THE LAST OF
 THE DELEHAETYS

Jim Delehanty, the last of that fam ous clan to shine in major league base ball, was born in Cleveland thirty-six years ago today, June 20, 1880. Jim is brother of the lamented Ed Dele hanty, the famous slugger, and also of Frank and Joe and goodness knows how many other De1ehantys. It usta be that no game was complete with out a De1ehanty mixed up in it some where. Jim started the present sea- son in the uniform of the Beaumont club of the Texas league, having com pleted his major league service in the service of the Brooklyn Feds last year. Jim was one of the original big leaguers to jump to the Gilmore circuit, and did fairly well in 1914, but last year the game was too fast for him, and he was farnned out to the Colonial league, and later given his unconditional release by John Ganzel. Jim has played in all the big leagues of his time, and with a. num- ber of clubs, including Cincinati, Bos- ton, St. Louis, Washington and De- troit. He was a classy infielder, and, as second baseman of the Tigers in 1909, was one of the batting stars of the worlds series.

LAUNDRY HORSE RUNS
 AWAY AND SPILLS WASH

Scared by a piece of paper a horse attached to a delivery wagon of the Ideal Laundry on Commercial street took fright and ran away. Turning the corner of Main street the wagon was upset and wet wash spilled pro- niscuously aboue the pavement to the great -glee of several small boys " ho immediately began to simulate wild Indians in cavorting about the pile.
 The horse ran into a vacant lot where it was made fast, and later re- turned to the owners. The wagon was damaged materially. Two wheels anG the shafts were broken. None WIS hurt as the driver was in the office at the time and few pedestrians were on the street.

PERTAB SINCHJI

Major-General Sir Pertab Singhji, G. c. s. l., K. c. B., ILL. D., the most famous of the military leaders of In dia, is reported to have returned to the trenches on the western front at his own urgent request, although the native troops he led have been sent from France to other fields of fight ing Sir Pertab passed the three-core and ten mark last year, but he Is a hale and hearty septuagenarian, ana he has often expressed the hope that he may die in the trenches in the midst of a battle Born in 1845, Sir Pertab comes of a Rajput race who have been warriors for countless cen turies, and for nearly sixty years, from his early boyhood, he has been a soldier. He fought with the Brit ish troops in the Mohmand expedi- ton, as aide-e-camp to Gen. Lockhart in the Tirah campaign, and in many other wars and battles on the Indian frontier. He accompanied the Indian troops sent to help queH the Boxer rebellion in China, and it was there that his bitter and deep-seated animos- ity to Germans had it's origin. AL ways treated with the greatest respect in England and France, he was openly snubbed and insu1ted by the Teuton officers, and ever since then he has longed to revenge himself upon the Prussians. Sir Pertab has achieved fame as an administrator as well as an officer. He served two terms as re- gent of the state of Jodhpur, and for some time was prime minister Tn 1902 he ascended the throne of Idars and reigned as Maharaja of that state until 1911. when he voluntarily abdi-
 cate the crown in favor of his adopt ed son, in order that he might return to the regency of Jodhpur. Sir Per- tab has won a high reputation among
 the Allied commanders by his military skill and knowledge of strategy.

half AN EGG A DAY.

Clemson College, S. c., Sept. s.
Do you eat half an egg a day? If
not, you are not getting your share.
There are enough eggs produced in
the United States to allow every
citizen half an egg for breakfast
Caily. Some one else might get your
half egg sometimes, but that isn't
the only reason for the egg short
age. There's another cause. and
here it is. When the cockerels are
the laying season. the fertile eggs
do not keep we'll, and large numbers
of them spoil during the hot wealth
er. Poor packing of eggs for ship
ment also occasions enormous los
ses. Just think of the egg producers
of South Carolina losing something
like three-quartereS of million
dollars annually. due to bad methods

II the farmer will keep the nests

daily; keep the eggs in a cool. dry
room or cellar; market the eggs al
least twice a week in carefully
racked cartons, and sell. kill. or

cut down this loss to such an extent
that every person in South Carolina

properly it contains about 16 per
cent potash. Some private concerns
are already producing potash from
it. and a few years ago there was

price that the German syndicate
charges for its potash.
There is not so much optimism.
