M06ULS LACKING IN
ENTHUSIASM IN WAR
Captain Huston Raps Owners Of
Major League Clubs.
Baseball Paying Too Much Attention
to Dollars and cents-It Was
Boss Of Yankee Who suggest
Cd Drilling Of Players.

Capt. T. L. Huston's scathing ar.
raignment of big league baseball men
for what he calls lack of interest to
the proper extent In the war. may b
traced, to a large extent, to the state
ment given out by Captain Huston,
almost 4 year ago.
At that time Captain Huston was in
a training camp near Detroit, Mich, he
hammered the interview out on a small
typewriter while he sat on camp
stool In a tent.
1t was the part owner Of the Yam
KEGS who suggested the idea Of drill
ing American league ball players,
which was gobbled up by Ban John
son. president Of the league. 30 quick
~ that Ban was given the publicity
that went with it. The fact that Cap
tain Huston was the originator was
lost sight of In the praise for Johnson.
Seeing into the future, and outlfn.
ing forthcoming difficulties for base
ball. Captain Huston suggested in this
statement that drilling be prolonged
in the American league by having tho
accomplished men In the clubs drill
companies Of fans who would act az
a sort of home guard in case Of need.
In this manner, Captain Huston point
ed out, there would be some good from
the drills so periodically paraded be-
fore the fans last summer.
Instead Of taking up Captain Hus-
tons suggestion johnson and his col
leagues ignored 1t to such an extent
that It has now been dropped from
the league. There will be no drilling
at all this summer In the American
league. Captain Illusions missionary
work in the American league has gone
for naught, which may account for
some Of the bitterness his letter from
the land of fire and birthstone carries
Captain Huston points out a grave
and forceful fact: That baseball II

BRIGHT FUTURE FOR SPORTS
President Pilkinoton Of Amateur Oars
men Talks Of Athletics After
End Of War.

Jim Pilkington, president Of the Ma
tional Association OF Amateur Oars
men, sees a brilliant prospect for all
athletic sports when peace Is declared.
Pilkington, whose active association
with the governing body in rowing
goes back to 1S76-within a decade of
the end of the Civil war-believes that
conditions following the great war will
be much the same as those which were
experienced here In the reconstruction
period.
'The Civil war, or rather the ending
Of 1t, gave sport It's impetus In this
country" said Jim.
because Uncle Sam Is practically
making athletics compulsory in tho
land and naval forces, hundreds and
thousands Of young men who never
before engaged in sport have become
active and enthusiastic athletes. 1t Is
easy to see what the result will be
when the war ends"

AND HE LEFT THE DOLLAR

jenkins, who had gone to the store

tice, while the assistant was serving
him, dollar lying on the floor near
by his foot-a whole round, silver dol
lar.
Quivering with excitement and
glancing cautiously round to see that
no one was watching him, he dropped
quite accidentally, Of course-one
of his gloves on top of the coin, Then.
bending, he proceeded to pick up his
glove; but the dollar did not accom-
pany it. The elusive coin still re-
manned where it was-upon the floor.
He made second attempt to get hold
of it, but with the same result.
Then, just as he was contemplating
the wisdom of third endeavor, a sales
man came up to him and said:
"Good evening, sir May be al
lowed to show you bottle Of our ia
nous liquid glue? AS, no doubt, you
are aware, its sticking powers"
But jenkins had fled.

and the hogs should be dipped twice
with an interval between clippings Of
seven to ten days. Lime-suiphur dip
may be purchased in concentrated
form, or it may be prepared at home as
follows: Stake ten pounds of quick
lime with sufficient water to make a
thin paste, and stir in "a pounds of fine
sulphur (fowers or four). Boil this
mixture for two hours in 25 or so gal
Ions of water. Allow the sediment to

hose from a boiler.
Durable Dipping Vat.
Dipping watts are made of various
materials, but the most durable is ce-
ment. The vat should be set in the
ground at a convenient place where
there is good surface drainage away
from the vat. A suitable size for vat
in which to dip hogs is 10 feet long at
the top, 8 feet long at the bottom, I
foot wide at the bottom and feet
wide at the top. 1t should be
deep enough so that the hogs will be
completely immersed in the dip and
will not strike the bottom of the val
when they plunge. If possible, the val
should be located so that Pinch draiI
pipe may lead from the bottom of the
vat to facilitate emptying and clean
ing, otherwise it is necessary to pump
or dip out the contents Of the vat il
order to clean it. Do not use old, filthy
dip, but clean and re-charge the val
before dipping again If the dip has be
come very dirty or ii it has stood {
long time in the vat. The end wher,
the hogs enter should be perpendicular
and the entrance should be on slide
The other end should slope gradually
with cleats to provide footholds for tn
hogs for emerging after dipping. 4
dipping vat is very useful wherever /,

WHEAT BRAN is BEING USED
Outside Coating Of Grain Is Residue Of
Wheat and Is Considered Best
of Cow Feed.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Bran is the outside coating of grains,
and is the residue or by-product from
the manufacture of flour. Wheat
bran may be derived from winter or
spring wheat, and there is little diff
ference in it's composition from either
source.
From a physiological standpoint
wheat bran is one Of the very best
feeds for cows. It is slightly laxative
in nature, and generally tends to keep
the cows digestive system in good con-
dition. The price based upon its pro-
tein content is usually so high that
most commercial dairymen combine it
with other feeds in which protein costs
less per pound. Aside from the value
of the nutrients which it contains, it
has q special value in feeding mix
ture, as it gives bulk and adds to the
palatability. Wheat bran may be used
when the rest of the grain ration is
lacking in palatability or is Of con-
stipating nature. 1t is especially good
when the roughage is all dry. The
best grades of wheat bran are light
weight, with large flakes. Some of the
large mills put the sweepings from
the mill into the bran; therefore, it is
usually best to buy the highest grade
of bran, provided the mills grading it
are reliable. The output of small
country mills is usually Of excellent
quality. Bran contains a high pro-
portion of phosphorus and potash in
| its ash content.

FOUND WHAT CHARM NEEDED
Magician Finally Discovered Just
What Was Lacking in Magic
That Insured Happiness.

An old legend tells of a magician
who claimed that he had found how to
make charm to insure happiness.
Then as pupils f1ocked to him he
set them to making small mosaic
or picture out of various tiny col
ored stones. Each stone represented
single one of the elements that
make up happiness. When the mosaic
was done it was to be charm that
would insure happiness for all the rest
of life.
But, alas! though the mosaic was
put together ever so carefully, it did
not work as he had planned. One after
another his pupils left him in disap-
pointment, their faces as sad, their
hearts as heavy, as when they came.
ut must work |" sighed the magi-
clan. II have studied the rules until
know l am right. I have just the
right proportion of good health, sue
cess, wealth, education, leisure and all
the other things needed"
Then one day came a new pupil
who put together the mosaic of hap.
piness, and when it was done he took
it as a gift to friend whom he loved
And this mosaic proved to have the
desired charm, for it gave happiness
both to the one who made it and the
one who received it.
"Ah,!'' said the magician. II have
found now what was missing in my
happiness mosaic. 1t can become {
