ATHLETES, IN THE COURSE OF WAR {
WOULD HAVE THE ADVANTAGE Oven
CIVILIANS UNFRAMED IN Sports
Much Difference Between Enmity and Athletic
Competition, Yet Development Through Exer-
else Would Be of Benefit to Soldier
Byl GRANTLAND RICE

"WAR" advises contemporary is
w quite different game from sport.
There Is absolutely no connection between
the two. To be efficient in sport means no
part Of efficiency in war. a small weakling
with a rifle is the equal OF the greatest
athlete that ever lived. And shrapnel is no
respecter of speed or strength or athletic
skill"
This Is true enough-and Interesting
enough, as far as II goes--but the trouble
is that 1t doesn't go far enough. For there
Is more than a thin connection between
sport and war.
Tennis, golf baseball football and track
work all develop certain physical stamina
needed in long marches The man who
plays thirty-six holes of golf twice week
is soon able TO walk fifteen or eighteen miles
q day without the slightest fatigue. lie
will therefore have a big advantage over the
man lifted from some indoor occupation
who would need considerable training to
walk ten twelve miles without being
worn down. And competition in sport
tends to develop a certain cooness and
craft, linked with n certain amount of con-
fldence.
one weakling with rife might be the
equal Of n Wilding. But 10000 weaklngs
with 900 rifles would not he the equals
of 100000 Widings when the last test came
at the end OF a long, hard march or in
some charge where courage and stamina
were essential.
nation ofNathletes unframed in war,
would be no match for nonathletic nation
trained to shoot But other things being
nearly equal, there would be a decided ad-
vantage with the athletes.
one OF the main horrors OF any definite
break with Germany, whereby war was
assured, would be a conscription that would
bag such people as Freddy Welsh and Les
Darcy 1t would be nothing less than a
crime If after their careful sldesteppng and
crafty ducking they should at last be forced
to partake of pastlme so utterly devoid
of gate receipts. 1t would all be so utterly
cruel and depressing that we shudder to
think Of thep outcome. We are surprised
that the President did not consider the
painfulness of this situation when he de-
cided upon this course.

He Was Misunderstood

George Cartwright, the former Eastern
League official, was quoted early in the week
saying that the Southern nigh-German-
town High schooboy game was the fastest
he had witnessed in six or seven years
"Carty's" friends were at a loss to interpret
such statement, thinking he included the
big professionals in his remarks.
mo, you misunderstood me-" said George
in speaking on the subject today II meant
games played under the intercollegiate rules.
Basketball under these is not to be COM
pared in speed to that under the Eastern
League code. DO you realize that our big
professionals, like Greystock. Jasper and
Camden, could take a couple of college
teams and lose them at one time? Why,
the average college man would not know
whether he was playing one or ten men, the
play would be that fast"

BEEFSTEAK

BeefSteak is an article of food
which walks into a slaughter
house on four legs and rides out
in a wagon in chunks.
Some folks like it rare. Ex-
ceedingly rare. So rare in fact
that they tell the waiter to just
cripple theirs and drag it in.
Other folks don't like ii rare.
But with prices what they are
they find it rare whether they
like it or not. Either mighty
rare or totally extinct. One man
we know was carried to the hos
pital the other day singing:
"Oh, what is so rare as day
in June?
A piece of the COW that jumped
over the moon"
This condition should not ex-
ist.
We are in favor of more meat
on beefsteak.

Bees Help Fruit Growers.

Did you have a full apple crop
last year? Failure Of some
varieties of apples may be due
to lack of pollination. T. j.
Talbert, of the College of Agri-
culture, told Farmers Week
visitors at the University Of
Missouri recently how bees help
ed to make a fruit crop.
Mary varieties of apples like
Arkansas Black, Jonathan and
York Imperial are self sterile
and cross pollination is absolute
ly essential if a set of fruit is
obtained. Other varieties like
Ben Davis, Yellow Transparent
and Willow Twig are only partly
self-fertile and again cr~oss-poll-
fnation is necessary.
The numerous white snowy
flower clusters act as a guide to
the insects and may attract
them far away. When a bee
alights on a flower it's hairy
body may be covered with pollen
from another veriety of apple.
AS the bee works its way down
to the bottom of the flower to
get the nectar it rubs it's dusty
body against the stigma or
female organ of the flower and
cross-pollination is accomplish
ed.
1t is a well known fact among
the best fruit growers that the
weather conditions during fruit
bloom has much to do with the
setting of the fruit If the
weather is clear and warm at
blooming time the bees are
active and cross pollination pro-
ceeds rapidly, while if the
weather conditions are wet,
cloudy and cold the insects are
not active and usually a poor
set of fruit is secured. Strong
cold winds may often prevent
the bees from cross-pollinatin9
one side of the apple trees anc
this may account for the set Of
fruit on only one side of the
trees.
Actual counts and observa.
tions at blooming time have
shown that the honey bee is de
cidedly the most important in
sect in the work of pollinatinl
the fruit flowers. Many count.
have shown that from seventy
five to ninety per cent of the in
sects pollinating the blossoms
were honey bees.
The wind cannot be relieC
upon as an agency to transfer
pollen from apple tree to apple
tree throughout the orchard
This work must be accomplish
ed by insects, and the honey be,
is by odds the most importan.
/, of them all.
Bees will pay for their keep il
