the season opened and Buck handed
out numerous interviews about what
he would do if his terms were not
met by the Sox management.
At last the Feds and players seem
to have adopted a~line of battle that
will result in victory for them, even
though the cases are taken to the
courts. In two or three suits the ten
day clauses have been held invalid be-
cause of lack of mutually.
That would indicate the players
had the same right as the owners to
invoke the ten-day law. -..-..
But until they are absolutely free
agents the Feds will not sign them.
There may be verbal agreements, and
every player who hands in his ten
day notice undoubtedly has some
kind of working agreement from
the Feds. But the fact that no con-
tract is signed relieves the Feds from
all responsibility to the club from
which the player leaps and damages
cannot be recovered.
A big movement is afoot. President
Gilmore says that 40 stars of the old
er leagues are involved. Certainly the
Fed hackers are not going to stop
now in their efforts to make the new
venture success.
They have enjoyed certain meas
ure of prosperity, but in two or three
cities the results have fallen below
expectations. Stars will be needed to
bolster up these teams.
In ST. Louis the Feds have suffered
in the patronage race because of the
surprising showing of Branch Rick
ey's Browns. The Cards also have
been playing improved ball lately, and
the Feds must recruit some players
of high caiber to Offset the attrac-
tons of the two older clubs.
Kansas City has not been draw
ing any too well, and Brooklyn has
suffered in comparison with the
Dodgers, though the wheel of for
tune is beginning to turn toward the

and Baltimore have exceeded ex-
pectations, and Buffalo has pulled
better crowds than the International
League team in the same city.
Take some Of the real stars from
the old leagues and place them with
the third circuit and the pendulum of
patronage will swing to the Gilmore
band.
Chase's detection here will be ruin
Gus to whatever hopes the White Sox
may have enjoyed. There never has
been a hope of winning the pennant,
but there was a chance for the team
to finish in the first division Take
Chase away and that hope vanishes.
Not only because of the ability of
Chase himself, but because of the eff
feet he has on the other players in
improving their game.
Pull either BIackburne or Weaver
out of the inf1eld also, and the best
pitching staff in the world won't be
able to win more than two games in
ten. XIX
Throughout yesterdays game be-
tween the Sox and Athletics could
be seen the effects of this Chase
transaction. The athletes. played as
though their minds were on the fu-
ture, deciding what they should do if
tempted by Federal League money.
Weaver, Chase and Blackburne all
made errors on chances they usually
eat up. That could be accounted for
as an ordinary break in the luck.
But the nervous, excitabIe way the
athletes went about their afternoons
toll couldn't be ascribed to the same
reason.
1t is understood that Chase will go
to Buffalo, though he has no signed
agreement to that effect. But when
the ten days are up he will make his
decision.

sary of the Feds among the Sox play

TO THE DEFENSE OF THE SKUNK

Washington, Dec. 29.-The skunk
was today added to the list of natur-
al resources, which should be con-
served or protected before exterminat-
ed, the Department of Agriculture
classifying this animal as of great
economic Importance" in statement
made public today, and asks that it
be given the same protection that the
Federal agents now are compelled to
exercise in the prevention of bird
slaughter.
Some of the most destructive in
sects in agriculture are such as do
their work below ground and out of
reach of any method that the farmer
can apply, and it is against many of
these that the skunk is an inveterate
enemy the statement asserts. Not
outstanding all of this" it contin-
ues, there is probably not an ami
NAL that is as ruthlessly slaughtered
as is this one"

Baltimore.
Miss r. A. Firor, assistant teacher in
Thurmont High School, and Miss Marion
Firor, junior at Hood College, are
spending the Xmas recess at their home.
While the inclement weather of Xmas
night prevented many from attending
the Xmas service at the Lutheran church,
those present enjoyed the interesting and
we'll rendered program. During the even

On Christmas eve the Xmas service of
the Sunday school of the Reformed church
was held. The old church looked beauti-
full in its Xmas garb. The service used,
1.-THE Day of Wonder" was brilliant and
inspiring, and the entire service well rem
dered. Both the pastor and wife were
generously remembered by the Bible
Glasses in the school.
Xmas night at St. Stephens Reformed
church, Highfeld, Rev. Firor held the
regular Sunday school Xmas service.
Despite the weather, large percentage
of the school, enthusiastic and happy,
was present and rendered most excell-
ent program. AS Xmas remembrance
to the pastor the Congregation and Sew
ing Circle gave-the one an Eagle and
the other Double Eagle coinage of 1913.
Services were also held at st. Johns at

Disagreeable Weather.

Weather conditions spoiled the plans
of many people last Thursday, Christmas
Day. All morning the clouds were very
heavy, and after dinner rain began fall
ing heavily and continued we'll into the
night. The temperature changed to
cooler, causing the rain to take the for m
of snow, and Friday morning the earth
was covered with light coat. On the
mountains to the west the snow was
about two inches deep. Except that on
the mountains, no snow could be seen
here Friday evening.

Christmas At The Churches
Large Attendance At All Sun
Col,J NnInhnof iNnc

Udy OCllOOl OOAEui NOAVAio'
The Sunday Schools Of this place cele-
brated Christmas in the usual manner,
each having very good program. The
music was bright and catchy and full OF
the Christmas story, peace on earth,
good will to men,"
The decorations in the churches were
very simple, but pretty. The custom OF
making hundreds of feet of wreathing
has passed, and the placing of branches
of pine about the auditorium of the
church is now in vogue. This requires
much less work in getting ready for the
Christmas festival and is easily gotten
rid of afterward.
The little children performed their re-
spective parts perhaps better than usual
and made everybody feel happy.
The last of the entertainments was
held in the United Brethren church Sun
day evening, it being necessary to post
| pone this service until that time on &C;
count of the very disagreeable weather
last Thursday evening, the date previous
" announced. The church was crowd d
to its capacity, and the recitations and
music was particularly well rendered.

Warning Against The Use Of
Second Hand Potato Sacks
Powdery Scab and Other Dis
eases May Be Carried In Bags.

The Department OF Agriculture has
issued special caution to all Ameri-
can potato growers against the use
| Of any second hand British or Euro
pcan p,tato sacks unless such sacks
have been thoroughly sterilized since
they had contained or come in con-
tact with foreign potatoes.
The reason for this is that recent
inspections have furnished ample ev-
idence of the presence of number
of the most serious potato diseases
among importations of that staple
from Europe. These include the late
blight disease, silver scurf, both dry
and soft rots, common scab, and the
powdery scab.
The germs Of these diseases, the
specialists find, may be and undoubt-
eddy are carried in the sacks in which
potatoes have been imported from
Europe. The sacks therefore pro-
vide a source of infection to Ameri-
can grown potatoes packed in them.
1t appears that there is consider
able trade in such secondhand foreign
potato sacks between dealers located
chiefly at the Atlantic ports of entry
to the United States, and especially
in New York, and potato growers OF
the Eastern States.
In some instances, entire ship
ments from the great potato districts
of Maine to New York City have been
made in foreign, secondhand sacks.
Even though none of the imported
potatoes themselves were used for
seed purposes, which is not the case,
these diseases would none the less
surely, but more insidiously, be in
troduced and spread through this
traffic in secondhand potato sacks as
now conducted.
Farmers should require dealers tc
guarantee that the sacks have been
sterilized. Purchasers of seed pota.
toes should specify that the seed came
in new sacks or sterilized secondhand
sacks. Dealers can sterilize these
sacks before offering them for sale by
placing the empty sacks in tight con-
tainers in which live steam should be
injected for about an hour. Pur.
chasers of secondhand sacks can
protect themselves by following the
same procedure or by boiling them
for two or three hours in any avail
able vessel. Unless these precautions
are taken the use of new sacks eX-
clusively is recommended.

Draw Blood TO Cleanse.
Hopkins Men Then Put It Back
Without Stopping Heart.

Three doctors from Johns Hopkins
University, by actual demonstration on
living animal, showed to scientists at
sessions of the Federation of American
Societies for Experimental Biology at
Philadelphia on Tuesday of this week,
that it is possible to remove every drop
of blood, clean it of impurities and re-
turn it to the animal without interrupt
ing the heart beat.
The demonstration was conducted on a
dog. The demonstrators were Prof. j..
j. Abel, and two of his colleagues, Drs.
Rowntree and Turner, all OF Johns Hop
kins University, Baltimore.
In their experiment they had every
drop of blood out of the dog s body cours-
ing through coil of tubes whose con-
nected length measured nearly 80 feet.
Scientists who watched the demonstra-
ton in wonderment saw the entire circu-
lation of an animal going on in glass tubes
outside the animals body, the blood be-
ing propelled through the tubes by the
action of the animals heart, which never
stopped beating.
At the same time, by the use of salt
solution, through which the blood was
coursing, the blood was being purified OF
sugar, urea and all the diffusable mater
ials. By varying the solution and send
ing the blood through chemicals of differ
ent sorts other kinds of poisons can be
removed from the blood by the same
process.
Professor Abel and his colleagues would
venture no prediction as to the practical
application of their method. The demon
stration simply showed step in advance,
they said, and they did not care to dis
cuss its possibilities at the present stage
in their research.

Heavy Storm at MlddletoWn.

Last Thursday night very heavy wind
storm passed through Middletown Valley
and did considerable damage. Many
ladies attending the Christmas exercises
at the Lutheran church in Middletown,
left their hats in the church for fear of
losing them. Limbs were blown from
trees, doors t,rn from their hinges, small
buildings blown down, and electric light
and telephone wires rendered useless.
At Myersville and jefferson the wind was
also very strong.
