takes better care of himself than any
other player in baseball; probably bet
ter care of himself than any other
man In the country
He starts training for a season
with the beginning of the year. He
eliminates all pastries from his food
stuffs; he doesn't drink at any time;
he never smokes during the training
season and seldom out of it: he lives
regularly. eats regularly. and when a
healthy man at the beginning keeps
up a life like this there is no reason
why he should not continue playing
baseball almost as long as he wishes.
Crawford is an ideal player. He is
a player every one looks upon with
favor and he carries the respect of
teammates and opposing players. He
is easily handled, and when a man
carries this record there is nothing to
fear.
If Crawford makes good on his
hopes the chances favor the creation
of a record of more than $500 hits.

A former Red Wing tMinn) saloon
keeper, Mr.. Lehman, now engaged in
the clothing business in McHenry, N.
D., recently visited his old friends in
Red Wing. While disclaiming any
pretensions to being total abstainer,
he gave some excellent testimony to-
the value of prohibition.
"One reason why we are not anxious
to have saloon in our town is that
it would draw the kind of people from
other places that we do not want; we.
like good, clean town."
"It is said so often that prohibition
does not prohibit. Mr.. Lehman" re-

Autumn and spring are the best sea-
sons of the year for all kinds of work.
At very low temperature both men
tai and physical work are depressing.
Mental work reaches its highest eff
cheney at temperature of 3S degrees
while physical work reaches it's maxi

tons show that weather variations are
distinctly good for us and promote our
mental efficiency.

BETTER LIE LOW.
The following incident is told by the
Philadelphia North American Re-
view:
"a West Philadelphia liquor dealer
recently consulted an acquaintance in
the real estate business about the ad'
visibility of transferring his license
from side street location to a Mar
ket street corner. The change would
involve an increased investment
Stay where you are, counseled the
real estate expert. You would get
a more prominent situation by NOV
Ing; but that, in my judgment, Is just
what you should avoid. Better stay
where you're tolerated. If you try
to get out on Market street, you'll only
attract attention and stir up opposi'
ton. Public opinion is getting
mighty sensitive about the saloon
business, and you'd run the chance OIL
losing the place you've got.
81 guess you're right, said the
saloon-keeper put the proposition
up to one of the biggest men in the
wholesale trade Don't think OF It,
he said. Don't invest another dollar
And make all you can now, for INSIDE
of ten years we'll all be put out OIL

HIS OPPORTUNITY
BY GEORGE MuNsoN.

John and Cynthia were to be mar
ried when John was raised from TWEEN
ty to twenty-five. But Christmas came,
and John received no notification of
an increase.
II think it's shame, john" said
Cynthia, weepily, as she contemplated
another year of spinsterdom. why
don't you go to old Hart and tell him
how badly you need the raise? l am
sure you are doing two mems work
in that old Office"
why, dear!" exclaimed John,
aghast. IF / were to do that they
would simply give me my discharge.
Nobody ever goes to Hart. He is I'M
approachable. He has no more SYM
pathy than a stone"
ooh, John, are you sure you have
enough initiative?" walled Cynthia
you know, they never, never pay any
body more than he is willing to take. "
q tell you it's no use, dear" John
answered. you see, l understand
conditions there, and So
And so that was the way it went.
And John toiled at the Office all
through the dreary winter, and he had
never had to work so hard before. 1t
was as Cynthia had said. He was do
ing two mems work for Hart.
He began to grow desperate. Hart
was becoming more and more unsym-
pathetic. He practically told John
he was not worth his salt. He limited
at changes in the staff. John began to
study the Sunday newspaper adver-
tisement columns
On the very first Sunday he saw an
advertisement which seemed to have
been inserted specially for him.

peror, Constantine, in 1926. Work on
the great pile Of the present vener-
able cathedral was begun by Justinian
in 533. Ten thousand workmen were
employed until its completion, and
the wealth of the whole empire was
put to the severest test to furnish the
steady golden stream which flowed
and flowed for the carrying out of the
ideas. Schools were stopped, 1t Is
said, that the salaries Of the teachers
might be diverted to Santa Sophia's
benefit, and the lead pipes of Constan-
tinople were melted down in order to
make sheeting for its roofs.
Great Work Done Speedily.
Europe, Asia and Africa contributed
of their resources and of their historic
marble columns and panels that the
great cathedral might be unsurpassed
among the glories of earth. Some say
that the great work was finished in
the marvelously short time of ten
years, others are positive, even, that
it was ready in six years. However
this may be, it required 100 years to
build st. Peters at Rome; 35 years to
build st. Pauls in London; 500 years
to build the Milan cathedral, and 615
years to build the Cathedral of
Cologne. There are millions of the
Greek Orthodox faith who are looking
confidently forward to the day when
Santa Sophia will again be the princi-
pal cathedral of their worship.
A bewildering wealth of legends
clusters around the old cathedral, now
defaced and mutilated as a Turkish
mosque, and these legends throw a
veil of the supernatural around It..
One legend, which the Greeks like to
remember, is that of the bishop who
was celebrating mass as the wild Turk
ish hordes under Mohammet H., con-
queror of Constantinople, broke into
the church, and who escaped their
fanatic wrath by walking into a niche
made by the opening wall which again
closed behind him. This priest is
waiting in the wall for the day when
Santa Sophia once more comes under
Christian power, when he will leave
his place Of refuge and continue. in
celebration of the end of Turkish rule
the service in which he was interrupt-
ed 500 years before.

Cynthia lived with her mother in a
tiny uptown apartment. When John
had read the advertisement he hurried
round to consult with the ladies. John
was a favorite of Mrs. Barton's; she
had been as eager as girl about the
marriage, and it's postponement had
been a bitter disappointment to her.
"I'm going to write Quincy strong

little tender love from Cynthia, little
eagerness on Johns part, and touch
of bitterness at the memory of Hart,

one who does not fervently
hope that the mosque Of
Santa Sophia, the ecclesiastical gem
of the Turkish capital, will be spared.
1t is to the Greek church what the
site of the Temple at Jerusalem is to
the Jew and, except for its possession
by strange religion, what st. Peters
is to the Catholic. The repossession
of Santa Sophia represents the goal of
Russia's ambitions during several CEN
turtles. Concerning this great church
edifice writer for the National Geo
graphic society says:
Christianity has been productive of
many wonderful places of worship, of
temples richer in treasure and more
beautiful in workmanship than those
which have grown out of any other
religion. Byzantine and Gothic archi-
lecture received their highest express
sion in sacred building, so much so in
the case of Gothic that the lay mind
confuses that architectural type with
pictures of the wonderful cathedrals
of France and Germany Christian
temples are among the most wonder
full architectural accomplishments Of
all times, and by far and away their
most respondent example is Santa
Sophia, the oldest, the most magnifi-
cent, the most costly and the most in
teresting of all Christian churches.
Santa Sophia has become an in
spiration to all of Greek Orthodox be-
lief who are fighting In the present
battles of Europe.
Built at Enormous Cost.
1t is estimated that Santa Sophia,
including the values of ground mate
rial, labor, ornaments and church uten-
sils, cost about $64,00OO00, while the
common estimate Of the cost of st.
Peters, the chief present splendor of
the Eternal City, is placed at $4S, 000,-
600. No other temple has ever ap-
preached Santa Sophia in the variety
and preciousness Of it's marbles and
in its prodigal employment of silver
gold and precious stones.
The first church constructed upon
the site of Santa Sophia was built at
the direction of the first Christian en-

While prohibition increases beer sales,

One gem from the wisdom of this
convention Is that "beer may be sub

Frequently 1t is also substituted for
shoes and school books and clothes
and meat and house rent and furni-
ture. In fact, a liberal use of it will
make it a substitute for everything

Another piece of philosophy gar

SEPARATOR IS QUITE USEFUL
Dairy One Must Take Every Pre-
caution to Get Most Milk.

The modern dairy is very different
from the dairy OF the old time. and to
get the last cent of profit out of your
labor, and out of your COW. you must
take every precaution for securing the
largest quantity of milk and for get
ting from that milk the largest guam
tity Of butter and cream.
One way is to get separator and
then to learn how to use the separator.
Then you must study the food prob
lem. You must keep an account with
every COW. II you have three or FIVE
or ten. do not average the production
of milk. Keep separate account with
each COW and find out whether each
COW is producing enough to justify
you in feeding 1t and caring for It.
This is the foundation of success In
the dairy.
