TO EXTERMINATE PESTS
Food Administrator Starts Campaign
to Save Food Supply.

Gophers are to be exterminated as
one means of saving food, according
to bulletin issued recently by the
newly created food department at
Washington, of which Herbert Hoover
is director and which will have charge
of food exhibits by the government at
the fairs throughout the country.
This campaign will not be directed
solely to gophers, however, as there
are other pests the government consid
ers should be included in the list.
Among these are rats and mice and
destructive insects which take such an
immense toll out of the growing crops
and also the stored food
To this end Mr.. Hoover has appealed
to entomologists in every state in
which food training camps are to be
held asking them to prepare compre-
hensive exhibits which will show how
great loss is caused each year by
rats, gophers, mice and insects and
showing how both farmer and city resi-
dents may successfully combat the
pests.
1t is along such lines that the work
Of the food training camps will be d.
rected by the government in its effort
to produce and conserve it's food sup
ply to be used to win the big war.

"sKYLINE" LOGGING LATEST
Modern Methods of Western Camps
Said to Be Cheaper and More Eff
cient Than the Old Ways.

In the logging camps of Oregon and
Washington Skyline" method of log
ging is proving much cheaper and more
efficient than the former method Of
dragging out logs from the forest by
a donkey engine and cables operating
on the ground, says Popular Mechan-
les Magazine. The skyline plan is to
run a cable through blocks or pulleys
suspended at great height on giant
trees, so as to form a sort of trolley
line by which the logs are hoisted into
the air and then hauled over the tops
of ordinary trees and other Obstruc-
tons to the rOllway, where they are
loaded aboard freight cars for ship
ment.
The donkey engine which operates
the skyline has five drums, including
two for main lines and two for trip
lines. The top cable, from which the
log is suspended, is one of the main
lines, while the other is used to haul
the log. In operation the top cable
is lowered with it's block, or trolley,
directly over the log to be picked up !;
it is then pulled taut, raising the log
with it by means of a "choker," or
steel tongs. In the air log can, of
course, be moved much faster than on
the ground.

ORIGIN OF BASEBALL
Real Home of Our National Game
Is Hoboken, New Jersey.
knickerbockers Defeated New York
Cities in Four-lnning Contest, June
IL, 1e46-First to Formulate
Playing Rules.

Several cities have claimed the
honor as the birthplace of baseball.
Boston says that game called New
England" was the forerunner Of the
game as it is known today. Philadel-
phia says no, "town ball" is the parent
of baseball. The latter game, 1t Is
said, was played by an organized club,
the Olympics, as far back as 1888. The
early. game of FOUNDERS" was an
earlier phase of the same game.
The real home of baseball, when all
is said and done, is-hold on a minute
-Hoboken, N. j.
It was there that, n years ago, the
first bona fide baseball game between
clubs was played. The contenders
were the Knickerbockers and the New
York Cities, and the game was played
on the Elysian fields, near Jersey City.
That was on June IA, 1916. The Ely
sian fields are now the site Of Hobo
ken. The Knickerbockers were organ
lied in New York in September, 1845.
They were the first to formulate play
ing rules.
The New Yorks organized a little
later and adopted the same code. Both
of those clubs played several games
with scrub teams picked from among
the spectators before they faced each
other on that June day in 1916.
Under the rules that obtained at
that time, the first team to make p
runs was the victor. The game lasted
four innings, the Knickerbockers win
ing, but history does not record the
score of their opponents.
The Knickerbockers found their
first real rivals in the Gothams, organ
lied in 1850, and the Greenpoint Eek
fords and the Morrisania Unions, or
ganized in 1856. The Olympics Of
Philadelphia early adopted the New
York game, and the Athletics, Key
stones and Quaker Citys later fought
for supremacy, while in Boston the
Olympics were organized in 1854, and
a little later the Elm Trees disputed
honors with the pioneers.
But heavens! Just think of it.!
Twenty-one runs in four innings.
