The Italian Farmer.

The italian farmer is evidently moth
ing if not willing to experiment No
fewer than three classes of collective
farms are in successful operation in
the country. In one class a co-opera-
tive society of farmers acts as landlord
for the individual members, each OF
whom tills his own farm Independently
of the others. Under the second plan
the cooperative society holds the
land, decides from year to year how it
is to be divided and cultivated, and
appoints each member to his part in
the program of cultivation. The third
plan is more complicated: the CO.
operative society rents a. large farm
which is worked by permanent staff
of members receiving a salary for their
services, and by other members who
divide their time between work on the
cooperative farm and on privately
owned farms. All three forms of CO.
operation are highly successful accord
Ing to recent accounts. They have this
point in common, the elimination of
middlemen between farmer and con.
sumner.

WINNING HURLER Is

So Declares John McGraW, Man.

Hugo Bezdek, Leader Of Pirates, De-
cIares Club Must Have More Than
One Winning Pitcher-Prob-
lem Open for Discussion.

Baseball managers do not lamp
the possibilities Of a ball club in the
same manner. At the January pow
WOW in New York, some of the major
league pilots were discussing pennants
and pennant chances. John McGraw
of New York started live discussion
when he declared one winning pitcher
can make flag contender out, of an
otherwise mediocre club. McGraw's
views were shared by some of the lead
ers, but Hugo Bezdek of the Pittsburgh
Pirates does not accept the McGraw
dogma.
McGraw pointed to the success OF
the Giants when he had none other
than Matthewson to depend upon for
mound duty. He also recalled the

| LET WHISTLERS BE WARNED
New York Newspaper Is Emphatic
in Its Declaration of Uncom-
promising Hostility.

Reader, have you ever been made
frantic and exasperated beyond meas
ure by some man whistling in your
neighborhood? Did you ever sit in a
tram car and hear one Of these
nuisances blow noises out through
puckered lips? If you have, you can
well sympathize with the unidentified
person who listened to Moses Cohen
whistle in a local motion-picture thea
ter and arose and slew him on the
spot. We regret the killing; it was
uncalled for; unlawful; dreadful; not
to be tolerated. Law sleuths are ON
the track Of the killer, and, of course,
as upholders Of law, with almost puri-
tanical vehemence we hope he will be
caught. And yet persons
should not whistle in cinema theaters,
or in tram cars, or in the streets, or
in shops, or in newspaper offices, or
any other place on the face of the
green earth where they can be heard.
We have spoken.--New York Evening

Thin PEOPLE
SHOULD take
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Btro-Phosphats
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Vigor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose of making
thin people fleshy, developing arms, neck
and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are often due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro-phosphate, which Is mex
pensive and Is sold by most all druggists
under a guarantee OF satisfaction or money
back. BY feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the nee
essary phosphorlc food elements, kitro-
phosphate should produce a welcome
transformation in the appearance; the in-
crease in weight frequently being aston
fishing.
Increase in weight also carries with it
E, general Improvement in the health:
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack OF
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, should disappear, dull
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION: - Although phosphate
Is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleeplessness and general weakness, 1t
should not, owing to it's tendency to In
crease weight, be used by anyone who
does not desire to put on flesh.

When you are in a little group OF

Made Jennings Laugh,
"It was way back in 1915 when De-
troit was training in Augusta, Ga, and
the captain was a regular busher. Ty
attracted little attention, for he was
terrible fielder and tried to run
through the fence in every game.
Hughie Jennings used to laugh every
time Cobb ran out on the field, for
there was nothing about him that even
suggested a future star. His hitting
was OF the bush league variety, and
when an outfielder can't hit it's time
to forget all about him.
"Detr6<t had a chance that year to
get Cobb f6r nothing, for the Augusta
CLUB had made a deal with Jennings
whereby he would have the privilege of
selecting any player on the team If his
ball club did Its spring training In
Augusta. To show what hit Cobb
made, Clyde Engle, the infielder, was
chosen and Tyrus the Great allowed TO

Bezdek declared q ball club must

his argument with the story Of Will

season. Cooper lost nearly all of his
games by one run simply because the

reasonable, too.

signed by Detroit.

A shattered church in the Marine sa-
lient during the latter part of July: 1t
was filled with freshly-wounded on
stretcbers. The shells were whining
over and bursting about it. A slim.
big-eyed, very boyish boy was brought
in all shot to pieces. He was very
ordinary American boy, certainly not
more than eighteen. A medical ma

young fellow had less than half an
hour of life left in him.

slowly. you're in a pretty bad way,

The boy-who was very ordinary

truth under the thin camoufage of
kindness.
He knew he was dead. He caught
his breath quickly, closed his eyes,
and, reaching up, caught hold of the
majors hand and held 1t tight for
little time.
Then he sighed, opened his eyes, and
folded his arms contentedly on his
breast. He looked up at the. major,
and there was the calm light of glad
resignation on his face.
