 The Flag!

Does baseball-one step in rear of the constitution follow the flag?
 United States Marines Corps representatives say that it does. and old B B. is the greatest single factor in captivity tor the perpetuatlon of peace, according to their views.
 The bat, ball and glove form part of a Marines expeditionary equipment, and it has been said that he carries baseball paraph- ernalia in his knapsack side by side with imphments of a more serious nature. The Marines has been sent to all parts of the world on errands of duty, ano everywhere he has carried the irresistible game with him. But, unlike other missionaries carry ing the good words in dark places, he hasn't gotten him self into trouble through it, and he rates the glorious old pastime as 100 per cent efficient in the cause of peace.
 A grizzled old soldier of the sea-, who has played the game in every cline. gave expression yesterday to the following when interviewed at the Brooklyn Marine Barracks: Canned Caruso or the Symphony in F may have charms to soothe the savage breast, but when 1t comes to piping down a hostile hon. ore in his native lair, show him a man on third in the ninth inning with two down, and the score a tie. We've done it in China, Guam, the Philippines, Alaska and everywhere that a man may go. and it has always made for peace. Give your Uncle Samuel a few thousand more Marines with plenty ot good baseball players to fill the ranks, and the warning nations of the world will be cemented closer together with the bonds of true sports manship. ,

Conserve Your Moisture

Denver, Colorado, October :
- Expression of regret at tn.
war and strife in Europe which
he declared were "emphasiz'D
by the absence from our couu
ellis of delegates from certain
European countries were eN
pressed today by Congressman
+. W Mundell, of Wyoming
president of the lnternationai
Dry Farming congress, in his
address at the opening of thu
thirteenth annual convention.
Mr. Mondell said scientific
methods of moisture conserving
alone will make farming uni
formly safe and profitable in
regions Of normally limited rain
fall,
More tnan half the cultivated
ana cultlVatable areas Ot on
country and of the earth,' hr
said, does not have normal
precipitation sufficient to insure
growth Of profitable crops except
by effective methods of moisture
conservation" "
The speaker stated his obser-
vations showed that best results
in dry farming regions are So
cured by scientih, methods OF
moisture conserving and biennial
cropping, He warned mis- hear
ers against neglect in these re-
spects, saying
Gambling never pays in the
long run, and it's hazards are
never greater than when one
stakes his enterprise ON the
hope that nature will depart
from her normal attitude in favor
Of his venture"

SAVED BY A SHELL

The captain, commander, torpedo.
lieutenant and another officer of the
Blucher only escaped going dowl
with their ship by most eNtraordl'
nary coincidence.
They were in the armored coming
tower when the vessel began to her
over from the effects OF the Britisi
fire. They were preparing to leay,
It, as she was manlfcstly sinking
when a shell struck it with such force
that the door iammed and could moi
be opened.
They resigned themselves tC
death, and. making a virtue of ncces
lity, were preparing to 20 down witt
the ship, when a second shell strucl
the coming tower and blew the tol
clean of. Thus a way was opene,
for them TO escape, thanks TO thei
enemy, Of which they availed them
selves.
In the long list Of semimiraculou
occurrences it would surcly be har.
20 find one 10 heat this.
