all of these men are away from their
work causing trouble they are not
producing. They go on eating and
living but they are not giving any
thin gto their country In return. Now
right here is where the things Her
man Schwartz said come in. Men
who know more about the condition
of things in Europe and especially
in Germany than myself, say that
within ten years Germany will be on
the same business basis she was be-
fore the war. That means she is
working very hard because the coun-
try was torn to pieces after the years
of fighting. She has great quqanti-
ties OF manufactured goods stored
away and the plants where things to
sell are made were pplanned 80 that
they could start them going just as
soon as peace came. All OF the Ger
man wcrlsers, the laborers and me-
chanics are without being told, work
ing at least ten hours every day when
most of ours are not working more
than eight hours and many OF them
less Our men are striking for short
er hours and more money right at
I time when the only thing that will
ave the country is for everybody to
forget their selfish interests and
owrk hard and produce in large
quantities.

Buck Weaver, the lengthy Pelican
pitcher, has severed diplomatic rela-
tons with the Memphis weather man.
Buck has a real grievance and several
notes will ave to be exchanged before
the Pei moundman gets in a good humor
with the Memphis weather artist.
On last Saturday afternoon Buck was
nominated to pitch against the Chicks
by Manager Dobbs. Buck got started
well, his mates giving him a three-run
lead. But the weather man got busy
before the fifth inning was reached and
turned on so much leakage that the
game had to be called off. Hard luck

Monday afternoon Buck tried IL again

two run in the first inning, while Buck
was pitching fire ball. But to the res
cue of the Chicks came the weather
man, who flooded the diamond and
made the Chick yard resemble a mud
pie kitchen.
So Buck had to give 1t up again. He
says he's offa the Memphis weather
man for life.
