ing out Eddie Murphy in the seventh
round at Boston. Murphy did the
best work of the first two rounds, but
after that everything went to the Chi
cagoan. Murphy was practically out
in the sixth, and the seventh was
started over the protests of his
brother.
Boston fight followers were favor
ably impressed by the work of White.
Charlie made one of his very best
efforts. The only flaw in Whites
work is that he may make a very bad
fight his next time out.
Jimmy CIabby managed to shade
Al Mccoy in ten rounds at New York,
but the Hammond middleweight did
not make an impressive fight. In the 4
first two rounds he was wary of the
Brooklyn Differ, and kept away from
his mitts. He opened up slightly
from then on, reaching climax in
the seventh when he almost toppled
Mccoy with a right to the jaw. 4
The eighth was slow, but Mccoy
came again in the ninth and tenth
and made the Wlnd-up a Wh1rlW1nd
affair. The last two rounds contain
ed more fighting than all the re-
mainder of the bout.

This morning the Cubs were only
game and half behind the Phillies,
leading the National league. And for
the remainder of the week the locals
will have as opposition the Cincinnati
Reds, comparatively soft PROPOSE
ton, while the Phils will be Compel
ing with the Giants, who should be
due for a revival of spirit and bat
ting ability.
Bresnahan has unearthed three
pitchers to fight through this Cincin-
natl series, and it is possible that
George Pierce will also be available.
An order suspending him for throw
ing his bat at Pitcher Cooper of Pitts
burgh was expected from President
Tener, but it did not appear up to
noon.
Possibly Umpire Byron made full
report of the entire fiasco on the
West Side Monday, and the league
executive decided there was some
provocation for the bat singing.
If four of Bresnahan's pitchers
reach efficiency at the same time
there is no reason to fear a bad sea-
son for the West Side team. In every
other department it assays as high
as the average National league crew,
though that is rather left-handed
boost, as National league class this
season is nothing startling.
Cincinnati is without the services

down for five days for his fight with
Umpire Rigler in st. Louis. He will
be able to get into the flag end of the

and says he will take the matter to
the highest officials of the league to
have Rgler censured.

Better Farming Campaign.

The Be tier Farming Campaign was
sharply interfered with in Fayette
county last week by the heavy rains
which made 1t impossible for the speak
ers to meet all the appointments ar
ranged for them. The program called
for twenty five meetings and because
of the rains and consequent bad condi-
tion of the roads the actual number Of
meetings held was little more than
half that number. AS best we can
learn there were 16 meetings in the
county, including the two held in Som
erville, and there was lot of work
done that will tell in the work Of, far
mers and business men in the future
years. The talks were as much to busi-
ness men and to women as to farmers
and those who missed the meetings
suffer m aterial loss in that they lost
the gospel Of better farming and better
relations between the business men and
the farmers, and between the land
owners and their tenants.
The meetings in Somerville were not
largely attended but they proved most
interesting and helpful. One man who
heard Mrs. Mathis stated that her talk
was worth to the county more than any
ten farm talks made in the past decade
put together, and we do not hold very
different opinion on the question. She
is,a real farmer, now devoting some
time to the campaign in this section,
giving her ideas and plans which have
made her one of the most successful
farmers and one of the leading lights Of
the entire south in the development and
improvement in rural and farm condi-
tions. Some Of the results of her farm
The Fayette falcon. (Somerville, Tenn.) 190?-current, 1915-11-26

ing have been given in The Falcon re-
Gently and she related these experiences
in her talks at the court house last
week. She succeeded in taking one
renter who was $3.50 in debt and he
paid her nearly $1,000 in cash and clear
ed $1,000 on his first crop. Another
renter working As acres paid her in one
year $1150 and cleared about $1,000
These results are worth trying to equal
and there is no reason why any man in
the south can not approach them,
whether he equals them or not.
The campaign was worth what it
cost the county and many times more,
and its fruits will come in the increase
in agricultural development. in the in
crease in agricultural development,
in the increased interest in farm life
and in the better relations between
farmer and business man in the years
that are to come.
The speakers gave assurance that
this campaign will be repeated next
year, that plans are already making to
carry this same work on for four more
years and we want to invite them back
to Fayette county for every year and
we believe that the business men will
give better cooperation next year than
they did this year. We can double the
crowds at each meeting place if we
will only put forth alittle effort. Let
us move every possible citizen in the
county to give this kind of co-opera-
tion to the end that we may make Fay
cite county come out of the food-Luy-
ing and go into the food-selling class of
counties.

Space and copies of his paper go to
make up the newspaper mans entire
stock in trade. These two are all that
be has to offer for sale to the public.
and no one has as yet given any sort of
satisfactory reasons why he should
ever be asked by anyone to donate
them.
One thing newspaper people will
never be able to understand is why any
person will walk into newspaper
office and make himself or herself an
object of charity and insist upon what
they would disdain to ask for in any
other shop or place of business in the
town. The principle is the same in the
newspaper Office as in the dry goods
store, the grocery, the drug store, and
what great many people need is to
recognize it as the same and get off
the newspaper list.
Advertising space in the newspaper
is for sale, not to give away. II has 9
certain value in itself that makes 1t
worth money. Copies Of the news"
paper are for sale-not to give away. If
they are worth having, they are worth the
exceedingly small price asked for them.
The public, or at least large por-
tion Of it. has some very erroneous
ideas about these matters, and 1t is
but Just to the newspaper folks that
their ideas be corrected in accordance
with the same business principles that
prevail in all other business establish
ments.
In a vast majority Of cases this
generous charity on the part Of the
newspaper is blissfuIly taken for grant
ed and the papers liberality is abused.
That which is purely favor is accepted
as matter Of course, and what should
be requests are couched as demands.
When courtesy has been performed
there is rarely appreciation and more
often dissatisfaction generally silence.
The result in many other towns and
cities is that ban has been put upon
all free publicity. no matter what its
object-eyen upon church notices. In
these cities such favors as the press
bestows are properly appreciated and
valued. The Fourth Estate.

LONG TAILED YOKOHAMAS
COPYRIGHT. 1915.
BY Louis Paul Graham

This is one of the odd and rare but
highly ornamental races OF poultry.
Yokohamas We're originated in that
land where the natives delight in pro-
ducing extremes in plants and poul
try-Japan. 1t is probable that their
first importation TO England was from
Yokohama and they were conse-
quently so named. This is an Orien-.
tai game, bred especially for its great
length of tail, and in Japan these tails
reach the length of eighteen feet At
least two photographs, made in Japan,
have been produced, one showing
tale of eleven feet six inches in length,
and the other eighteen feet. Such
tails are never seen on the specimens
exhibited either in America or Eng
land, but they are often shown with
from three to siX-foot tails. This ex-
treme tail development is confined en-
tirely to the males, although the fe-
males have extra long and profuse tail
feathering, not exceeding that of
good. .LeEhorn hen to any great extent

in America, although some are exhib-
tied at the big shows almost every
season. The chief reason is that their
main use is as an ornamental fowl for
a country gentleman's home, but their
utility qualities cannot be mentioned.
The hens are rather poor layers of
small eggs IT is also very difficult to
keep the fowls and prevent the mag
nificent long tail plumage of the males
from being broken before attaining its
greatest growth. Males do not de-
velop their greatest length of tail un-
til their third year.
These fowls are bred in four colors,
silver and golden duckwings, spang1e
and whites and are rated as a very
hardy and vigorous fowl They do
best where they can get good free
range, the exercise and natural feed
doing much to keep their plumage
brilliant, which is not the case when
they are confined to yards. Yarding
also breaks the tails of the males.
At the present time these fowls are
rare, hard to obtain and command
good prices.
