ONE OF BAsEBALLs TRAGEDIES

From the Philadelphia Record.
Organized baseball is responsible for
another horror. The casual reader
glimpsng the report in the papers OF the
disturbance at the Philles ball park on
Tuesday, which resulted in the arrest of
nine beacherites, can have no idea of
the tragedy back of it. One must him
self have been a bleacherite at one time
or several times, to sense the horror of
it. The nine men who swarmed over
the bleacher fence upon the field were
not only locked up for the afternoon, but
their names were printed in the papers,
Perhaps their bosses read those names
yesterday and discovered the dereicton
of employees who were supposed either
to be at work or at least attending to
grandmother's funeral. There's the trag-
edy of it.

"They came home to us with the

was too difficult for their spirit, their
courage, or their ability.
"Their division is rated both by
friend and enemy as a premier division
of the United States army, the equal

world.
"Nor is evidence lacking of the fine
esprit de corps, the constant good

AS effective as the Alabama guard
has been in the past, it will be even
more efficient in the future. There is
reason to expect it to be the model

New National Guard


Under adverse conditions and with
stinted support, the national guard, as
sisted by able army instructors, has made
itself school of arms, competent to or
ganize and train citizen soldiers who have
met and overcome even the veteran
troops of Germany said William CORN
ley.
with the better understanding and
hearty cooperation of all citizens, the
guard becomes an apt and capable In
strument to organize and adequately
train such number of citizen soldiers as
the present or any future national policy
may determine necessary for national
safety and will accomplish this end with
out interruptng either their home life
or their civil vocation.
IAN appeal to the citizens of the state
is made to preserve and keep alive for
future generations all the virtues and
spirit of the citizen soldier trained ana
accustomed to arms as developed by the
world war. for even the wisest among
US cannot foresee the time when our
country will not need men ready at short
notice to spring to the national defense"

Solving House Problems

Birmingham is confronted with seri-
Gus situation relative to the renting prob
lem,' said Allison Bell of the Messer
Realty company. at is very hard indeed
to find homes for rent, and this may
influence some people from coming to the
city for their home. There is a great
demand by people to own their own
houses in view of the high rental prices
asked, and with the rapid development
of residential building here the city
should be in better position to take
care Of any increase in population. Many
people have converted their homes into
apartments for light housekeeping and in
this way the problem has been lessened
somewhat"

THE GREATEST AMERICAN

Touching the illness of the Presi-

itself in this manner
/. Those who believe the President
is dangerously i'll.
2. Those who believe nothing of the
kind-at least are too loyal to Mr..
Wilson to admit such fears, but who
secretly are little bewildered.
8. Those who believe he is very Ill
and are anxious to prove it; his enc

a. Those who expect with all conf
dence that he will be back at his type
writer soon, running the world and
spreading CONSERVATION among the
forces that oppose him.
Wise men at Washington, varying
ever so much in their attitude toward
the sick man, are undoubtedly wor-
RED There is some grim casting
about for precedents, legal grounds,
constitutional provisions. A solution
of possible problems is tentatively
sought thought about in some fear
some way.
The necessary withdrawal of the
President from affairs at this time
would mean tremendous things to the
world, which still looks TO him for such
inspiration as is possible in a planet
badly shot up. Long has it been known
abroad that if there be inspiration
anywhere, it is at Washington. Will

Use rising on a night of despair. His
death would remove faith from many
a simple heart, rob many a peasants
cottage of its hopefulness, let fear
percolate into the chencellories of the
old world.
Now, these things are true whether
or not the League Of Nations is as
sassinated by our Senate. If the
League lives, Wilson's place in his
tory and the heart Of mankind will be
magnified. If it fails, he at least will
survive, his idealism will live long in
the hearts of men, his personality will
be looked up to, and backward to, as
time passes. Wilson, the man, will
remain to the most of the world, THE

COMPARISON OF CONDITIONS
IN CHINA AND AMERICA

According to St. Louis paper, Mrs.
Carl NJ. Crow, of Shanghai, China,
was a visitor in that city last week.
Mrs. Crow is the wife Of Carl M.
Crow, who was reared in Farming
ton, and was smeared with printers
ink while working in this office years
ago. He afterwards got into the
"writing game, in which he exhibit
ed wonderful aptitude from the very
beginning, and held important posi-
lions on several metropolitan papers
throughout the country. He also
wrote a number of articles for the
Saturday Evening Post. When he was
called by the United States Govern.
ment as chief of the Bureau of Pub.
lie Information in Shanghai several
years ago he was known as one Of the
ablest writers in this country.
In an interview with Mrs. Grow
she is quoted as saying: .
"Of course the cost of imported ar,
ticles have increased in. China, but
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1919-10-24

Chinese products are only about 10
per cent higher"
Mrs. Grow, although she owns a
home in the United States, lives in
China because she can live better in
China on her income than she can in
the United States.
Mrs. Grow said she maintained an.
establishment in Shanghai which she
could not afford to keep in this coun-
, try. She has six servants, cook, a
helper, houseboy, a nurse, chauf--
fer and gardener, and the wages Of
| the six aggregate less than 500 a
month in American money.
any houseboy," she said, "gets $50
a month and on that he supports his
wife in comfort and even furnishes
her with servant to do her house
work. No women in China, except the
wives of coolies, ever do Homework.
"These workers are happy and con-
tented. They earn enough to pro
vide them with everything they need.
They wear better clothes than Ameri-
cans, Their costumes are of uni
versal type and China is noted for the
wonderful material it produces"
The cost of food, with few eXcep-
tions. she said, was lower than in
America. She said she could buy
| beefsteaks from is cents to 60 cents
| in American money. The same steaks
| in this country would cost from 30
cents to $1.20. She pays 3 cents q
J loaf for bread, as compared with 10
cents loaf here.
While St. Louisans pay 4 cents
each for laundering collars, Mrs.
! Crows laundryman charges her a
flat rate of cents for each article,
whether it is a handkerchief or a
sheet, and she says the laundrymen
of Shanghai are getting rich.
Rent, she said, was the only great
living expense in Shanghai. She pays
$3.50 month for a twelve-room house.
Land values are higher there than on
Broadway, New York. This is ex-
planned by the growth of the city and
the demand for buildings.
From $35 to $50 is the limit for
woman's suit there, while 500 to
$3.50 is not considered an unusually
high price here.
"American shoe dealers are dis
playing women's shoes in Shanghai
for which they are asking $40 to $25,"
said Mrs. Grow, "but | don't pay any
such price. | go to a Chinese shoe
maker and have him copy the Amer
ican-made shoe for about 81, and he
puts better leather into it."
