 When a man is constantly called up- on to judge the ability of his fellows in any line of endeavor, that man must be honest, he must have a judicial mind, he must conscientiously weigh the known facts and figures without permitting personal likes or dislikes to enter into his work.
 Such a man is George K. Mackie, of Lawrence. Kan
 MT. Mackie is a perpetual member of the handicapping committee at inn portant tournaments. He was one of the committee that allotted the handi- caps for the Grand American Handi- cap tournament in St. Louis in 1916, and last year in Chicago. and will be one of the five who will check off the marks this season.
 Three years straight as a member of the Grand American Handicap Trapshooting Committee is the best evidence we know of regarding the ability in this line of MT Mackie. His excellent judgment in the placing of shooters caused the Pinehurst (N. O Gun Club to invite MT. Mackie to be member of their handicapping com mittee the past few years. Through the middle west no handicap commit tee would be complete without George Mackie
 The Kansan is student of the game of trapshooting. He likes to play with figures, and consequently he knows just about what can be done by every trapshot of importance. He doesn't need an Interstate Association List of Official Averages before him to tell you who should stand on the 22yard mark and who should be placed at the 17-yard line. You see, it is not always good plan to follow the averages too care fully. Some men can shoot 90 per cent. consistently and never go more than one or two points above that score To place these men on the 22- yard mark would be outgunning them. Mr Mackie knows this to be fact, and he argues for the shooter who has ] virtually no chance to win at the Is or 17-yard mark and would be fortu- nate to break 75 per cent. if placed with Arie, Larson, Troeh. Newcomb and other stars.
 Mir. Mackie knows the trapshooting game, and he also can break his share of clay pigeons. He is always well up in the averages.

Doings in the Auto World
Army Auto Trucks Must Obey Road
 Rules-Harkness Handicap Race.

huIeS-HaFkneSS Hah0lCaD RaCes
 As result o: the complaint of aut- omobile clubs in Ohio and Pennsyl- vania, that the numerous trains of army trucks being delivered under their own power to the eastern sea- board, were not extending the cour- tesies of the road to other vehicles. the Quartermaster General has issued an order that drivers of army trucks must keep as close as safety will permit to the right hand edge of the road. The former practice of riding the crown of the road worked much hardship to other traffic, especially on pavements of limited width, where traffic was exceptionally heavy, and caused much needless congestion. The new order is welcomed by all motorists and trucking companies using this route.
 The Hardness Handicap race, with fifteen of the .country's most famous speedway drivers competing for su- premacy, at Sheephead Bay, N. Y, June first continued the 1918 automo- bile racing season, so auspiciously in augurated at Uniontown Pa, in May. After a postponernent of two days. caused by cold and threatening wealth CT, a concourse of 50,000 people, en- couraged by tte weather mans" fair and warmer" promise, thronged the grandstand and the oval infield and gave their unqualified approval to war time automobile racing.

Alexander will soon pitch few hand grenades in the worlds series.
 Any player with a nature as bellig- erent as young Dilhoefer's ought to be with the Braves.
 Pitchers are supposed to hit" re- marks a baseball writer. Certainly not look at Babe Ruth.
 We take it there won't be much of a squabble between Alexander and Uncle Sam about bonus.
 The Pirates are much stronger this year on paper. They carry four scribes with them on their trips around the circuit.
 Eddie Burns is catching in great form for Moran's club and his CO., worker, Jack Adams, also is a clever backstop. If Fred Fulton wants the heavy weight title, what prevents him from walking right tip and taking it? No- body cares a rap.
 Main. the Phillies' elongated hurler, was once with the Detroit club. He jumped the Tigers and signed with the Kansas City Feds.
 Mack refuses to become discour- aged over defeats. He is satisfied that his team will make a lot of trouble for other clubs this year.
 Allan Sothorn is getting away well and promises to have a good season. Jones surely picked up a prize in this youngster from the West.
 There is no doubt but what Cham pion Jess Willard never intended to fight again. And perhaps the fight world never intended he should.

LIBERTY BONDS BELOW PAR.

The sale of Liberty Bonds below
par Cor any other government secu-
rites, as to that), should be prohibit
ed by law. Bankers and brokers, by
manipulations, can depress the mar
ket, and buy bonds at, say, 8 per cent
discount, and ON three billion issue
of bonds clean up about nine million
dollars, or at that rate and proper
ton. and in so doing discourage and
embarass future loans. Owners of
bonds can, Of course, use them in
business transactions, exchanges, etc,
but the money broker should be pro
hibited from handling these bonds for
any amount less than their face val
ne. To depress your government sccu-
rites is one way to discredit the gov
eminent and help the Kaiser. The
government should protect itself, as
it has the right TO do, and the brok-
crs and exchanges can govern them
selves accordingly.

THE RED CROSS BOOST.

Tazcwcll County has done herself
proud this week in going more than
100 per cent over the top, in the big
drive for one hundred million dollars
for the work Of the Red Cross. At
this writing more than ten thousand
dollars has been raised, and 4 num-
Der of other contributions expected.
The "drive" began last Sunday cv-
cning with great Rally of all the
poplc, held in the New Theatre, when
DIR. John Wesley Hill made II stirring
address on the work Of the Red Cross,
and took Il public collection. lie had
spoken ut Pocahontas and Graham
during the day, at both of which plac-
es liberal respones were made.
Contributions started here at 500
and about fourteen such amounts
were quickly given. Then some rs
or 30 contributions of $50 followed
and on down. The entire contribu-
ton subscribed was something over
100000
The wonderful work of the won
dcrful organization appeals TO the
hearts of the people first, and their
purses next, naturally. There is an
element of seltishncss in buying in
terest bearing bonds, of course, but
this Red Cross business is one of pure
unseliish giving, without even the ell
ement Of sacrifice on the part of the
giver. This second line behind the
front-why, of course, the 100 mil.
lion will be given, and another hun
dred million on top of that, and still
another on top of that, if needed.

serve congratulations upon the heart
