Seasons Averages

The base ball season, as far as for
eign teams coming in to play the To-
calls is concerned, Is now at a close
An analysis of the hitting and fielding
of the individual players of the Mt.
Vernon ball club reveals some inter-
esting things. To start with, Ned H.
ger, who has been a member of Mt
Vernon semi-pro ball clubs for the
past ten years, is the best individual
player, judging by his work.
Tiger batted 1850 and fielded .S13, the
average of which would be .636. Fig
uring in the same way, Thompson
comes second with .609 to his credit,
while Critchfield follows in with .567.
OF those playing in ten or more
games, Critchfieid leads in batting with
on average of 1865 and Tiger is second
with 800. In fielding, it was not neces-
sary to figure to know that Rene Mon
dron carried off the honors. Steady as

through. including songs. speeches,
yells, etc. AS the school progresses
and the pupils are assembled again and
again in the auditorium, they sing
their songs with more unity than ever
before. One reason that is productive
OF this, is the fact that now the differ
ont voices, sopranos, basses, etc, have
their side of the auditorium. This is
contrary to the system used a few
years ago, when all the pupils from
one room sang together. After sew.

its first victory of the season by a

snappy football almost impossible.
The first half was devoid of any scor-
ing whatever, each team taking the
ball in turn and marching down the
field, but, when within striking dis.
tance. both teams lacked the punch
to shove the ball over the last white
marker. In the second half, however.

game had hardly gone five minutes,
when Eastman picked up Utica fun

Captain Clayton intercepted forward
pass and ran seventy yards over the
goal line. Eastman, a new man this
year, starred at end while Jones at

running with the ball. This game

WIRELESS
Was In Operation On Crusoe's
Island
indianapolis News.)


Another cherished landmark of the
romance of literature has shed its
glamor before the onward march of
progress. For years the island of Rob-
inson Crusoe's exile has arisen before
our mental vision as place far re-
moved from the traffic Of ocean lanes,
place of mystery, tropical paradise
that knows the presence of no human
being, aloof, solitary, silent. Here
once the hero of Defoe's tale was cast
upon the sands, sole survivor of the
ship that lay battered and broken up
on the jagged rocks beyond the spume
of the surf. And here he dwelt, with
no companions save goat, dog and par
rot until Friday made his advent, and,
at last, the two were borne away by
passing brig driven far from her
course by adverse winds.
Now there comes from Chile by
cable the disturbing news that Juan
Fernandez, this island of Crusoe's, i'm
niortalized by Defoe, variously pic
tured by every reader Of the casta-
ways adventures and held sacred to
the stirring tales of the seas, is linked
to all the world by the invisible ten.
drills of the wireless. It is not pre-
cisely clear why wireless station
should be erected here, where once
the lonely Crusoe sighed for rescue,
but the record so has 1t and the mes
sage of the wireless speaks for itself.
Imagination must once more draw in
it's frontiers and retreat before the
force of fact.
We shall be hard put to it in the fu-
ture to feel the same interest in this
isle and in its ingenious and pictur-
esque inhabitant that once we felt.
II is no longer a place of mystery,
bathed In the sun of romance. 1t is
now two seconds from the coast of
Chile. Not even the glamor with
which the gifted pen Of Defoe invested
it can stand before hard and relent-
less fact like that. Juvenile readers
in the future will pause to inquire, as
did their fathers fathers, where this
island lies. But the answer they re-
ceive will not be the answer once re-
ceived. "A wireless station near
Chile" will come the dampening re-
sponse. Can Robinson Crusoe sur
vive that? And can the readers in
terest Withstand the crushing rejoin-
der? We fear for them both, and once
more we are inclined to the conclu,
sion that the only romance that pro-
gress tolerates is the romance of it's
own forward sweep.

CREDIT SYSTEM
RUINOUS PRACTICE

If there is any one thing that
is doing the southern farmer
more harm than another, it is
doubtless the credit system. On
May I of this year the cash price
of bushel of corn was "a cents,
and the credit price was $I.I3;
a difference of 10 cents in favor
of paying cash. Now, some will
say, what is the farmer going to
do if he hasn't the money but
get these supplies on time? In
the first place, the proper thing
is to grow these supplies. But
in case this is not done, it is far
better to borrow money and pay
9, 8 or even 10 per cent rather
than buy on credit on such a
basis as this.
There is no sense in a man be-
ing forced to pay 70 cents more
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1914-04-08

bushel for corn by reason OF
obtaining it on credit, to be paid
for six or eight months later,
writes the editor of Southern
Farming. Now, we have no de-
sire to unjustly criticize any man
or any set of men, but anyone
who will be perfectly sincere and
frank with himself will admit
that this is unfair to the farmer.
The merchant will doubtless
say that on account of poor col
lections and the great risk he
takes, he is obliged to charge
this much more. Yes, to a GER
tain extent this is true, but the
principal trouble comes in by too
many irresponsible shiftless ne
groes receiving credit along with
the better white farmer. 1t is
unfair for the good farmer,
whether white or black, to have
to carry a part of the burden of
the irresponsible, shiftless class,
whether white or black. A change
in this respect should be forth
coming, and will be sooner of
later, but it will have to be
brought about by the farmer
himself.
