cut In salary after serving the Pirates
through the best years Of wonderful
career lie decided definitely and deter
mlnedly to discard his uniform.
BY his action--and 1t Is thought IN
Pittsburgh that he will adhere to his
tlecision-the game loses one OF it's
most picturesque figures. Forty three
he was Feb. "a last, the oldest player
In the big leagues
Dispatches regularly were sent out
from Pittsburgh to the effect that
preyfus had signed recruit who
would fill Wagners shoes. These dis
patches We're sent out for years, but
with the passing Of time 1t became
more aud more evident that the shoes
Of Hans Wagner were peculiarly large,
and so Hans Wagner continued to play
shortstep for the Pirates.
The old boy Is slowing up, the fans
In the stands would say, but the old
boy stuck and continued to outplay
many Of his rival shortstops and oil
those who aspired to his position with
the Pirates. But now 1t appears that
the venerable Dutchman is through
forever.
Through career OF twenty years
Wagner achieved batting average o.
1874. He has played in more games
than any player In the history Of big
league baseball, and not once was he
removed from game by an umpire.
He was married few months ago
to Miss Bessie Baine Smith Of Grafton.
Pa. Mrs. Wagner is twenty-six, but
she was six years younger when It was
flrst ruinored that the pair were to
be married. The ceremony was final
~ performed last December, and all
comparisons between Wagner's speed
as base runner In his early days and
US a wO0er ceased.

BENEFITS OF CONCRETE ROAD
Enables Farmer to Haul Two Loads
at One Trip Instead OF One Lead
at Two Trims.

Reduced to simple terms, a concrete
road helps the farmer haul two loads
at one trip instead of one loan at
two trips: or, it doubles the size of
the load and cuts in two the tractive
power necessary to transport farm
produce. With less capital tied I'D In
horses there is more cash to put into
equipment to produce more cash. The
concrete road reduces the strain on
horses and lengthens their lives. It
reduces wear on wagons and harness.
Where motOrtruckS are used it less
ems tire and fuel expense It puts
the farmer in state OF preparedness
TO reach markets quickly when prices
are best, and he can take his profits
and get home with more cash than he
could by slow hauling on a bad road.
1t adds TO the acreage value OF farm
because it increases its earning pos
sibilities. A concrete road makes all
of these advantages permanent, bring
ing its toll of profit to the farmer
daily in the form of time, money and
effort saved.

FATAL DISEASE OF TURKEYS
Authorities Claim That Overlooking

Causes of BIackhead.

Some authorities claim that over

fatal disease OF blackhead, and when
pOults are crowded in their feeding
liver soon en1arges, becomes diseased
and death is the only result.
Various other sources are given as
the causes OF the blackhead in turs
keys, and the suggestion is made that
the youngsters be kept on new ground,
away from the other domestic fowls,
free from wet and dampness, and fed
carefully so as not to weaken or strain
their digestive organs.
