The downward tendency Of price levels
continued thruout Mondays market in spite
Of reassuring developments.
Liquidation OF weak accounts and selling OF
investment stocks by holders who have be-

Of the market to make its long expected turn
for the better have furnished y depressing
element which has been all TO heavy In con
alteration Of the lack Of the buying power.
We cannot but feel In considering The price
levels In connection with values, that the
present wave must be nearing its end and
that the rails, a least. In view Of their

peerement Unearnsd.

At last the unearned decrement,
neglected brother CT prosperous un
earned increment, has come to its own.
Alderman Charles E. Merriam. has
dragged this too long forgotten child
Of the shifting city oct Of its obscur-
ity and made of 1t an argument for his
zone plan. Some Of the facts which
he has elected are startling. For Illus
tration these:
On the South side an apartment
building was erected, at a total cost
for land and construction Of $14,5OO.
A coal yard was later established or
the property adjoining, and the entire
value of the apartment building was
destroyed. II Wicker Park a residence
was built a few years ago, at a total
investment of something like $4,000.
The establishment Of a grocery store
led to a depreciation Of the values for
residence purposes, and the house was
recently sold at 5000.
The same solution is to follow the ex.
ample of European cities and of New
York and Los Angeles in this country
by dividing the city into residence. In
dustrial and other types Of zones. In
that way the useless destruction of
property might be reduced and, too,
which Is more important, the entire
city might be developed In accordance
with an intelligent plan.-Chicago Her.

RECORDS OF FUNG0 HITTING
Peter Schneider, Cincinnati Pitcher,
Bats Ball 437 Feet, 6 Inches
This 10 Authentic.

What Is the greatest distance a base
ball player can knock a ball, tossed
in the air and batted by himself, and
known in baseball as fungo hitting. On
the closing day of the season at Gin
%cinnati, Peter Schneider, a pitcher on
the Cincinnati team, won the long-dis-
lance hitting recording by batting a
ball 437 feet, 6 inches. This is the
authentic record for fungo hitting,
though eve a better record Is
claimed.
Five years ago, in a f1eld-day con-
test at Comiskey park, in Chicago, Ed
Walsh Of the Chicago White Sox bat
ted a ball 419 feet and one-half inch.
The best record for fungo hitting up
to that time was credited to Mike
Mitchell, who. while an %outfelder with
Cincinnati. in a field-day meet at Gin
c%innati, batted q ball Alb feet, Sh
inches.
The record claimed, but not anthem
ticated. is credited to Larry Miller,
%outielder, who had a trial with Brook
Ign, and In June Of this year, while
playing with Winnipeg, in the North
ern league. is said to have batted q
ball 43S feet, 2 inches.

SLOGAN Worth Remembering.

1.-THE city Is our home-help us to
keep it clean and healthful." This Is
the slogan Of the public health depart-
ment Of the city Of Dallas. 1t would
be good for oil the people If all the
people would bear 1t in mind oil the
time. II they did, they would not
spit on the sidewalk, they would not
throw dirty papers on the street, they
would not keep i'll smelling garbage
cans to offend the nostrils Of every
passer.by, they would not maintain
dirty outhouses to spread disease
among their neighbors, they would not
use vulgarity and profanity on the
streets. they would not make vile re-
marks about women Of their city
among whom their own wives and sis
tiers and mothers must move and with
whom they associate. and they would
not do a hundred other things that de-
tract from the cleanliness and health Of
city life.-Houston tTex.) Post.

BEST PART OF PROTECTION
Apart from Appearance, There 10 Ex-
eeIlent Reason Why Trees Should
Be Planted, Along Highways.

"Shade trees, %judiciously planted.
are not only a large addition to the
beauty of a region, but they are Of
great value in protecting the high
ways from deterioration" Such is the
opinion Of the State College Of For
estry at Syracuse, which has complet-
ed Investigations showing that nine
tenths Of the roadsides in the rural
districts Of New York r entirely bare
of shade trees. The college authorities
maintain that where overhead wires
are numerous, some sort Of bushes can
be planted, and where the roadway, as
distinguished from the banks at the
side, must be narrow, some small tree
will prevent any injurious effect upon
the vegetation in the adjoining fields.

HEAVIEST ON FARMER
Modern Warfare Said to Make Great
est Claim on Those Who Are
TiIiers Of the Soil.

Investigators having in view the In
terest of the farmer as a class make
claim to the discovery that modern
warfare bears heaviest upon the hllers
IT the soil and not, as popularity sup
posed, upon the factory hand. In the
trenches on the French front GO per
cent Of the soldiers are small farm
ers and only IL per cent are industrial
workers. This is due to the fact that
the newer weapons. the qvick-6ring
cannon, the machine guns, the maya
zine rifle. the gigantic howitzer and
the bomb throwers demand highly or
ganized and efficient factories. So do
the drafts for clothing, steel helmets.
concentrated foods and other supplies.
It takes several active and expert
workers at home to maintain enc SOL
der In the field. The farms can be
cared for by the old men, the women
and the children. Therefore the army
organizers are selling the farmers and
exempting the more valuable factory
employees. both statements, Of course.
being relative.
What is true of France in this re-
spect is equally applicable to England
and Russia and the other allies of the
progressive type. The extent of the
exemption in England alone is shown
by the recent announcement that con-
scription would be applied to men ut
for military duty excused previously
to perform other work. This draft. 1t
was said. would produce 1,25O.OOO sol.
diers. Agricultural leaders, possessed
Of these rather astonishing facts, are
beginning to spread the information
among their followers as part of a
propaganda against militarism. Quick
and forceful protest may be expect
ed, as the American farmer is not
prone to keeping silent when his In
terests and his own skin are imperiled.

TREATING HOGS WITH WORMS
Prescription Given for Pig Weighing
About 100 Pounds-elve Salt, Sui.
phur and Charcoal.

To expel worr's from hogs the fol-
lowing prescription is right for a pig
weighing about 100 pounds: Santonin,
FIVE grains; calomel, two grains; areca
nut, two grains; sodium bicarbonate,
one dram. Keep the hogs of feed

Of the same day give a mash of wheat
bran. This will flush the bowels.
Gather all worms and burn them.
], Worms often ire the f%orerunner Of
disease.
II a hog or pig has a big appetite
and thriftless condition, with dry dead
hair, 1t is a good indication of the
presence Of worms.
Salt and sulphur and charcoal should
be kept in every pigpen and pig yard
so the pigs can help themselves.
This is a corrective and a proven
tive Of worms.

TO INSURE SOCCER PLAYERS
Most Unique Idea Ever Evolved IN
Sport Tried Out Successfully
In California.

Probably the most unique idea ever
evolved in sport has been tried out sue
cessfully in California and Is being
considered by soccer football officials
elsewhere. This is the establishment
Of a mutual protection insurance COM
pany for the league players. Hereto
fore soccer players, who are exposed
to many injuries in the course of a
season, played at their town personal
risk and many suffered the conse-
quences of their accidents, as the reg
ular insurance companies will not
handle these hazards.
The California Football association,
which has suffered at various times
through these ms of injuries, finally
has decided to insure its W ath-
letes. Funds are secured through a
small assessment Of players, through
a sale Of programs, and by smokers
and other sources. The plan provides
for compensation up to $50 for any In
jury a player may sustain.

Offer, $1,000 to Save DOG.

Just how big a place a dog may take
in ones affections was demonstrated
strongly when Miss X. E. Henesey of
this city lost a Yorkshire terrier, York
Sunshine Girl. The little terrier
weighed only a couple of pounds. but
its owner would not have sold 1t for
anything. There was a swinging door
between. the rooms in Miss Henesey's
apartment. and the dog was caught In
it as it slammed. Knowing that there
was no veterinarian lear by, Miss
Henesey called a physician, who hap
pened to be a hlgh-priced specialist.
When he saw what the case was he
said he was no veterinarian.
Here's a check for $1,000" she said.
"You have nc objection to earning that.
and If you can save her 1t is yours"
The dog had a broken neck. how.
ever. and was beyond saving.--New
York Herald.
