SERIES MIGHT
Do WAR WORK
Suggestion Offered to Do
nate Fund from Classic
to Athletic Relief.

New York, Aug. 13.-The reluct-
ance of John X. Tener, president OF
the National League. to get his or
ganization mixed up in q worlds
series this year. may be traced ITO
pair Of reasons-frst, patriotic be-
lief in q policy of adhering strictly
to the governments wish to make
every man within the draft age work
or fight; secondly. dislike for Ban
johnson and his methods, which
would hardly permit Tener to sit at
the council table as the National
Commission prepared the rules for
the Forthcoming contests.
1t is scarcely good policy to aban-
don the impressive playing of the
worlds series, for there is present
this year an opportunity for base
ball to do itself immeasurable good
and at the same time give soldiers
and sailors a large bit OF benefit
from the fall classic. A worlds
series conducted along purely phil
anthropic lines, with the process
donated almost wholly to a fund to
buy athletic equipment for soldiers
and sailors in camp. would be i'm
mensely popular and would serve to
turn many foes of the commercial
lied game to the other side. Tennis
is being given a high rating among
war time sports because of its un-
selfish devotion to war activities.
Baseball could do the same thing.
with the same good result. A
period of grace lasting to the first
Of September has been granted. The
baseball season should end late in
August, with the worlds series TO
follow Immediately after. Tremen-
dous sums could be realized from
the games il the right methods were
used. 1t might be, even. that the
well known old theory that stars of
the game should participate In a

JACK DEMPSEY
EARNS PRAISE
California Demon Receiving
Glad Hand by Fight Fans
Throughout Country.

New York, Aug. 13.-Doubtless there
will be miles and miles OF printed
praise heaped on the broad and
strong young shoulders Of Jack Demp-
sey, the California demon, who
downed Fred Fulton recently in record
time at Harrison, N. J.; but there
can be no doubt that every bit Of II
will have been earned by the brilliant
conqueror Of the almost equally bril-
liant Fulton.
Dempsey's performance compares
favorably with the mighty smack
with which Tommy Burns caressed
the Australian brow of Australia Bull
Squiers when that worthy undertook
to show Americans how 1t Is done IN
Australia. It Is reminiscent of the
time when Gus Rubin thought he was
good enough to beat Tom Sharkey.
and alomst turned a double somer-
sault from the fist OF the famous sailor
in the first round. The comparison is
rather far fetched, but the ending Of
the fight was fully as impressive as
the ending of that memorable meeting
between Terry McGovern and Pedlar
Palmer-the time when the flying fists
of the demon feather-weight champion
rained on Palmer in the first round Of
their Tuckahoe fight so furiously that
Palmer went down and out imme-
diately.
Dempsey. say some, has proved that
he can fight but hasn't proved that
he can stand punishment. But gra-
cious goodness, a man that can fight
with such success as this bird has
been doing doesn't have to stand pun
ishment. He stops all punishment
with the same blow that stops his op-
ponent.
The attack on Fulton was scientif-
icaIly worked out and admirably ac-
complished. Dempsey knew he hadn't
a chance to outlook his massive and
swiftly moving opponent. He knew
that Fulton also knew 1t. Therefore
he planned his battle for a quick finale
to step in and finish 1t while Fulton
was fussing around. And he did 1t.

DAlRYMEN, ATTENTION.

Because of the high prices of feeds
and scarcity of labor, there is an in
creasing demand and necessity for COW.
testing associations. 1t is an absolute
necessity that every dairyman bring
his herd to its greatest efficiency in
order to obtain fair profit under pre-
sent conditions.
Every farmer must know the milk
production and test of every individual
COW. He must understand the effects
of the different feeds on milk production
and know what feeds are best to give
his cows. Cow testing associations
throughout Wisconsin have been solv-
ing the dairyman's problems, have
been increasing the efficiency Of the
herds, thereby enabling The farmers to
secure fairer profits for their pro-
ducts.
The Manitowoc County Cow. testing
Association is completing a very sue
cessful year of work. The demand of
dairymen TO Join this year S association
has made it necessary for us to divide
the old association into three new ones.
For the purpose of organizing a new
association in the vicinity of Whitelaw,
Cato and Grimms, there will be a
meeting Friday night at Cato atSP. M.
Mr.. II. G. Searless, Wisconsin fieldman,
United States Department OF Agri-
culture will be there.
1t is hoped that all dairymen will
attend. II you are interested in your
cows make it point TO be there and
show the state and country that Mani
towoc County is making name for it..
self in the dairy industry, that farmers
are striving to better themselves and
aid the United States to win this war
by increased production of dairy pro-
ducts.

Snake Stops Water Supply.

Glenville, a hamlet three miles back
of Tarrytown was without water Tues
day. Its only supply is obtained from
the Gypsy spring on Gen. Howard Car
rolls estate. The pipe that led from
the spring appeared to be frozen, so
William Van Wrinkle pulled the pipe
out of the spring and took it home to
thaw 1t out. There was CONSERVATION
in the house when a garter snake start
ed to crawl opt OF the pipe.
The snake had crawled into the pipe
during the cold snap of Monday night
and had frozen In there, shutting off
the water supply. When the pipe was
thawed the snake was released and
tried TO escape from its storage prison.
Van Wrinkle caught II and is proudly
exhibiting 1t in jar. While this story
has a Winsted flavor 1t is vouched for
by Van Wrinkles neighbor.
