a definite amount of work along the
particular lines in which they en-
rolled.
The results secured thru the eff

Potato Beetles Rode "Blind Bag

Potato Beetles Rode Blind Bag
gage
Idaho has kept practically clear
of the Colorado potato beetle, yet
car Of potatoes from Idaho Falls
reached Los Angeles infested with
the beetle. The California author
tiles notified the Idaho authorities,
who presented the imputation that
potato beetles had come out of Idaho.
An Investigation by Frederick
Maskew, state quarantine officer of
California and a collaboration of the
U. S. department of agriculture, dis
closed these facts: The car pre-
viously had been loaded with pota-
toes in Colorado, the home of the
beetle. The potatoes were delivered
in Oklahoma. The car went as an
empty to Kansas City, then was
routed to Granger, Wyo., then to
Idaho Falls, where it was again
loaded with potatoes and sent to
Los Angeles. The potato beetles
evidently remained in the car during
the entire movement and infested
the second loading of potatoes. This
is regarded as an illustration of how
railway cars used for hauling vege-
tables, fruit and other plant products
are the means of distributing noxious
insects; and the U S. department of
agriculture is taking steps to require
the cleaning of all such cars at the
point of unloading.

Fighting Blackleg in Idaho

Fifteen demonstrations of how to
prepare and administer blackleg
vaccine were conducted by the farm
bureau of Ada county during the past
year. At these demonstrations
1857 calves were vaccinated. Vac
cine was furnished free to all who
attended the demonstration, and
5000 calves were vaccinated twice
during the year. Only five deaths
due to blackleg were reported for
1918, in comparison with 200 before
the blackleg work started.
Blackleg, or black quarter, is a
rapidly fatal, infectious disease Of
young cattle especially between the
ages of six months and two years.
Sheep and goats are also known to
contract the disease, but man, horses,
hogs and fowls appear to be immune.
The disease is caused by a germ
which also possesses the power of
forming within itself a spore which
is resistant to destructive agents for
a considerable time. From expert
ments actually performed, it Is be-
lieved that cattle contract the disease
thru slight wounds, principally OF the
skin, caused by barbed wire, stub
bles, thorns, etc., and very rarely OF
the mouth, tongue and throat,
Symptoms show up from one to
three days after the infection has
taken place, with loss of appetite,
dullness and high fever. The
most important characteristic OF this
disease is the appearance OF a tumor
or swelling. under the skin, few
hours after the above symptoms set
in, The tumor may be on the thighs,
(which gives the name blackleg or
black Quarter), the neck, the
shoulder, the breast, the tanks or
the rump. When the tumor Is
stroked or handled, peculiar
cracking sound is heard under the
skin. ..
Prevention by vaccination is the
only effective solution. The I'M

KID GLEASON
new SOX PILOT

CHICAGO. Jan. 1.-Charlcs \. Com
iskey, owner of the Chicago club or
the American league, surprised the
baseball world last night with tho an
nouncement that William +. tkid)l
Gleason. Il famous old-time player, had
been appointed manager of the club,
succeeding Clarence II. Rowland, who
piloted the White SoX to n worlds
championship in 1917. Gleason, who IS
So years old, was n star player for 20
years, and from 1912 to 1917 was con-
nected with the White S0X as coach
and assistant manager. For some un-
explained roason he was not associated
with the club last season.
The new manager started his base
ball career in 1887 as n pitcher with the
Scranton, Pa. club and later developed
into a star second baseman. He was
u member OF the famous Baltimore
Orioles from 1896 to 1900. He finished
his career as a player with he Phila-
delphia Nationals in 1907,
While President Comiskcy declined to
give his reasons for The change. 1t is
understood that he felt that Rowland
had lost his hold over the players.
Rowland has understood his position
for some time past, and any discussion
on that point is q matter that must
come from him. said President Comis-
key in "A formal statement, 81 have
nothing but the best wishes for him,
and hope that his future efforts VIII

Taking it for granted that the charge
is true-and it is not wholly unjustifi-
able in some instanCes-these young

been sapping the life blood of baseball
in this as well as other leagues.

to win. and they will not be getting
enough money to make them mercen-

fighting, sCrapping baseball that is
played on the backlots, where the sole
object is to win and where nothing Is
left undone to come away with the de-

SPEAKING OF KAYoS.

1t has always been known that If 8.
man is hit in the right place he'll fall.
Dempsey has been working along this
line all along, and when he visited
Memphis some time ago he said he
had studied it all out from a scientific
viewpoint and the reason for all Of his
knockouts was that he knew where to
hit his opponents.
A California doctor named Apple,
wha has made a study of knockouts,
contributes this information, show
ing why a wallop produces sleep:
There is no immunity from a knock
out blow. Any man, when hit in the
permit the referee to count him out"
said DR.. Apple.
"A blow on the point of the lower
jaw is the favorite knockout punch.
The result does not come altogether
from q jarring of the nerves, as many
believe. 8
when the lower jaw is hit hard
enough it shoots back. 1t comes in con-
tact with the juglar vein, The flow of
blood is temporarily stopped. The blood
rushes back to the brain and temporary
congestion ensues, This renders a man
insensible for a time. Until the blood
flow readjusts itself one is practically
out of existence.
1.-THE man with the physique Of a
Dempsey or a Willard (who was a mar
velous piece of athletic machinery at
the time he won the title from Jack
Johnson), does not apparently succumb
to this knockout blow. This is not be-
cause either nan can not be knocked
out.
1.-THE truth of the matter is that men
of their prodiEious strength are able to
resist the ordinary blow. If they are
ever hit hard enough the dazed effect
will follow"

Pal Moore. the crack little bantam,

Pete Herman over the 20-round route,
and he won't be happy until he gets
him.
Pal is beyond any question Of a doubt
the peer Of any bantamweight in this
or any other country. He has a record
Of victories second to nobody in fis-
tiana.
Pal says he is willing to meet Her
man anywhere, any time and under any
circumstances He knows he can win,
and believes that as he is the real ban-
tam champion, he should be given a
chance to win the crown to which he is
unQuestionably entitled already.
Tommy Walsh, Pals manager, is get
ting a line IN Herman. and Is going to
make a strong and pronounced effort
to lure the champ into the same ring
with Moore. Herman will either have
to fight Moore or admit that he doesn't
relish any of Pals game, which he has
already virtually done by sidestepping
all proposals to don the mitts with the
legitimate bantam king.
