Connie Mack favors a shorter sea-
son for the coming year, and would
abolish the spring training trip for
all but those teams 50 far North
that they are unable TO practice at
home.
Mack believes that great many
ball players will be developed by
the war. Whether they will be of
big league calibre remains to be
seen.
The Athletics, ne believes, should
have a fair team next year. He ex-
poets to be able to boost the pitch
ing strength offthe team somewhat
and will make an effort to improve
the hitting. Mr.. Mack has a couple
of new pitchers in sight.

WET WEATHER AND IT'S
EFFECTS ON POULTRY

"hat was the total loss of Robesor

chlcks), Friday, Saturday and Sunday
April 10, 20, and 21?
WY little chicks were drowned be-
Iause l did not build an A-shaped

ted front placed on a 3 foot square
1loor made of 2x4 scantling to ele-
vate entire coop from the ground. the
cracks on each side beng Slated to
prevent rain beating in, thus making
a perfect roof.
The result Of my baby chicks be-
Ing downed was that l will have late
maturing hens, which will not law
until spring, therefore l have lost the
hlgh-priced hen, which would have
Deen an early mother. l have thus
lost the value Of an early mother hen

Thanksgiving and Christmass TINS s
resulting in losing business. Why /?
Because l did not have an A-shaped
brood coop.
10 estimate the loss of drowned
baby chicks in Robson county is a
practical impossibility for today, but
next winter when high-priced eggs
should be sold, then Just calculate the
value OF one egg per day to each two
biddies and you will have approxima-
tely the loss on your farm up to that
date; but year from now consider
the misfortune Of not having an early
producing hen, and you have another
immense loss.

BEULAH SCHOOL CLOSING.
Interesting Concert and Speech
Words of Praise for the
Teacher.
Reported for The Robesonian.

There was a very interesting con-
cert pulled off as a closing exercise
at Beulah school house, Wishart town
ship, Wednesday evening.
How Mr.. Ira F. Britt, their excel
lent teacher, managed to prepare 50
elaborate and entertaining exercise
with only a handful of young and in
experienced children can be explained
only by resorting to the evident facts
that he has an unusual talent for such
noble training and that he had chill
dren of rare responsiveness with
which to exercise his talent. Not
only their work on the stage, but 9th
er facts as to their requirements, such
as perfect in attendance and perfect
in spelling, showed many of those
pupils to be second to none in the
whole country. In fact, so we'll had
several of those children acquitted
themselves that their teacher mad
converted good part of his salary
into premiums a stokens Of his ap-
probation of the strenuous efforts OF
several of his pupils. The writer
would be glad to say a great deal con-
cerning Mr.. Britt himself, but suffice
it to say that Beulah school was very
fortunate in securing for their teach
er man with the skill, mental ac-
tivity, and, most Of all, the fine type
of Christian character, that Mr.. Britt
has for many years evinced.
Prof. R. E. Sentelle was there to
crown the exercises, which he most
nobly did with speech Of rare ex-
cellence. He started out by making
a few short but very pointed and i'm
pressive remarks on the function of
the school. But the greater part of
his address concerned the war, its
nearness to us by our boys being call
ed to defend and, in many cases, to
die for our liberty, and the part we
are called on to play in the tragedy
He told how, by lending part to our
government, we might save that and
whatever else we have from fina1
confiscation by the German autocrats
And, my friends, it begins to look like
something Of the kind may take
place.
Perfect order and keen interest were
maintained to the last minute, despit'
the fact that the exercises were til
II o'clock finding stopping place.
