second after the CATCH Eddie bounced
the ball to Morgan. who was browsing

out: The bases were filled when Nc
1nnis walked and hole No. was bridged
when Lavan took care of Whiteman's
hopper.
Another abyss confronted the doc
tor In the second. With Scott out of
the way Agnew hit to center and was
safe at second when Ayers grabbed
Jones' bunt and pegged high to Nor
gan. Hooper and Shean both lifted
nies. Yancey set down the enemy in
order In the third, but he faced yawn-
ing chasm No. 3. the gravest Of the
lot. in the following frame. White
man started with single to center
and Scott bounced a hit off Ayers

to Ayers, and Whiteman was run
down on the line. Picinich, Lavan and
Foster all having a hand in it, the

Encouraged by a one-run lead ac-

by Shanks and Morgan. aided by the
generosity of his pitching opponent,
Samyouel1 Jones, Ayers survived as
fine a drubbing as has been handed a
Washington pitcher since the war up

as much of a capacity for absorbing
punishment as a sponge does water.
There were hits to the right of him,
hits to the left, in front and back

remarkable part of 1t was that if his
playmates had not grown careless the
battle might have lasted for five hours
instead of mere two hours and

PRODUCTION OF FALL COLTS

prepared by the United States Depart

Since the production Of fall colts
seems to be gaining favor in many
horse-producing sections, as well as
in some sections where the production
of horses has been previously neg
iected, 1T is desirable that these young
sters be accorded every chance to be-
gin the winner season in the best Dos
sible conditions, Although they avoid
the fly evil, they are exposed to ex-
-tremeiy cold weather and of necessity
must be maintained in stables most
of the time until the following grass
season.
Jolnt-ill. a germ disease, which
causes the deaths of hundreds of new
born foals, should be controlled by
legation or binding of the unbilical
cord as soon as possible after birth
and the subsequent swabbing of the
small portion of the cord left pendant
in a 1880 solution Of corrosive sub
Innate. The filth germs which cause
the disease enter the body by means
of the umbilical cord unless such pre-
cautions are taken. A piece of sur
geon's silk should be bound around
the cord as close to the body of the
animal as possible. Then the sub
Innate solution should be applied to
the pendulous portion Of the cord
twice daily until 1t drops off. The
colt should he horn in a welI-iiphtad
and ventilated stable. in a stall which
has been disinfected thoroughly and
bedded with clean, bright straw. Aft
er the birth of the colt the stall should
be cleaned out and disinfected again
while the litter should be burned.

Dead Man Upright at Machine Gun.

Stories of the scenes Of the battle

Mrs. Fl. f. Wilson of Middle avenue.
Wilmerding, Pa, from her son, Pri-
vate Gordon Wilson of the One Hun
dred and Ninth Ambulance corps.
Walking over the battlefield in
search of wounded men, he wrote, he

he was preparing to pour a volley into
the advancing columns.

squad of engineers at Camp Shelby,

Soldiers from nearby tents hurried to

spoke very suddenly and seriously.
writes Margaret f. Sangster In the

afraid 10 take II"
The rain beat In a futile manner

"Why?" | questioned at last-"why
are you afraid to take your chance
to he happy?"
Because" answered my friend. and
her eyes looked far away-past the car
and the rain, even-'because I'm
afraid that II won't lastI"
When IL Is autumn and the leaves
are crimson and gold-colored and very
beautiful, we know. even as we admire
them. that they will be brown and
withered some day. But that does not
keep us from loving their glorious col
Org.
It's like that. too, with flowers. and
springtime, and the blue sky of sum
mer. We know that the flowers will
fade away and that %springtime will go
and that there will be winter storm
clouds where there were once sparkleS
of sun.
And so this is the answer to my
friend and to other friends of mine:
Never be afraid to grasp at happi-
ness because II may not last. For hap
piness Is as beautiful as the flowers OF
spring and the sky, of summer and
the vivid leaves OF autumn. And even
though it might not last. happiness Is
too beautiful to pass by with never q
glance.
And then, as the philosopher said.
and as we know. don't be sure. as you
take your chance at happiness, that il
will not stay. Look around your cir
Gle of friends, look at your business
associates, look at the casual crowds
and note the average of happy faces is
rather high. You'll see more smiles. /
think, than frowns; more merry faces
than sad ones!
Don't be afraid to take a chance ut
happiness because you fear that it il
too beautiful to last. Take your
chance, instead, arguing that happiness
Is too beautiful not to last

Observations of the dark part OF the
moon were made by Professor Lowell al
the observatory at Flagstaff, Ariz.,
says the New York World. The dark
part of the moon is lighted only by the
faint light reflected by the earth. and
the color of this light would be the
color with which the earth shines to
the other heavenly bodies. This color
proved to be blue, which was to be ex-
pected, as the atmosphere. as we see
1t, is blue, and 1t Is the earth's atmos-
phere which chiefly would be visible to
other planets. Thus the earth Is q

In any rural community badly in
tested with rats, ii is a good plan for
farmers TO form rat clubs and offer
prizes for destroying the rodents. The
younger members of the community as
well as adults should be allowed to
compete and the prizes should bel
awarded periodically, as once a
month. A first, second, and third prize
are suggested for those who bring in
the greatest number of rat tails. Spe-
cific rules governing the contests
should be made at the start, and in
structiOn as to the proper methods of
trapping or otherwise killing rats
should be a part of the program for
each meeting of the club. Prizes may
be provided by private donation or
ven by assessment of members. The
plan gives better satisfaction than a
system of straight rewards, because 1t
arouses more enthusiasm and costs
less. A rat and sparrow club in Eng
land in three seasons secured the de-
structi0n of 10000 rats and $4,000
sparrows by an expenditure of less
than $50 in prize money. Had ordi-
nary bounties been paid, the same
work would have cost $1,000 or 81 200.
Cooperation Needed.

Increase of rodents in winter and a
