manifest by the many applications
that superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton Alvan n White is receiving from
professional men who want to teach,
Although salaries do not average $500
year. physicians. lawyers and theo-
logians find them quite desirable in
view of thre lack of patients, clients
and parishioners from whom to de-
rive an income. Today, applications
were received from two physicians IL
censed to practice in New Mexico. one
of whom has also a license to practice
in Texas and Oklahoma, while anoth-
er has a license in California, who ask
for a country school.
What a warning to parents" said
Superintendent White. who out of
false pride force their boys into pro-
fessions for which they have no
knack, while they are especially fitted
by temperament and ability to be me-
chanics or farmers. such boys in
white sleeve jobs are bound to be
failures. unhappy, unsuccessful. while
if they had followed their natural
trend and learned some honest trade
Of how to farm, they would be happy
and eventually well-to-do 1t is hoped
that the serious pursuit of vocational
training and instruction in agricul-
ture in New Mexico public schools will
rectify this evil of overcrowding the
professions with men and women who
would do much better along other
lines"
