Though Christy Mathewson doesn't

Old Master has added to his effective

the damp ball year or two ago, but
did not use it to any great extent until

Jack Dunn is after the hurler, but
1t Is said that Bill Donovan will send
him back to Richmond in the event
he decides 10 let him out for addi-
tional seasoning,
Russell was the sensation of tina
International League last season. and
he will add considerable strength to
the locals pitching staff should he
be sent here by Donovan. He had all
of the sluggers fooled last year. and
with several weeks under the watch
full eye of the New York manager, he
should be better than ever before.
Pitcher Shocker. who will be turn
ed over to the Virginians by Wild Bill
Donovan, will doubtless join Rich
mond before the end of the week.
Cleveland. which club was making Z
aght for the young hurler. is said to
have relinquished it's claim on him
and will permit Donovan to send him
to the Richmond club. Shocker was
the sensation OF the Canadian League
last year and has shown considera bic

has worked.
With all of these hurting acuuisi-

Growth Of Wealth.

The wealth of the world grows very
slowly, and the amount Of real saving
is amazingly small. If, for example.
the wealth Of the United States when
George Washington became president
was equivalent to. billion dollars
and that perhaps is not bad guess
and this amount could have steadily
earned Il little over per cent every
year since. this gain, compounded,
would exceed the present estimated
wealth Of this country. This means
that all the rest Of the saving and the
gains from new enterprises and rap
idly increasing population have only
just about balanced the annual waste
and loss. True, more than two-thirds
Of the wealth Of nations is still the hu-
man machine and not. the visible tax
able property, but the fact serves to
show how slight is the annual gain
even in the premier get rich quick
country of the world, the United States.

DAIRY TRAIN
FOR DENlSON
Special Dairy Train, Under Auspices
of Iowa State Dairy Assoc ation,
at Denison March 18th. @
ENCOURAGE BETTER DAIRYINe
Practical Oairymen Are With Party
As Well AS Representatives Of
State Dairy Commission.

A special dairy train, which is to
travel through western Iowa during
the month of March, under the aus
pices of the Iowa State Dairy associa.
ton. will be in Denison on Friday
March 18th. This announcement will
be of interest to farmers and particu
larly to those who are interested in
the dairy industry. The sole purpose
OF this special train is to encourage
better dairying and the Denison Com
mercial club is cooperating with the
Iowa State Dairy association in order
that the meetings in this city will be a
success. The Iowa State Dairy asso'
citation does not advocate more cows
for we have sufficient number OF
milk cows in the state at the present
time. They do advocate, however,
that better class of COWS be MIXED
and that these cows receive better
feed and care The meetings viii be
of interest to the man milking a few
COWS just as we'll as the large dairy
man, for no man can afford to milk
an improbable cow in Iowa with the
present prices OF land.
The State Dairy association has
been exceptionally fortunate in secur
ing the services of practical dairy
men, who will be in position to give
information that can be put into prac.
tice on every farm in this community
Besides the men employed by the as
sociation, there will be representa-.
tives on this train from the Dairy and
Food commission, State Veterinary de.
partment, Iowa State college and the
United States government. The pro-
gram for the days entertainment in
Denison is not available for publica,
ton in this weeks issue, but will be
announced in the near future.

The most original telegraph line in
the world once extended from La Plaz.
the capital Of Bolivia, to the neighbor-
ing town Of Oruro, distance Of about
15G miles. There are no growing trees
in this part Of the world, and wood of
any kind is so rare that the telegraph
poles were made Of the same material
as the natives household furniture
dried mud. The pillars We're built on
stone foundations and measured about
five feet square at the base. with a
tapering height Of fifteen feet. They
were placed about 800 feet apart. An
other curious telegraph line was con-
structed in Uganda by British en-
gineer. who transported growing trees
to the roadside and used them as poles
because he could not find any dead
wood that would withstand the raw
ages Of the white ants. In Dutch
East India growing trees are also
turned to account in this manner. but
there wire is stretched across the
road between the trees on either side
