CUBS TO Be ON
HONOR SYSTEM
Fred Mitchell, New Manag-
er, Makes Announcement
Soon After His Arrival.

Chicago, Jan. 6.-That ball players
of the Cub team will be on the honor
system in regard to their habits Off
the ball field was one of the many
things said by Fred Mitchell, new
leader Of the North Siders, soon after
his arrival here. There will be no
training rules. In discussing many
angles of the work he is about to un-
dertake, Mitchell was asked if he fa-
drinking in any form. card playing, or
staying out after midnight.
mo. l don't believe in training
rules" he said II believe in letting
the boys look after themselves. OF
course. expect the fellows to be in at
a reasonable hour and 1 expect them
to refrain from anything which will
hurt their ball playing but rules are
not needed. All i need is look at
the face of each one the next day and
l can tell whether anything wrong
has been going on.
you know when you look into the
faces of squad Of men every day
for several hours, it isn't hard to see
when one of them is not in normal
condition. doubt if set Of rules
would protect them. believe IN put
ting them on theeir honor in that
matter and if that fails to stop any
of them, those who fall will not be
with the club long.
II shall make no rule against drink
ing. Ball players ought to know what
intemperance will do to them. There
will be no rule against cigarettes be-
cause the players ought to know about
them too. I have no objections to
card games, providing Of course, the
game has a reasonable limit. Some
players might be harmed by playing
ten cent limit more than others would
be hurt by dollar limit. When
your men are playing cards you don't
need to wonder where they are. You
know they are up in one of the boys
rooms. OF course. card games
shouldn't cut into sleeping hours.
my experience in associating close
~ with ball players for many years
has been that most Of them don't need
any rules, and those who do are al
ways breaking them."
Mitchell's ideas of discipline off the
field, while not differing from those Of
many other managers, indicate his at
titude on the whole problem of man
aging a ball team. He appears to be
the kind Of man who will be in close
touch with all his players and COM
mand their condolences in all personal
matters. Instead Of set rules, 1t
seems he employees only common
sense in all he does.

is more nearly the similitude today.
GrOwls and a few struggles for de
Tense, little of offense, have been all
that con be honestly accredited to
Russia since the establishment of a
republic CD in that land
Now, with everything in tumult,
comes the assertion that peace is a.!
that is sought; that war will cease s.
far as Russia is concerned; and that
it is taken as a fact may be judged by
the reports that Germany is with
.irawing her forces frC.A Russia and
preparing to mass them against the
allies on the western front.
If the United States ever had the
idea that this wa rwould be for it a
mere passing plaything event, that
idea is most completely shattered by
the situation in Russia today
OF course, when this country went
into the thing, it went in with he
knowledge that it was likely TO be
long affair, bloody period, and cost

The part this country was to play
was, we believe, wei mapped out in
the cousels of the allies and our own
generals and administration heads
What was decided on then, is become

than was supposed at first.
The United States may as we'll io1ti

LITTLE FARMS.

An advance note has been suonded
regarding a great nationel need by
Senator Harding, OF Ohio, in his ad-
vocacy of little farm for the people.
I He wants to see that every soldier gets
! a small farm when he returns from
the war. lis, according OF the Ohio
senator, will go along way toward the
solving of probhlems that will follow
with the coming of peace
Attention is particularly directed to
he vast amount ofarable land lying
in the vicinity Of many of the larger
cities. If this could be developed
into small farms, its cultivation would
mean much in decreasing transporta
ton requirements by cutting of long
hauls. 1t would also mean lower
prices for city dwellers as well as
a source of income to the thousands
who raised small crops. Besides
there would be a better adjustment
metween the numbers of the indus
trial Wage-earners and of the tillers.
Of the soil. And the nation as a whole
would be strengthened by the assur-
ance of an abundant food crop.
According to the Ohio senator, there
are 30,O00,O0O acres of unused land
in New England that might be grow
ing crops In the middle states 35 900,
600 acres are lying idle The Pacific
coast States are estimated to hold
1S0,000,000 acres OF unused but disable
soil. For the entire country 500, COO
coo acres available for the making of
small farms awaint occupancy
1t is a matter Of common knowledge
that the small farms of France have
been largely contributory to the saw
ing of the life of that nation in the
present struggle as they were also
the means of meeting the fearful in
demnity placed pom France after the
Franco-Prssian war A large measure
of England's food dependency is char
geable to her neglect of smallfarm
development. The presen twar is
making a change there, however, the
English will be better off in this re
spect after the war.
,}st now perhaps this country needs
cultivation on a grand scale raEner
than through the decentralized sys-
tenn involving production on small
areas by inexperienced labor. Grant
ing as much, the fact fails to dicredit
the general idea of small-farn de-
velopment Community tractors and
other methods of labor saving can be
into the rural community
schee. 1t dobtless is a problem for
the government to consider. Others
Of eqally vast scope and Of no less inn
pc.tance are being taken up, and hui
man material is being made over and
assigned to unaccustomed pursuits OF
less value to the nation than that Of
raising food.
