Stovall Is So Today.

Out on his ranch in California
George Stovall, aforetime famous
first baseman, is being slapped on the
back, for this is Georges seth birth
day. He was born in Leeds, Mo-, and
any time George wants the presfden.
tial nomination the citizens of Leeds
will give it to him. Stovan began to
play baseball for a living back in
1902 with Pendleton, Ore, and finish.
ed the season with Portland He
started out as pitcher. but he put
his wing on the blink with his first
appearance as Pendleton player
He was with San Francisco and Salt
Lake in the Pacific National in 1903,
and again tried to pitch. The fol-
lowing year he was engaged as man.
ager of the Burlington, Ia, club, but
in July was bought by Cleveland, and
while with the Maps developed into a
big league first baseman. In 1911
he was appointed pilot of the Cleve.
land club for Jim McGuire's unexpir-
ed term, and the following year be-
came manager of the st. Louis
Browns. Stovall might be holding
big league job now but his activities
with the Federal League put him In
bad with the magnates. When he
jumped to the Feds and became man
ager Of the Kansas City club he in
duced many other big league players
to follow his example. StovalPs pet
aversion during his diamond days
seemed to be umpires, and the rela-
tionship which existed between him
and them could not exactly be called
cordial.

OF
REVOLT WHICH GAVE
US "MAGNA CHARTA''

The constitutional liberty of Eng
land and Of all the dominions and
colonies comprising the British En-
pre- as well as of the United States,
may be traced back to a date just 703
years ago today, Nov. 20, 1914, when
the Archbishop Of Canterbury and the
Barons of England met at St. Ed
mondsbury and raised the standard of
the revolt against the tyranny and
wickedness of King John. It was a
supreme moment in the history Of the
world when those men dared to defy
the power and authority Of one who
claimed to rule by divine right, and
whose word was law. In the followe
ing January the barons presented
their demands to King John, who de-
ferred his answer. In June the vicious
and cowardly ruler was forced to sign
a. Runnymede, near Windsor. 1t was
here that English liberty was born.
The original manuscript of the charter
Lincoln, England, and it's influence
lives in THE constitution of England
and the United States.
In the Magma Charta the barons
forced the king to the stipulation that
all irregular taxation should cease,
and to concede that freeman, mer-
chants and Villains as bond labor
ers were then called, should be Sc
cure against all but legally imposed
penalties. The charter established
that great principle Of habeas corpus,
still vital in protecting individual lib
erty, and the law of trial by jury. John
soon repented his granting of the act
and sought to tear up the charter. Sc
curing permission to do so from the
pope. Thereupon the barons invited
to England Prince Louis, the son OF
Philip Augustus, and might have
made him king If John had not died
in 1916. Johns son, Henry Ill, in
herited much of the weakness and vi
ciousness of his father, and repeatedly
violated the terms of the Magma Char
ia.
The nation, taught by bitter tyran-
ny the necessity of building up insti-
tuuions to restrain and limit the royal
will, was equal to the great task be-
fore it. In 1858 there was convened
the great national council of Oxford
the first assembly to bear the nalne
of parliament. King Henry III. was
forced to confirm the great charter
and to entrust the reforms to a com
mittee of twenty-four barons. When
the monarch sought to repress the re-
bellion of the barons, the latter, LED
by the Earl Of Leicester, attacked the
monarch in arms and made him 8
captive, while Leicester, governing In
the name of the royal prisoner, organ
lied the first complete representation
of the English nation. This represen-
tation consisted of the election tc
Parliament of two barons for each
Il
or borough of each county. In this
assembly the Parliament of the future
first began to take shape, the repse-
sentattves of the burghers and the
petty nobility subsequently becoming
the House Of Commons, while the
Barons laid the foundation for the
House of Lords.

CHICKEN FAT is
VALUABLE

Do you throw away the body fat of
poultry-biy layers of clean, sweet
yellow fat around the gizzard and
found elsewhere around the intestines
Of the chicken? If you do, say spec
ialists of the United States Depart
ment of agriculture, you are throwing
away fat which French housewives
consider the finest of fats for making
cakes and especially puff paste. In
certain seasons in New York. and
other big cities this fat is so highly
esteemed that it brings as much as
$1.10 per pound. So great is the de-
mand for this fat that many people
make a business of collecting it from
butchers and others who dress poul-
try before delivering it to customers.
Housewives would do well to insist on
having it delivered if they buy their
poultry dressed.

his voyage today.
Mr.. Mason's principal mission is to

Considering the present world con-

their physical, mental and moral state.
Such as are inadmissible under our
immigration laws will, il possible, be
assisted to return to their native
countries while proper connection
will be made for the others with their
relatives and friends in the United
States.
There are at least 5000 stranded
Jewish emigrants between Yokohama
and Hardin, Manchuria, and most of
them are women and children eager
to join the heads of their families al
