"Spoi1s to Victors. 4"

"To the victors belong the epoils, "
is the argument that members Of the
Yankees and other clubs are making
October when another series will be
put on. After the series of 1913 the
members Of the New York club got
individual checks for about $3.50, as
their bit of the world series. They
could naturally look for more under
the changed conditions Of base ball
this year. and they should finish high
they are willing to make 1t a case of
all or nothing.
1t has been the consensus of opfn-
ion among major league players since
the 1918 series that neither the Red
Sox nor Cubs got the amount COM
mensurate with winning their respec-
tive pennants. No argument is ad-
vanced that the players should draw
down any such dividends as they did
in the series of few years ago, when
they ran as high. as $4,000 a player to
the winners and almost $4,000 to the
losers. But the players will argue
that the teams finishing second, third
and fourth should not figure in the
money.
with the world series prices re-
duced, as they were last fall and will
continue to prevail in the future, the
sums to be divided among the pen
nant winners will necessarily be much
smaller than in the old days. This
act; say advocates Of the change,
guarantees that the pennant winners
will not be overpaid for their world
series play. Second-place clubs In 1918

by the Cubs. the National League PEN

Of both to mako q change. But in

cially affected by the plan. there ap-
pears to be no good reason why .

1t Is understood that the matter OF

leagues and that some action is likely
long before the pennant races are de-
cided. A better division for the win

TOREVSE WORLD
SERIES FINANCES
PLAYERS Anxious to Have Big
Games on Winner-Take-
All Basis.

The New York Sun correspondent
writes home from Chicago as follows:
AS the Yankees move through the
west on their first swing of the year
rumors are heard of a movement
among the players of the various
American League clubs. with the OBJ
ject of getting a revision Of the rules
governing world series. The plan be-
ing discussed is to ask that the series
be put back on the winner-ta take "a II
basis, just as it was up to last fall.
when the four first division clubs in
each league cut in on the melon.
If the sentiment of the Yankees can
be taken as a criterion the players
of the valous clubs look with disfavor
on the arrangement that went into
OBJECT last fall. Higgins team has a
chance to win in the American league.
1t cannot be called any odds-on af-
fair. Three other clubs have chance,
at least, as strong. and therefore 1t
might appear reasonable to expect
that the Yankees would like to string
along and take a cut that goes with
a lower position This would be the
safety play. but the Yanks. at least
those who are outskoken about 1t, are
against the new arrangement.

WHY is A FARM BUREAU?

A live farm bureau is one Of the
busiest organizations in a county.
Just how busy it can be may be real
lied by learning what the Cass Coun-
ty Farm Bureau is doing this year.
The bureau is conducting the follow
ing number of demonstrations, deal
ing with the subjects named: 81 with
soybeans, Ia hog feeding, soil saw
ing, % poultry culling, II oats smut
control, II alfalfa production, 3 kill
ing army worms, 8 orchard spraying
8 wheat smut control, and as fertil-
izer demonstrations. The bureau is
promoting the following associations:
farm loan, live stock breeders, Short,
horn breeders, Hereford breeders, Pc.
land China breeders, and fifteen com.
munity organizations, besides -four
calf clubs with a total of 157 calves
In the meantime the bureau has found
time to locate 1,10S bushels of sect
corn, test $3.50 ears of seed corn, anG
sell $30,501 worth of products this
year.
Perhaps this will answer the ques.
ton, "Why is farm bureau?"

LATEST RULINGS ON
LIFE INSURANCE

A series of decisions issued by the
Director of the Bureau of War Risk
Insurance with the approval of the
Secretary of the Treasury provides
more liberal conditions for reinstate-
ment of lapsed or Cancelled insurance.
The provisions of Treasury Decision
No. At, allowing eighteen months from
I the date of discharge for reinstate-
ment upon payment of only two
months premiums on the amount of
insurance to be reinstated, are re-
tanned. That decision is liberaliZed,
however, by new provision that men
out of the service are permitted to re-
instate by merely paying the two
months premiums without making a
statement as to health at any time
within three calendar months follow
ing the month of discharge.
After the three months following
the date Of discharge have elapsed, a
statement from the applicant to the
effect that he is in as gaod health as
at the date of discharge or at the ex-
piration of the grace period, whichev-
err is the later date. will be required to
gether with written application for
reinstatement and the tender of two
/ months premiums on the amount of
insurance he wishes to reinstate.
In order to give all former service
men whose insurance has lapsed or
been Cancelled, fair chance to rein.
state their insurance, including men
who have been out of the service
eighteen months or more, and who are
therefore barred from reinstatement
under the former ruling, a special
blanket ruling is made which allows
all eX-service men to reinstate their
insurance before December 81, 1919,
provided that each applicant is in as
good health as at date of discharge
or at expiration Of the grace period,
whichever is the later date, and so
states in his application. OF course It
is necessary that he tender the two
months premiums on the amount of
insurance to reinstate.
Service men who reinstated their in
surance by payment of all back pre-
miums prior to July 25, 1919, when the
decision requiring payment of only
two months premiums went into eff
feet, upon written application to the
Bureau may have any premiums paid
in excess of two applied toward the
payment of future premiums. For ex-
ample, if after policy had lapsed for
six months, a man reinstated and paid
six months premiums instead of two,
he may secure credit for four months
premiums.
The provisions for reinstatement do
not protect man until he actually re-
instates. If he waits he may not be
in as good health as he was at the
time of discharge and consequently
may not be able to secure reinstate-
ment.
Don't put off reinstatement. Do it
now!

u. S. May Close Its Open Door

culties of an industrial character. If
we are to solve the difficulties It will
be by the undivided support of our
institutions, from which we have OBJ
tanned the blessings we now enjoy.
MANY foolish ideas are being cir
culated amongst the foreign born pop
ulation of the United States. These
foreign born are interesting them
selves in the destruction OF our pri-
mary institutions and defiance of our
laws. The American people are fast
losing patience with this attitude.
at may develop out of this that the
open door towards Europe will be in
a large measure closed. But worse
than this, there may develop out of
it a prejudice against any speaker of
a foreign language in the United
States. 1t creates prejudice against
extended aid to these countries in Eu-

SUPPOSE FARMERS STRIKE

The farmers keep their heads when
all others fly off the track. We ask
city workers to ponder moment what
might happen II the farmers should
do what the workers are -doing-de-
manding shorter hours and higher
pay. The farmers are their own boss
es, SO they would not have to quarrel
with anybody. They could hold out
on strike until they got good and
ready, for they can feed themselves.
You working city fellows, suppose
for moment that the farmers adopt
ed the eight hour dav. 1t would cut
down production at least half. Sup
pose they also set price on their la
Dor and their products based on an
eight hour basic scale. Where would
you get your food? Only the rich
could buy it at all, for the price
would be prohibitive to men on strike.

MISSOURTS HEALTH PROGRAM
BASED ON PREVENTION

tuberculosis kills 10000 people a
year. More people die from it annu-
ally than have been killed in all our
wars. And yet tuberculosis is pre-
ventable and durable
There are two ways to prevent it.
Each case can be sought out and
treated or the people can be taught
how to build up resistance so they will
be able to Withstand the attack Of the
disease. We can begin with the sick
or with the well. We can begin with
the grown-up or the child. Fresh air,
good food, rest-these are the nedi-
cines that cure tuberculosis. First of
all, we must furnish means whereby
the sick may know their disease. This
means clinics and dispensaries. Then,
we must be able to offer fresh air,
food and rest. This means sanatoria.
In some States almost every county
has dispensary and a sanatorium.
These States are making Roadway
against the disease. In Missouri the
limited funds available under our pres
ent system of taxation (which cannot
be changed until we have constitu-
tional conveption) make it impossible
for us to build and maintain county
sanatoria. ImG.
There remains, therefore, the sec
opd choice. We can tell the people
'hd@ to care for themselves. We can
show them how to build up resistance.
We can reach the children, teach them
proper health habits, see that they
have the proper recreation and plen-
.ty of fresh cir, so that they may build
up resistance thatsmakes them immune
to this disease. *

Happy Jack Squirrel Moves
BY Thornton w. Brueess,

Happy Jack Squirrel was moving. It
wasn't that he wanted to move. Good
ness, no! Moving Is bad enough at
any season. but to have to do it right
in the middle of the harvest season Is
enough to drive almost any right-mind-

Happy Jack is nothing IL not thrifty.
But he just had to do it because, as he
explained to Peter Rabbit, if he didn't

Jack, II believe in thrift"
Peter wriggled his wobbly little nose
a bit scornfully. "If l don't know it
it isn't because haven't had it ever
lastingly preached to me-" said he.
Happy Jack took no notice of
Peters scorn. Eyes, sir. believe in
thrift" he continued. 1.-THE truly

it over, Peter. So it was because |

Peter?"
Peter Rabbit scratched one long ear

and looked puzzled. II don't know
what you're talking about. but II you
say it's so guess so it is" said he.
"Of course 1t is" retorted Happy
Jack. "You know I've been living in
the attic Of that house over there" He
pointed to house Peter could Just
see through the trees.
Peter looked at the house, then
looked at Happy Jack. you may. be
able to stuff lot down me. but you
can't make me swallow that house"
said he.

1t isn't SAFE and safety is the first law

Again Peter nodded, and Happy
Jack continued Zone night was
awakened by some one in the attic.
1t was boy and he was looking for
something with light31 match. 1t
burned close to his fingers and then
he dropped it. 1t fell on a piece OF
old paper and 1t blazed right up. That
boy was quick. I'll say that much for
him. He stamped hat fire out quick
er than a wink. Then he went off
down stairs. ..s

that is going to happen some day.

Happy Jack scampered away in the
direction Of the house where he had
been living and where the thriftless.

turned towards the dear old briar
patch. TT certainly is funny" said he
to himself as he hoped along. how
thriftless some people are and don't
know it, and what lot of different
kinds of thriftlessness there are"

To do this means nurses, dispensar-
les, examiners, supervisors of play,
and Health Crusades in all the schools,
Supervisors and field secretaries must
be given health training. All this
takes money. There is but one State
health agency in Missouri to undertake
this work, namely, The Missouri Tu-
berculosis Association. This associa-
tion is financed by the sale of Red
Cross Christmas Seals. This Deem
Der 35,0O0,OOO Of these seals will be
offered to Missourians. They sell for
a penny each and the proceeds will go
to putting on big constructive health
education program for stamping out
tuberculosis.
By taking care of herself, Missouri
thus does her part in the nationwide
campaign that looks to wiping out this
scouPge upon our nation.
