 The big corporations rather object to J. B.'s companionship with em- ployees, the army canteen has oust- ed the old boy, France, Germany, England and Russia have handed him his passports, and Organized Baseball doesn't want it's players to associate with him.

PRIZE WINNING COW
 PRODUCES MORE BUTTER
 THAN 6 AVERAGE COWS

WOODLAND, Cal, Nov. 12.-"Ag- gie Acme of Riverside" bred ahd owned here, is the state prize COW. In fact she is well up among the prize winners in the United States, for she gave $62S worth of milk and butter fat in ten months. It takes six average California cows to equal her production, University of California authorities state Her daily average production of three pounds of butterfat for ten months is equivalent to more than three and half pounds of ordinary butter.
 In competition with ten other cows the Woodland bovine produc- ton for ten months was 22,08S pounds of milk and 92S,S13 pounds of butterfat The average of but terfat for the California COW is 150 pounds year.

NEW YORK MANAGER
 STARTED BASEBALL


 Miller Higgins, the new leader of the Yankees, intended to become a lawyer when he was a lad. He liked to play baseball, but possessed such a keen mentality his parents insist ed he follow the law.
 So the youth abandoned bats and balls and took up the textbook. He studied long and laboringly in the schools of his home town, near Gin cinnati, and afterward took a course in the University of Cincinnati, from which he was graduated with high honors.
 Later he was admitted to the bar of Ohio, but it never has been re- corded that Miller Huggins, lawyer hung out his shingle. The lure of the diamond proved too strong for the embryo Blackstone to resist.
 Huggins had made a reputation in Cincinnati and environs as a ball player, and he had no difficulty finding employment on the diamond. He liked the game because it af iorded an opportunity to think. And Miller Huggins will go down in the annals of the pastime as one of the greatest thinkers in the game.

Announcement

General Public We wish to announce that on the fifteenth of this month we be- gin to conduct our bushes on a cash basis. Such a policy to be sue cessful must be absolute. With out any exceptions WE WILL GRANT CREDIT TO NO ONE.
 We are prompted in this action for two reasons:
 First: It is hard to see value in any repair bill; especially after completed and the restored article in owners possession The perspec- tive is lost for lack of need. We will exchange value at time of de- livery.
 Second The stress of this par ticular period has forced manufac- turers and wholesalers to put their business on a cash basis Our f. nancial status will not permit us to pay cash for our supplies and sell out customers on a thirty-day basis of settlement.
 We pay our rent in advance, hence our storage rents will be paid in advance.
 and materials will be paid before car, tire, generator or battery, is delivered to customer.
 Gas will be sold by ticket, if de- sired, 50 gallons for $12.OO, 25 gallons for $500.
 Our only pledge or guarantee is that we will put the best of ma 1 - 16 h.p. Stationery Hoist 925 skilled labor on our work, and will keep for sale the highest grade of supplies that can be bought.
