MITCHELL
REFUSES TO
GET EXCITED
BY JACK vEIoCK
Ct. ", Service Sport Editorl

NEW YORK. July 19.-The champion
Cubs have not given up hope OF repeat
ing They are going TO give the Giants
and Reds a battle 70 the finish for the
pcnnant, according to Fred Mitchell. their
two-fsted manager.
Their race Is tight as a drum and
the season Is only half over" said
Mitchell today. AS far as I can see
its anybody's pennant and I am confi-
dent that the Cubs may be heard from.
We're due 10 make strong finish We
have lot OF games TO play ar home
and we Will finish on our own grounds
II It hadn't been for Charley Hol-
locher's broken thumb we would have
done much better 70 date. Hollocher
was out OF the game for a month and
attribute the loss Of a good many
games TO his absence from the lineup
Killlfer's injury and absence from the
game hurt US too. but both players are
back now and we have our full strength.
George Tyler IS the only member Of
the pitching stan who is not going
good now. Alexander looked mighty
good in Boston the other day and 1
think he'll win many a game from now
on. Prior to last week he wasn't right.
He hurt his arm in the last game of
the New York series at Chicago
II can't account for the fact the Cubs
aren't hitting as well as they did last
year. You never can explain those
things. Deal. for instance. the
weakest hitter We had last season This
year he is hittig harder than anybody.
Our club isn't as strong as the
Giants and Reds with the bats but we
have superior pitching and l think this
Will be demonstrated from now on
Michel added that the Giants have
been the hardest club for the Cubs to
beat. In fact Chicago has won only
one game from New York this season.
while the Giants have beaten the Cubs
eight times. Against the Reds Mitchells
club has held its own. winning six and
losing six games against Cincinnati.
We're due to pick up" concluded
Mitchell. The players are full of night

0N---NOT AROUND.
TENNESSEE FARMER FINDS OUT
WHY BIRDS AND SQUIRRELS
NEVER GET A VACATION.

A professor was visiting prosper
GUS Tennessee farmer a short time
ago. They had just enjoyed one OF
those dinners for which Tennessee is
famous and were having a smoke,
when the professor spoke up,
See that little fellow" said the pro-
lessor, pointing to sparrow on top
Of the. horse rack. The bird was tus-
ging at long hair caught there from
Betsy's tail.
Thrifty little builder" answered
the farmer.
"She scertainly works out fine in.
terror finish with that hair" the pro-
lessor agreed, "but am wondering
about her thrift"
The farmer didn't answer, bat con.
tnued with his own idea "a little
later the squirrels will begin at dawn
and work all day putting away their
winter food-th are real examples
to folks
That's true as far as they CO." said
the professor, "But that sparrow over
there will work just as hard to build
4 nest next year. II he were really
thrifty he would put a rain-proof over
his nest, and next year he would be
building houses to rent. But he never
gets ahead. He would be doing the
same thing hundred years from now
II he lived that long.
"Tt's the same with the squirrel
works all summer putting away more
than he needs. The nuts rot, and he
starts all over again next summer.
II we had copied the squirrel, we'd
still be cave-dwellers."
But / raise wheat crop every
summer" broke in the farmer
"What do you do with it?" the pro
lessor asks.

II grind up years supply of flour,
put away enough to sow again and sell
the rest"
"And what becomes of the money!"
pursued the professor. He knew there
was not better farm in the state than
this one nor more prosperous farmer.
Some of my wheat money runs the
family, some Of it is put by for up-keep
and new machinery, and good part
always goes into safe investments for
Ma and me. For two years | put it in

the professor was chuckling. "You

purebred draft stations with style
and quality and weight on our thorc-
bred and trotting-bred mares.
Weight is the prime requisite of
the mule market today. Every pound
that mule weighs above 1000 is
worth Is to 40 cents a poand. The
only way to get this weight is by the
infusion of draft blood.
AT present the greater portion of
our number of horses will class as
medium to good drivers or as
'Southerners,' the market for either
of which is not sufficient to warrant
their production. The greater num-
ber of our mules fall into classes be-
low log hands high, and sell at pres
ent, for less than production costs

The unrest of humanity and
the uncertainty Of a settled con-
dition of business brings before
officials and congress a most seri-
GUS question. Everything is in
flated in values and everyone is
grasping for more and more
money or property. There must
be a halt sometime. Is not now
the time? Congress must pass
war measures to meet serious
peace condition The strong arm
of the government must be in
voked in order to prevent the
boarding of feedstuffs and the
exhorbitant profteering OF retail
dealers. Prices must come down
ON everything at the same time.
The farmer must be willing to
take less for his products, the
manufacturer must come down
on his products and the middle
man must come down on his
profits. 1t is not expected that
everything or anything will come
down to prices of number of
years ago. The law of supply
and demand will rule, but in
legitimate way. Speculation must
cease. The arm Of the law will
compel to respect this law of
legitimate demand, and not by
illegal holding for lessening the.
supply and thereby increasing
the demand and enhancing prices.
Il is a serious and deep condition
to unravel, but it can and must
be done, and that at once.

The Great Revival.

Rev. Calhoun closed on schedule
time his ten-day meeting. Wednesday
night. The results have been fruit
full in conversions, reclamations and
addition of outlying members to some-
thing like 35. He did able preach
ing along church scriptural lines. The
attendance has been large. Many
members from. that church in neigh
boring congregations being present.
The largest number of converts were
young people Of that persuasion and
members of the Sunday school. His
preaching will do much good in
strengthening the church here.

Heavy Draft Animals Scarce.

The country is facing an annual
shortage Of 100000 colts for heavy
work. This is the result of the war
taking many heavy animals out of the
country. and the fact that many
breeders have thought that tractors
would diminish the demand for heavy
farm animals.
There is to question that the de-
mand for heavy animals will be great
within the next few years." states R.
M. Murphy, specialist in live stock,
division of extension, University of
Tennessee. THE war has drained the
country of the supply Of good work
stock. Tractors have not, decreased
the demand for this type of animals.
Investigations in the use of tractors
Oh 252 farms show that an average
Of only | 2 horses for each farm have
been displaced by them.
MANY breeders during the last
four years have not bred their big
brood mares. For this reason the
annual crop of yearling colts has been
decreased 100000. Effects Of this
will begin to be felt next year when
the normal supply of young animals
fails to appear on the market.
''In order to arouse more interest
in the production of heavier mares,
looking towards the increased produc-
tion of heavier mules, the West Ten
nessee Experiment Station at Jack
son is going to offer for sale to the
highest bidder number of the young
Percheron stations produced there
The sale will take place Wednesday
afternoon, Sept. Sd, during the West
Tennessee Farmers Convention. In.
cluded in the station stud are mares
of the very best breeding and individ-
uality. They have been selected of a
type particularly adapted to Southern
conditions.
These mares have taken the place
of the big mules formerly used at the
station farm and are doing the farm
work satisfactorily in addition to rails
ing an 80 per cent. colt crop each
year.
Every farm Of average size should
have at least one pair of heavy brood
mares They will do enough work to
pay for their keep and raise a good
pair of mule colts each year as clear
profit.
1T is not practicable to try to buy
satisfactory mares of this type. The
greater number Of those ON the mar
ket are those which have proved to
be barren, have failed to produce good
colts, or have some other defect.
The most satisfactory brood mare
for raising mules is not a straight
draft bred animal, but a cross from a
draft stallion on our good thorough
bred and trotting bred mares. They
give their colts much more finish and
snap, while the draft cross increases
their weight.
The only way to secure practical
mule mares is by the use Of good,

The rains have ceased and we are

good and everyone seems to be cheer
full over the outcome. The farmers
