BRILLIANT TENNIS MATCHES
FEATURE DISTRICT TOURNEY
Ballard Moore Winner in Semi-Fiinals of
Mems Singles, and Gore and Treanor
Win in Mems Doubles.

Hard fought tennis battles figured
in the program yesterday afternoon on
the courts of the Dumbarton Club,
where the District championship tour
nament is being played. The semi
finals Of the mems singles and doubles
and a match in the women's singles
created a great deal of enthusiasm,
the large gallery almost continually
applauding the excellent work OF the
contestants. The downpour of rain
today tnsures the tournament going
over into next week, and II the courts
remain soft over Sunday it will be
next Saturday before the final matches
are played. The committee has been
hustlipg ever since the tourney open
ed, but with only seven courts and the
big list Of entrants unusual time has
been required to run of the different
groups.
The feature match yesterday after
noon was that between Ballard Moore
and Gould Lincoln. the former win
ming 6-3 and 6-1. Moore could not be
beaten by Lincoln's steadiness. as he
played brilliantly and had the edge
on the latter practically from start to
finish Lincoln belongs to the come
back" class, and his playing III TINS
tournament demonstrates that he is
almost as good as in the olden Gays.
Moore always carried the battle to Lin
coin, disdaining safety work or any
sort, and as he is at the top of his
game, there was nothing to 1t but an
easy victory, although there was no
loafng on his part.

ing into three sets by the score of
6-4, 81 and 81. The pairs are
almost equal in playing ability, and as
result the lucky shots from service
carried the match with them. Gore and
Lincoln did the directing of their COM
panions, and the match reminded one
of battle from the way the men
shifted play or backed up each other.
Both these veterans did the steady
work, with Treanor and Howard
showing off when brilliant shots were
necessary to score points.
The gallery that generally gathers
along the bluff overlooking the courts
punched itself around this match. and
every play was followed with the
deepest interest.

WAR FARMING.
Women Work In Fields In the British
Isles.

Women Work In Fields In the British
Isles.
The shortage of farm labor in Eng
land is causing increasing unrest in ag-
ricultural circles.
In some cases the scarcity of farm
hands is not SO serious as the lack of
horses. The lack of male labor is be-
ing filed so far as possible by the use
of female and child labor.
In the dairy and in the care of small
stock it is likely that male labor will be
almost entirely dispensed with. Much
Of the lighter field work also is being
done by women, and in the market gar
dening districts they may be seen in
large numbers at such tasks as weed
ing and setting plants. On some of the
smaller holdings they have even under
aiken the rougher work of blowing and
-.ultivating.
Some of the agricultural colleges
nave organized short courses of in
struction for women who are willing to
enter farm work. The course of in
struction includes milking, dairy work,
live stock. poultry, preparation of land,
use OF tools, planting and cultivation.
The course reviews eight hours work
daily for fourteen days.
Wages throughout the farming dis
tricts have advanced sharply, the aver
age increase being about 81 weekly.

Thanksgiving Day

Today is Thanksgiving Day
and is being celebrated as such
throughoutthe United States and
it's possessions. This year the
day should be made an especial
one for Thanksgiving and praise.
The people of the United
States have much to be thank
full for. While many Of the
nations of the world are at war
this country is seeing continued
peace and prosperity. Crops
have been bOuntiful permitting
this country to succor those
of the world who are in want,
brought about by the ravages
of the war. To be able to do
this bless ing in itself.
Our country and city is in a
prosperous condition. Pros
perity in Washburu never was
greater and the people of this
city should gather in the
churches and homes today and
offer up thanks to Almighty God
for his manifold blessings.

The Hi h Sign

If you should happen to meet
somewhere in the loop district of
Chicago two apparently rational
human beings who. upon sighting
one another begin to make hypnotic
passes, and who upon approaching
each other, proceed to rub noses,
or bump foreheads, do not on that
account jump to conclusions. Any
thing is plausible in this jumbled up
old work.. These are not escaped
maniacs from the asylum; neither
are they actors in moving picture
drama. They are only members of
the latest secret society. For you
must know that since the Sunday
closing law has been enforced in
Chicago, it is necessary, unless one
is to 60 thirty, to belong TO society
preferably a secret society, and
thereby to obtain special dispense
ton. Thus, because of this little
loophole in the law, secret organize
tions without number have been
springing up in the windy city.
Among the latest to apply for char
tiers are the Royal Sons of the Ump-
balluzums, the Imperial Order of
the Sacred Camel, the Rumtetum-
tums of the Sahara Desert and the
Immortal Sons and Daughters of
Howdryiam. The sacred password
of the inner circle is Here's How.
Chicago s motto, it will be remem-
bered, is Il will" The motto of
these organizations is Il dent care

TURKEYS for Employees

AS is usual at this time of the
year the Embellishments
company will again make their
employees happy today by pre-
senting each employee with a
fine. fat Thanksgiving bird.
This is a practice which was
adopted by the company years
ago and which has been followed
up each year,

RAISE THINGS

It was no trouble for our fore
fathers in this country to raise
things. They had new and
opulent soil ON which to raise
them. The crudest preparation
of that soil, the most careless
treatment of the plants, could
not prevent a harvest. Things
are different now. The old meth
DDS were all right then, but to-
day they mean poverty-still
poorer soil and impoverished
tillers of it. But there are ways
by which the soils reduced by
generations ahead of us can be
restored to usefulness. And
there are ways by which this
restoration can be accomplished
while the land pays for it. Be-
fore We give up any land that
was once fertile let us look into
these things to see whether it
cannot be made productive again
and at the same time raise
things to pay the cost.-NatiOnal
StOckman and Farmer.

WOUNDS ON ANIMALS.

Methods of Treatment to Prevent In
lection by Worms and Flies.
When an animal is wounded it is i'm.
pOrtant TO treat the wound in such q
way as not to prevent its healing and
yet to prevent screw worms and house
flies from attacking the open surfaces,
laying eggs or carrying infection to the
animal.
The department of agriculture in a
bulletin on repellants for protecting an
imals from the attacks of flies quotes
the following formulas for application
to wounds:
Formula No. 1.-Oil of tar, eight
ounces; cottonseed oil to make thirty
two ounces.
Formula No. 2.-Powdered naphtha-
lin, two ounces; hydrOus wool fat, four
teen ounces. Mix into an ointment.
Formula No. 3.-Coal tar. twelve
ounces; carbon disulphid, four ounces.
Mix. Keep in a well stoppered bottle
and apply with brush.
Mixtures Nos 2 and 3 are said to
adhere to moist surfaces, and No. is
said, in addition, to form a coating
over raw surfaces and protect from the
screw worm fly.
The editor at the close of the article
in which the above formulas are given
adds the following formula: Oil of tur-
pent.ne, one dram; phenol, one dram;
cottonseed oil to make four ounces.
Mix and apply freely to wounds.
1t is stated that this remedy is high
ly effective and is used widely in the
south. 1t is said to induce healthy
granulation of wounds.

Discovery of Turtle Soup.


According TO some authorities. Brls
FOL has a special claim to fame as the
city where turtle soup was invented
by a seventeenth century mayor, who
was also shipowner. The captain OF
one of his ships brought home i've
turtle. thinking that his worship would
like to have it in his tishpond. Thls
happened just as the mayor was about
to give civic banquet, and, deemlng
that his guests. might appreciate q
new dish. he ordered the turtle to be
stewed. The corporation was SO de-
lighted with. the novelty that it re-
elected it's host to the municipal chalr

Never Deceive an Animal.

Never Deceive an Animal.
In Farm and Fireside appears the
following advice as to the training OF
animals:
"You never can train a colt. a calf.
or any animal. wild or tame. unless
you gain its entire confidence and at
lection. To do this you must never
deceive it. not even for fun. and al
ways protect it and show that you
love it.
1.-The way to a maE's heart Is
through his stomach. and the road to
the affection of an animal is by way
of its taste
can apple, a bit of tender grass or
some tasty bit will soon make friends
with it, and kind words and petting
will make it a loving and obedient
friend"
