While Garfield as David has stood by
with his sling and heaved rocks at Go

personal grievance at Goliath is
thought by many to overshadow his
interest in better government. The

more generals are needed. The dear

Holding Ammonia In Stable Manure

Land plaster or gypsum has I'M
doubted value in holding the ammonia
or nitrogen in stable manure, al
though some scientists dispute this.
Still kainit is so much better for this
purpose than the gypsum that it is a
wonder any of the latter is used. 1t
is true kainit is more expensive in
first cost, but then it not only holds
the ammonia better than the gypsum,
but it adds to it a desirable plant food
which gypsum does not.
If one must, for any reason, store
the stable manure for some portion of
the winter, the bulk of its value will
be maintained if stored in pits with
cement bottoms, so that the liquid
portions are retained, and the mass
treated with kainit occasionally dur
ing the winter. The cost is small
compared with the increased value of
the manure. Try it this winter and
you will become a convert to the prac-
tice.

books while at school, and when he is
mustered into the army he works in
tensively at his military education. In
Germany the intensiveness of school
work is increased by the fact that if
this is not well done, boys period of
military service may be more than
doubled. There it has been found
best to do one thing at a time and do
it well. Here, if the introduction of
drilling into the schools should inter
fere in any way with the thoroughness
of the real work it would not pay.
"The American schoolboy already
has so many distractions that it is be-
coming more and more difficult to give
him the education he ought to have.
If putting him into a uniform and
placing gun in his hand would dis
tract his mind still further from his
studies, it is very doubtful whether
the added help that would result to
our army would compensate for the
.oss of the schools effectiveness.
in the boarding schools the posi-
bilities for military training are grea-
ter. In schools that have made fea-
ture of military training, this has
been convenient in dealing with disci-
pline. How important are the mill
tary accomplishments of such schools,
am unable to say, but it is probable
that much more could be done if the
General Staff of the Army were to out
lire some comprehensive plan which
could guide all schools. Some of the
military boarding schools have found
it difficult to adjust satisfactorily the
time for drill and the time for study.
Sometimes it has been their expert
ence that the military features have
proved NOR popeular than classroom
exercises, that the drills have not al
ways been an incentive to thorough
scholastic work.
The advantages of military train
ing for boys are very obvious. The
discipline should be beneficial. 1t
should give a boy a better carriage
and improve his physique in other re-
srectS. However, in introducing COM
pulsory military drill into the schools
at present, We ought to weigh care
fully the possibility of interfering
with studies No step should be tax
en- without obtaining the best military
advice that is to be had. This should
be balanced carefully with the opin-
ions of the best trained schoolmen.
Then if it seems wise to adopt the
system that has been proposed, il
should form part of a well-considered
and complete scheme of national de-
Tense"

As one grows old their organs act

ton weak. Vinol, our delicious cod liver

it creates a good healthy appetite,
strengthens digestion, enriches the

natural manner builds up, strengthens

Fears Ill-Conceived Reforms.

There is a serious danger of over
loading the schools with national, eco
nomic, and social problems which they
are asked to help solve Some of these
ill-conceived reforms which the schools
are asked to promote may interfere
with the real business of educating
boys, The first task of a school is to
give to its pupils sound mental train
ing. If it does this well, it is doing a
great work for the nation.
at is quite possible that military
training is one of the things that
schools can give without sacrificing
their efficiency, but before undertaking
such q thing a carefully considered
scheme should be worked out. on which
the Secretary Of War and the General
Staff, as well as representative
schoo men, would he willing to put
their stamp Of approval.
"The introduction of military drill
into the schols and colleges is not go
ing to solve the question of our pres
emf preparedness for war. 1t is at
best only a halfway measure Most
Americans do not liz. to face square
ly the question Of the nations military
needs. and some of them suggest drill
ling the schOOlbOys as d sort of con-
cession TO the demand for bigger

public an intelligent knowledge of
military affairs. it would be a good
thing However. it would hardly be

EDUCATOR CAUTIONS
ARMY'S CHAMPIONS

Serious harm may be done the
young men of the country and the
cause of education by using the COL
leges and preparatory and high
schools to advance a military propa-
ganda unless the whole subject is
carefully thrashed out, in the opinion
of DR.. Thomas Stockham Baker, Head
master of the Tome School, who states
his opinion at length in recent issue
of the New York Times. He urged
that before the colleges and other
educational institutions took steps to
become partly or wholly military
schools the General Staff of the Army
should outline a comprehensive plan
that would serve as an authoritative
guide.
"The widespread discussion of our
military preparedness, as might be
expected, has brought forward the
question of what can be done with the
of school age and the young men in
colleges to strengthen our military es-
Establishments" said Dr. Baker "The
schools for several years have been
employed actively in promoting
peace propaganda. Now it looks as if
they may be used to advance a propa-
ganda of the opposite kind. In several
large cities the question of requiring
boys in the high schools to drill is be-
ing considered. Some of the colleges
have before them plans for preparing
officers who might be called on in case
of war.
at seems to re that schoo! boards
and college Presidents should go very
slowly in adopting any of the hasty
suggestions that are being made to
combine military with scholastic train
ing
81 believe that every healthy Amer
lean boy would be improved by
strict course of military discipline;
but there are grave dangers in at
tempting to train a boy to be a soldier
while he is trying to acquire general
education. In any case, the tendency
to use the schools to promote al sorts
of reforms is going too far.

When Mccoy lost the first set to Smith, it was the first reverse the young ster had suffered during the tourney. and was complete surprise to the gallery
 Smiths win of the first set did not do him much good, Yer Mccoy quickly rallied The third and deciding set started with a rush, on the part of Smith, who won the first two games Mccoy then struck his form and set the ambitious youngstsr down, winning the next six games. Smith was wild and cratic. serving 10 doubles and driving the majority of his returns out of bounds. Mccoy played way off form in the first set, in fact, he was com- pletely outclassed. Smiths attitude to- ward the. final outcome played a great part in his defeat. No other match was played yesterday.
 The Wyman- Simpson match will be the chief card today. The match has been postponed for the last three days and both players are anxious to hitch up The winner will play Mccoy in the afternoon to decide the city champion of Blrming- ham for boys IS years of age or under The score of the McCoy-Smith match was 4-6. 6-l 6-2.

VOTES FOR WOMEN RE|GNS SUPREME AT R|CKWO0D FIELD Big Crowd Enjoys Pro- gramme and Day Is Big
 Success = How It
 Happened

Votes for women reigned supreme at Redwood Field yesterday afternoon and the historic old park, gaily be- decked in yellow finery and resound- ing with tuneful suffrage parodies, was fairly steeped in the atmosphere of the "cause."
 Baseball for the time was forgotten and the crowd of nearly 5000 who packed the stands catered rather to the programme of the suffragists than the splendid exhibition of national pastiming which was being staged for their interest and approval. The suf- fragists had their day. Outside the park they swarmed, disposing of tickets to the Innocent fan, and inside they mingled with the merry throng disposing of suffrage Literature and advertising the cause" in baseball parlance.
 Upon the field the players besport- cd sashes of gorgeous yellow. and every official of the local association from President Smith to the official mascot, Was clothed in the royal emblem of votes for women. Placed in conspicu- ous places in the stands were yellow ribbons galore and interspersing them at frequent intervals were rare gems of epigram expressing tersely the logic or the cause" And In front of the vast throng. happily printed in black, with yellow background giant let-' ters bespoke the need of universal sui 1rage. It was a baseball crowd and those who disagreed were sufficiently tactful to keep their objections in abeyance.
 The ladies carried out their programme with zeal not unlike that shown in handling the state solons Everything was pleasant and cheerful and without d single symptom of militarisn, such IS was exhibited by Kid Elberfeld, the lestities rocked onward in succession or novelties that completely captivated the big crowd.
 And everyone was there From the rabld fan to the important citizen who attends games on special occasions to get his name in the write-up from the baseball suffragist of healthy frame and voice to the limpid damsel whos loves her suffrage as she does her |. ioined in the festivi- ties and all helped to make the day a success. c. w.

It will be Sloan's fourth trial with the St. Louis club, ms he hns been recalled on an optional agreement for the past three years.
 Hale is regarded as one of the most superb defensive catchers in the South crn, although he has been unable to hit at a fast clip. He has a perfect begging arm and is considered as pos sessing a good amount of baseball.
 Sloan is hitting over the 300 mark, is the leading batsman, the leading run getter and the most successful base runner Both players are still young sters. as Hale is just 21 and Sloan is 24. Sloan is resident of Tennessee, while Hale comes from Kansas.
