CHICAGO TEAM
D|SBANDS UNTIL
war IS ENDED
Members of Cub Machine
Scatter Over u. S. to En-
xgage in Essential Work.
(By Associated Press.)

CHICAGO, Sept. 17.-Turning their
backs upon baseball until the German
legions shall have been driven back
across the Rhine, members of the Cub
machine, who won the National league
championship but could not garner the
world title, have scattered far and
wide, complying with the order of the
Provost Marshal General either to
work or fight.
Chicago fans, deprived of their ia
vorie sport, watched the departure of
their favorites with feeling of gloom.
1t was apparent that number among
the vanishing stars never again would
scintilate in the sporting armament
and that henceforward they will be
merely names, vaguely remembered by
tickle public which easily forgets.
Among the men who in normal times
could be counted on for several sea-
sons of baseball on the big time" but
under present conditions probably will
never don the uniform again, Fred
Merkle stands pre-eminent. The last
out in the game at Boston, on Septem-
Der II sounded taps" on Merkle's
baseball career, one of the most stor-
my and one of the most interesting
in the games history. The Chicago
first sacker himself admits he is ''all
through" He has gone back to his
farm and will devote the remainder
of his life to agriculture, with an &C.
casional ball game from the bleachers
for relaxation, he says.
Merkle announced his retirement in
this statement:
Il am mighty glad I never reached
the point where l began to slip back
toward the minors. l often wondered
what | would do when l reached that
point, but instead of my quitting the
Old game, the game quits me, and l
aim able to retire with some measure
of honor at the close of one of the
most successful seasons I ever had.
II am glad to quit too, and go back
to the farm. / have been on the big
time for long while, and for the last
few seasons l have missed some OF
the old pep. Every spring it has been
a little more difficult for me to get
into condition, and the time would
have come soon when l would have
found myself sitting on the bench
waiting for chance to bat in pinch
while some fresh youngster showed
me up on first Then would have come
the release, and after that the minors.
! am glad am through"
Tyler Gone Forever.
George Tyler, the pitcher. probably
has gone forever. Local fans do not
believe the old timers can come back
after a lay-off that promises to last
several years.
Bill Killifer will continue to throw
baseballs when not throwing hand
grenades at the enemy, as will also
Charley Hollocher. Bob O'Farrell and
Bill McCabe. Rollie Zeider, another
old timer, who probably will never
play league ball again, has retired to
the farm.

Law of the Family.

No man lives for himself alone. Whether we will or not, we are de pendent on the exertions of others and others are affected by our good or evil acts, says Parris T. Farwell In the Congregationalist. We belong to @ family, a town, state, nation, to the great family of mankind. Absolute liberty Is not possible even for the members of a family except as the lIb- erty Is guided by good will. If in a home each member considered himself alone, disregarding the wishes and welfare of others, the result would be destruction. That is the best society in which the law of the family Is ap- piled on the largest scale. The Golden Rule is the only law by which ideal so- Ciety can be obtained. "We are mem- bers one of another"

Parliamentary RrixiIene.

Parliamentary privilege means the almost complete freedom from arrest that is accorded members of parlia- mentary bodies. The Constitution of the United States says that senators and representatives shall in all cases, except treason, felony and breach of the peace. be privileged from arrest during their attendance at the session of their respective houses, and in gO- ing to and returning from the same :: and for any speech or debate in either house, they shall not be questioned in any other place." Similar provisions appear in the constitutions of most of the states. The constitution of In- diana makes the provision broader. It says: Senators and representa- tives, In all cases except treason. felony and breach of the peace, shall be privileged from arrest during the session of the general assembly, and in going to and returning from the same, and shall not be subject to any civil process during the session of the general assembly nor during the ff- teen days next before the commence ;ment thereof. For any speech or de- bate in either house member shall not be questioned in any other place"

The back yard poultry movement received another impetus when the subcommittee on poultry of the Com. mittee of Food Supply and Conserve tion decided at a recent meeting in Hartford to push this work in all parts of the state, in addition to what has already been done among school chil- dren and women by the Food Con- servation Committee of the Woman's Committee. Connecticut division, Council of National Defense.
 The subcommittee on poultry point ed out that at least 50 per cen of the poultrymen of the state have gone out of business and that a shortage of eggs and meat Is likely to follow. As a possible means of meeting this shortage and for the additional pur- pose of conserving kitchen waste and other material unfit for human con- sumption a back yard flock of ten hens is advocated wherever it is pos sible to support it.
 The possibilities in this movement, as pointed out by Prof. w. F. Kirk patrick of the Connecticut Agricul- tural College, are decidedly important. He explains that thousand flocks of ten hens may be easily added to the number in each county, thus adding 10000 birds to the number there. As stunning a production of 125 eggs per hen, which is decidedly conservative for back yard flocks, million and quarter fresh eggs may easily be pro- duced in each county and at cost of from one-third to one-half the price these eggs would bring upon the mar ket. This increase in food production is we'll worth while in these days when every bit counts.
 The committee proposes by means of the farm bureaus and the local or ganizations of the Connecticut State Council of Defense to work with the Poultry Association and thus bring the importance of the movement to the attention of every person in the state.
 The committee voted to erect ex- hibits at the Meriden and New Haven poultry shows, which are scheduled for January, showing proper houses for these hocks as well as up-to-date methods of handling them.
 Judge F. M. Peasley is chairman of the committee. Acting with him are Prof. w. F. Kirkpatrick and R. D. Jones. extension poultryman of the -Conneoticut Agricultural College: George VI Smith of West Wilmington, secretary of the Connecticut Poultry Association, and Paul P. Ives of Guil- ford, secretary of the Connecticut Poultry Breeders Association.

NEW POTATO RULE
TUbeTs Must Hereafter Be Sold bl
 Wei0hk Instead of BuShel.

Tubers Must Hereafter Be Sold by
 Weight Instead of eushel.
 A ruling of tie United States food administration makes necessary the selling of potatoes by the hundred weight instead of by the bushel. This rule, which is effective in all parts of the United States, is effective on re- tail dealers, and quotations must be made on the pound basis instead of the bushel basis.
 This change is considered desirable since the standard number of pounds in bushel varies in many states and much confusion has arisen as a result The placing of the market on the new basis insures uniformity.
 The food administrator for Con. necticut also urged the grading of potatoes for market, setting forth the reasons as follows:
 Why grade potstoes Because 1t is progressive. For years the grow CTS of fruit in California and the Pa cific Northwest have competed sue cessfully with growers a thousand miles nearer the markets they en- tered. The western growers grade their products so that every box is uniform and pack in such manner that every fruit is perfect when it reaches the consumer. Following their lead. New York apple growers and others now grade and pack carefully. Apples from such states are standard in markets, demanded and well paid for by those who know good fruit and wish always to be sure they get 1t.
 Southern potato growers associa- tions have graded potatoes for years and marked their best grades. In the poor market year of 1915 practically every car. of 10000 sent out by one southern association was sold direct. The buyers knew just what they would get from this association and took it's stock at fair price, while ungraded potatoes went begging. Other ship pers' associations and many large growers have recognized the trend of events and would have graded all their potatoes even had the food admins tration not required 1t. Be up-to-uate, then, and grade your potatoes"

American aviation units have moved up to stations immediately behind the front In France. The vanguard of tas new army of the air for which Congress voted S64O. 900. 900 last sum. mer Is about to Join the forces of land and sea in action against the Germans.
 The navy has tripled in size since the war began. and the army has mul. tipIIed itself by 13. These are rapid increases. But the first year plans for the air service call for an increase of more than a hundredfold.
 Last spring the aviation corps had le is than 200 airplanes of all degrees O. seryIeeability. Now a fleet of 22,. 900 planes Is being built. When war began there were 75 aviatOrs A force oi 10000 aviators Is being trained. The total personnel of the old flying corps, ground workers as we'll as niers. was 2.000. The total personnel of the new flying corps is 100000.
 Before any real fighting planes could be turned out a new American industry had to be created. This Is the great task that has been quietly accomplished in the last five months. When the Aircraft Production Board started its work only two companies manufacturing Rirplanes were in op- eration In America. and the machines they had been making for the allies were of type serviceable only for practice flights.
 The first move of the board was to stop negotiations for the use of ex- IstIng patents and to set men at work designing new airplane engine which should comprise as many of the good points of the different patents as those men cared to use. In a week % experts working together had evolved the Liberty motor, which Sec retRry Baker has called the greatest achievement of the war so far.
 The Liberty motor Is a model of standardization. It is built with four cylinders or with eight or with twelve, and the same parts are interchange able for all three of the different sizes. The greatest automobile factories In the world have been provided with the machinery necessary for turning out these moters-the factories that have supplied the United States with it's 4.0OO, ,00O automobiles when all the rest of the world gets along with only 100000.
 It has been necessary all along not to interfere with the supply of raw materials. particularly spruce. and of certain completed aeroplane parts 10 the flying forces of our allies.
 In return for these materials the allies are giving us the rich benedt of their experience. For months young Americans have been in train ing for our air corps on the flying fields of England and France. On a dozen and more of new flying fields in America veteran fliers from the western front are helping in the pre- liminary training of our new aviators.
 AS to whether the war can be won in the air there seem to be two Opin- ions. At any rate. the aviation sec ton Is not leaving any stones un- turned.
