AS a coacher, too, he was credited
with originating some of the fighting
phrases Still used on the side lines.
"Be alive" and Heads up" were two
of his familiar expressions.
Beckley was born in Hannibal, Mo-,
in 1867 and played on various ANA
teur teams before his ability won him
his first professional baseball JOB
with Leavenworth, Kan; in, 1886. At
the start of the season of 1887 Lin
coin. Neb., bought his services, and
at the end Of that season he went to
Stockton, Cal, in the Coast league.
The st. Louis National league team
obtained him in 1883, but in June of
that year he was bought by the Pitts
burgh Pirates, whose uniform he
wore until 1896, when he was sold to
the New York Giants. BY 1897 he
was being sought by most of the lead
ing teams of the league and was trad
ed that year to Cincinnati. There,
as one of the few baseball players
who still wore mustache, he added
to his reputation and in 1908 again
was sold to the St. Louis Nationals.
Kansas Ciy purchased him in 1907
and, although Beckley had played his
last game in major league company,
he was the hero of many game In
the American Association. In 1903
he led the league in hitting. The
next season he was made manager OF
the Kansas City club, but this was
not his forte and near the close of
the 1909 season. he was replaced by
Danny Shay. The next year ne be-
came manager of the Hannibal Cen
trail Association club in his old home
town, his last baseball job, where ne
first learned the game. -
But '"Eagle Eye" in retirement did
not lose interest in baseball and was
always something of a parsonage
wherever game was being played.

OLD EAGLE EYE

Jacob P. Bleckley Nineteen Years
Star in Major League
Baseball

Kansas City, Mo-, July 17.-Nineteen
years a star in the major leagues,
and score of years of. service in the
minors, is remarkable baseball record
of Jacob P. Beckley-"Old,E Eagle Eye"
who died in Kansas City, his home,
after an illness of five months.
Few of baseballs stars possessed
a batting record that equaled Beck
ley's. He was a terror to pitchers
throughout his career. For thirteen
years "Old Eagle Eye" had an average
of better than 800. a record equaled
only by few. He was one of the
first left handed batsmen, quaint
character, noted in. baseball for his
original Missouri humor, and card
both on and off the field.
Beckley was no parlOr player, but
a believer in the old school game.
He was quick to take advantage when
the umpire wasn't looking and never
stopped batting from the first inning
until the last,
eagle Eye" was regarded as a nat
ural hitter. Bunting was a trick ne
became thoroughly proficient in and
unlike other batters, Beckley turned
his bat handle out The fact that ne
was a left-hand batter aided him In
beating out many hit Of this kind

Dear Sir
I have a letter from the Land De-
velopment and Live Stock Co. of
Chicago, which is a company organ
lied by philantropists for the public
good This company sells high
grade Holstein heifer calves at cost
and offers what seems to me, to be
a wonderful opportunity for farmers
desiring to start a good dairy herd,
to do so at small initial expense. I
believe there are a number of people
in the county who would be glad of
an opportunity to secure high grade
Holsteins at the price. We are quot
ing from the letter as follows:
The calves salvaged by us are
placed in the calf nurseries until ten
days to three weeks of age to fit them
for shipment by express, also to per-
NIT us to eliminate the weaklings
and undesirables so that none but
SLTOuS anu uOdlIuy valves are Sulp-
ped Another point: Some calves,
like some human babies, are born
but to die" this tendency usually
exhibits itself within two weeks af
ter birth; these are eliminated.
The price of these seasoned nur-
sery calves selected with our utmost
care from the best Holstein herds in
this great dairy district and sea-
soned for shipment to their new
homes, is based on cost-plus basis,
as follows: the original cost of the
calf; plus the pro rata death loss;
plus feeding three-dollar milk while
in the nursery; plus overhead and
labor cost; plus Grating and carriage;
plus very small paper profit" The
last item is added to insure against
wasting the funds employed in main.
tanning the calf nurseries. These
funds have been, and are being, sup
piled by patriotic citizens who are
prompted solely by patriotic motives
and expecting no profits or reward
other than the conscience Of a duty j
we'll performed. It is the policy Of

this organization, however, to see to
it that these precious funds are not
wasted. They are performing far
too important a function for that.
To insure the conservation of these
funds we figure in small profit.
These seasoned nursery calves, ten
to twenty days of age, are priced at
$1,000 per head FOB Darlington, Ill.
Grated and delivered to the express
company. The rate from Darlington
to Morris is 1910 per hundred. The
calves averaged $50 to 40 lbs.
Grated.
We do not ship these calves by
freight. The hardships of a trip by
freight more. than offsets the addi-
tional cost of shipping by express.
Also, the calves are Grated individual
ly and are shipped direct to the in
dividual buyer They will arrive in
good shape and are about ready to
go onto a skinned milk diet, though
it is well to let them have some whole
milk for while after their arrival
so as to give them back full strength.
These calves are selected with the
greatest care as to ancestry, milk
producing qualities of the herd,
strength, color and conformation.
Practically every one is from a reg
istered bull and a very high grade
COW. They should be worth upwards
of $4,000 per head when in milk,
as cows of this quality will demand
very high prices few years hence.
Anyone desiring these calves
should write the Land Development
and Live Stock Company, 10 South
Dearborn Street, Chicago, ILL.,, or
notify G. w. Nash Farm Bureau
Manager,
We would also be glad to have you
announce in your paper that there is
large number of calls for Pure Bred
Shorthorn cattle and some calls for
some Of the other breeds and kinds
of Live Stock. Any one having any
such stock for sale will confer q favor
to G. w. Nash, Farm Bureau Man
ager. by letting him know OF same.
Yours truly.

County Agricultural Agent.

MORRIS BOYS SEE THE
SIGHTS In CINCINNATI
Say They Are Enjoying the Training
But Look Most for Letters From
Home

The second letter from Geo.
Vaughan gives some interesting ex-
periences of the boys who left few
weeks ago for special training at the
University of Cincinnati. The boys
are up to their regular tricks as will
be seen by reading the letter below:
DOWN ON THE OHIO"
"Of course few people in western
Minnesota will fancy they are liv-
ing in good old section of the u.
S. A., but nevertheless a brief sojourn
here will testify to the fact that there
are some beautiful sunshiny days up
there, that puts pep into fellow
and the neat looking farm homes and
big red barns still leave the thought
that Stevens county is a good place
to remember
''This week Stevens county men
had physical examinations and the
physician remarked that 'one thing
we were famous for up there
were our good teeth Of course they
may be of second. line defense nature

five hours a day but hereafter we
will get more shop work in connec-
ton with class room work. However,
we all seem to thrive in spite Of the
hills and high buildings.
''The .U' of Cincinnati is supported
by municipal taxes and is very nice
place for work being located up out
of the smoke and noise of the bust
ness sections
Friday we marched 500 strong
from the Hughes High School to the
athletic field. We assembled at the
mess hall, then met the fifteen
U. S. Liberty motor trucks, the first
to be turned out in the U. S. A.
The military band from Fort Thomas
led the parade then Minnesota's 500
followed by the motor trucks and
about $50 u cadets. The civilian
crowd gathered on the athletic field
grandstand and while the parade ar
ranged itself on the field in company
formations. Then the band played
several patriotic airs and we stood
at attention. The president of the
'U' gave a short talk and then the
truck company's president gave a
few remarks, saying at the conclu-
sion: Men of Minnesota, we COM
mend these trucks to your use and
care and may you be successful in
the work which you have under
taken Then came cheers. The
trucks are huge affairs, tho having
no experience with them as yet we
have confidence in their construction.
To be sure we get down town occa-
sionally and frequently meet our
bunch in threes or tours. 1t takes
Jack Smith and Garberick tho to ex-
plore the city. We met them one
night; they were quite all out of
