BASEBALL GOSSIP

The heat must be affecting star pitchers this season, to judge from the number of crack twirlers who have drawn suspensions for the re-
 mainder of the season.
 Christy Matthewson's Red Birds can
 more than hold their own against the Giants, but when they stack up
 against the Phillies it's a different
 story again.
 | Even if the British scribes do call
 baseball "glorified rounders." the old pastime has gained thousands of fans
 in England in the past few months.
 To date the Chicago-Boston series Islands eleven games won by the White Sox to eight for the Red SoX, with one game tied.
 Will the White Sox and the Red Sox still be battling for the pennant when they meet for the last time this season on September 21 at Boston? Catcher Blackburn. who is back stopping for Columbus, is one of the shining lights of the American asso- citation season. He formerly worked
 for Providence, Boston and Chicago
 and returns to the Cubs at the close
 of the A. A. season.
 The Detroit Tigers have about ev- erything except dependable pitching. Jennings outfit is second to none when it comes to hitting run getting and base stealing.
 The Boston Braves have been hard hit in the catching department this season. Gowdy enlisted in the army, srraorecsar was called homo for
 draft examination, and Chief Meyers ihad caught but a few games for the tribe when he was injured.

Cynthia Starr, childhood friend

two are caught in rainstorm while

VIVA ABOUT IT?
Are You Doing Your Part to Help the
Paper Boost the Town?

We quote the following pertinent
remarks from the Newton Miss
Record, and refer the question there
in raised to the thoughtful considera-
tion Of every patriotic citizen:
"Nearly everybody likes to see the
local newspaper boost the town and
community, and on the other hand
the live newspaper takes a plesure IN
doing so-not, however, because 1t
devolves upon it any more than any
other loyal institution to exercise
this prerogrative-but because 1t IS
aware that it is in a position to do
so more successfully than any other
agency and as a rule the paper is
progressive and public-spirited.
"But, do the people who like to see
the newspaper boost, give their as,
sistance by boosting the newspaper!
Do they all speak a good word for the
PAPER and its hard worked editor, and
thus aid and cooperate with him IN
nushing the town to the front and
keeping it there? Or do they knock
the paper without any real cause, OF
criticise the publisher because OF
some lnSIgni1iCdHt tilAASs ooSAA w.
omission of some little personal OF
news item, concerning them, aoou
which he never knew!
"It is easy for the paper to Doos'
and preach for the town when It na' ne
the cooperation and backing Of tht
citizens of the community, but 1T IS
hard task to do it alone. When ths
merchants and business men adVeT
tise in the paper and attract peopl'
and new business to town, thus as
sisting not only in the expansion ane
progress of the town but IN proeur
ing increased business for themselVe
and the publisher as we'll, then II
that the paper is given real oppor
trnitv to boost and exploit the re
sources and advantages of the tow
and county, without exaggerat1ng L
the least. Then it is that the edlto
1 takes real pride in telling the wori
of Of what a good town the paper
nrinted in and what loyal, punlle
spirited people reside there; VIVA
| benefits will accrue to others VINO cas-

A MoMENToUs PROBLEM.
What Can Be Done For States Multi
tude of Truant Children?

H. w. Moore, superintendent of
the Louisiana Training Institute at
Monroe, issues the following:
'The state superintendent of edu-
cation finds that for the year ending
June 80, 1915, there were 310,562
white children of school age in Lou
isiana. Nearly one hundred thou
sand of these were not in school at
all, A total of 1922 white children
between the ages Of 10 and 18 years
could not read and write. Of those in
school only one child in ten had
passed the seventh grade.
sAs to negro children, there were
227,557, and the majority of them
had not been in school during the
year. Forty-four thousand between
10 and IS years old were not able to
read and write.
"Combined, there were more than
half a million children Of school age,
(6 to IS years., and only about half
of them were in school at all. They
grow out Of school age at the rate
of fifty thousand annually and less
than one in every twenty has attained
fair common school education.
''In many cases, the parents of
these children have enjoyed even less
educational advantages; and in the
absence Of intelligent parental care,
the tendency toward truancy and
waywardness in the children is in
evitably increased. Questionable
amusements and often untoward en-
yironment awaken the dormant wild
nature and behold, the bad boys!
"These misunderstanding truants
have become the terror Of every COM
munity, whether mere rural village
or part of city; and they are not
likely to be driven to enthusiastic
study and profitable employment nor
will their parents be induced to be
come loyal patrons Of the school
merely by the appointment of truant
officer in the community.
sThe ideal school must affiliate with
every interest for the common good
of the community and enlist all the
children in some form Of useful actlv-
ity throughout the year. Ninety per
cent of juvenile delinquency can be
corrected in the community where it
originates by the systematic co-opera-
ton Of the school with the probation,
truant and police officers and availa-
bic volunteer help.
''But already there is in the ag-
greeate a multitude of incorrigibles
and ignorant offenders over the state
who. must have the most expert in
stitutional care and training TO save
them from penal servitude.
esWhat can be done for them?"

I. w. w. ACTIVE IN LOUISIANA.
Tncendiary Utterances May Lead to
Trouble in Some Sections.

According to reports current in the
daily press, state and federal author
tiles in Louisiana are taking steps to
forestall threatened trouble by In
dustrial Workers Of the World in the
sawmills and oil fields of western
Louisiana.
The governors Office in Baton
Rouge is said to be in receipt of what
it considers reliable information that
there is an effort on the part of I. w.
w. to organize the workers in that
part of the state. Having been in
formed of these I. w. w. activities,
the people in some of the towns in
the affected sections have applied to
the governor, through the adjutant
general, for authority to organize
military companies SO as to be pre-
pared to take care of any contingency
which may arise.
Forrest C. Pendleton, chief of the
New Orleans bureau of the United
States Department Of Justice, is au-
thority for the statement that his men
have been investigating I. w. w. re-
ports, and that they have found evil
dence of incendiary utterances. Mr..
Pendleton declines at the present
time to divulge details of the results
of the Investigations, but he indicated
that the trouble makers are probably
from Butte, Mont, or from Bisbee,
Ariz., whence more than thousand
were deported few days ago.
Several sawmill and oil field opera
tors and superintendents complained
to the governor last week that I. w.
w. agitators are actively engaged in
formenting strikes among their men.
All the national guardsmen were fed
eralized Sunday and their services can
no longer be at the disposal Of the
governor Home guards and specially
organized military companies will
have to be used in case of dis
turbances. Special Agent Pendleton
said there is no assurance that the
situation in the lumber camps would
not develop into serious proportions.

Bread from Cotton Seed Flour.

A Lafayette bakery is trying the
experiment of making bread from cot
ton seed -four, and according to the
Lafayette Advertiser the innovation
gives promise Of proving very sue,
cessful. A ten-cent loaf of the bread
weighs exactly the same as ten-cent
loaf made from wheat flour, but IS
only half the size. It resembles gln-
ger bread in appearance, the flour oe-
commended for those who are suf-
fering with diabetes, as it contains i.
no sweets. Being easily digested, il
is IS also good for any one who has .
weak stomach. 1t is best to eat
five or six days after being baked
and is good when fifteen days old. A
representative Of the Advertiser triee
piece of the bread and found tht
taste quite pleasing.

"The Price She Paid"

What girl has not dreamed OF mar
rage with some prince of finance,
with her worldly worries drowned IN
i sea of luxury? In "The Price She
Paid" such a girl realizes her dream,
only to awaken to the bitter knowl-
hat The Ip7iee paid sfor+iier is as
nothing compared with the price she
has to pay. Then into her loveless
life comes a strange man whose first
words to her cause self-revelation
such as she never faced before. Un-
der the influence of this new interest
the girl determines to rebuild her life,
and the accomplishment of this pur-
pose is woven with the cross threads
Of love that carry a theme enmeshed
in interest and suspense up to the
final scene. 1t need only be added
that ''The Price She Paid" is SelZ-
nick picture and that Clara Kimball
Young plays the leading role, to con-
yey the assurance that it will be an
attraction far above the ordinary IN
respect of acting, photography and
general excellence. The production
will be shown at the Grand Tuesday.

BIG WEEK FOR CLUB MEMBERS.
Fine Program Arranged For Annual
Short Course at L. S. u.

The fourth annual short course for
Louisiana club members will be held
at the Louisiana State University
Aug. 13 to IS, inclusive. 1t will be
attended by boys and girls making
the best records in their club work in
1916, whose expenses will be paid by
banks, school boards, railroads, and
business men. The course will also be
open to any other boys and girls of
the state who wish to take advantage
of the instruction to be offered,
whether they are members of agricul-
tural clubs or not.
Arrangements have been made TO
provide board and lodging in the
University dormitories for all boys
and girls who attend the course. The
charge for this accommodation will
be 81 per day.
The program will include interest
ing and instructive lectures on topics
related to club work. Corn club boys
will be taught the principles underly-
ing successful corn raising, seed corn
selection, etc. Pig club members will
be taught some of the fundamental
principles of hog raising, breeding,
pasturing, marketing, rotations of
food crops, etc. Poultry club mem
bers will be given instruction in
poultry raising, poultry diseases, san
itation, housing, egg production, feed
ing, etc. Canning club girls will be
given special instruction in canning
and preserving and in simple house
hold economics.
The young people who have attend
ed the previous short courses took
home with them new ideas and stand
ards which were of benefit not only
to themselves and their families but
to their entire communities. In fact,
one of the main objects of the short
course is to train bright boys and
girls from all parts Of the state in the
fundamentals of agriculture and
home economics, and it is expected
that they, in turn, will act as leaders
in the communities from which they
come.
Because of the worlds food short
age the assembling of some of our
best boys and girls at the State Uni
versity at this time, where they will
have an opportunity to receive at first
hand the best instruction to be had in
agriculture and home economics, is an
excellent preparedness measure.
In addition to the lectures and
demonstrations there will be many
features of entertainment provided
for the young people. These will in
clude visits to points of interest on the
University campus and in the city OF
Baton Rouge. There will also be
athletic games for both boys and girls
Educational motion pictures will be
shown every evening.

"Tha Girl. Glory"

Enid Bennett, the magnetic Tri-
angle star, displays her charm and
talent to unusual advantage in "The
Girl, Glory" which will be shown at
the Gem today.
Glory Wharton lives with her old
grandfather Jed Wharton, civil war
veteran, who worships only two things
in his old age-his granddaughter and
the memory Of General Grant. The
old fellow has one failing that mars
Glory's happiness, and that is his
fine taste for old bourbon. She often
puzzles over the attraction that liquor
possesses for her granddad, and one
day, tasting the stuff, decides it IS not
good for him.
In. this dilemma Bruce Crawford,
the young minister Of the village,
whom she has sought, gives her his
advice and aid. Her idea is that If
her grandfather cannot get whisky IN
the village he will do without it.
Bruce explains that 50 long as Nor
gan. the one saloon keeper OF the
place, lives up to the conditions OF his
license it is impossible to stop the sale
of the stuff. ~,
The manner in which Glory and the
minister accomplish fheir determlna-
ton to put the saloon out OF business
provides the most dramatic incidents
of the play.
