EDDIE PLANK UNABLE TO
REALIZE HIS AMBITION
Greatest Of southpaws Not Likely to
See Twenty Years Of Service In
the Big Leagues.

Eddie Plank's pet ambition-to fig.
ure in baseball's "big ring" as a pitch.
er for twenty years-will probably
never be realized.
Plank started out this season with
the Browns, hopeful that his good old
salary souper would hold out. At the
San Antonio training camp Of Fielder
Jones' men Plank worked with the
care that is exercised by all seasoned
pitchers in getting the old wing into
shape. He nursed his arm along for
nearly month before he made an at
tempt to "steam" the ball across the
pan, and when the season opened he
was ready, or thought that he was.
But Plank was due to be sadly dis
appointed. In his first two or three
starts he found that the cunning of the
arm was gone and he was finally
forced to leave the team and go home
for rest, suffering with q nervous
breakdown.
That Plank will be able to stage
comeback is doubtful, for he has been
one of the Understanding pitchers in
the major leagues for 16 years, and he

SUIT COATS TO BE LONGER
Extend to Point Slightly Above Knee
or Even Below lt-Skirts Are Of
Very Simple Type.

Besides the strictly tailored suits,
there is fair proportion of the more
dressy ones, though some of the latter
are intended mainly Ar window dis
plays and for openings, says the Dry
Goods Economist.
The coats Of the tailored suits are
mostly long, extending to a point
slightly above the knee or somewhat
below it. Some have the portion above
the waist made on fitted lines with the
lower portion showing slight full
ness, but still preserving the straight
line silhouette.
The suit skirts are Of very simple
type, as the coats practically cover
them.

IS Always SMART
Strictly Tailored Suit to Be Staple
Fall Model.
Cost Will BE About Thlrty.sIx Inches
In Length and the Skirt About
Two Yards Wide.

Here is a modish little early fan
"tailleur," made of mems wear blue
serge. with collar Of black velvet and
braid and button trimming. This suit
might also be attractively developed in
Oxford gray suiting, with black braid
and button trimming.
There is much speculation as to the
suit that will be preferred this fall and
winter. 1t seems safe to predict that
strictly tailored models featuring
coat approximately SO inches in length
and with skirts about two yards wide
will be regarded as staples. This kind
of suit is always smart, easily kept in
shape and gives service that can never
be hoped for from one of the dressy
models.
In addition to this argument, the
government has indicated to manufac.
turers that they will do well to use
fabrics sparingly, and the ultra-long
suit coats recommended when fall
fashion notes were first given to the
public will hardly have general
vogue.
The suit here shown is a youthful
model, buttoning smartly in double
breasted fashion, and with both coat
and skirt equipped with pockets.
The question of how strongly fall
suits will continue to show the military
influence is still unsettled. Some of
the very early models show the mill
tary influence in the use Of khaki-col-
ored wOrsted, and in many military
pockets, epaulet shoulder arrange
ments, etc., but it is not likely that

POULTRY POINTERS
ossssssssesssssssssesseee,


Little ducks often suffer from sun
stroke unless given a reasonable
amount of shade.
If eggs are to be preserved for next
seasons use they should be put down"
Immediately, if it has not been attend
ed to.
In warm weather put the coops for
growing chicks in or near natural
shade or provide artificial shade.
Crows are likely to steal the eggs
from the late turkey nests If the nests
are made ut some distance from the
buildings.
Fowls or chicks that are confined in
yards during hot weather need vari-
ETY. of food and plenty Of fresh, tender
greenstuff.
Although geese. both young and old,
will obtain enough food in the fields to
keep alive and well, the young will
grow faster and be more profitable If
given one good feed of grain each day.
There Is no better time to build hem
houses than the present, If there is
any spare time, because houses built in
warm weather have chance to dry
out thoroughly before cold weather
comes.
Place the roosting coops for growing
chicks in the shade or near a shady
place so tnat the youngsters can find a
comfortable place to rest and digest
their food during hot weather.
Do not keep lot of spare males,
which will not be needed next season,
during the summer and fall to eat food,
worry the hens and make the eggs
more likely to spoil.
It is almost impossible to succeed
with turkeys unless one is able to fur
nish wide range, for turkeys do not
prosper in confinement.

By E. Van Bea,huy.ea

A New York business man who was
forced to New Jersey suburb on ac-
count of broken health, is making a
good living by repacking fruit and
vegetables which he buys from farmers
and truckers, repacking them, and sell
ing direct to consumer. He drives on
an average 20 miles, and the outdoor
life has completely restored his health.
Three years ago this man COM
menced business with a One-horse wag.
on. He repacked his fruit and vege-
tables with the aid of Il small son,
drove his own wagon and conducted
the entire business practically alone.
He now owns two double team wag-
Ons. and two single horse wagons, COW
ering four routes, each from IL to Is
miles long. This fall he will supplant
the two-horse wagons with light auto
truck, as he has demonstrated that he
can cover a much larger territory with
one of these vehicles and thereby save
the wages of one man.
This man is simply doing what the
farmers and fruit growers from whom
he buys his supplies ought to do them
selves If they would make all the profit
there is to be made in the business.
Growing the crop is mot oil of the
game. Marketing is good half of it,
and perhaps even more. This New
York self-made huckster buys fruit
and vegetables just as they come from
the farmers wagons. They are deliv-
cred at his place, often covered with
dirt, the fruit bruised and scratched,
vegetables untrimmed and all gener-
ally unsorted. M Z: M
The fruit, particularly, the larger va.
rieties, such as apples. peaches and
pears, are carefully sorted and graded
by the huckster, the apples washed,
and the fruit is packed in small boxes
OF baskets, clean, uniform and highly
attractive in appearance. Small fruits,
such as cherries and berries are often
dumped out of their original packages
as they come from the farmers. sorted
and repacked in clean boxes. Cherries
are packed in boxes that hold from
one-half to one peck and over the top

COMPANY B
MUST HAVE
RECRUITS
Officers of Fargo Units Of
State National Guard
Campaign for New
Men.

Company B must have recruits if it
Is going to get into the federal SER
vice.
This statement was made today By
officers of the local company and it is
up to the young men of this city
whether or not Fargo is going to be
represented in the First North Dakota
infantry when it is called back into
the United States service-a call that
is expected momentarily.
There are lot Of the smaller towns
in the state who are falling over them
selves to get a company in the regi-
ment and it is now up to Fargo wheth-
er she is to retain her company or
not" said Lieutenant r. Colley today.
For instance there is Beach. Beach is
ready to form a company or to even
form an air squadron in order to get
into the service. There are many other
towns working hard to get a company.
"Other companies in the regiment
are recruiting up rapidly, having all
the way from fifteen to twenty men
already. Company B has had one re-
cruit since returning from the border
and more must be enlisted at once for
the call to the federal service is like
ly to come at any time and unless the
company is up to war strength it will
be left behind.
AT the present time the company
has so men. 1t must have about 100
and now is the time to get busy"
Officers believe that Fargo does not
want to lose its company. The COM
pany has been among the leading ones
In the regiment al d it cannot afford to
lose out at this time when it is needed
more than at any other time in its
history.
A recruiting office has been opened
up in the armory and recruits should
make application theN, for examina-
ton and enlistment. This recruiting
office will be open from to o'clock
and from to o'clock every after
noon and evening. The recruiting will
be in charge of Lieut.. r.. Colley and
Corporal Ernest Fjelstad will be on
duty there all the time during the
hours named. "
There is no doubt that the First
North Dakota is to be called into the
service very soon and it must be ready
Any company not up to enlistment
will be left behind and a new COM
pany put in it's place.
For this reason the Company B men
have adopted the slogan OF North
Dakota Men for the North Dakota
Regiment
When men go out with the North
Dakota regiment they will go with an
organization that is inferior to none
and one with a history of which the
members have a right to be proud
Now is the time to enlist in this or
ganization which won q reputation
for efficiency on the Mexican border.
Impress upon the people OF Fargo
that if they want to !9tain Company
B recruits must be secured" said an
officer of the company today.
