Cut Your Store Bill
Down One Half

Tens OF thousands OF farmers as well as
town and city folks cut down their store
bills one-half last year and saved money
in spite of generally short crops and re-
duced wages.
Absolutely millions of dollars were
saved and countless families lived better
than ever before In the face of the cotton
crisis and general business depression.
How were these burdensome store bills
cut down. BY the real money-saying
power of good home gardens, rightly
planted and kept planted and tended
through the season.

sta,e and county superintendent of

Senator Miller was supporting the
Stribling amendment which sought
70 limit eligibility 10 women who
have reached the age Of 80 years.
and who are the mothers Of living
children. Senator Miller is evidently
an ardent opponent Of suffrage for
women. and engaged IN rather
heated colloquy with Mr. Whiting
ton. author Of the amendment Dur
ing the debate Senator Wilmington
asked:
Don't you think women would
purify politics7"
Would hog purify a wallow?"
retorted Senator Miller.
There were only few women
spectators present, but among them
was Mrs. Nellie Nugent Sommerville
of Greenville, one of the pioneers
of the suffrage movement in this
state, and the remark reached hel
ears very distinctly. Mrs. J. w. Tuck
er, an officer of the Equity League
of Jackson, was in the gallery, anC
also caught the words.
A few minutes later Mr.. Millel
was given stiff rebuke by Senator
Van Boddie, who, during the cours'
of his address, said:
'If we should rake and scrape tn,
state with a fine-toothed comb, W,
couldn't find a woman more incom
petent for holding public office thar

The Stribling amendment to tn
resolution, which sought to limi
eligibility to women who have reach
ed the age of so years, and who ar
the mothAs of living children, wa
voted down after the author ha
u made an earnest argument agains
: comforting any form of suffrage o
r office-holding rights upon the fai
sex. He made the usual anti-sut
frage speech, saying that the entr
of women into politics, instead o
i, purifying the political arena woul
have degrading effect on women.

ALEXANDER" writes n bystander, In
"A nocent or otherwise. already has
pitched IL shut outs. Before the season is
over he undoubtedly will add two more.
smashing all shut-out records by four games.
shouldnJ this be listed as the greatest
pitching feat ever established in any one
year,"
As wonderful an achievement as this is,
we doubt that any one man can be given
credit for outrankng all others for single
years work.
Here. for example. are four cases within
the last Is years to be entered in any such
ranking:
l. Chesbro, in 1904 won 4S games.
Compare that record with star pitchers to-
day winning from 20 TO IS, or 80 at the
most.
2 Mathewson. In 1905. won SO games
and then pitched three worlds series shut
outs, Considerable achievement
3. Ed Walsh, In 1908, pitched IN W
games He won 40 and saved at least 10
more.
T. Joe Wood, in 1912. won sS games out
OF 3s starts.
To pitch le shntouts in one year is super
brilliant work. But the above incidents
show how hard II Is to pick one man above
the field over a 2O-year span-hguring only
one seasons work.
The Shut-out King
In one way Alexander's mark tops the
field pitcher may win many games
where he has pitched poorly or with only
fair ability He may win games by scores
such as to or to s.
But when man delivers a shut-out there
is no question as to the earned increment.
BY pitching so many shut-outs Alexander
has proved an ability beyond any present
| competition.
There is no question now that he is the
| greatest pitcher in the game today.
Where the Trouble Was

The American soccer team, which is tour

second game Of the tour in the Olympic sta
dium at Stockholm before crowd OF 20. 900
spectators, among owho was the King OF
Sweden. His royal hlghness AT the close
OF the game. expressed great admiration for
the American players and their clean meth

We were the first on the field. arriving
about so o'clock. The long twilight makes
1t possible for sports Of every nature to be
played here until late In the evening We
were opposed by team selected from
among the leading players of Sweden, called
the Tigers. After the home team came on
the field we paraded before the King. and
the cheering and applause lasted fully rs
minutes. After posing for photographs the
match began.
For the first 10 or Is minutes the Tigers
had us on the defensive only the splendid
playing OF Dick" spaulding, OF Philade-
phia, preventing score. The Tacony full
back broke up the fine passing attack OF
the Swedish team time and again.
After this the American team began to
work together. and 25 minutes from time
Cooper carried the ball down the wing and
passed to Diedercksen, who shot wide
Both teams missed several hard shots dur
ing the remainder of the half which ended
without score.
At the outset of the second half we be-
gan to press In the first Ave minutes Clark
and Hemlnsley shot wide from about 20
yards out. The Tigers defense was tested
thoroughly during the next quarter hour,
but held its own in splendid fashion. Rob-
ertson dropped the ball squarely into the
net from about 30 yards out but the Swedish
goal made wonderful save.
