unto themselves. They take daring
chances and get away with it, but the
average player can I do that. Cobb
gets away with it seven chances out of
ten, and it pays. Other players get
away with it about three times out of
ten, and it docsn pay. That the

Latest cablegrams received from au.

According to Lord Bryce an American
investigator:
The deportation continued from April
until November last year. SINCE then
the survivors have rapidly decreased
by starvation and disease.
Men were led outside their villages
and shot or killed with axes.
The consul of a European nation re-

Armenian men had been taken out in

Schools and churches were destroyed

Baseball Evangelist to Hold Special
Service for Armenians.-WillC Con-
tribute 10 Fund.

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 2l.-Billy Sunday
was tired. Anyone who has ever seen
him gyrate through two hours of base
ball evangelism knows that it must take
eight hours sleep, good rundown and
clear conscience to get away from the
fatigue that comes to him every night
But he agreed to listen.
He did, and either the talker was a
good one, or Billy mind is one of those
that takes words and makes pictures of
them, because, tired as he was he began
10 do more than listen. UncOnsciously
be went through few of those fervent
gestures that he uses when he dares the
devil to come out and fight, and the
lines in his lean face set.
Billy already knew the Armenians
were in need-almost everybody knows
that. But he had not realized just how
badly in need they were until after he
had finished his sermon in the Detroit
tabernacle and was resting at the pa
latial home of S. +. Kresge, a man came
to see him with the fresh story of their
sufferings and necessities.
81 get you," he interrupted. "It
never struck ME so strong before The
Armenians are in outlaw company,
that's it."
The big leagues have stuck their ap-
plication in a pigenhole.
Let me see the records-erorrs, as
sists, and everything" he commanded.
Out of the interviewer's pocket came
letters from Armenia, from Lord Bryce
and other investigators, figures telling
of the death of almost million Chris
tians, massaered or deported, and fig
ures showing the contributions of more
than a million dollars by Americans for
the relief of the million or more desti-
tute Armenians who survive in the Ara
bian desert
Billy looked at them all briefly Ma
Sunday, wifely soul, was on his trail.
Billy had only one alternative.
~ can't read the whole official
score" he said, thrusting the letters
and pamphlets and figures back to his
interviewer, "You 90 through it, all of
it. for me, quick. Write me out state
ment of the hits and plays and fouls and
all, and II sign it in hurry. / III put
Billy Sundays assist somewhere in the
game before it over. We've gotsto
win this double header with Old Man
Destitution."
SO the interviewer went through all
the material hastily-he knew il well al
Yeady-and pounded out on borrowed
typewriter statement for Billy to

sign, as nearly in the words he thought
Billy would like to use as he could get,
Back he tramped to Billy's room, across
the thick Persian carpets covered with
the muddy prints of feet that had
tramped up the steps to get Billy's mes
sage of salvation, across the spacious
reception rooms, where the same per-
sons before him had left their track.
Billy was waiting. "Let me lamp
it,, he said, and then he took a pencil
and made so many alterations that lit
tie was left.
"No slang and baseball lingo in
this" said Billy. 81 want every one,
high or low, rich and poor, to read this,
and ] don I want them to think it
came from me in any spirit of levity.
It's got to be in parlor English, as
good as any DR.. johnson ever spilled,
you understand It's got to be the
gilt edged variety or none at all"
So out went all the slang and vivid
phrases la Sunday. What he finally
wrote is being printed all over the
country today. What's more, Billy
is taking a collection in the tabernacle
in Detroit, the proceeds to go to Ar
menian and Syrian Relief.
81 never endorse anything-that IS
my rule" said Billy in conclusion. "But

TAKE GLASS OF SALTS WHEN

No man or woman who eats meat reg
ularly can make a mistake by flushing
the kidneys occasionally, says a we'll
known authority. Meat forms uric acid
which excites the kidneys, they become
overworked from the strain, get slug
gish and fail to filter the waste and
p0isons from the blood, then we get
sick. Nearly all rheumatism. headaches,
liver trouble, nervousness. dizziness,
sleeplessness and urinary disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the Kidneys or your back hurts or If the
urine Is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi-
ment, irregular Of passage or attended
by sensation of scalding. stop eating
meat and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take table,
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast and in few days your kid

Is made from the acid of grapes and

tralize the acids in urine 80 it no longer

FARMING BY MOTOR POWER.
European War Hurries Application OF
Power in American Farm Life.

Special to Times Republican.
Ames. Oct. 27.-As a result of the
war we may find that within few
years as great development will have
taken place in the application Of pow
er to farming in America as would
normally have come about in from nj
teen to twenty years. says NJ. F. T.
Costolloe, head Of the agricultural en-
cheering department at Iowa State
College. ..
The war has caused a great devel-
opment in Europe in the adoption OF
motor vehicles to all kinds Of work.
The enormous loss of horses will slim
ulate the application Of mechanical
power to farming operations in Europe
and it IS probable that this stimulus
will spread to America.
TT Is probable that the vast number
of men rendered incapable Of heavy
manual labor by the war and the con-
sequent adoption Of automatic ma
chimes in all manufacturing processes
may act as an incentive to the man
ufacturing Of agricultural equipment
there also. Altho it Is question il
such equipment would turn to America
for a market, such might be the case.
Another phase to consider Is the
fact that because Of the war many
large manufacturing concerns in this
country that were formerly exporting
to Europe must now concentrate upon
the American field"

supplies include copies of the election

1t is probable that three precincts

Two commissioners will be at Browns

BUILDS HOME OF HOLLOW TILE.
House Has Advantages Over Both
Brick and Frame Structure.

Surfaced hollow tile blocks for use
in residence construction have passed
the experimental stage" says w. c.
Kaiser, Of the agricultural engineering
department at Iowa State College. who
has just completed home built Of
that material. The house, which -
2sx4O feet, is probably the first one Of
any size in the state to be built Of sur
faced hollow tile. In appearance tn
building as it stands can hardly be
told from one built Of face cut brick.
In fact, the blocks. which are larger
than brick, stand out in individual
prominence. which gives really more
pleasing effect.
The cost Of the surface material Of
the house was II cents square foot.
Compared with brick, 1t is more eco
nomical in that mere brick veneer would
cost that much minus the backing.
Moreover, the blocks are laid twice as
fast as brick, according to the mason.
1t is ultimately cheaper than frame,
considering the lathing and painting
necessary for the latter, aitho the Iii
tial cost Of the blocks is a trifle more.
Surfaced hollow tile will be used
more and more for residence construc-
tion," says Mr.. Kaiser. "The hollow
air spaces in the blocks make struc-
ture which will never get damp, as do
brick. Also, considering the rising
price OF lumber, it will be more eco
nomicai to build hollow tile block
house than France.
