The Road To He'll.

In 1928 the schoolhouse to be
used for the discussion of the
questions as to whether railroads
were practical or not, and the
matter was recently called to mind
by an old document that reads in
part as follows:
You are welcome to use the
school house to debate all proper
questions in, but such things as
railroads and telegraphs are i'm
possibilities and lnfidelity. There
is nothing in the word of God
about them. If God had designed
that His intelligent creature should
travel at the frightful speed Of 10
miles an hour by steam he would
nave said SO through Ills holy
prophets. 1t is a device of Satan
to lead immortal souls down to
hell. THE Traffic World.

HOME GARDENING

Atlanta, Ga. - (SpeciaD - "The
greatest obstacle to permanent farm
prosperity in the south is the store
bill made for food and grain that
could and should be grown on every
southern farm" says H. G. Hastings,
president Of the Southeastern Fair
Association and of the Georgia Cham
Der of Commerce, in an interview on
agricultural conditions in this terri
tory.
"a real garden" says Mr.. Hastings,
properly prepared and planted, and
kept planted throughout the season,
will help more to decrease store bills
than anything else the farmer can do.
There are lots Of what | term one
planting gardens made, gardens with
few struggling rows Of beans, few
d1zen cabbages and tomato plants,
VITA some watermelon off to one cor
ner, but that's not real gardening any
more than a youngsters first drawing
Of a cat or a deg on his slate, is fine
art Our southern folks generally
dent take the garden seriously, when
as a matter of fact the right kind of
a garden, containing a full line Of
vegetables and kept busy all season,
is reasonably sure of furnishing at
least half the living Of the family.
Il have never seen one crop sec
ton, regardless of what particular one
crop was grown, that did not have
poverty-stricken look, with poor school
buildings, churches and homes.
81 have never seen a diversified
section that did rot have the signs Of
prosperity sticking cut all over it.
S''And on practically every farm in
these prosperous diversified sections
the home garden has an honored
place.
Il haven't thing in the world
against the supply and general mer-
chants, but if all Of our people would
take the home garden seriously, half
Of them would have to go cut Of busi-
ness for lack of trade. Give your gar.
den a square deal in 1917.

FRED MITCHELL COMING TO
SIGN CUB HoLD-oUTS
BY Mark Shields.


Cubs, will be in Chicago by Wednes-
day night, prepared to take up his
residence here and go to work on
several pieces of business that Pres.
Weeghman has been unable to
close up.
Except for trips involving negoti-
ations for players, Mitchell will not
leave Chicago again until the Cubs
hike toward Pasadena for spring
training. With only three regulars
signed to 1917 contracts, and several
positions/of the team needing new
strength, Mitchell is needed close to
headquarters.
President Weeghman has let it be
known that he tried personally to
swing a deal for Well-known player
last week, but failed because he had
not the time to spare from his other
business enterprises. Another dick
er is being considered now, and the
details of it will be placed entirely in
the hands of Mitchell, along with a
check Of ample proportions.
The contracts of Vic Safer, Cy
Williams, Leslie Mann, Jim Archer
and Art Wilson have not yet been re-
eei7ed at the Cub offices. Claude
Hendrix and several rookie pitchers
are in line, and. Larry Doyle has a
contract with one more year to run,
as has Steve Yerkes, who probably
will have a utility role with the in
field.
Signing the recalcitrants is large
task in itself There are salary diff
ferences with nearly every member
of the 1915 team. Cy Williams had
evidenced no dissatisfaction, but I'M
doubtedly Cy began to think when
heerecaIied his own $4,000 contract
and noted what some Of his pals had
been receiving.
Hendrix sensibly accepted mon
ster cut in his $500 salary. Claude
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1917-01-29

and that incentive may cause the
Kansas curver, to settle to real work
and pitch the ball of which he is ca
pable. For years Hendrix has alter.
mated a good season with a bad one,
and this is his turn for prosperous
year.
The bonus system may be followed
with several players during the COM
ing season, not only with the Cubs
but among other clubs. Cuts in fiat
salaries were to be expected, but
players who do their work earnestly
and well will be rewarded.
Art Staff won the Tribune Silver
Skates Derby at Humboldt park yes
terday in a field of 141 starters, di-
vided into five heats. The Northwest
Skating club star Travelled the two
miles in SAP As. He left immedi-
ately after the race for -Saranac
Lake, N. Y, where he completes in
the national championships.
Norwegian Turner'S won the clubs
annual ice derby at the same park
with II points Northwest club was
second, Staff winning the One-miIe
race.
The defeat of Kid Williams by Pete
Herman may clear up the bantam
situation, which has been in a mud
die since Johnny Ertle won on foul
from Williams in 1915.
Herman is willing to clear up the
muddle by meeting Ertle in a 20
round decision bout at any time a
promoter can be found to stage the
match.
Whether ErtIe will sign or not is
the only question now. Ertle, fol-
lowing the example of all champions,
has carefully nursed his clouded title,
fighting nothing but 1O-round node
cisiOn bouts.
No real effort was ever made to
match Ertle and Williams after the
1915 bout and each claimed the title,
