The landlords. upon revertins to the
courts, are denied satisfaction. Com
mon, everyday justice is denied to
them.
"Po!lticans seeking votes are now
organizing disgruntled tenants to op
pose the rights of landlords; advising
them to disregard agreements and to
refuse to pay rent. The reason given
'or refusing to pay is that landlords
have failed to supply heat.
We landlords have done eyerythiny
IN our power to get coal. Members Of
ten or twelve realty associations have
repeatedly appealed to Fuel Admins
tr%tor Reeve Schley, but he has frankly
.olI US nc could not help us. Damage
TO frozen pipes has exceeded, in some
cases. the cost Of an entire winter.s
supply OF coal. Depreciation to build
,ngs on account of the lack Of heat has
been severe and costly.
Public Opinion with Tenants

they refuse to pay rent. Somehow mix,
nc opinion is with them. Courts aro

These optimistic conclusions were

1t was announced that State Fuel
Administrator Albert H. Wiggin had
sent a letter to all county fuel admin
istrators calling upon them to make
public this statement. The work al
ready accomplished has caused many
coal users to arrange for wood sun
Plies, further cutting down the daily
coal requirements of the state.
Acting on the theory that the war and
ITS problems will still be at hand next
winter, the administrators are bend;nr

1t was explained that the numerous
demands for coal had distracted atten-

being sidetracked by all of the roads
IN preference to coal. Some Of tho
roads have placed an official embaroo
on the tankers, thus making it impos-

VET OF VETERANS
Has Been a Manager
for 26 Years.
He's Getting Close to so, but
Still Has the Pep.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, April 4.-Twentysix
odd years ago George Stallinss- the
sterr commander of the Boston
Rraves. started his career as a mana
ger
His first managerial contract was
signed with the San Jose, Cal, club,
and he made good from the start.
That was away back in 1892, and
SIM that time his experience in base
ball has been varied, and he has de-
velope6 some great teams.
After leaving the San Jose club
StaIlirgs managed clubs at Augusta
and Nashville, in the South Atlantic
LEAGUE ana Southern association. In
1896 he became manager of Detroit
and the next year signed to pilot the
Pnillies. remaining in Quakertown
two year- The next year he went
back to the Detroit club, where he
stuck until 1902, when he signed to
manage tho Yankees Since that time
he hes managed Buffalo and Newark.

1913.
Vet Among Veterans.
If tl,s Miracle Man of Boston never

Gran managers, and he has a record
of wh.ch he may we'll be proud. His
ach. evernent of 1914, when he brought
the Braves from last place to pen
nant and the worlds championship Is
the high water mark of his career.
There has been many a yarn writ
ten about the stern hand with which
Stallings runs his ball clubs. but there
is another feature about him which is
not generally known-the fact that he
is superstitious. A cross-eyed fan,
load of hay, an umpire's whiskbroom
and many other things are bad luck
to Stallings. But most peculiar of all
is his aversion to having birds light
on the roof of the Braves dugout. He
sees defeat staring him in the face
any time this happens.
He Is Near Fifty But Spry.
Stallings is getting close to fifty
years of age. but he is the kind of a
man who wears well. BY nature he is
highly aggressive. tho not in the way
of McGraw or Jennings. Off the ball
field the champion cattle raiser of
Haddock, Ga. is a quiet and retiring
chap who thinks a lot and says but
little. He is tall. broad-shouldered
and confident looking, and he has a
bearing that convinces one he is every
inch a man-and big one .ef
Stallings was never a star of major
league caliber as a player. He got his
start in semi-pro and college ranks as

EAT MUTTON CHOPS
People Who Do So Will Help Allies
to Win War.

Manhattan, Kan, April 4.-By eat

serving beef and pork. Kansans can
help win the war, points out A. H.
Paters- n, assistant professor of animal
husbandry in the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college.
Beef and pork are the principal
meats used by the United States army
and those of the allies" said Paterson.
IF the people of this country would
eat more lamb and mutton it would
conserve other meats essential to the
armies. Is
Lamb and mutton are wholesome
and we'll favored, and are the most
healthfu1 of meats because fewer
sheep are condemned on the market
because of infectious disease than any
other class of meat animals.
