THE DECLINE OF THE
SMALL COUNTRY TOWN.

Hickman is one exception TO the
rule, but the smaller towns of the
Middle West and South, or for
the matter of that, in most see
tions east of the Rockies, have a
smaller population than they had
ten years ago.
Illinois is a fair sample. That
State shows a decline of $4,000
people in the rural districts IN
the short space of ten years,
while on the other hand all of
the larger cities have increased
in population at an astounding
rate. Reflection ON that cOndi-
ton of the country suggests the
following questions which are
offered for the consideration OF
the ministry, social welfare, and
the economic and commercial or
CARNATIONS Of the United States.
Every clergyman, business and
professional man, every scholar
and teacher, should study the
subject from various angles.
Here are the questions;
lst-Why is it that many coun-
try towns east OF the Rocky
Mountains arc at a standstill or
going backward, and showing a
decrease of population during
the past ten years regardless of
the fact that many of them are
located in thriving agricultural
districtsf
2nd-Why is business in a ma
.iority of country towns OF the
Middle West stagnant or on the
declinei
3rd-Why is the younger gen
GRAFTON of people seemingly anx-
ions TO break away from the
country towns and flock in great
numbers to the larger citiesi
5th-Is the reported exodus
from the country towns TO the
larger cities now in greater vol
ume or more in evidence at this
time than in former years, and
if so, does it in your estimation
indicate a step forward or back
ward in the progress or healthy
growth of the nationi
6th-Are the young people be
ing driven TO the larger elites
through lack Of commercial OPP
portunity at home, or is their
dislike for country life attribut-
ed in a large measure to the
suppression Of all public amuse
ment places, and the lack of
mental and physical recreation
in the smaller townsi

This week Hon. r. g. Robbins
candidate for the Democratic
nomination for the office of Com.
monwealth S Attorney in the First
Judicial District, was in the city
mixing with the people. He was
in a most cheerful mood and ex
pressed himself as delighted with
his prospects Certainly there is
much in the political field TO give
him great encouragement Re
cent talks with commercial travel
ers and others, who take a deep
interest in the politics Of the dis
trict, and who are well posted as
to the true political conditions,
indicate that his nomination for
this important office is reasonably
certain. II is readily conceded
by all fair minded and well-posi-
ed men that he viii get a large
majority in his home county of
Graves, with It's five thousand
Democratic voters. He is also
very popular all over this county,
and it is manifest that he will ear
ry Fulton county by a handsome
majority. In each Of the other
counties he has an active and sub
stantial following. All over the
district the friends of the other
aspirants are saying that Guy
Robbins is the one their candidate
must defeat, If their favoriie is
To win. Therefore, the conditions
seem 10 point Enthusiastically TO his
nomination. The people will make
no mistake in electing this SPLEEN
did young man. He is an afable
and cultured gentleman, and is a
lawyer Of great ability, with ten
years experience in the general
practice. This is his first time
TO ask the people for their sup
port for any office. He is max
ing an active, manly campaign
and seeks the suffrage Of his fell
low citizens upon merit and quail
fieations only. II elected, the
people will have an honest, able
and fearless prosecuting aitor-
ney.

And this school changed the vocation of "Bill's' after life, for it was there he first became imbued with a love for baseball.
 Carrigan early exhibited skill in the popular sport and was selected as catcher of the high school team in his first year. He played four years on the Lewiston high school nine and then acquiesced in the desire of his par ents to attend Holy Cross college While at Holy Cross Carrigan made his impression on the big league scouts and especially those of the Red Sox, who in 1906 prevailed upon Carrigan to give up all other thoughts of after life for the padded mitt, bat and ball
 He played his first professional ball in the autumn of 1906 with the Red Sox, but, being inexperienced, was sent to Toronto the following year. He was recalled by the Red Sox in 1908 and was substitute catcher for that year. In 1909 Lou Criger, the vet eran, was released and Carrigan be- came the regular catcher for the Red Sox, playing that position in the worlds series against the Giants in 1912.
 He now enjoys the happy distinc- tion of being the only playing mana ger in the American league.

Superbattle dread noughts, bigger, faster and more heavily armed than any war craft now afoat or building and which will cost s1S,000000 each to construct and equip. will be recommended to Con- gross as a part of the navy building program for next year. Decision on this step was reached at a conference between President Wilson, Secretary Daniels and Representative Padgett, chairman of the House Naval Affairs Committee.
 Plans for this type of vessel as Is contemplated already have been pre- pared under the direction of Rear Ad- miral David w Taylor, chief construc- tor of the navy, and are being consid- cred by the secretary and members or the General Board. The number to be asked for this winter has not been de- termined.
 Cost of construction of navy craft has risen since the outbreak of the Eu- ropean war with it's enormous demand upon American resources. Some re- cent steel contracts for the navy show an increase of 30 per cent Dread noughts which also will be recom- mended for construction this winter will cost s1S,o00.o00 each, it is esti- mated, against s15000 900 for those now building. Part of this increase, however, is due to new hull construc- tion to provide greater protection against torpedo attack.

an opposing pitcher and Lewis steady hitting, brings them to a point of ex- cellence second to none. The Detroit outfield, Cobb, Crawford and Veach, may equal them in many respects, but they do not surpass them. Speaker, with his tremendous speed, can play a shorter field than any other center. Hooper and Lewis possess arms of steel and it behooves an opposing player to watch his steps whenever he makes what looks like a sure sin gle, or he may be thrown cut at first. Many f1elders may have as many as. sists at the end of the season as this trio, but that is because most Amer ican league baserunners know when and where to stop. The individual and team play of these three have been one of the most important fac. tors in keeping the Red Sox in the lead and eventually capturing the flag.
 Pitchers Worked We'll.
 Outside of the illness Of Wood and the sulkiness of Leonard, Manager Carrigan has not had to worry a great deal about his pitchers. Babe" Ruth, George Foster and Ernest Shore, Vean Gregg and Mays, have all done mighty well, not only in the box, but also at bat. Ruth has a batting av- craze we'll above the 300 mark. Joe Wood, the star of the string, is one of the rare individuals who does we'll ev- anywhere he attempts. He is a fine fellow personally and Is well liked by his companions on the club.
 The Red Sox, besides their strong outfeld and classy staff of pitchers. has an almost ideal infeld. Hoblit- gel, Barry and Gardner, are hard to beat and many blossoming base hits have been nipped in the bud by this quartette. And then, in case of acci- dent Gainer, Janvrin and Wagner are always on hand to fill any gap.
 Few interyiewers have ever been able to talk to Carrigan as to his suc- cess. He is not bashful, but his gruff, unfriendly manner makes him doubly hard to thaw out. Because of this. few characteristics of his have come to the surface. Off the ball field he is unusually silent and thoughtful.
 Carrigan has had an extra load to carry, as he was promoted to the lead ership of the Red Sox over his team mates, and in some cases he found others were not so certain that Carri- gan was the man for the job. He has had to contend with cliques, with less CT lights aspiring to his official head and with disgruntled players. But his roughshod methods have overridden all obstacles, until now he is recog- nized by players and fans" alike as the first man of the Red Sox.
 Took Up Baseball.
 He was born ir Lewiston, Me, thirty-three years ago, of a family of modest means, and was selected for a clerical vocation. It was impressed upon him that to succeed in this life he must learn the ways of the world. So Bill" dutifully allowed himself to be dragged daily to school.

Manager Bill carriean Lands His Ma chine on Top After Pretty Fight Credit Also Given to Star
 Outfielders.
Rr CHARLES H. CRowELLO

(By CHARLES H. CROWELL)
 After as pretty struggle as the most enthusiastic baseball fan could possibly wish for, the Boston Red Sox finally won the American league cham pionship for 1915. Up to almost the last game it was anybody's race, but few games separating the leader and tailender
 To Bill Carrigan belongs the credit. His earnest, aggressive and at times quarrelsome methods were of vast i'm portance in the long grind. The Red Sox got away to a poor start owing to sickness and injury, and it was not until the season was well advanced that the players got together. assumed the lead and once out in front they elung on tenaciously.
 When Jake Stahl was deposed as manager of the Red Sox the place was given to Carrigan, and since that day Bill has been making good in every sense Of the word. He is an exacting leader. He finds out what a player can do and then insists on that man doing hfs full duty. A sluggard has no business on that team. Carrigan has compelled his stars to work as hard as the recruits. He is a strict disciplinarian and will brook no in- reference with his methods.
 Kept Players on Toes.
 Starting the season with as classy a staff of pitchers as a manager could desire. an outfield that could not be beaten, and strong infield Carrigan Kept his men on their toes all the time. His college training gave him a fnesse and to some extent diplo- macy unexpected in one of such az gressive methods. To begin with, Joe Wood went wrong during last winter, and was slow in rounding to. Wag- ner. his star keystone sacker. was also fncapacitated. Dutch Leonard, his first string pitcher got in bad with President Lannin. but Carrigan over came all obstacles and finally landed his team on top.

AMERICAN JOCKEY WINS

The American jockey Archi- bald headed the list of winning riders in the summer meeting at Hoppegarten, Berlin, recently concluded, with seventeen frsts in forty-eight races. The victo- ries of the American rider were very popular and in racing at least there was no trace of anti American feeling. Second place was taken by Jockey Rasten- berger, riding for the Weinberg stables, for which Fred Taral. the old American jockey, is trainer. Rastenberger, who is serving with the German field artillery and was given a fur tough for the meeting, rode fif- teen winners in fifty-six races. Other German jockeys follow to the rear, the next rider, Plueschke, riding only seven winners.
