The Wisconsin tubers carried of

were shown at the Wisconsin con-

They won chiefly because OF the ex-

TINE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

The first message OF Pres. Wilson 10
the sixty-fourth congress was read on
Tuesday TO the house and senate as
sembled in joint session. In the main
the message is received with favor
The part that brings out the most COM
mendation is that denouncing hy-
phenated Americanism. It's para
graph that strikes a popular chord all
over the nation as does that para
graph which denounces p!otters
against our Industries.
The parts that will bring about the
greatest divergence OF opinion are
those regarding preparedness and
those suggesting ways OF raising
revenue. The main question OF pre-
psredness is not questioned to any
great extent; it's only the degree TO
which IL shall be carried and the
specific. methods to be followed in at
tanning II that will create differences.
True, some OF our prominent men are
decrying any preparedness but they do
not meet with any universal support
The sections on revenue will be the
big stumbling block On that rock the
parties will divide. President Wilson
felt that the hide bound policy OF tariff
for revenue. was the one he had to pur-
sue when he took Office and. under his
direction democratic congress lower
ed the tariff duties TO the lowest posi-
BILE point. In the year, or whereabouts,
that the nation existed under the low

being not only for the country at

"The interest rate under the pro-
posed system of the Hollis BILL" he
said, "would be arbitrarily reduced
and would lead to reckless borrowing
which, if continued, would increase
many times the billion dollars OF
mortgages now recorded against
farms. The striking from the tax lists
of this huge value together with an
equal amount of bonds, as is planned,
would have serious effect on other
taxable property and the farmers tax
burden would simply be shifted to
his live stock, implements and per-
sonal belongings"
Something very serious is the mat

ABOUT THAT OLD CONTROL
A Pitcher May Not Walk Single
Player and Yet Be Wild.

A Pitcher May Not Walk Single
Player and Yet Be Wild.
The other day one of the big league
pitchers went through game or big
part of it without walking man. Said
hurler was lambasted all over the lot
while he fingered on the hillock. That
night a bunch of bugs were discussing
the game.
"That boy sure had the control to-
day." said one. "He didn't walk a
man, he didn't hit anybody and he did
not have wild pitch"
"That's right" agreed the others.
"But he certainly was hit hard"
Well, as a matter of fact this hurler
didn't walk man and he didn't pitch
the baseball into anybody's anatomy
and he didn't throw any over the
grandstand. But he didn't have con-
troll. Not by couple of big jugsful.
Why? Because he was growing
the ball right where the enemy could
take that old toehold and fall on it.
He couldn't work the corners. When
a pitcher can twist the bulb so that it
will clip off an edge of that plate,
that's when he has control. When he
can shoot his fast one through there
first on one side of the pan and then
on the other and then right down the
channel with the old hop on them all
the time he's looking pretty good.
And if he can sandwich in a curve
ball that clips the corner with its
fast break and then slow one that
floats up all covered with deceit he's
bound to win ball game.
Control doesn't mean what most
bugs think. A pitcher can walk four
or five men and still have good con-
troll. Or pitcher can fail to walk
one and still be wilder than a hawk.
He doesn't have to throw the ball
away every time to show his lack of
control. Keeping the ball splitting the
plate is lack of control at times. It's
cinch that if finger is keeping the
ball in the alley the batter is going to
know what to expect. And if he knows
what to expect he can brace himself
and tie into the pill with all his force.
A pitcher who can put the ball
right were he watts it all the time is
the winning pitcher.

more of the same. But what are the
facts? The agricultural department
estimate is that there are now close to
q million horses in the United States,
greater number than in any other
year, except 1910. Since 1898 the
number of horses on the farms has in
creased so per cent in the interval,
while their aggregate value, which
reaches the huge sum of $2,200,000 900
has increased over four and one-half
times. The value head has grown
from $34 to about $40. That there is
room on this broad earth for both
automobiles and horses these Stats
tics prove.
