MEL SHEPPARD OUT
Of RUNNING GAME
Fell Wednesday Night at Madison
Square Garden; Tears Muscle
in Left Arm
By Hoban
Special to The Telegraph

New York, Feb. Is. - Melvin w.
Sheppard. one Of the worlds greatest
athletes, has run his last race. He
announced yesterday that never again
would he don racing shoe.
Sheppards retirement from the
sport he loved came as a result of the
accident that befell him at the New
York A. c. games at Madison Square
Garden on Wednesday night, when
board in the floor gave way and he
fell. severely cutting his left arm and
injuring his left knee cap. So serious
was the wound in his arm that his
physician ordered him to cancel all
engagements. According to the ply
sician. the muscle was torn away from
the bone and, fearing blood poison
ing, the wound was not sewed.
Was Worlds Champion
Until two years ago Sheppard was
the greatest middle distance runner in
the world. During his athletic career.
which began on August 2, 1902, he
won more than 1000 races and scores
of pionships, including metro
politan, military. national, Canadian
and worlds. lie now has more than
500 medals which he won in athletic
competition.
"Shep" ran his first race at Wash
ington Park, Philadelphia. So fast did
he run that experts predicted he would
quickly ueNelOp INTO II CudHlploh' IHe
prediction came true, for within a
few years he could defeat every man
in the world at any distance from 500
yards to one mile. He was also a
good quarter-miler and a crosSro% o%
try runner. After having competWd
for Brown Prep School, Sheppard
came to this city and Joined the irish
American Athletic Club and it was in
its colors that he won worldwide
fame. A year ago he quit the Irish
American A. C. and Joined the Mill

that would defend the cup.
The reason he advanced was that
the training necessary to perfect his
physical condition for the interna-
tional polo series was too severe, and
he did not care to undergo the ordeal.
But, with Whitney in the saddle
again next year, he may round into
form gradually, and thus lead up to
the possibility of his being one of the
American four who may challenge for
the cup in 1916. The date Of the chal-
lenge will depend on the continuation
of the war.
Whitney now has twenty-six polo
ponies in his winter training quar-
ters. This is the biggest individually
owned string in the country.

CHAMBERsBURG FOR LEAGUE

This Season


Chambersburg. Pa, Feb. 13.-Cham-

join the Cindue City League, which
will he composed of Hagerstown, Mar
tinsburg. Frederick, Gettysburg and
this place. Last year the three first
named comprised a tri-city league,
which played good ball and made out
well. 1t is entirely likely that big
league protection will be arranged for,
mainly because the stars of all the
five clubs went to big league clubs at
the end of last season and the local
bodies realized not a cent from their
sale. The salary list was set at a
maximum of $3.50 a month.

HOW TO ADVERTISE

Erie w. Allen, head of the depart
ment OF journalism in the state uni
versity of Oregon, in addressing the
citizens of Glendale, Ore, on the SUBJ
iect, THE Newspaper in Your Town."
said:
advertising in the country paper is
the best investment a country merchant
can make. The merchants advertis-
ing should be news. 1t should tell
something very definite about what the
store offers, and the copy should be
changed frequently. The advertising
columns should be made as interesting
as any other part Of the paper, and the
merchants 'ad' should appear with the
same regularity as the editors news.
An advertisement in the local paper is
by no means charity. 1t brings big re-
turns; first, i'm direct business when it
is handled with a little common sense;
second, in building up the community.
"The paper should be made as inn
portant an agent of towns improve
ment and prosperity as the church or
the school The great problem of the
small town in these days of centraiz-
alton and parcel post is to make itself a
good place to live in and a pleasant
place for the country people to come to.
If it doesn't do that it is doomed to
disappear.
"No town should be so shortsighted
as not to give every encouragement to
the man who is trying to make news
paper there. He is in one sense the
most important citizen. He can do
more for the town both at home and
abroad than any other one man. He
should be backed up in his effort to do
business at business prices and in
business way. 1t would be just as SEN
sible for you to let your schools run
down, as to let your newspaper run
down.. F."

CONCRETE AND TILE SILOS
ARE DURABLE WHEN
PROPERLY CONSTRUCTED

An anonymous booklet, evidently
prepared to discourage farmers from
building concrete and tile silos, has
recently been circulated in some parts
of the country. The booklet consists Of
photographs of cracked and collapsed
silos, and the examples shown repre-
sent what may happen when concrete
and tile silos are improperly construct
ed, but they should not be used to dis
credit these types OF siloS.
Whenever farm buildings are not
permanently located, or if for other
reasons a temporary structureis desired
the wooden silo may be preferred to
one of concrete or other durable
material. Where lumber is cheap, or
where stone and gravel can not be
readily obtained, the first cost OF
wooden silo may be less than that of
concrete silo. But for permanent
structure it is generally best to con-
struct Of tile, concrete, cement block,
or some other durable material. Silos
properly built of these materials are
not likely to be dnmaged by winds.
They must be properly reinforced how
ever or they will crack and eventually
fall down.
In some cases the cracking of the
concrete silo is caused by too small a
proportion of cement used in its con-
struction. More often, however, the
trouble is due to improper reinforce
ment Aside from the matter OF rein
forcing, most of the failures of concrete
silos have been caused by poor and in
sufficient foundation.
The concrete slo should be built with
a solid wall 6 inches thick and rein
forced with steel rods or wovenwire
fencing. The joints in each course of
the wire fencing should overlap and
the ends be tied.
1t is sometimes stated that the silage
next to the wall will spoil for distance
of inches. If the silage is not well
packed and if the inside walls are left
rough, it will spoil at the edges, but
this may happen in any type of silo. If
the inside walls are comparatively
smooth and coated with raw coal tar
thinned to the consistency of paint, and
the silo is properly filled, the silage
will keep in good condition for several
years.
The impossiblity of moving is an
other argument which has been used
against concrete silos, but man who
builds for permanence and has live
stock business definitely established
has no occasion for moving the silo.
Some concrete and tile silos have
been poorly constructed and improper
ly filled, but these are not sufficient
reasons for condemning these types Of
silos. The unqualified assertion that
tile, concrete, cement block and brick
silos are not durable is not based on
! facts.
Details for constructing wooden and
concrete silos may be obtained by ap-
plying to the Department of Agriculture
