SOX IN CRUCIAL TEST
They Now Play Cleveland While Bos-
ton TOYS With Athletics.

New York, Aug. 14.-Grave danger
of losing the peak in the American
league confronted the White Sox to-
day. Barely more than half a game
ahead of the Red Sox, they were book
ed for an Entertainment at Cleveland.
while the Bostoners were to go over
the motions at Philadelphia. Snap
pier and snapper the race in tan
Johnson's circle is growing. Right
down into the stretches of August
the battle seems certain to go, and
there is every indication that neither
White nor Red Sox will be able to put
away for any noticeable gap.
In spite of the fact that the Chi
cagoans have several times put many,
many points between themselves and
the pack they have always faltered
just in time to prevent their escape.
Now with Buck Weaver out of the
game, they are confronted with the
task of overcoming the decided OPP
position Cleveland is able to supply.
Only one thing appears likely to
give the White SoX any comfort, and
that is the fact that they will be SCH ed
uled soon with the Athletics while the
Red Sox will be engaging one of their
most uncomfortable enemies in Cleve-
land.

To TOUR KANSAS
Mrs. Geo. Bass Working for
W0man's Liberty Loan.
She Is Booked by Redpath
Chautauqua Circuit.

Washington, Aug. 14.-The farm
women of the United States are going
to win this war for America, accord
ing to Mrs. George Bass Of the Wo-
mans Liberty Loan committee, who is
touring the rural districts of the coun-
try in behalf of the liberty loan. She
will soon tour Kansas speaking at
Belleville, Washington, Blue Rapids,
Sabetha, Leavenworth and other
places.
Mrs. Bass, who is speaking twice a
day at chautauqua assemblies and
meeting daily hundreds of women
from the farms. declares that the
women of the agricultural commune
ties will be the most important factor
in women's war work.
1.-The experience of other countries
at war has been that the women of
the smaller towns and farming dis
tricts have been slower to become
aroused than have their city sisters"
said Mrs. Bass, but that, once
aroused, they have accomplished some
of the most important work of women
in the conduct of war. That our own
country is no exception to the rule is
evidenced by the interest that the
women from the farms of the nation
are taking in the nations problems
| Now that they realize that the war
must be won as soon as possible, these
women are finding what they can DO
TO promote its speedy success.
Appeal to Farm Women.
THE practical value of the Liberty
Loan is making a special appeal to
| farm women. They see that the pur-
] chase of Liberty bond is a good in
vestment well as a patriotic deed.
! They have come to know that Lib
| erty bonds are United States govern
ment bonds, which pay a higher rate
of interest than that given by most
banks for savings accounts. They
realize that the income from the
bonds is not taxable, and that the Sc
curity of the bond is impregnable, be-
ing guaranteed by the resources of
| the government of the United States.
Because the women of the coun-
| try districts have habit of analyZing
problems they have been Quick to see
| that they have a choice between bond
purchase and taxation. They know
| the money paid in special war taxes
is insurance rather than investment,
but that government bonds will pay
| them interest. They have learned
| that these bonds are negotiable, being
convertible into cash if necessary.
| They have realized that they possess
in a Liberty bond not only a certifi-
| cate of patriotism, but also valuable
financial asset.
Will Play Important Part.
at required the time Of the cam
| paign for the first issue OF the Lib
| erty loan to awaken the farm women
of the United States to understanding
| of the value of Liberty bonds; but
| they are now aware of The service
! they may render by this investment.
| and they stand ready to b. one of the
most prominent groups in he success
| of the second issue of the lean as soon
as it shall be called"

GOOD COUNTRY BUTTER
X. S. A. C. Expert Tells How Easily
1t Can Be Made

Manhattan. Ka., Aug. 14.-Country
butter can and ought to be better than
creamery butter, in the opinion of A
S. Neale, dairy specialist, division of
extension, Kansas State Agricultural
college. The farmer is able to control
the production of the cream while the
creamery cannot do this.
THE most common faults in max
ing country butter" said Mr.. Neale,
are dirty milking and handling OF
milk, improper sterilization of Separa
tors and other milk utensils. mixing
of fresh warm cream with cold, partly
ripened cream, storing cream in a
warm place, allowing the cream to
stand too long before ripening, I'M
proper ripening, churning at too high
a temperature, and inadequate wash
ing and working of the butter after
churning.
while saving cream in order to get
enough for a churning, store it at a
temperature at least as low as that
of cold we'll water. New cream when
added should always be cooled and
thoroly mixed to insure evenness of
ripening.'

dence Of the eccentric whims of John
McGraw.
When Demaree went to Philadel-
phia IN a trade with the New York
clug Gotham fans thought they had

the player has outlived his usefulness

Giants under McGraw's management
has a player been sold or traded and
later brought back to the fold.
Herzog an Exception.
Charley Herzog is serving his third
term as a Giant. He was brought
back from Boston and later turned
loose to manage the Cincinnati club.
After his fling as a manager in Cincy
Buck figured in the trade for
Mathewson. Red Murray came back
having been sent to the Cubs, but at
that was not considered as likely
candidate for regular job.
Demaree may well consider himself
lucky player, altho he is to be given
some credit, too. When AIcCrew
turned Steamer AL over to the pills
it was said that he had lost confidence
in Demaree's ability to hold his nerve
under fire. The cartoonist pitcher was
Knocked out of the box in a number
of games which McGraw thought he
had no reason for losing, and he put
Al down as a player without much
backbone. But when Demaree became
known as a Giant killer, by virtue of
numerous victories over the New
York club after Muggsy turned him
loose, Jawn promptly changed Lis
mind and jumped at the chance to
trade Kilduff for him.
Afraid of Wcsterners.
The Demaree-KGilduff deal was
made at a time when McGraw was
beginning to look at the squirt of the
Reds and Cardinals with an ap3re-
hensive eye. He decided that he could
sacrifice the infielder for a pitcher OF
Demaree's caliber. and at the time The
Giant stuff was going none too good.
AS a member of the Cubs, Steamer
Al had little to look forward to
MitchelPs team was out of the pen
nant race by the middle of July, and,
with the White SoX struggling for the
American League pennant, the
chances of a city series and the re-
sultant financial fruit was considered
slim at the time the deal was made.
DemaEee is lucky, and all that, but it
must be remembered that he pitched
his way back to a Giant berth.
