THE SQUEEZE PLAY.
Is Success Hangs on the Batter Hit
ting the Ball to the Ground.

Th.' squeeze play is one Of the pretti-
est in baseball when successful. When
II fails no play makes ball team look
more foolish. The play is best worked
with one out. runner on third and
run needed TO either tie or win the
game. Many Of the best base runners
when about to make the play create
the impression that there is no inten-
ton of pulling it by taking only a fair
lead of the base and standing still.
The very moment the pitcher starts
his Gloyememt the man on third tears
for the plate
If III any way the intention to use
The pay is tipped off or fOreSeen it is
an easy matter for the catcher to
break it up by calling for waste ball
that is SO wide of the plate that it is
impossible for the batter to buut it. 1t
is an easy matter to touch the base
runner out and make the team trying
the squeeze appear ridiculous. But a
successful completion of the play uSu-
ally puts the team in the field In the
air and makes them look equally fool
iSh.
The squeeze play does not call for a
hard hitter or Il good hitter, but 1t
does call for man with a good eye, u
fellow who invariably hits the ball.
even though it may not go safe. IL
The batSman hunts the ball in the air
an easy double play is usually the re-
suit. If he is able to keep the ball on
fair ground there is seldom a chance
to stop the run mt the plate. 1t is not
necessary to have fast man on third
to make this play, for most Of the play
depends on the ability of the batsman
to keep the ball on the ground.-Billy
Evans in st. NichoiE-.

The Magic Valley.

There's a music of the morning
That goes drifting softly by
When you wander in the valley
Where the blossoms never die
In the strange and wondrous valley
Where the summer wears its smile
While the other world is Swallowed
And is weary all the while.
1t is not a painted valley,
Nor a picture in a mist;
1t is lilac with young beauty
And agleam with amethyst
Is this valley, mighty valley,
Under such a wondrous sky,
Where the summers never ended,
AID the blossoms never die.
1t is in that land of fancy
Where the dreams of childhood roam
And in life forever after
We delight to call it home
For we long for it and wonder
When our struggles here shall cease
If we'll find it-fnd the valley
OF the everlasting peace.

TWELVE CENT COTTON
IN GRASP OF FARMERS


Clarence Poe, who edits the Pro-
gressive Farmer and who is one of
the best known agricultural experts
in the United States, is sure cotton
ought to bring twelve cents this fall.
He argues that if seventeen million
bale crop sold last year at planting
time at ten cents that ten million
or twelve million crop should be
worth all of twelve cents.
Mr.. Poe thinks every farmer should
hold his cotton. He argues that the
crop is from three to five million bales
short of the actual needs of the world,
and that every single bale of this sea-
sons crop will be consumed, in addi'
ton to millions of bales from last
years surplus.
The difference in price between ten
cent cotton and twelve-cent cotton is
matter of quarter of billion dol
lars to the farmers of the South, and
Mr.. Poe is sure that his plan will
save that enormous sum to the farm
ers. He urges that cotton seed will
bring high prices, and that if the
farmers of the South will hold their
staple, the higher price for cotton is
certain.
That quarter of billion spells the
difference between having enough to
live on and Astounding prosperity, in
the opinion of Mr.. Poe.
Escambia's small cotton CROP saves
the county from feeling any very d.
rect effect from the fluctuations of
cotton, but the south is too closely
united in its financial interests for US
not to read with interest the chance
the South has to make money on its
most valuable crop. The farmers
here would do well to heed Mr.. Poe's
advice until the market goes to twelve
,ents or higher-Pensacola News.

The Times Union is not satisfied
with the position of the Telegram on
the question of restoring the old stat,
US between the railroads and the
newspapers in which advertising was
exchanged for transportation SO that
the editors and their families could
rioe Tree. BY way of argument the
I.-U. says that it would be better for
the Telegram to leave out some of
lts syndicate stories and other not
metal miscellany and insert the rail
road time schedules as advertisements
PAID Tor in free rides, thus giving A
service of practical benefit to its read
ers and informing them at the same
time, thereby, that Lakeland was not
without railroad facilities.
The argument is plausible but not
valid. There should be no individious
class distinction in the general
policies of our great Transportation
companies, for if the editor can swan
ms newspaper space for free tickets
the merchant, the doctor, the LAWYER
the farmer and all other classes who
nave anything to exchange should
have the same right for the same
reason, and that policy would practi-
ccally destroy the revenues of the roads
from their passenger service. Nor
uoes the fact that the newspapers
should publish the time schedules of
the railroads, as the Times Union in
sists, affect this view of the case. The
newspapers should publish such sched-
ules, not as paid ads, but as a matter
OF news to the public, just as thew
publish the weather reports free and
much other stuff of convenience and
utility to their readers.
Of course the transportation is no
orlbe in the offensive sense of ma
word, to any decent, self-respecting
newspaper man, but there are brides
ana brides, and some of them are of
such character that there is no moral
in them and they take the
orm of a perfectly clean and respec-
able obligation which does not fear

nan need be ashamed. But, never

PUTNAM is TO BE y
CONGRATULATED.

That it is the desire of the people
of Florida to have complete system
of hard-surfaced highways, preferably
brick, is quite evident from the result
of the special district bond election
held in Putnam county on Tuesday
The election was carried by an over
whelming majority. The amount TO
be spent is $2Os,OOO, and if this mon
ey is wisely expended, the eastern
section of Putnam county will be able
within a couple of years to boast of
brick paved highways leading to all
important communities. Palatka will
be the center from which these brick
roads will radiate to San Mateo, Hast
ings and Federal Point. There is al
so included on the program the paw
ing of the road to Rice Creek in the
direction of the Clay county line along
the western shore of the st. Johns.
The result of the election is pecu-
liarly of interest to st. Johns county,
in that it means when the work in
Putnam is completed and the one-mile
stretch in St. Johns from the present
brick highway in Hastings to the Put
nam county line is also finished, there
will be a continuous brick road from
the st. Johns county line at Duval
right through to Palatka. This will
be great benefit to Palatka, and
while that city is not directly on the
Dixie Highway as it runs at the pres
ent time through St. Johns, it never
he less will attract a considerable
of tourist automobile traffic
hat would otherwise never cross the
st. Johns river. This, of course, is
'nly an incidental benefit. The great
st benefit that will come to Palatka
will be the patronage and the trade Of
he farming communities. 1t is safe
o predict that with the eastern half
f Putnam possessed of brick high
Ways, the west half will not be long

The recording of vibrations Of a
membrane was first accomplished by
Leon Scott in 1857. by the Invention Of
what he called 'phonautograph."
This is regarded as the precursor Of
the modern photograph. The actual re-
production of sound was first achieved
by Thomas Alva Edison in 1876 and
first patented by him in 1877. the pat
ent being dated in January of that
year There had been. of course, Sev-
eral experiments and improvements
between. The first method of recording
vibrations of tuning fork on the sur
face of drum was discovered by
Thomas Young in 1907. Alexander
Graham Bell and S. Tainter patented
the graphophone in 1885. Emile Ber-

Coffin Loaded With Booze.

Evidently the prohibition law is
being enforced in West Virginia with
diligence and effect. The shifts re-
sorted to by the thirsty of that COM
monWealth prove that the officials
are viligant and that booze has be-
come very, very scarce. We read
that few days ago a funeral party
arrived at a West Virginia railway
station with coffin, pail bearers,
flowers, two women in number
mourning, citizens in deep grief,
tears and crepe, all complete and
impressive. A grave had been dug
and awaited the supposed remains.
AS what may call the cortege was
crossing the station platform with
due solemity, the bottom of the
coffin broke and before the eyes of
the Mortified spectators there fell a
shower of quart bottles of assorted
liquors. The unexpected happened
and a most ingenious scheme was
defeated disastrously, all the mourn
ers and participants being put I'M
der arrest. We may assume that
hereafter collins going through West
Virginia will be held as contraband
of war until after inspection.
