Ty Cobb has put quietus on the persistent rumors which have been go- ing the rounds to the effect that he was adjusting his personal affairs with the idea of enlisting before the sea- son was over.
 The rumors originated In Pittsburgh, where an army officer stated that Cobb had decided to enlist and that it was only a question as to when he could arrange his business matters with that end in view.
 Cobb says that he intends to stick to the Tigers this season but that he was thinking of enlisting at the close of the baseball year. but had not reach edea decision at this point.
 He fntimated that he had been of. fered commission In the motor-me- chanics corps but could not accept be- cause of his business affairs. It Is be- lieved that the story resulted from this fact.

REPATRIATION
 OF MEN DOING
 BATTLE ABROAD

WASHINGTON, June 17.-The broad and scientific manner in which Australia is meeting the problem of repatriating the men who are fighting in Europe for the liberties of the commonwealth was described in off. cial dispatches, as foreshadowing what the United States must do when the tide of wounded and incapacitated men begins to flow westward to this coun- try.
 Tw principles were enunciated in the formulation of the Australian svs- tenn of repatriation: First that the true purpose of repatriation is to se- cure the establishment of returned soldiers in the industrial life of the community to the fullest extent that circumstances will permit, and. sec ond, that, as a soldier abandoned his civil calling to serve the state, it is the duty of the state to sustain him until an opportunity for such re-estab- lishment is assured.
 Sustenance, therefore, will be paid to men who, after discharge from the army, are seeking employment or are being trained in technical schools. The amounts will vary according to the the number of dependents, the maximum payable being three rounds. six shillings, or approximately sle4Qs
 Centralized authority is obtained " the creation of ministry of repatria-. tion, while decentralized administra- tion is assured by the organization of state boards of seven members each, two of which will be discharged sol diers and one a representative of or ganized labor.
 A feature of the vocational training which is planned will be national work shops, wherein men whose injuries preclude the possibility of their ever becoming sufficiently competent to earn their living as normal workmen will be educated to new tasks and per. haps employed permanently. The o. tally and permanently incapacitated will pc provided for in hotels, or al- ternately by special grants supple mentary to their pensions, if thay prefer to remain with their friends.
 rental allowance will be paid to widows with children and incapaci- tated men when such an allowance will permit the maintenance of a home.
 Widows desiring of learning some useful trade will be afforded the nec- essary training and sustenance.
 Advances of money will be made in certain cases for the establishment of small businesses, for tools and for transit to employment
 Australia also is following the prac. tice of the United States after ,he Civil war of granting land to returned soldiers. Major Blezzard, who took part in the historic landing at Gal;ip. oli, and was severely wounded, has been allowed 700 acres near Echuca. n

LITTLE DIFFERENCE IN PLAY
Pitchers in Minors Try to Stop Hitting, While in Majors Eaters Must
 Hit Ball.

Ping Bodie, the desperate fence de- stroyer, has it all figured out. Says he:
 'The principal difference between the game of baseball in the big leagues and down in the sticks is as follows:
 'In the minors the pitchers are al- ways trying to keep you from hitting the pill. In the big leagues the hurlers are always making you hit 1t. That's all there is to it.

LYNDEN TO PLAY FAST LINDEN GROWERS TO
SKAGIT co. VICTORS GET CTS. FOR BERRIES
Head OF Local Cannery Assures All
Farmers OF High Price For Pro-
duct This Season

Six cents a pound is the price that
Lynden berry growers will receive
for their product this season, accord
ing to a preliminary announcement
made this week by H. A. Baker, the
proprietor of the Lynden Cannery
six cents a pound, and maybe more
is the way Mr.. Baker puts it.
The 1918 price will be nearly doub-
lie that of two years ago, when the
Lynden growers received three and a
quarter cents for their crop. 1t will
be the highest price yet paid for the
fruit, in the history of the local ber-
~ industry.
The news came as a decided en-
couragement to the growers of the
district, many of whom were expect
ing a much lower figure for this seas
on, and as a result were counting on
grubbing out their vines and giving
up the industry altogether. At six
cents, the growers can realize fair
profit on their investment, provided
the crop is up to the average.
The Lynden Cannery will be oper-
ated as usual this year.
