.Fitchburg Genius Denies
That Dode Paskert Is to
Be Traded to Cubs
WANTS UTILITY PLAYER
BY PAT MORAN


Doping ont the Phillies' chances In ad-
vance is entirely out of my line. but I would
rather figure upon the future than discuss
tho past, not because we did not win the
pennant. but because never did believe in
rcplaytng games After a ball game Is
lost forget it and look forward to the
next one. figure the same all the year
round.
Just at present I am trying to strengthen
my bail team in a few places. | want TO
say right now that there is no deal under
way for DOde Paskert, and ! don't thank
another manager for saying such thng'
paskert played wonderful ball. particularly
In the last half of the campaign, and am
banking upon him to go even better next
season Dode seems to grow better with
age and his legs are just as good as ever
So long as Paskert's legs hold M he Will
be a wonderful ball player. and they have
shown no signs of giving way.
I might be figuring upon trade or two.
I am like any one else; ! will trade any
thing If think am getting the better Of IT,,
but the other National League managers do
not seem anxious To trade on anything like
an even basis. | admitted that was con
siderlng trade with Chicago involving
Demaree because Al would like to play
in his homo town, but since that time l
have done nothing in the way Of trades.
The coming season should produce the
best race the National League has had In
years, and that is saying something. |
think that every team will be stronger and
that | also must strengthen to win.
If one or two of the boys had played as
we'll at the start of the season as they did
at the finish we would have won last sea-
son, and hope to get them all in splendid
shape down South and start the season with
a rush Last season Bancroft fell off in his
hitting. and Cor two months was weakling,
but / think Dave will hit in his 1915 form

teams nearly of equal strength, but the

DWindIinq Wool Supply.

War and embargoes are making tex
tile men uneasy as to the wool sup
ply. World demand is increasing
while the supply is growing less. Our
own needs are twice what we raise
and the chasm between domestic sup
ply and demand is widening. Our pro-
duction is less today than 25 years
ago, while the population has H.
creased go per cent. The difference
between what we produce and what
we use must be made up by imports,
with the world bidding against us.
The British embargo on wool shows
how precarious is our position. Yet,
in peace and in war, wool is an abso-
lutte necessity. Several years ago when
alarm was taken at the declining beef
supply many felt that the situation
could not be remedied. But today cat
tie are increasing in the United States.
More sheep and wool can be raised al
so If proper attention be given the
industry.

RECIPES FOR FINE CANDY
How Fondant and Chocolate Creams
Are Put Up by Those Who Are
Considered Experts.

Two cupfuls granulated sugar, one
half cupful cold water, boiled slowly.
Add quarter teaspoonful of cream tar

Hot Biscuit,

Three cupfuls of flour, two table
spoonfuls of baking powder, three
quarters of teaspoonful of salt, three
tablespoonfuls of butter, three-quarters
to one cupful of milk. Mix and sift the
flour, baking powder and salt together
twice; then cut in the butter with a
fork until it is in fine bits. Add the
milk gradually, just enough to make a
soft dough. Do not handle any more
than is necessary. Turn out on a
floured board and roll to about three
quarters of an inch thickness. Cut,
then place on baking sheet and bake
In hot oven from - to 15 minutes.

TWO WAYS TO COOK CABBAGE
Bot, Will Be Appreciated by Those
Who Are Fond of This
Savory Vegetable.

Susskraut-Take good-sized head
Of cabbage, cut it in about six or eight
pieces and wash. Have a kettle of
boiling water ready, put the cabbage
in, add small pinch of soda, let boil
until tender, then take the kettle,
stand it in the sink and let cold water
run over it until you can put your
hands into it, then squeeze all the wa
ter out of the cabbage, then chop it
fine.
Have frying pan on the stove, put
a small tablespoonful Of lard in it or
drippings (burter, of course, makes it
still better). Take medium-sized
onion, cut 1t up fine and fry till brown.
Add a tablespoonful of flour, stir lit
tie, then add the cabbage and thin it
with hot water or soup stock "a good
cupful Is best), salt and pepper to
taste. Let it cook up a few minutes,
then serve. 1t is fine with any kind
Of meat gravy over it.
Bairish kraut.-Take good-sized
head of cabbage, shave 1t fine and wash
it. Have a large iron kettle or pan
on the stove; put good tablespoonful
Of lard in it, then take a medium-sized
onion, brown it slightly, add the cab
bage and just little water "a scant
half cup), cover tightly and let it
steam until tender. Stir occasionally
so it will not burn. Add salt to taste,
and few minutes before serving, add
a good tablespoonful of vinegar. (Of
rourse if you don't like the sour taste
leave the vinegar out)

COMBINING CITY AND COUNTY
BY Cutting Expenses There Would Be
More Money to Spend on Public
improvements.

Mayor Campbell of Houston has
started a discussion Of proposal to
combine city and county governments,
and eliminate one set of officers. The
writer advocated that several years
ago, but plans to reduce the expense
of government were not then as much
in favor as plans to increase it.
There is no sound reason why
commissioners court and city COM
mission should both be required for
legislative service, nor is there any
apparent need for the double service
of a city and county police force.
Many other Implications could be sug-
gested equally wasteful.
The city and county Of st. Louis
are identical. New York and London
are under the same single system of
government. SO it cannot be urged
that the plan will not fit city.
The truth is that the American sys-
TEN seems to be based on a demand
that provision shall be made for every
man to hold an office who wants one.
It has multiplied offices to q degree
unknown in any other country, and
has, as a result, driven the cost of gov
ernment to a figure which exceeds
that of any other country in the world,
if the military branch is excluded
from the comparison.-Waco (Tex.)

WAGES Go Up In Japan.

Thanks to the general business ac-
tivity in consequence Of the great Eu-
ropean war the working classes in
Japan are now unusually prosperous
and contented, says Fast and West.
To quote an examI y, hatoba coolies
in Yokohama are wv getting 50 yen
per month, while waste paper buyers
are making as much as 1.50 yen day.
Sake shops near the foreign and ma
tive bunds are now buster than ever,
being we'll patronized by the coolie and
lower classes. A fact worth record
ing is that the latter do not now in
dulge'in gambling on as large scale
as formerly. Salaried men alone are
the victims Of the steady rise in the
price of daily commodities.

together thoroughly, then add the boil
ing water slowly and cook for ten min

- HELPS
WHEN LAYING OUT A CITY
Proper Planning, by Adding to Its Ap-
pearance, Bound to Bring Deslrs
able Financial Results.

Are we laying out, for instance,
new suburb? Is It not better and more
businesslike, and more likely to pro-
duce adequate financial results If we
determine beforehand which of the
streets are likely to become great tran
6c thoroughfares and to give them am-
pie width of broad macadam of paved
surface, providing only in the resi-
Dental streets sufficient paved surface
to allow two tradesmen's carts to pass,
and laying down the remainder in trees
and grass, in way which will save
the rate-payers large sums and at the
same time make the street or boule-
ward more desirable place in which to
live?
Such instances could be multiplied
a thousandfold. The results, so far Of
practical city planning will convince
anyone that the scope, influence and
finance of city planning are so much
subject for the earnest consideration
Of every man who Is q good citizen and
loves his city and his fellow citizens,
that none can afford to neglect it. Nay,
more than this, any city which does
neglect this great subject, cannot hope
to continue in these go-ahead days, to
compete with other cities and towns
which are wide awake to take full
advantage Of the opportunities for ad-
1anceinent and betterment which 1t
provides.-EXchange.
