STARS IN BASEBALL.
They Are Really Essential to the suo-
cess Of q Club.

They Are Really Essential to the suo-
cess Of a Club.
Il Is absolutely necessary for each
and every major league club to have
at least one unusually brilliant per-
former on its roster to be a good gate
attraction, and more often than not
these stars are pitchers.
Remember the Chicago White Sox
OF 1906? Ed Walsh was the star who
did most to place that team in baseball
history, though he received not a lit
tie assistance from Doc White. Who
made the Giants of a few years ago
the most talked OF team in baseball?
Why, Christy Mathewson, to be sure.
He was a star Of stars. and in fair or
foul weather It was he whom the root
ers paid to see. Plank, COombs and
Bender did more to make the Athletics
famous than did all Of the other great
players on the team put together,
though the 100000 inheld. consisting
OF McInnis, Collins, Barry and Baker,
was a first class attraction in every
sense Of the word But few other clubs
in the games history ever had any
thing approaching this evenly balanced
outfit in its best days.
Bill James in his time came pretty
close to making the Braves, and
Bill Donovan. Ed Reulbach, Mordecai
Brown. Babe Adams, Joe Wood and
Grover Alexander all have played lead
ing roles as gate attractions.
What would the Senators have been
for years without Walter Johnsonl Is
It the Tigers or Ty Cobb whom the
fans want to see at play? Hal Chase
featured the Yankees for years, for
many seasons Speaker has been the
leading figure with the teams with
which he played. and Joe Jackson,
Marquard and Lajoie all had large In
diYidual followings.
Today a new crop OF stars has just
about arrived" and are pulling the
crowds.-Ed A. Goewey in Leslie's.

WIN 1881 Was Chosen.

In 1881 socalled prophecy of Moth
er Shipton's was in every ones mouth:
The world then TO an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.
A travelling tailor denied inspiration
to this prognostic, nor, as now appears,
was II remarkable for accuracy. But
he went further. He demonstrated in
the dust Of the road why that exact
date was chosen. Not only was 1t ca
balistic. "A multiple Of nine, etc, but
It was the only date available to Moth
er Shipton which in Arabic numerals
was the same backward, forward and
upside down. Eleven hundred and
eleven was past, and not till 1881 would
the coincidence recur The next Moth
er Shipton will select S0OS, which is
not tomorrow or next day. - London

A Musical Portrait Of Napoleon as 7ee'
thoVen ldealizsd Him.

- MUSICAL PORTRAIT OF NaPoieou as 1ee'
thoVen ldealizsd Him.
The most notable example Of a mas
terwork with a political origin Is
Beethoven's "Eroica" symphony. Gen
eral Bernadotte during his residence
IN Vienna In 1898 as ambassador from
the French nation suggested to Bee
thoven the composition Of a symphony
In honor Of Napoleon. At that time
Napoleon was looked upon as the
champion Of freedom, the savior Of
his country. the embodiment Of re-
publican ideals, with which Beethoven
was in thorough sympathy, and he
willingly accepted the proposal.
Before the symphony was published
Napoleon became emperor. and when
the news reached Vienna Beethoven
was violently angered. After all.
then, he is nothing but an ordinary
mortal! He will trample all the rights
of men under foot to indulge his ambi-
ton and become greater tyrant than
any One!
With these words he seized the mu-
sic, tore the title page in half and
threw it on the ground He never
again referred to the connection be-
tween his work and Napoleon until
news Of the latter's death reached him.
Then he said. Il have already com
posed the proper music for that catas-
trophe," meaning, Of course, the fu-
neral march. But the whole symphony.
with its essentially revolutionary char
acter, is a musical portrait of Napo-
leon as Beethoven idealized him.

saltinq Cows.

An important item that is often over
looked In the management Of dairy
cows is providing them with plenty OF
salt All animals that consume large
quantities Of vegetable food require
salt. Unless cows receive plenty of salt
they will cease to thrive and will there
fore decrease in milk flow. Some dairy
men mix the salt with the feed, but the
better plan is to keep it in a conven-
lent place where the cows may have
ready access to It when they so desire.

HEAR ABOUT OFFICERS TRAINING
CORPS FROM CAPTAIN
CUMMINGS

At the meeting of the student body
of the University of Idaho Wednesday,
in addition to the adoption of a res
olution expressing sympathy over the
death of Vernon Henry the constitu-
tion was amended providing for the
granting of athletic ensigna for men
who have competed in two or more
intercollegiate tennis matches, an
amendment providing that participa-
ton in inter-conference contests shall
be held the same as conference con-
tests in determining the qualifications
for wearing an athletic insignia, and
another that the election of athletic
captains shall be held the first Monday
following the completion of any ath
letic season
Captain Cummings briefly outlined
the officers reserve corps act and laid
particular emphasis upon the phase of
that which concerned the students of
the university He said he has been
authorized to make 100 recommenda-
tions from Idaho for that branch of
service and that men who receive ap-
pointments will undoubtedly be called
in the near future to some central
training camp on the Pacific coast.

For America ALWAYS

John Breckendorf of Thorn Creek,
12 miles south of Moscow, was in Mos
COW today and left no doubt as to
where he stands in the present war.
'In Germany" he said; "when | went
down the street | had my hat off most
of the time. In this country | am
just as big as any other man. This
country has been good to me, and |
would be a fool if I were not ready
to fight for it now. This is the coun-
try for me. | want no kaiser and big
army. This is my country
Mr.. Breckendorf left the old coun-
try when he was eight years old. He
has prospered since coming here by
thrift and industry.
