There are many thousands Of black
walnut rails to be found in the fences
on farms in Missouri and other states
in the middle west and southwest re-
marked Joseph Holt. of st. Louis. at
the willard. THE government. am
informed. needs large quantity OF
black walnut for the manufacture of
aeroplane propellers and gunstocks.
and there Is, of course, big demand
for black walnut in the industries. The
price OF the wood has advanced steadi-
ly for several months. and spectators
have been busy in various sections
buying up stocks Of the wood and sell, j.
ing at an advance.
ION a number OF occasions I have
visited farms in the southwest and dis
covered that a great many of the rails
used in the Fences were of black wal

why these rails could not he replaced

would gladly turn them over To the
government. Sattered thruout Mis-
souri, there are scores OF log houses
the interiors of which are built of black
walnut. while the steps and other parts
are made of the same kind of wood
There has been constantly increasing
scarcity of black walnut trees every

to be as that between Germans and

II all comes 10 the same thing how

an American sergeant listened with at

When they talk of a farmer paying
$50 a month for farm labor and half
of this labor good for nothing farmers
will seed their land down and raise

because they can't pay such wages
and run all the risk themselves. OF
course this is an exceptional year.
But what could farmer have done

couldn't have done il at all on a

man I'm the American League Today that
doesn't owe something TO Ty Cobb.

a new era I'm the game. Cobb's base
ball was new baseball. lie was con
tinually pulling something TO make his
opponents look like dubs and greater
part OF the time he was getting away
with it.
"The result was That players who had
10 play against Cobb were continually
trying harder, playing better baseball,
