Johnson Plan Wins Favor
From an apparently reliable source
il WAS learned that National League
sentiment had been stifened by the
unequivocal attitude OF Ban Johnson.
johnson, the story goes, has let It be
known that he and his colleagues are
prepared to 90 to the length Of an open
rupture Of the peace agreement with
the National League rather than TO
suffer the Tencr circuit TO treat IN any
way with the union.
IL has also been learned that the
American League, which has been able
10 sign most Of its players. will not
countenance the National League agl-
tation to cut the roster limit 70 sixteen
or eighteen men unless the club owners
Of the rival major circuit will renounce
all waiver rights.
"The National League would well
come an opportunity to profit by our
scouting system" said the manager Of
an American League team yesterday.
"The National League club owners have
been very, very DenuTious ever since
the time of the Federal League. The
American League has gone out for tai
cnt. regardless of expense.
"You do not think Johnson col
leagues are foolish enough 10 cut loose
from dozens Of young players who
might be gobbled up with advantage by
the National? Not yet. Perhaps If
the National League will agree 20 keep
hands of and let US place these young
sters TO the best advantage for season
ing with fast minor leagues We will
agree TO their most conservative roster
limit"

Fatigue is the decreased ability to do work as the result of doing
work. Work Uses up the energy stored in the cells, ear out the cells
themselves, and produces poisons in the blood. Fatigue may be either
physical or mental. Its characteristics are acoeraion of the pulse and
respiration, increase IN bodily temperature, huctuation of the attention.
increase in error, decrease in control Of movements, reduction in The eapac-
iy for physical work, and the lowering of the mental functions.
During rest the body RECEIVERS from fatigue, the cells are rebuilt, and
the blood gets rid OF It's poRons The man who does work. mental or
physical, must proportion his work aud rest TO accomplish the maximum
amount of work with the minimum amount of fatigue. If he works too
long at a time. he 40 completely exhausts the cells that they recover slowly
II he rests too frequently or too long Mt a time, he fails 10 accomplish his
maximum amount Of work. The periods for work and rest vary with the
different kinds Of work.
At the Bethlehem steel works it was found that undirected laborers
loaded an average of 1919 tons of pig iron per day. Even when bonuses
we're offered, they were not able TO go beyond this average, for If they did
too much the first part of the day, they were not able TO do so much the
latter part. When, under the direction of a efficiency expert, they fol-
lowed each tweye-minute period Of work with n period of rest, they were
able to load ~ tons with less fatigue, These and other experiments
have led to the conclusion that every worker should have n brief period
of rest every two hours at least, and much oftener if the work is difficult

Matches Illuminated Town.

In n Midland town n number OF
persons were fined for striking
matches In the streets on the
night of an air raid. The offense
may appear to be n trivial one on the
face of it, but 1t Is really not so, says
n writer in Flight. In n recent series
of visibility tests with certain kinds of
light 1t was noted that on a dark night
the light Of an ordinary match was
easily visible ut n distance Of a mile.
Hostile aircraft do not. as a rule, fly
ut as low an altitude as a mile, and on
the basis of the test just noted the
striking of a single match would be
without import. But, according to
the evidence of a police superin-
tendent, although the street lamps
were all extinguished during the raid,
there was almost as much light as
though they had been lit, owing TO peo-
pie striking matches TO light pipes and
cigarettes.

Well Prepared Soil First
Step Toward a Good Lawn,
Declares Expert Gardener

Thorough preparation Of the soil Is
the first requisite in building Il lawn
points out NJ. f. Ahearn, professor OF
landscape gardening in the Kansas
State Agricultural college. Plow deep
and disk and harrow the soil until 1t
becomes finely pulverlzed.
"Seed is used oftener than turf In
making n new lawn because 1t is cheap
err" said Professor Ahearn.
"Sod may be laid at any time. 1T
brings quicker results than seed, but
requires constant watering the first
season. Use sod for planting narrow
strips, borders and terraces. In all
other cases seed will give satisfaction.
Thick sowing will be most satisfactory
as it prevents the growth of weeds and
other grasses.
watch for the first appearance of
weeds I'm the lawn and destroy them
Immediately. The only way to get
dandelion out is to remove the roots"
Kentucky blue grass is the best grass
TO plant, in the opinion of Professor
Ahearn. 1t thrives in almost any soil
ana Ices we'll in this part Of the state.
Keep the front of the lawn clear of
shrubs. Plant only In the corners. at
the sides and back. A flower bed has
no place in a small lawn. The lawn
should be planned before the house is
decided upon. Many lawns are spoiled
by carelessness or ignorance in placing
the house.

Winter Eggs at
l8 Cents a Dozen

Did YOU pay war prices for eggs
last winter? Most folks did, but while
neighbors were paying from 30 10 10
cents II dozen for Z III. l.. Kemp
ster of the Missouri College of Agri-
culture was obtaining his for Is cents.
lie had a small poultry plant In his
back yard. His chicken house, six
feet square, was built for less than 81.
The laying flock. consisting of ten
White Leghorn pulletS, was placed in
the new house November 1. No male
BIRD was included In the flock. No
space was available for q yard. but
the confinement, which is not advis-
able for breeding stock, did not seem
to reduce egg production.
The ten hens produced 400 eggs from
November / TO March 81. Mr.. Kemp
ster considers this production good
since only two of the hens were old
enough TO lay before January /. Only
44'eggS were laid the first two months
while q were laid during January,
February and March. Even then the
400 eggs were produced at a food cost
of 81 or less than Is cents q dozen.
At market prices which averaged
30 cents a dozen, the eggs were
worth $12.13. In other words. the
hens returned a profit of 30
cents a bird above cost of feed.
During March the feed cost of q dozen
eggs was less than 8 cents a dozen.
1t is thus seer that the longer the
hens are kept the lower the feed cost
of a dozen eggs will be. BY July 1
1T will be not more than Is cents a
dozen for the whole period. The test
has demonstrated that laying hens can
be kept in any back yard no matter
how small without becoming an OBJ
lection TO the neighbOrs, and that eggs
can be economically produced.
The birds may be used for meat as
soon as they become broody and cease
laying. The market value usually in
creases until June so that the initial
investment with interest can be OBJ
tanned at anytime by selling the birds.

ANY CORN LIFTS OUT,

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or

which will positively rid ones feet OF
