Luck is a synonym of preparation.
Add " DOL to Cotton.

AS far as basic resources concerned, Geor-
gs could respond bountifully to the appeal of the
National Department of Agriculture for an in
creased production of sheep. This State has tens
of thousands OF acres of unused land which for
long decades will not be needed for other purposes
and which ideally suited for sheep ranges.
Present prices Of wool and those which likely
to prevail for many years to come should make
this industry peculiarly inviting
The United States ordinarily consumes from
six hundred thousand to sevep hundred thousand
pounds of wool each year. It's clip for 1917 is ex-
pected to be only about two hundred and thirty
thousand pounds. That huge shortage would be
made up in normal times by importations, but the
war has dsarranged this along with most other
fields of our import business. Great Britain will
furnish. us large quantities of wool-as much in
deed as war emergencies will allow-but not
enough to meet the demand.
For the past ten years longer there has been
a steady decline in the production of sheep, not
only in the United States but in the world as a
whole; and that partly explains the steady ad-
vance in the price of wooden fabrics. The poEt has
been reached where the nations as we'll as the in
divdual's interests require reversal of this trend
1t is hardly less important to raise sheep for
wool than It is to raise more cattle and hogs for
food.
Georgia and it's neighboring States are we'll
suited to this work. They produce wool and
cotton on the self-same farm. What wondrous
opportunity to serve and profit at once

IN PRAISE OF SORROW.
BY DIR FRANK CRANE.

To one who has brooded long over the mystery
of this world and his own soul, no law. is more
salient and strange than the efficiency of sorrow.
1t is joy we all follow and praise and worship.
but what a wastrel and ne'er-do-well it is We
have laughed and danced and sung, but what has
come of it? What, indeed but certain hooking
echoes, revealing the hollow emptiness OF our
prison of circumstance?
While, the contrary, whatever substantial
steps mankind has made have been by the crutches
of pain.
the world; it's the soldier dying in battle that
cures diseased governments; tbs the workman
Keeling in the heat of the steel mill or riveting
Orders at dizzy heights that builds our houses;
It's the agonizing mother that brings forth the
child, and the starving poet that furnishes our
fancy.
What considerable value did ever get from
picnics? Was any scientific discovery, to bless
mankind ever thought out on a pleasure yacht?
All the benefit to the human race that ever came
from the piazzas of summer hotels, from cabaret6
and midnight frolics from all games, good or bad,
from all hours of safety hfarity you could put
in your eye. .
Only from the wounds and bruises of the
world comes its healing. Only from its suher1nSS
comes its greatness. Only from its dark chambers
of anguish emerge its abiding comforts and sraceS
There something of deep insight into the
paradox of life that characterized the Purltans
grimness. For cruelty is not far behind pleasure
lust is the child of Hghtness, and beneath the
smooth surface of the sensualist turks the horror
of heartlessness
Bv all means let us be happy when may.
but let us not faIter at the door of sacrifice anu
pain. for only within the crypt of sorrow lie tina
rich and mystic treasures of the soul.
To suffer is to know life. Out of disappo1nt-
ment, disllusion, failure, humiliation, betrayal,
bereavement, loneliness. out of such bitter mo-
ments come those supernal, Transforming, emo
bling qualities that sit like starry crowns upon
us, and reveal us as of heaven
That smile touches our hearts and wins Us that
is the ripple upon pensive deeps. The idiot mirth
of the shallow saddens
Joy is good; let seek it. But sorrow, which
no man seeks but which destiny thrusts on him,
is better; let not shun II.
Some has said Joy impregnateS; II is

from Buffalo to Syracuse one day last
summer and were passing over the

group Of women, fashionably dressed,
who were keenly interested in the
many impressive pictures of nature.
While speeding along the rails
about a mile above quaint York
state village one of the women called
attention to building resting on the
hillside. The structure resembled a
sanitarium as the roof and grounds
were dotted with cots.

one woman asked. Finally another
leaned over and repeated the question
to Honus.

Artists Clean Up
At 0naWa Tourney

The names OF Omaha bowlers stand
high in the prize list of the North
west Bowling association tournament
now in progress at Onawa, la.
Two local hves, the Luxus and the
Brandeis Stores rolled their matches
yesterday afternoon. Their matches
were low, but this was also true Of
their competitors scores, due to the
heavyweight pins used. The Luxus
teams total OF 2,578 placed them in
second place behind the Clever Clothes
Shop team of Sioux City, which rolled
2,730. The Brandeis Stores rolled
into fourth place with 2,505 total.
In the doubles the Omaha rollers
hold high positions with the Sciple
brothers leading all entrants with a
l,206 total. Stunz and Jarosh rolled
second Nigh with 1,206.
Basgs OF Sioux City is high in the
singles with $40. Jarosh OF Omaha
rolled into second place with a COL
sctfe. .
Returning bowlers report that all
scores are low due to the pins weigh
ing around three pounds eight ounces
each, which Is four or FIVE. ounces
heavier than the regulation pin.
The last series will be rolled to-
night. One more Omaha squad, the
Ffemonts, Is scheduled to roll. Ex-
ceptjng this team all the strong
afgfegations have rolled which means
that the Gate City pinmen will carry
away more than their share Of the
prize money.

HERE'S LESSON TO
DIAMOND ATHLETES
Lower Salaries in Minors Teach
Players Not to Rely On
Game Alone.
NO SHIRKERS IN FUTURE

One~result Of the grand retrench-
ment policy in base ball will be that
young fellows who think they are ball
players will be a wiser lot. They will
not bank so heavily on base ball ca
reers. They will pay more attention
to business. that is to their own busi-
ness. As far as they themselves are
concerned they will very likely con-
slider base ball a side issue. They
will have some regular means of live
lihood other than base ball, trade
or profession. They will not depend
on the game to carry them from one
end of the year to the other and from
one end of their base ball careers
through to their graveyard finish. A
change has undergone and is undergo
ing that is opening the eyes of ball
players, vets and comers. Efficiency!
Not so long ago young fellows with
base ball ability cared only about
playing base ball and letting the flu
ture take care of itself. With the
playing season over it was a recess
for them until games were resumed.
They looked upon work" in the reg
ularly accepted repulsive meaning of
the term, as something to shun, and
they looked upon the ball field as a
grand relief from the aforesaid work.
Things out on the diamond seemed
not only rosy, but permanent to them.
Recent disturbances in base ball have
disillusioned them. But the change
came few years ago. though it was
not then felt. Foolish are the ball
players in the majors and minors who
are not equipping themselves so they
can earn dollar by other means than
soaking the left field fence with the
bases full. The fact is there are
mighty few such foolish ones nova
days. The ball player is realizing
more and more that his base ball ca
reer does not mean lifetime. He is
thinking Of the rainy day. Efficiency
has got him guessing.
Game Not Big Money Feature.
Minor league base ball will not be
so attractive from now on to rising
young blacksmiths, druggists, machin-
lists, BARRIERS, bakers, bank clerks, shoe
clerks, plumbers, cigarmakers, butch
crs and bookkeepers. But all the
same the minor league base ball mar
ket will not run shy, nor will the
blacksmiths and others mentioned
completely forget the national pas
time. College boys will go easy about
accepting big league offers before they
have their diplomas. They will know
better how to regulate base ball with
their grand scheme Of life. Those
fellows may be more careful about
picking up all the knowledge that
they can about their special lines be-
fore jumping overheard into the base
ball sea. They will put on life pre-
servers before taking the big swim
and they won't take the plunge with
the idea that they can go over their
heads or stay too long from shore.
New conditions will help them and
will help base ball, too.

PLAYER REASONING
SHOWS ODD TWIST
Detroit Southpaw Pitcher De-
mands "As Much as Sis
Ter is Paid"
HIS REASON Is A BEAUT

Ways of the base bali player are
peculiar and often beyond the limit
of understanding. Detroit has vet
eran left-handed pitcher, good
worker, able performer and nice, 'lik-
able fellow. The club gave him
contract at what is considered good
salary. He did not sign. Frank !.
Navin thought that probably it was
because of some fraternity order and
did not press the matter. The pitcher,
however, hemmed and hawed, and
passed bits of comment on the sub
ject which finally left the impression
with Mr.. Navin that he had motives
other than any orders from Dave
Fultz for refraining from signing, 50
Mr.. Navin took up the matter with
him to learn the trouble. The pitcher
finally unbosomed himself and told
the entire difficulty. This is it:
II don't see why | shouldn't get
more money than this George Sisler
of St. Louis. He's been in the league
less than two years and ] got the
dope straight that he's getting more
salary than am"
"But Sisler-" interrupted Mr..
Navin.
"Yes, Sisler, a left-handed pitcher
Just like l am" concluded the ball
player. And what was there left for
Mr.. Navin to sayi
How This One Opened His Eyes.
And here is another case. Last
season Detroit tried out kid out
fielder. He went great at the start OF
the season, but hurt his leg and after
recovering was practically useless to
the club. His contract called for a
good deal more money than he could
gather in a minor league, but the con-
tract was returned by the player with
the request that the figure be raised
to $4,000 even. Since the club had
derived no benefits from the out
fielder Mr.. Navin was somewhat
surprised, He wrote reply which
read something like this;
Dear Sir: | am very glad that YOU
did not sign your contract. | decided,
after mailing the contract to you,
that you would be OF no future use to
our club and am about to ask waivers
on you. | am glad to find out what
your terms are. but you had better
present them to the minor league
club that may care for your services" "
A few days later Mr.. Navin heard
tfrom the player. His answer read
something like this: please don't
send me to minor league club. l will
be glad to sign contract for what you
| FIRST offered me"
