Are Great Friends

The unusual situation now pre-
sents itself of two great friends
and neighbors running for the
Vice Presidency of the United
States as the respective noml-
nees Of the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties.
Charles w. Fairbanks, the Re-
publican nominee, n d Vice
President Thomas. R. Marshall,
are the two neighbors, and each
has high regard for each other.
When Marshall was governor
of Indiana, a frequent caller at
the state capital was Fairbanks.
During the heat of. the Chicago
convention Marshall expressed
the hope that Fairbanks would
be honored with the Presidential
nomination, not for political, but
personal reasons.

First Baseball Suits

The first baseball game in
which any of the players wore
uniforms, says the Saturday
Blade, was pulled off sixty-five
years ago, June 3, 1851. when
the New York Knickerbockers,
the pioneer ball club, played the
Yorkville Washingtons.. T h e
Knickerbocker players created a
great sensation by appearing on
the field clad uniformly in white
shirts and blue trousers, with
straw lids covering their domes.
Cheers, boots und cat calls
greeted their appearance, for
the uniforms were a complete
surprise and were publicly worn
for the first time at that game.
The Washingtons, like all other
clubs up to that time, were
garbed in plain citizens cloth
ing. The idea made a great hit
and within a year all the i'm
portant clubs were wearing uni
forms. Long trousers were worn
up to 1868, when the Cincinnati
Red Stockings pulled off another
innovation by adopting short
''pants. " The Reds in that year
wore caps and their outfits es-
tablished a precedent which has
been followed to this day, with
some slight changes and i'm
prOvementS.

Raise High Grade Cattle

Two things were demonstrated
at the big sale of registered Hol-
stein-Friesian cattle on Wednes-
day at Krell's ranch, one-half
mile west of Alhambra, where
sixty-fve COWS and heifers were
sold to ready and anxious bidders
at figures ranging from 5000 to
$42Oa head. 1t showed that
money is plentiful and that the
farmers and dairyman appre-
ciate good stock. About sixty
head. principally cows, brought
prices mostly $500 a head and
up. The yearlings ranged from
$3.50 to $500, one man buying
two heifers at the latter figure.

A bill is pending in the French
chamber of deputies proposing
that, beginning next January,
the government shall pay a sta
ted sum tC every woman who
bears a child. For the first
child the mother is to receive
$1OO; for the second, 5000; and
$1OO for every child thereafter.
The father is to be recognized
and rewarded by a bonus of
$400 when his fourth child is
born. The measure is inspired
of course by the depletion Of
Frances population by the war,
coming after three decades dur
ing which the birth rate re-
manned almost stationary.

why a newspaper man should

it was the Herald man that took
Apache county's public printing

5000. A fellow who has the
