Where does Dutch" Zwilling get
the force behind his bat that enables
the Whale center fielder to bag so
many home runs? Is a question the
North side fans frequently ask. The
only explanation Is the powerful
shoulders of the outfelder and his
easy swing Of the body which goes
with the bat.
Zwilling stands five feet six inches
and a trife over and weighs only 16O
pounds. He Is probably the most
feared hitter in the Federal league.
with the possible exception Of Bonnie
Kauff of the Brooklyn Tiptops.
Pitchers would rather give Zwilling
q free ticket to first base than to see
him lean on the ball in the last few
innings with his home team one run

of the confidence Of the electorate
of the District.
I am OF the opinion that the ordi.

The ordinance provides that:

employees OF said Sanitary District
and shall certify in writing to the
head of the proper department the
names of all such employees, stating
the positions to be filed and the COM

Thereupon it shall be the duty OF
such head of department and the
Clerk of the District to include the
name of such employe upon the pay
roll of the District"
Section 4 OF the statute provides
that the Trustees elected In pursu'
ance of the statute shall fix the COM
pepsation OF all officers and employees

Hay Caps the Only Recourse When

An up to date adage for the meadow
would run something like this, Make
good hay whether the sun shines or
not" says a contributor to the Country
Gentleman. The rule is to cut alfalfa
when the new shoots start from the
CROWNS of the plants. But whether
you follow this rule or start the mower
when the field is in full bloom you cut
alfalfa and clover and other forage
when it is ready and not when the
weather is ready.
The question is how to make hay
when the crop is ready and the wealth

only recourse that will enable the farm
