SERIES FOR WORLDS
BALL CHAMPIONSHIP
BOSTON FOR AMERICAN, PROB
ABLY BROOKLYN FOR MA.
TIONAL-BEGINS OCT. Z

Interest never lags in what Ring
Lardner terms the worlds serious"
Even the man who scarcely glances
at the per centage columns of the
big leagues during the summer begins
to take notice and make injuries Of
his better posted neighbor as Sep
tember draws to a close and is found
elbowing his way into the mob before
the bulletin board while the great
sporting classic is in progress.
The finish in both the American and
National leagues is one of the closest
possible this year. Not until a few
days ago did the Boston "Red Sox"
cinch their title to American league
pennant and at this writing the Ma
tional title is unsettled.
The Brooklyn "Trolley Dodgers" {"
have slight lead but Pat Moran s
"Phillies" are close at their heels.
The Boston teams have won more
honors in worlds series than those of
any other city. The twelve struggles
between the two leagues have left the
count so even that each new series
contains large element of doubt that
puts the friends of each league on
their sporting mettle. Generally,
however, the favorite picked by the
talent has landed the big honor.
A high base ball authority, Grant
land Rice, has the following to say
of the coming series, which has been
announced to start Oct. Z:
In coming to the thirteenth world
series there are number of elements
Of surprising interest beyond the
present rivalry.
How many ecstatic fanatics, we
wonder, appreciate the even play Of
the two leagues for their last IL meet
ings?
Offhand, one would figure that the
American league was far in front. For
the fan forgets quickly. He is not
likely to range back over six years,
and in doing so he remembers well
enough that the American league has
bagged five of the last SIX trophies.
The Even Count
So far as series go, the young
league is out in front, as it has land
Cd seven championships against five.
But so far as games 60 nothing
could be closer. For the two circuits
have played 10 world series games
since 1908. OF this number the Amer
ican league has won "a, the National
league has won "a and there have
been two ties.
If this isn't nip-and-tuck count
over a 12-year war the proper answer
would be very much appreciated
around these precincts.
You hear considerable gossip about
world series upsets, but they have
been far apart.
In fact, there were only three Of
any note within IL years. The first
came when the White Sox, in 1906,
beat the great Cub machine four
games out of six.
The next came when the young
Mackian machine beat the Cubs four
games out of five.
The third arrived when the inspired
and frenzied Braves beat the Mack
men four straight in 1914.

Boston's Triumph

Boston is the one undefeated world
series camp. No Boston club has ever
suffered a post-season setback. No
Boston fan from 1903 on has ever had
to alibi a loser.
The Boston Americans beat Pitts
burgh in 1903. The Boston Ameri
cans beat the Giants in 1912 and the
Phillies in 1915. And the Boston
Braves beat the Mackmen in 1914.
So Boston has four world series
triumphs, and Boston has been the
ruling city Of the game three of the
last four years.

The Old Man SHED,

A story by Imri Zumwalt in the Bon
ner Springs Chieftain: "a man travel
ing over the country soliciting sub
scribers for one of the big metropolitan
newspapers not long ago found himself
in a community remote from railroads.
After travelling for some time without
seeing any signs of life he came a
last upon a stony field on the mot
tain side where a man and a woman
were blowing. The old man was
hitched in front pulling the pillow and
the woman was guiding it by the
handles After few preliminary re-
marks about the weather the solicitor
asked them if they would like to sub
scribe for his newspaper. They stared
at him blankly and inquired what a
newspaper was. He pulled sample
copy from his pocket and began to un-
fold it to show them, whereupon Che
old man became frightened and ran
away, smashing up the plow."-Kansas

HORSE REALLY HAS
VERY LITTLE SENSE
Not Nearly So Intelligent as he
Is often Pictured-"JibbIer"
Not Stupid.

(By GEORGE H. GLOVER, Colorado
Agricultural College, Fort Collins, Colo.)
Those who have had the least to do
with horses ascribe to them an intel
ligence which they really do not pos
sess. A horse knows about as much
when it is born as it ever does.
The majority of horses have very
little will power, they can be rendered
docile and tractable, they will work
at high pressure until exhausted,
never apparently learning the obvious
lesson that it is the willing horse"
which suffers and that the more they
work the more they will get to do.
The so-called stupidity of the ass
and the provoking obstinacy of the
mule are not indications of lack Of
intelligence. On the contrary they
manifest determination of purpose
which If they could combine against
man would secure for them complete
freedom from civilization.
A horse that "jibs" is one that has
learned to disobey; he has learned his
own strength and the comparative
powerlessness Of his master and he
has learned this through an exercise
of reason. The "jibbler" is an intel
ligent and not stupid horse.

USE OF FULL.BL00D
SIRES ON THE RANGE
Striking Argument in Favor OF
Registered Bulls Reported
From State of Utah.

A communication from Washington,
d. c., gives a striking illustration OF
the value of the use of full-blood sires
on the range.
Two Utah ranchmen shipped their
steers to the same market on the
same day. Both grazed their stock
on the national forest range under
grazing permits, controlling the same
amount of range per head, and paid
the same grazing fee. There was this
difference: One had used registered
bulls. the other had not. The owner
of the steers by registered bulls &C
tually received $40 per head more for
his steers on the market than the 9TH
er one received for the steers sired
by the nonregistered bulls.
There is more sound argument in
favor Of the use of registered bulls in
this one fact than could be written
into q volume.

of affection, the absence of true wife,
ly interest. The home of wealth Is
usually fair to look upon. The parlors
are luxurious, as are the library and
dining room. But there is not one
room In the house in which man can
feel content to sit. The parlor is too
cold. The beautiful chairs are stiff
and uncomfortable. The library is
lonely if one is not in the mood for

The young wife, relieved at his alb.

ed ballroom, where Il is quite the
fashion of young men to flirt and pay
homage to beautiful matrons. Nine
times out of ten such marriages are
childless. Is it to be wondered that
young wives, fattered by attention,
drift into unfortunate romances? Thew
feel the lack of loves appreciation and
sunshine to brighten their dread ex-
istences.
How they envy the shop girl and
her beau hurrying along to the movies
of an evening. The woman of wealth
gazes out at them from her automobile
with hungry look in her eyes. What
are simple clothes, slim purse and an
humble home compared to the rich,
full measure of love that crowns the
girls life?

So many divided interests fill up their
lives that love for each other Is
crushed out or becomes only name.

Among the forage crops tested for

does not furnish pasture as early or
keep as many hogs per acre.
Dwarf Essex rape is the best Of the
crops that must be sown each year.
It may be sown alone or broadcast at
the rate of six pounds per acre after
which a bushel of oats per acre can
be drilled in. Sorghum Is also to be
recommended and blue grass is ex-
cellent, especially for early and late
pasture, but it is likely to take a
rest during a hot, dry summer. AT
such times the green, succulent sor-

IF WE ONCE KNEW.

The thoughts that are truest and bravest
Are the ones that are never expressed,
And the tender love thou cravest
Somehow is never confessed.
The rose that is sweetest and fairest
Is the bud that is killed by the frost
And the love that is dearest and rarest
Is the true love we have lost.
Experience is a wonderful teacher.
Those who get their fingers in the
flame once take good care that 1t shall
not happen again. A girl may have
had half a dozen beaux ere she col
lects sense enough to fill the bill Of
what marrying man Is looking for
when he WEEDS.
If she has been jealous of her first
sutton she is careful to hide any trace
OF it from the second young man. II
she loses him by display of extrava-
gance, which he takes pains to COM
ment on, she is sure to tell her next
admirer she makes all of her own
clothes, knows how to cook and bake
and she thinks waste is such sin. If
she loses him by flirting she, is pretty
sure not to err in that direction when
another lover comes on the scene.
Had she possessed as much knowl
edge at the outset as she did when all
of her beaux wearied of her and rode
away, she would have been wise
enough to have held the heart of her
first lover, who is often the best of
the lot. A mother thinks she can
impress upon her daughter the knowl-
edge of the world from her expert
ences.
But no two admirers are alike. What
one man may consider girls playful
moods another will regard as faults. If
we knew in the beginning what we
find out to our loss later on, how differ
ent our lives might turn out! Youth
is the happy stage of inexperience.
How can it be expected that old heads
should sit on young shoulders? Each
one must learn her own lessons.
knowledge comes with years. There
are men who do not relish the idea Of
playing teacher to youthful wife.
They had rather have one who had &C.
quired all Of her lessons and was ready
to profit by them. '-9t t.'<
A happy home depends much on a
wife's tact, her ability to keep her
husband interested in her The trouble
of most households that have domestic
feuds is that the wives In such homes
have little or no knowledge of the
moods of the general run of men. Had
they this intuition, they could rule
their husbands without their knowing
they were ruled. .---~,.s.. ~. ~.
There are big, brave men who like
to be petted and coddled. There's the
boorish husband, who puts his wife's
nerves on edge, who should be dealt
with kindly, but firmly. The woman
who has learned her lessons from eX-
perience knows men are never so old,
so learned, so great that they do not
enjoy being fiattered wee bit on the
right occasions. 1t means, to them, ap-
probation. Men who know it all them
selves are, on the contrary, better
pleased with wives who have had no
schooling in the worlds ways. They
do not attempt to teach them, but per-
sist in their remaining in happy ig-
norance, which means contentment all
around They believe where ignor
ance is bliss, tbs folly to be WISE"
They wouldn't have thought that in
their earlier years. That was because
they didn't know then as much of life
and what constitutes happiness as
they know now.

GIVE YOUNG COLTS
VERY BEST OF CARE
Dry Bed and Protection From
Cold Winds and Rain Is of
Utmost Importance.

By PROF. DONALD J. 2 KAYS, Ohio
State University ...e =
With the demand for good draft
horses advancing, the young colts
should receive the best of care to in
sure rapid and complete development,
Many may be ruined by heavy feeding
in the stalls where they cannot take
exercise.
The ideal shelter for colts Is
tightly built shed open to the south
where the animals may go in or out at
their own pleasure and where they
may have the run of lot for exercise,
A dry bed and a protection from cold
winds and rain is all that is needed,
Clover and alfalfa make good rough
age for colts with a grain ration OF
two parts oats and one bran added.
There is little danger of overfeed:
ing a colt if room for proper exercise
is given. Growth can be made more
cheaply during the first year than at
any other time and feed should not be
