MAGNATES BROUGHT
ON HEAVY EXPENSES
High Cost of Major League Ball
No Fault of Players.
Club Owners Formed Habit Of Spend
ing Money Like Sailors on Shore
Leave for Stars Of Game
Also Built Fine Parks.

The high cost of baseball, as 1t ap-
plies to the, major leagues. is being
felt more heavily than ever before by
the men who control the game.
There has been "A great deal OF dis
satisfaction expressed by some of the
club owners over the expense of run
ming a big league ball club for the
past three or four years, but since
Uncle Samuel tossed his chapeau into
the big ring 1t has grown stronger.
Yet, in reality, the magnates have
little leeway to yelp, for with the ex-
ception of adverse influence caused by
the Federal league they are alone to
blame for the fact that operating ma
jor league clubs costs like sixty.
The players are not responsible for
the fact that the club owners formed
habit Of spending money like sailors
on shore leave for the stars of the
game. They are not to blame because
certain clubs or club owners were will
ing to pay big, fat salaries to their
headllners. And it is no fault of the
player that he has come to expect
these things In the big show.
Baseball has grown to be the great
est Of sports. It Is the most popular
pastime and recreation of the Ameri-
can public, and the mags have made
it what it is. They have made 1t II
strictly commercialiZed sport that IL
very much in demand, and as in any
other business, the club owner who
makes the biggest hit with his public
is the one who gets the gravy.
There hasn't been n major league
ball park built within recent years
that was not built to accommodate
worlds series crowd. That is the aim
of every club-to get into a worlds
series. But fine parks, high salaries
and spirited bidding for the services
of the stars of the diamond are the
work of the club owners alone, so why
should they yelp?
Baseball is a red-blooded sport and
Il cold-blooded business. 1t has been
built up to n standard level and 1t
must be kept there. So what's the use
of the magnate ouching over the high
cost Of It? He doesn't lead the worst
life in the world by a whole lot.

That the monarch of the air, the
sea eagle, has disappeared from Cath

Shetlands, Is Northumberland fact.
The sea eagle is not very uncommon
in the Fest Highlands, and still builds
its nest on various hills abuttlng on
the cllffy coast. The sites Of the nests

always been accused of killing lambs,

Jimmy Page was ,he first man to
whip John l.. Sullivan, but the records
nre silent. They credit James ]. Cor
bett with that lone distinction.
Jimmy Page was headmaster Of the
Dwight School, Springfield street, Bos-
ton, Mass, and one of his twelve-year-
old misch,ef-makers was one John L.
Sullivan. One day, after the young
mans teacher could no longer endure
Sullivan's idleness and thickness, he
sent for Jimmy Page, long hero in
Boston's school circles.
"Step up here, young man." said jim
my to John L. Now you're going to
learn better manners"
And John L. stepped up and, with
out a whimper, took his rat-tanning in
front of the whole class.
But the records don't say a word
about this first defeat of John L. Sui
livan.

BOY, GIRL, JOIN A

VIII you raise pig for sol

available? The United States
department of agriculture is
seeking to enroll 100000 boys
and girls in pig clubs this year
Junior soldiers of the com

pig clubs produced 100000
pounds Of dressed pork last
year, how much pork will 2OO,-
900 members turn in to the na-
tiOnal larder in 1918? Every
boy or girl who can do so should
raise one or more pigs for Uncle
Sam and thus furnish the meat
supply for a soldier. Ask your
county agricultural agent about
this opportunity or write to the
director of extension at your
state agricultural college.

TRIPLE IN UPPERS

Joe Cantillon of the Minneap-
oils Millers, says he has no pa
tience with ball players who kick
on being assigned to upper
berths or even doubling UP in
them. "Why, we used to triple
in uppers," says Joe.
Some one expressed doubt as
to that and then Joe explained

said. 1.-TWO hours in bed and

Care Brood Sow Needs.

Do not confine the sow in her far
rowing pen more than As hours before
farrowing time If 1t is possible to avoid
doing so. Reduce the heavy feed to
some extent, probably about half, for
that length of time. The narrowing
house or pen should be comfortably
warm, we'll ventilated, and well light
ed. Above all else, 1t should be well
bedded. DO not allow any circulation
of air under the door. Too many hog
growers make the mistake Of bedding
too lightly, Heavy bedding naturally

GOoJ USE OF TABLE WASTES
Four Plans of Work Available Out
llned-Pork Produced Will Aid
Poor Families in Combating

Two hundred thousand boys and
girls wanted to grow pork in pig clubs
this year:
You can figure the contribution such
pig-raising army might make to the
meat supply by what $4,000 members
produced last year-apprOXimately 10,-
100000 pounds of dressed pork. That
contribution means that the pig clubs
have an important part in the more
meat program and specialists of the
United States department of agrcul-
ture, aided by state club leaders, are
endeavoring to reach the 100000 goal
in membership this year.
The boys and girls are responding to
the appeal of the state and federal
workers assigned to club work, and
Indications now are that the goal will
be attained. Bankers are helping large
numbers of worthy boys and girls TO
buy pigs and are finding it most sue
cessful enterprise. The note of pig
club member always can be rated as
'gilt-edged" security, it is said.

The approved method of teaching
very young children is to disguise the
instruction under the cloak of amuse-
ment. An interesting development in
the carrying out of this idea is found
in the sand pictures Of Walter A.
Ward, which are described IN the Pop
ular Science Monthly. Cardboards
covered with colored pictures of eni-
mails are given to the children together
with bottles containing the variously
colored sand. The children paint the
body of the animals with glue, and
then carefully cover the colored por-
tions of the animal bodies with the ap-
prOpriate cOlOrs of sand.

Formation of Clubs.

The pig clubs are conducted cooper
atively by the state extension forces
and the United States department of
agriculture. Boys and girls who wish
to join a club should consult their
county agent or write to the Director
of Extension at their State Agricul-
tural College. the boys and girls are
organized into clubs and suitable local
leaders secured. The members are
aided in securing pigs; given instruc-
ton in the proper care, feed and man
agement of swine, and at the close
of the season the members compete
for prizes for the best work. These
prizes usually are of an educational
nature, such as trip to the state fair
or farmers short course.
The children of the farms are not
the only ones who are aiding in the in
creased production campaign. Clubs
have been organized in many towns
and city suburbs, where the boards of
health give permission The pigs kept
in zee towns are fed very largely on
taDle wastes, etc, so the grain con-
sumed and the cost of production will
both be small.
There are four plans Of work avail
able for pig club members. The first
Is the feeding phase, which consists of
fattening one or more pigs to mar
ketable size. The second is the breed
ing Phase where a well-bred weanling
pig is raised until it is of suitable age
to start producing. Then there is the
SOW and litter phase where the club
member cares for sow and her litter
of pigs. This phase is not suitable for
boys and girls who have not had ex-
perience in handling swine, For men,
berS with good training and experience
there is the herd phase where they
take charge of all the hogs on the
farm.
The work in the towns and suburbs
is practically limited to the feeding
phase. The pork produced by these
boys and girls, besides helping to meet
the urgent need for pork and pork
products, will also aid many of the
poor families in combating the high
cost of living.
Besides the direct increase in the
meat supply from the club members
pigs, the patriotic spirit which the
members universally show is inspiring
thousands of farmers to increase their
production where other appeals have

295 VERMONT MEN

This Record Is Best of New England

Who Did Not Respond.

MONTPELIER, Feb. According
to figures which have been given out by
provost Marshal General Crowder, show
ing the comparison of state statistics
III response to registrants, there were
20 persons in Vermont who did not
appear for examination during the first
application of the draft. This is the
lowest number of any of the New Eng
land states. Massachusetts is the high
est with 9,763. Rhode Island was near
est to Vermont, for 545 in that state
failed to appear for examination.
Vermont had one county, Windham,
in which the quota was filled by volun-
tary enhstments. Maine had eight of
these, while Massachusetts did not have
a single one. The same is true of New
Hampshire. Grand Isle and Orleans
counties, Vermont, enjoy prominence
not held by any county in the four
Iabove-named states, for in Grand Isle
and Orleans counties only one man
failed to appear. Washington county
did almost as well with three failing to
appear, two Of whom have since been
