Last season the majority of the
pitchers were having their first ex-
perience as regulars and were apt
to break under fire. They start this
season with the balance that comes
from years finging to big league
batters.
Rowdy Elliott has cemented him
self into a job as regular catcher for
the Cubs, displacing Art Wilson. Viii
son caught the first two games in
Cincinnati, Elliott being on the sick
list. Art was in good health yester-
day, but so was Elliott, and Rowdy
went back into the fray.
Elliott is a player after MitcheII's
ideas. He is full of enthusiasm and
determination and brings more pep
per into his work than does Wilson.
He spurs on the other players and
abuses them into some Ifelike ac-
tons.
Being chosen as the regular back
stop has been a tonic to Elliott at

chap made an excellent record in the
American assn last season and is the
best of Mitchell's young hurlers.
AL Demaree has been troubled with
lack of control. The number of hits
rung up against him can be traced
to this failing. Time after time Al
has been in such holes to batters that
he has been forced to lay the ball
straight across the plate, in which
case it-has been soundly spanked.

BURLEsQUE OATH IN CONGRESS

At the Gridiron club dinner in Washington recently the newspaper correspondents presented burlesque of the organizing of the house of rep resentatives. "Joe Cannon" admin istered the oath of office. It was as follows:
 Hands up! You ogubht to be able to do that after the railroad brother hoods taught you how. Do you sul- emnly swear to support the constitu- tion as amended from time to time, either by the supreme court or the White House; also the constitution of the American Federation of Labor; to act promptly on telephone calls from Humility, keep in close touch with Sam Gompers, soak the rich by in- creasing the income tax, jolly the poor by bunk embargo investigations of the high cost of living, scrap in public and fix it up in private, vote for prohibition and hope it won't pass, play politics with woman suffrage, re- duce mileage to five cents and beg the senate to keep it at twenty--in short, in the last analysis, do you swear to act as first class politician on their job?
 The club is composed of newspaper men who work with members of con gress and have to understand them and their works. The paragraph above represents the composite opinion of the correspondents. Of course the club smiled as it said it.-Chicago Tribune.

A NEW WAY OF BEATING
 THE PLUMBER OUT OF A JOB

One of the most annoying and troublesome things to be met each winter in farm and country life is the question of frozen water pipes. This is especially so in districts where there is no gas line, and where plumb ing is unprotected and open.
 Each winter for several years l was given all kinds of trouble and extra work in this way as soon as the ther- mometer reached the freezing point or lower. After much experimenting Finally hit upon the easiest, most in- expensive and surest way to keep the frost off the pipes. I have recom- mended it to many persons, who have tried it and found it saves many re- pair bills.
 Melt an equal quantity of petrola- tum-vaseline-and of paraffin wax together and, after wiping the pipes perfectly dry, apply with an old brush a thick coat of this mixture while it is hot. An old lamp or torch will easily keep it in liquid state.
 You will find that no matter how cold the weather may get the frost cannot penetrate this coat of grease. I have used this on water pipes that ran along the ground unprotected. and not once during the coldest weather did they freeze up or give me the least trouble.

THE COUNTY'S
CROP RECEIPTS
Estimates, Based on Obtainable
Data, Places Total at Over
$2.OOO.OOO.

Cotton Is the only crop of which
any thing like an accurate estimate
can be made of Its value. but by
various means of figuring we can
somewhat approximate the value
of the other sources Of income for
this county.
Estimating the cotton crop this
year to be 5000 bales. worth $3.50
per bale. including seed, the total
income from this source will be
$3.50 900.
The county has probably raised
900 600 bushels of corn which es-
innate was made by the use of
many figures and TEDIOUS mathe
matical calculation If we put the
value of this at 81. so per hushel,
we get a total of $3.50 600.
Probably as many as 5000 cat
tie were shipped from the county
during the year. and placing these
at $40 per head, we have a total
value of $24o. 900

o,ooo hogs have been shipped.

WATER SCARCE.
Forest.F Fires Burning in Number
Of Places.

The long drouth and severe DC
tober weather have made vegeta
ton so dry that fires in different
parts of the county have been
doing considerable damage. A
field of corn and peas belonging
to Mr.. Mitchell below Russum is
said to have been destroyed, and
several places in the county report
small forest fires, due to the care
lessness of hunters.
Many streams are dry and stock
is suffering. Even people, in
some localities, find it difficult to
get water without hauling it con
siderable distances. Many of the
shallow wells aud springs are dry,
and the large streams only contain
small holes of stagnant water.
