certain. 1t will not be enough for
Mr.. Weeghman and his partners to pay
Bresnahan his salary in regular semi

Griffith, who was hopeful of getting
some real batting material added to his
team during the winter. has failed to
produce anything asN yet. There may
be something doing later, but there are
no indications of it now. though it is
essential that special effort be made
to get such material as Griffith has ad-
mitted he needs.
Unless the unexpected happens, the
team may again display its chronic
failing of being weak with the stick,
under which conditions its chances for
finishing as well as lit did last season
will be greatly reduced. There is no as
surance by any means that a good hitter
will be found for second base II Foster

gives evidence of being good hitter.
but IL he is played at first and Gandil
is retained. where will he be played?
Gandil was the best hitter on the team
last year, but ne was slated to be trad
ed or sold this winter, and some sort
of a deal may yet be made involving
him. 1t was Griffith's ambition and
hope that he would be able to corral an
outfie1der OF cleanup batting proclfvi-
ties by disposing of some of his trad
ing material. but as yet nothing has
materialized, in this respect. In fact,
barring the acquisition of Judge and
Jamison, the other recruits are mostly
of the Inexperienced type.
Griffith cannot be blamed for his
stand against allowing any Of the con-
tract Jumpers from the Fed list to play
for him. Boston and Detroit both have
taken the same stand. because they can
afford to, but 1t is the weak teams
which are going to help themselves as
best they can. and they have no scru-
pies as to where the material comes
from or whether the regulations of the
players are tainted.
The Nationals are assured of strong
pitching stan and couple of capable
catchers. The outfield is questionable
cerned, and unless some mark ed
changes are made on the infield it will
have two capable hftters-Foster.
Judge or Gandil--on it,. which will not
be enough to carry the rest of the team
along in an offensive way.
Griffith is not going to overlook q
chance to better his team, and although
Handicapped himself by reason of his
stand against taking back any Federal
players, he. may still be able to pull
something In the way of deals.
Attention has been called to the fact
that there Is good chance of the Bos-
ton club not getting Sam Agnew. Press

Z CINCINNATI, January 1.-Richie
Mitchell. the Milwaukee entrant for
lightweight honors, had a clear shade
over Featherweight Champion Johnny
this afternoon. The bout went the
limit of ten rounds and abounded with
action and the hardest kind of punch
ing throughout. The men had been in
structed by the local boxing commis-
sion to unlimber and they followed
instructions to the letter.
Mitchell flashed one of the fastest
lefts ever seen in local ring, and it
brought home the bacon. Kilbane
slipped this blow in the early rounds,
1t in in such a way thereafter that the
champion just could not get his jaw
out Of the road. As the result he pre-
sented a CORY spectacle. In the eighth
round Mitchell shot snappy right
hook to Kilbane's left cheek bone just
under the eye, cutting the flesh to the
bone. Thereafter the now Of claret was
copious and when in the ninth Mitchell
brought the carmine from kilbane's
nose with a short left the champion
and his opponent both were covered
with blood.
The men entered the ring at the same

to open up with any real snap to their
efforts.
Kiibane took the third round easily.
He led with vicious right uppercut, and
soon followed with a right and left to
Mitchell came back strong in the fourth.
He opened up at full speed, and his great
left jab scored repeatedly. Kilbane
seemed to have no trouble at this time
in avoiding MitchelFs right. and Mitchell
soon relied completely on his left.
The fifth was even, with Kilbane's foot
work making the aggressiveness of Mitch
ell come to naught. Toward the end OF
the round Mitchell met two rushes from
Kilbane with some clever blocking, all
of the champions right and left hooks
finding but elbows or gloves.
Kilbane Takes Sixth Round.
Kilbane took the sixth round. but Mitch
ell came right back in the seventh and
earned the honors, after a toe-to-toe slug
ging match in the center Of the arena.
The eighth round cinched the fight for
the Milwaukeean. Mitchell fought at top
speed. and soon had Kilbane holding.
Breaking loose from a clinch, Mitchell
shot over ripping right and blood spurt-
ed from beneath kilbanes eye.
Mitchell forced it all through this ses-
sion and had a mile at the end. Mitchell
also took the ninth, and while Kilbane
came back with furious burst of speed
and a solid right to Mitchells face in
the tenth, his Garrison finish did not land
him at the even-steven mark by quite
margin.

MRS. ROSE MAKES SUCCESS IN
CALIFORNIA

The following account from the
Ceres, California Courier, indicates
that our old friends, Mr.. and Mrs
j. F. Rose, are prospering in Cali
fonia. Mrs. Rose made good show
ing with chickens while on the farm
south of Meridian, and is carrying on
the business in larger way now.
Anyone interested in chicken
raising should visit the Rosedale
Poultry farm, Mrs. j. F. Rose, pro-
prietor. She has as fine, healthy
bunch of Rhode Island Red chickens
as can be found. She also has an
ideal spot for them-plenty of shade
and yet plenty of sun and plenty
of green runs.
Mrs. Rose bought her first stock
from Willonghby, Ohio, some four
years ago. This was a pen of four.
Since then she has built up a line
of the finest strain of Reds to be
found in this locality, or perhaps a
much wider scope that that would
seem to imply. And her birds invar-
iably carry off large share of the
prizes wherever exhibited. In 1914
Mrs. Roses birds won 13 ribbons
and cup at the Newman show, in
1915 they took seven ribbons. They
are all fine healthy stock, and though
the pen that took a prize at the P.
p. l. e. is a bunch of beauties, the
same can be said of all the pens.
Mrs. Rose booked orders for 5000
baby chicks, besides many Matching
egs this season, and 2,300 of these
have been taken. With an incubator
capacity of 1900 eggs she can fill
a large order in a short time. She
keeps 200 breeding hens and has
about 800 choice chicks, but expects
to keep about 1,444 of this season. s
chicks. This Poultry farm maintains
13 pens, first prize pen at Frenso
show, fifth prize at p. p. l. E.,
which you could not buy for any
thing near $3.50, and -four other
prize-winning pens. Some of the
chicks were Matched from eggs that
sold for $3.50 each, and several of
her pullets cost $25. each. Ought to
be CLASSY, Ell? And they sure are,
too, or as chicken fanciers say,
they are real aristocrats.'
We certainly enjoyed visiting this
poultry farm and seeing the different
yards of chicks, though we usually
do not care for "aristocrats".

TO USE SURPLUS WATER POWER

Washington, D. c., May 31.-Af-
ter consultation with the Secretary
of the Interior, Congressman Addi-
son T. Smith has introduced a bill,
authorizing the Secretary to enter
into a lease for a period TO fiffiyt
years to the surplus power on gov
'ernment reclamation projects TO ir-
rigation disticts for the reclamation
of arid lands. The money derived
from such leases shall be covered
into the Reclamation fund and be
placed to hte credit of the project
from which said power is derived.
The enactment oft he proposed
law would be especially beneficial to
the Gem Irrigation district, adjoin-
ing the Boise-Payette project. There
are large power possibilities at the
Arrowrock Dam, and estimates have
been made of the cost of constructing
IA power plant and furnishing power
70 pumping purposes. The State of
Idaho has about ten thousand acres
of land within the Gem Irrigation
district and would be interested in
having water made available for this
land at minimum cost. The pro-
posed legislation gives preference in
the sale of power to irrigation dis
tricts which are mutual concerns,
and the government would not there
fore be entering the electrical field
in competition with commercial COM
panies.

Nearly three cars of cheese are

HEALTHOGRAMS
(By DR.. r. r. Daniels. }

Don't forget that honey, syrup, and
all sweets are winter foods
Greens of all kinds are the most
valuable Spring foods.
Coffee drinkers are the first to
have the back-ache
Just little care of the health dur
ing the Spring will make that season
as healthful as any othed.
A little care of the health from
day to day is of more real value than
all the health insurance.
Spring fever or that tired feeling
means too much heavy food at a
time when the warm weather makes
its utilization in the body impos-
sible.
tuberculosis is more prevalent
among non-meat-eating people and
among those who eat considerable
meat.
Diabetes is only a fatigue of the
starch-consuming organs it occurs
among those who for years have
eaten starches in excess.
Every year drugs play less i'm
portant part in the treatment of dsi-
ease, and good care and nursing a
more important part.
Edison tells us that the most inn
portant of all his discoveries is
that people eat too much and sleep
too much.
Eggs are usually eaten too fire.
quently. When eaten every day they
often cause what is commonly known
as billousness.
Buttermilk is a valuable food as
well as a disinfectant of the digestive
tube. The best buttermilk is made
by beating up with an egg-beater,
the clabber milk and cream, and ad-
ding a little salt.
Get out of your winter underwear
as early as possible and give your
skin a chance to breathe. Spring
colds are caused more frequently
by overeating the skin than by get
