Trend of the Times.

Major league fnagnates and mana
gers are showing a strong preference
this year for ball players with a
past"
In ordinary times the big league
pilots pay little attention to pill toss
'ers who have seesawed back and forth
from the minors to the big show. They
usually break their necks bidding for
the "phenoms" who spring up in the
tall and uncut sticks, and they have
paid some fabulous prices for this class
OF players.
But 1917 is no ordinary year. The
majors have been slow to sign young
sters and seemingly eager to jump at
the chance of getting players VINO
have had big league experience, but
who, because of age or some minor
defects, have failed to stick on big
time.
The recent signing of Bobby Wal
lace by the Cardinals is a most vivid
example of this tendency. Bobby

Grenades of Many Types.

The grenade has become one of the
leading weapons of the European war.
Each belligerent uses several, types,
Austria as many as six. Grenades are
thrown by hand by means of a spe-

About all that jealousy asks
to make trouble is a chance.
Fair as women are, even they
are no excuse for the so-called
ladies' man.
No matter how much a man
may neglect his wife it always
makes him mad to discover that
some other man is slightly inter
ested in her.
This world may owe you a liv-
ing, but if you don't care enough
for it to hustle round and col
lect it, the world isn't going to
do any worrying.
Luck doesn't play nearly so
big a part in the other fellows

The Greatest of These.

Although Mr.. Thomas Hardy, the
famous English novelist, has lived for
so long in Dorsetshire, among the
very scenes that he has depicted so
graphically in his books, he is of such
retiring and modest disposition that
his literary fame is unknown to a
number of the quiet country folk who
live in his vicinity.
An enthusiastic admirer once Wis
tied Dorsetshire and approached an
old lady whom he found sitting out
side her cottage door.
'NIr. Hardy lives near here, doesn't
he?" he inquired.
(Which Mr.. Hardy?" asked the old
woman.
"Why, Mr. Thomas Hardy, who
writes books" replied the astonished
pilgrim.
"Oh, / know naught about him."
said the woman, shut there be Hardy
near by that rears grand pigs!"

I'd like to be as FORTUNATE
as lots of MEN I know who
rouse an agitation in all
hearts where'er they go. Now
take YOUR old friends Tyrus
Cobb; he leads the COUNTRY,
fans, in clever execution of
the tricks Hugh Jennings plans.
And then, in little, old New

Graw, and many other nOtables
who follow "fame" quite raw
BECAUSE it's served to them
so fast there is no time to
cook the adulation that they
get each blessed way they look.
You've got to hand it to these
chaps; they've earned all they
have won, and it's worth while .
to rouse the shout: Gee!
Attaboy! Well done!" But, humbiy,
may I ask of YOU to ponder
Garfeld's thought: Behold our
land, in twenty years, and see
the men who fought in this, we
pray, the final war for ever
lasting peace, and hear all
nations cry Of thanks which
nevermore shall cease! And then
imagine, if you can, that
reverence multiplied ten thou
sand times ten thousand, for
the Fighting Men-who DIED!

winter from the San Francisco club by

Jim Thorpe, recalled by the Giants,

examples.

line. The receipts of interest in the

a concerted effort to clean up large
of delinquent loans. For in
stance January l of this year there was
S63 900 outlawed in delinquent loans.
OF this amount 100000 has been clean
ed up and saved to the state. The re-

ture will be called upon to replace
this amount in the irreducible school

HIGH PRICE FOR WOOL
GIVES SHEEP A BIG BOOM
Farmers All Over the Northwest Are
Going in For Raising Small
Bands of Sheep

PORTLAND, ORE.-Reports from
throughout the Pacific Northwest re-
ceived here today indicate that the
present record-breaking price for wool
| has not only greatly stimulated the
sheen inductry, but also brought about
| the introduction of up-to-the-minute
methods.
Thousands of farmers in Washing
ton, Idaho and Oregon are buying
small bands of sheep, and will raise
sheep as a profitable sideline. Some
counties report that within the next
year the number of sheep within their
boundaries will have been doubled.
In the Inland Empire, Eastern Ore
gon, Eastern Washington and parts
of Idaho, men who have been raising
sheep for years have abandoned the
old range method and are now growing
hay for winter feeding. The steadily
dwindling range, due to the increasing
number of homesteaders, is a factor
in this action of the big sheep men.
Better stock is being secured in
many parts of the northwest, SO that
better and heavier fleeces will re-
suit.
