gives the pitchers the practice they need
more than any other kind. Working
three or four pitchers regularly is the
right idea. Pitchers who only get into
the game once a WEEK or less are only
aforementioned for real work"
Miller Higgins thinks that he must
land three out OF every four games to
win the pennant md he feels confident
of doing it.
Some persons are wondering why the
participants in the clash of Boston and
Chicago players at the Windy City re-

the accounts in newspapers were greatly
exaggerated.
Il is said Joe Jackson has received

Doesn't Believe Stories
of German Atrocities

London Sept. l.---Arno Bosch, a cor
respondent of the magazine Worlds
Work. who went into Belgium some days
ago. arrived in London from Brussels
Yesterday, which city he left Thursday.
He said yesterday that John 7. McCutch-
con of Chicago, Irving Cobb OF New

Referring to the military situation in
Belgium Mr.. Bosch said
"The German auto trucks are mar

right through hedges and wire fences,
if the roads do not suit the drivers.
These trucks are heavily armored and
they are able to resist anything except
artillery fire. They enable the German
forces to make 40 miles q day. The
number Of these trucks seems unlimited.
at is estimated that 100000 German
troops have made their way through
Brussels, and that 100000 moved south
of Brussels. The troops which passed
through Brussels were later engaged with
the British forces. Only small de-
tachment of Germans was left in the
Belgian capital

horrible German atrocities reported from

am inclined to discredit most OF these

stories of Belgian atrocities, most Of

"This is the case in Brussels and else

children being killed because of their
having been found in buildings from
which shots had been fired.
From what / have heard I believe
the Germans have wedged into the al
lies and that they are not keeping a
straight front to the enemy. The line
of fighting from Namur south has been
a siege and nothing like what many
strategists have guessed.

FARM FACTS.

Where there is silo there is pros
perity.
There is not enough of the commun-
ity spirit among our rural districts.
The laws relating to business are
wholly unsuited to the transactions OF
the farmer.
The waste of effort through imprac-
tical methods of farming is the great
est tragedy Of the age.
Something is wrong in our market
ing system when a small crop brings
more money than bountiful one.
Cooperation between practical far
mers and proficient business mer will
eliminate ignorance and prejudice.
The nations menu must be made up
from the fields, pastures. orchards and
gardens, and to farm intelligently the
farmer must know what is needed.
We must give the same care and
consideration to a system OF corpora
tive laws, extending to the farmer the
facilities adapted to his business that
is now afforded corporations.
Farm tenancy is the greatest men
ace now confronting the nation and
can only be checked by affording the
tenant and the laborer facilities fol
acquiring property and by reducing
the high rates of interest which are
now sapping the vitality of agricul-
ture. So
Under the present system of market
ing farm products. it is possible and
