AE WAS NOT TO BE OUTCOME
Roosevelt Would Not Allow Magazine
Wrlter.Sportsman to Tell
the Biggest Yarn.

Colonel Roosevelt gave a luncheon
In his New York office one day to
company of young magazine writer's.
These young writer's had had many
adventures. and they told the colonel
many interesting stories. One. how.
ever. Il sportsman. drew the long how.
After the sportsman had drawn the
long bow almost to the breaking point
in yarn about hippopotamus. Colo
mel Roosevelt fixed his glittering eye
glasses on the criminal and began:
LET me tell you an experience of
my own. my boy, an experience almost
as incredible as yours. In '9S was
shooting grizzly bear in the Rockies. I
tracked grizzly to high peak one
day. advanced toward it along the
edge Of precipice 300 feet high. Get
ting good shot at last. I let drive,
hut missed. The bear came for me
then like lightning. took aim again,
but as was about to fire my foot
slipped. fell. and my gun dropped
and rolled over the precipice. There I
lay. unarmed and helpless, and the
maddened grizzly not six feet away"
Here the colonel paused and took a
sip from the tall glass of milk-milk is
his favorite beveragAbefore him.
The mendacious young man frowned
impatiently.
"Well?" he said. "Well? Go on.
What happened?"
The colonel. looking him calmly in
the eye. replied:
'The grizzly devoured me-"

Only Rubber.Produelno Plant.

Successful attempts have been made
to bring under profitable cultivation
the desert rubber plant. guayule. The
wild shrubs have long been collected
In great quantities in Mexico, and the
rubber. which grades much lower than
para. is extracted by such simple pro.
cesses as to make Its production very
profitable. The task of the developing
methods Of cultivation, says a Carne-
gle institute report, has now been sue
cessfully accomplished by DR.. w. b.
MacCallum, who. in making a genetic
analysis of the plant. has found that
1t includes several elementary species,
which do not readily interbreed. Stud
les Of the plant have been made ut the
desert laboratory, Tucson, while in
the same neighborh0od company has
purchased 1000 acres of land on which
to establish guayule culture. This is
the only rubber-producing plant grow
ing within the borders of the United
States.

War Methods
Changing
By E-Goveruof Hoard

Against our will, we have been
forced into the greatest conflict ever
known. Our national life and liber-
ties and those of our children are at
stake, and we are in this war with
very mcager preparation. FOrtunate7
~ In the last three years to supply
the allies we have learned how to-
manufacture in large quantity guns,
munitions and other war supplies.
This has given us tens of thousands
Of mechanics and artisans so trained
that a large output of these war nec7
essities can be quickly had.
This war has made clear what we
all ought to have known and that Isl
that the volunteer system of service
utterly fails in crisis, besides being
obviously unjust and undemocratic.,
Experience shows there is only one
plan that will work and that is uni-i
versal military training and SERVICE
Aside from the training that will now
be given the men called by the selec-
tive draft, we must permanently adopt
the plan of giving every young mani
before he enters business career al
least six months Of intensive training
to build up his physique and develops
him in strength and virility. Nothing
else will do so much for him: these;
men to be subject to call for service,
and they should he made available fol1
any kind of service necessary to MAIN
tain the army and navy in time OF
war. 1t is quite as necessary to plow
corn as to Iii. trenches. \ man may he
able to render higher service to his
country behind the pillow or at a lathe
In workshop than by operating a
machine gun in battle line. Every
one must be brought to understand
that he owes a duty to his country
that in crisis must he paid in per-
Sonal service of such kind as the coun-
try may require of him. No matter
what that service may be, six months
of intensive military training is the
best possible preparation he can have
for it.
In return for the blessings and on-
pOrtunitieS of freedom we enjoy, we
owe our country a duty that must he
paid even if life must be sacrificed.
We have no right to shirk responsible
ity and endeavor to place the burden
upon others.
We must win this war, or God help
us. Germany is a mighty foe and to
defeat her we must 60 the limit. If
we do not win, liberty and popular gov
eminent may be lost to the world.
There is one lesson we must now
learn, that we should have learned
years ago, and that is never again to
be caught in position where we are
so completely unready to defend our
selves. We must adopt and perma.
nently maintain universal military
training. Without this our national
life will never be secure. There is no
assurance that the present will be the
last war. Such predictions have been
made after every war. There is only
one way and that is to be strong and
ready. 1t is quite probable that if we
had been prepared the kaiser would
not have trampled upon our rights and
we would not have been forced into
this awful war. Now that we are in
we must go through to the end and the
harder we fight the sooner it will be

POULTRY POINTERS
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

When chicks are confined to lin.
tied range, the ground should be
spaded up at frequent intervals, so us
to provide fresh ground for them to
scratch in.
Any pullet that does not begin lay.
Ing before the first extremely cold
weather will seldom lay many eggs
during December and January.
On the farm where pullets have
plenty Of range. hopper feeding gives
very satisfactory results; that is, Ger.
tain food is put into self-feeding hop
per where 1t is always available.
There is no economy in giving only
one kind Of feed, because fowls and
chicks need variety in order to get
the required amount of the different
kinds Of nourishment.
A dirty water dish offers q good
chance for the distribution of diseuse
germs, and all dishes should be cleaned
and scalded with boiling water fire.
quently during hot weather.
Unless there is plenty Of gravel or
other grit which the fowls can pick up
about the place, they should always
have box of commercial grit where
they can reach it ut any time, for grit
is necessary for perfect digestion.
Geese do not need shelter except dur.
ing cold winter weather, when open
sheds may be provided.
AS the weather changes in the fall
it is poor policy to let the pulleti
nnSt outside. Frosts and chilling
winds retard their development and
cause Il serious setback from which
they are slow to recover.
If your flock is penned up, do not
neglect the meat constituent of the
ration.
The chief danger in feeding oats lies
in the hulls. 1t is too expensive to
buy hulled oats, and about the only
way to eliminate the trouble is to soak
the oats, or, still better. sprout them.
Poultry uses feed more economical.

Banana a Bread Frun.

The orange, apple and banana can.
not be compared for the reason that
they represent three extreme types.
The orange contains no starch and the
banana is nearly oil starch. The apple
stands midway between the two. One
can make u meal Of ripe bananas, but
ripe oranges would, by themselves,
hardly suffice. The orange is a re-
freshing food, the banana u nouriSh-
ing foSd. The orange and til" apple
should be consumed with other food,
and whereas one mi hit eat half Il loaf
of bread and half IL do:nll apples, ne
would be very foolish 70 eat half
loaf of bread and Il half dozen BAN
anas. The banana is really bread

M'GRAW STILL HOPES JIM
THORPE MAY LEARN TO HIT
s;iant Leader Seems obsessed With
Idea That Big Indian May Vet
Become Great Ball Player.

There is something about Jim
Thorpe that John McGraw can't re,
list.
The Giant leader has sent Thorpe
on his way several times since he
signed him in 1913. but has always
brought him back to the Giant fold
tor another trial.
Mc(haw appears to be obsessed with
the idea that some day Thorpe is goI
ing to make wonderful ball player.
He has made Thorpe sort of hobby
and nothing would please him better
than being able to teach the big In.
dian how to hit major league pitching
consistently.
When Thorpe was sent to the Reds
early in the season everyone thought
1t was q final farewell insofar as the
Giants were concerned. But when
Mathewson finally turned him back to
The New York club, in August, Nc.
Graw decided to keep him ON the pay.
roll. and as result Jim became one
Of the eligibles for the worlds series.
Lucky for Thorpe? Well, rather.
Any other manager in the two big
leagues would have turned Jim over
to some minor league club without a
moments hesitation, and he would
have watched the worlds series from
the outside.
In everything but hitting Jim
Thorpe is very capable ball player.
He fields we'll and runs the bases well.

He can cover Outfield territory with
less effort than the average fielder, and
he is by no means the slowest thinker
In the big leagues today.
But when it comes to wulloping the
ball Jim is lacking. A curve ball will
cause Jim to tie himself into q bow
knot, and every pitcher in the National
league is Jerry to his weakness. Now
and then Thorpe gets hold of a fast
one, and when he does it is tough on
the fences. for he is lOng-fy hitter
But the trouble is that jim doesn't hit
EN- often enough to be of much use
as a regular, for the outtielder who
fails to hit has no business in the line.
UP of a major league club.
Thorpe is one of the most wonder.
fully developed athletes in the game
today. He is big. powerful, and fast
on his feet. His fame as q star on
track and field and on the gridiron
is well-known. but his fame as ball
player is u minus quantity.
Thorpe is twenty-seven years old.
He was born at Tucson, Ariz., in 1890
and he stands feet II inches in
height and weighs 1876 pounds. He
got his A. B. C.'s in baseball at Car
Isle, and before signing with the
Giants he played with Wilmington.
N. c.: Rocky Mount, Fayette and
Beaumont. Since he first came to the
New York club he has played with
Jersey City. Harrisburg and Milwau-
kee, and although he always hits we'll
in the minor leagues his bat fails him
when he faces big league slabbers.
Lucky Jim Thorpe? Yea, Bot
