EARN THEIR CROSSES
WRITER TELLS OF BRAVERY OF
GERMAN FIELD COOKS.
Are Held Responsible for Feeding the
Men in the Trenches, and Well
and NobIy They Are Doing
Their Duty.

There isn't anything heroic about
cooks" writes Herbert Corey to the
New York Globe, "and when things go
wrong one either apprehends cook
as chasing a waiter with bread knife
or giving way to tears" Yet the Ger
man army contains many cook whose
expansive apron is decorated with the
iron cross. "And the iron cross" Mr..
Corey reminds us, lis conferred for
one thing only-for 100 per cent cour-
age" The writer tells an interesting
tale:
They've earned it, said the man
who had seen them. They are the
bravest men in the kaiser's four mil
lions. I've seen generals salute greasy,
paunchy, sour-looking army cooks
"The cooks job is TO feed the men
of his company. Each German COM
pany is followed or preceded by field
kitchen on wheels Sometimes the fires
are kept going while the device
trundles along. The cook stands on
the footboards and thumps his bread.
He is always the first man up in the
morning and the last to sleep at night.
The Teuton believes in plenty of food
of a sort. A well-fed soldier will
fight. A hungry one may not.
"'When the company gets into camp
at night said the man who knows,
the cook is there before it, swearing
at his fires and the second cook, and
turning out quantities of depressing
looking veal stew, which is, neverthe-
less, very good to eat
when that company goes into the
trenches the cook stays behind. There
is no place for field kitchen in four
foot trench. But these men in the
trench must be fed. The Teuton in
Bists that all soldiers must be fed
but especially the men in trench
The others may go hungry, but these
must have tight belts. Upon their
staying power may depend the safety
of an army.
$50, as the company cannot go to
the cook, the cook goes to the COM
pany. When meal hour comes he puts
a yoke on his shoulders and a cooks
cap on his head and, warning the sec.
Dnd cook as to what will happen if he
let's the fires go out, puts a bucketful
of the veal stew on either end of the
yoke and goes to his men. Maybe the
trench is under fire. No matter. His
men are in that trench and must be
fed.
Sometimes the second cook gets his
step right here. Sometimes the ap
prentice cook-the dish washers
summoned to pick up the cooks yoke
and refill the spilled buckets and tramp
steadily forward to the line. Some
times the supply of assistant cooks,
even, runs short. But the men in the
trenches always get their food.
That's why SO many cooks in the
German army have iron crosses dan.
Cling from their Breasts said the man
VINO knows. No Drawer men ever lived.
The man in the trench can duck his
head and light his pipe and be rela.
lively safe. No fat cook yoked to two
buckets of veal stew ever can be safe
as he marches down the trench under
fire. But he always marches. His men
are always fed, and fed on time. The
hero of the German campaign is the
fat cook of the field Kitchen"

shouldn't make it his life work Just as
man makes the study of the auto
business his life work when he enters
the Office of an auto concern.
"The game is just like business.
The man who studies 1t, who is at
+ tentive, who is ambitious, who does
what's right, who gives the club all
that he possesses, who takes care OF
himself, is the man who will stick to
the game and who will find that 1t
will pay him dividends as long as
any other line of work would.
Just consider for moment how
many minor league clubs in this coun-
try are more than enxious to get a
man Of intelligence at a good salary
to manage their clubs. Think of the
number of scouts employed by major
league clubs. There's room for every
man who is willing TO try to advance
in his profession.
II don't intend to sermonize, but
that's a plain statement of fact, and
conditions support my argument.
Don't think for a minute that be-
lieve ball player isn't entitled to a
healthy salary. On the contrary, be-
lieve he is, and earns 1t. What
mean to convey is the idea that the
ball player should work for the future
just as the young fellow does in other
lines Of work"

Harry Davis, veteran catcher, it is
announced, will be the captain OF the
Athletics this season. He succeeds
Ira Thomas, who will take charge of
the Mack pitching staff.
Davis was captain for several years
before he became manager of the
Cleveland Americans in 1912. For
the last two years he has been coach
ing the Athletic players.
Harry Davis is one Of those indi-
viduals who doesn't believe that ball
players diamond career is ended
when his arm goes out of commits
sion and his legs lose their speed.
Ball players too often devote most
of their energy looking after their
salary" he declared with emphasis.
"They argue that at the best they have
only few years to stay in the game.
They believe that during that time
they must collect enough coin to last
the remainder of their lives. They
see visions of going back to hard la
bor of losing all the comforts of life
which they enjoyed while drawing
large salary as member OF major
league.
That's wrong. It's entirely wrong
They don't appreciate the hugeness Of
this game. Baseball Is an immense
proposition. There's not the slightest
reason in the world why a man

ALL RIGHT IN THE FUTURE
Proof That Little Dorothy Had I'm
bbed the Policies Advocated
by Her Mother.

Dorothy's mother is a suffragette Of
advanced type. Dorothy is a dear
little girl in a primary grade, but
somewhat inclined to copy her elders
One day her teacher received a note
from the secretary of the school
board, but waited until after class to
read it. Dorothy returned for some
books and caught tears in the teach
er's eyes (the latter had been denied
an increase in salary upon which she
had based large hopes), and said:
"Why are you crying?"
The teacher laughed and said, "The
naughty old school board isn't nice
to mel"
Dorothy took hold of the teachers
hand with both hers and said very
seriously, Don't you cry any more
When we get the vote we women will
correct such things!"--The Sunday
Magazine.

INDICATIONS OF
An EARLY SPRING
Great Prosperity Ahead for
Western Canada.

The most recent advices from all
points in Western Canada report that
conditions are apparent for an early
spring. Farmers are going over the
implements, getting their seeders
ready for operation, tho plows in shape
for extended breaking, and there is a
general optimism. A great many new
settlers have already arrived, and the
reports from Canadian Government
agents in ne United States point to
the fact that in few days there will
begin the usual emigration from va
rious of the Central and Western
states. From the Eastern states the
number of farmers going to Canada
will be greater than in any past year
There has been fairly large Snow
fall during the winter, which will
greatly add TO the precipitation OF
last fall, which in the opinion of old
timers was in itself sufficient to in
sure good crop during the present
year.
There will be very little titled land
that will be without q crop this year.
The authorities, though, are pleading
with the farm lers to seed only such
land as has had careful preparation, for
rich as Is the soil of Western Canada,
it Is no more fitted 70 produce good
crops uncultivated than is that of any
other land anywhere else. There
have been accounts of failures in some
portions of the agricultural districts Of
Western Canada, and also reports Of
small yields 10 some districts. A good
deal Of this is accounted for from the
fact that notwithstanding the advice
of men OF experience, there are farm
ers who will persist in seeding land not
properly prepared. This may be done
this year, but those who cultivate on
reasonable and logical methods will
be certain Of paying crop. There is
every reason to believe that the high
prices Of oil kinds Of grain will con-
tinue.
With thousands and thousands OF
acres of land waiting for the husband
man to bring it forth with a crop, 1t
is no wonder that Western Canada is
continuing to prove such an inviting
field for the agriculturist.
Seventy million dollars is con-
sentative estimate Of orders which
came to Canada as the direct result
of the war. Governments Of the al
lies have been placing large orders in
Canada and buying huge quantities OF
supplies for cash.
The total value of exports to Eu-
rope from Canada has jumped about
Is per cent since the war started,
while in certain lines the increases
have been enormous.
Therefore the results of the demand
OF the allies for war and other material
is beginning to be felt in the financial
life of the Dominion. There is marked
activity in many commercial lines, and
conditions are fast becoming normal.
Western Canada is receiving rela-
tive benefit to the East.-Advegtise
ment.

!. Necessarily Slow.

permitted to visit boy friend on
the strict condition that he was to
leave there at five o'clock ard his
mother was very angry. The young
ster insisted, however, that he had
obeyed his orders and had not hin
gered unnecessarily on the way.
"Do you expect me to believe" said
his mother, that it took you two
hours to walk a quarter of mile?"
She reached for the whip. Nov, sir,

UMPIRE WAS SOLD FOR $3.50
Arbiter Finney of Pacific Coast
League Tells Story on Himself
While With Fort Scott.

Umpire Fi1ney Of the Pacific Coast
league was nee sold for the stagger-
ing sum of $3.50. What's more, Fin
ney is game enough to tell the story
On himself. He was behind the bat
Tor Fort Scott, in the Kansas league,
IN 1906. The team had not beea given
sufficient support and it was dec led
to disband it. The manager of the
Fort Scott team went down to Coffey-
Vile, now famous as Walter Johnson's
home. The Coffeyville magnate made
a daring proposal to the Fort Scott
lmpresario. He offered to pay the Fort
Scott lun1ina y the price of his rail
way fare for single choice of the
Fort Scott players. He chose Finney.
The ticket came to $3.50.

SATISFIED AS THEY WERE
Couples, Victims of Curate's Mistake,
Decided That They Would let
the Thing Go.

A vicar of certain English parish
was sitting in his study one morning.
when in burst the verger in a great
state Of excitement. ...
"Mr. -" mentioning the curate's
name, wants you at once, SIR" he ex-
claimed 'fHe has married two couples
and married the two men to the wrong
women, and he does not know what
to do"
Have they signed the register" In
quired the clergyman.
NO" was the verger's response.
Then they can be married again,
said the vicar. TELL Mr.. - / will
be at the church in minute or two
to perform the ceremony"
In due course the incumbent made
his way to the church and found the
parties gathered at the entrance. Re-
fore he could say anything one of the
bridegrooms approached and said:
1--WE have been talking it over, SIR
and we have made up our minds to-,
remain as we are" And they did SO.

A POTATO ROMANCE

eff were a farmer boy, or boy with
out capital, and wanted an early compe-
tency, I'd start right out growing Pota-
toes" said Henry Schroeder, the Potato
king of the Red River Valley, whose story
in the John A. Salzer Seed Co.'s Catalogue
reads stranger than a romance.
That advice of Mr.. Schroeder's, the self
made Potato king, comes from a warm
heart, level head, an active hand, and
above all, successful Potato grower!
