Why WORRY ABOUT n WORLDS SERIES

temperamental sidelights the game
was in the world series class.
The Saints were skunked l to
Q IN six Innings, before one Of
the strangest gatherings of sheep
and goats ever seen inside one
fence.
Ten thousand were present and
not more than 1000 were dead

up something like $1,000 at the
box office for the benefit of our

years of age can hope around In

In the first, he chased a home
run to the fence without weaken

base.
Billy is fine example of right
living and steady preaching. and
can properly be held up as q pat
tern for our boys and girls who
would so live that they can steal
third base at 81.
Each club accused the other of
using ringers" but both denied
the charge and looked innocent
when they said 1t. Charley
Chech, known thruout filmdom as
patron of the shows, pitched for
the Sinners. Ford Tally was on
the slab for the Saints. Ford, it
ID understood, conducts a peanut
stand near the tabernacle, and
therefor was eligible to- play with
the soul savers.

inning when Pete Japan, that

came near scoring In the third,
but failed to connect. In that in

as q slum worker, slammed out a
triple. He later died In sight of

Stranger Lewis was among
the movie forces marshalled by
Fairbanks. Billy Sunday pro-
tested, and accused Lewis of be-
ing q wrestler. The Stranger
denied this, explaining that he
played the part of Peter Pan in
the Hammer and Tongs Produc-
Ing company.

CONCRETE PAVEMENT is BEST
Affords as Good Foothold for Horses
as Any Other Hard Surface and
Wears Quite Well.

The concrete pavement in use on the
main driveway at the Kansas State
Agricultural college has proved that
this type of pavement is successful,
according to l.. Il. Conrad, professor
of civil engineering. This pavement
has been in use for more than three
years and shows practically no wear.
The traffic over this road is heavy.
1t consists OF all the coal and machin-
cry delivered to the college, large
part of the material that is used in the
construction of new buildings on the
campus, college mail and express, and
the many pleasure vehicles that are
continually using this road.
Two methods were used to surface
the road. On the level portion of the
roadway the finish was made compar-
atively smooth, while on the grades Il
heavy stable brush was drawn over
the green cement, leaving rough sur
face. 1t is probable that after a few
years of service the roadway which
has the smooth surface will present a
more uniform appearance but at pres
ent there is no appreciable difference.
THE teamsters hauling coal to the
college power plant were strongly of
the opinion that the road would be
slippery" remarked Mr.Conrad, "but
they say, after using it for three years,
that 1t affords as good II foothold for
the horses as any hard surface.
"The expansion and contraction of
the concrete is taken up by steel-bound
joints that are placed every 30 feet,
elastic material. Outside of a few
dollars for replacing some of this ma
terial, there has been no expense what
ever for the repair or upkeep OF the
roadway"

SPRING WORK ON GOOD ROADS

In the spring of the year, when the

each farmer would care for the road

Personally, 1 don't believe there is

point in its favor is that it can be
made at home and costs practically
nothing.
