Babe Ruth, the home run
king, and the hardest hitting
baseball player in the game to-
day, became a stock holder in
the United States Government
recently, when, in the presence
of thousands of admiring fans
he was presented with six 500
United States Treasury Saw
ings Certificates.
Babe Picks Winners
The presentation was made the last
game of the season in Boston between
the Chicago White Sox and the Bos-
ton Red Sox
A special Babe Ruth Day" was
held at Fenway Park and the certif-
Gates were presented between the
games of double header. They
were the gift of the Pere Marquette
Council, Knights of Columbus, South
Boston.
In becoming stock holder in the
United States Government, Babe Ruth
becomes a brother stock holder with
Jack Dempsey, the pugilistic cham
pion who recently invested $1,000 in
these securities, The cash value of
the six Treasury Savings Certificates
when presented to Babe Ruth was
1904. In 1924 at maturity they will
be worth 5000.
Babe Ruth is a strong believer in
investing his money in safe securities
such as Treasury Savings Certificates
and War Savings Stamps. He has
no leanings toward the "get-rich,

Space Is Limited,

The actual selection of the breed
should not be difficult matter when
one considers that more depends upon
the way fowls are managed than upon
the breed itself. Pure-bred fowls of
the general-purpose or egg type pur-
chased for reasonable figure are well
suited for backyard poultry plants
However, when pure-bred fowls can
rot be obtained, grades properly cared
for and fed will usually produce suf-
ficient eggs and meat for the table
of the average family.

OBITUARY.

The many friends of Mrs. Myra Dix of
this town. widow OF Cap Charles B.
Dix, were gfieyed to learn OF her recent
death. She had been in failing health
some time, though confined to her bed
but few weeks.
Mrs, Dix was born in this town, though
for about thirty-five years of her life she

sided here with her sister, Mrs. Hannah

She leaves one sister, Mrs. Holden, one

Mrs. Dix was a woman OF mere than

panied her husband ON many sea voy-
ages, and was greatly interested in the

gagged in the building of the Roosevelt,
Tor Capt. Peary, for his North Pole expe-

CARE OF BACK YARD POULTRY
Phase OF Home Production That
Should Be Considered by Those
Desiring Eggs and Meat.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The keeping of fowls on a town lot
or in the back yard is phase of home
production that should be considered
by all who desire to supply the table
with eggs and meat at cost consid-
erably below the usual market price.
Ordinarily. the keeping of from u to
% hens is sufficient to provide the
average family with eggs and meat.
For flock of % hens a space of from
70 TO 80 square feet per bird should
be allowed, and the yard so divided
as to permit them to be alternated
from one yard to the other Thus, a
lot Of % by 80 feet, which is even
smaller than the average town lot.
should be the minimum space for a
flock of this size. BY having the
yard divided cover crops, such as
wheat, oats, rape, or rye, can be
growing in the unused yard and
when sufficiently grown the fowls be
allowed to pasture it.
For yard % by 80 feet, or $50
square feet in size, the above-men-
toned grains may be sOwn in the fol-
lowing amounts: Wheat. 21s pounds
oats, IL pounds; rye, 3A pounds;
rape, Pa ounces. When available,
lawn clippings make excellent green
feed for fowls.
In this way the contamination of
the soil and the possibility of disease
are reduced TO minimum, and at

AVOID SOUR OR MUsTY FOOD
Severe Losses viii Result From Use
of Poor Feed During Hot Days
of Summer.

During hot weather sour or musty
food is more apt TO be used for poul-
try feed than in the winter. Severe
losses will result from the use Of
poor feed, so ii pays to know the
exact condition of the grain in the
bins which may have been there for
long time. Never allow portions
of the mash to remain In the troughs
on hot days as it may become con-
taminated with tirt and then be eaten
by the young stock.

Mexican Anti-Government Leader
Sends Last Thoughts to His
Family in U. S.

Vera Cruz, Mex, April 22.-Gen.
Francisco Alvarez of the anti-gov-
eminent forces was executed at IL:
80 o'clock this morning. He met
death at the hands of a firing squad
with the utmost bravery.
Gen. Alvarez was sentenced to
death by courtmartial here last
Monday. He was captured here last
Tuesday in the battle in which Gen.
Banquet, minister of war in the
Huerta cabinet was killed.
Many thousands of persons sur
rounded the barracks when the exc
cution took place.
Alvarez had been sentenced to die
at an earlier hour, but on orders re-
ceived from the supreme court, the
execution was held up. The war de-
partment, however, ordered compli-
ance with the sentence of the court
martial and the prisoner was brought
out to face his executioners. Two
hours before the execution the cor
respondent of the Associated Press
visited Alvarez in his cell. He was
absolutely calm and evinced no fear
and declared he was prepared to die.
II consider the sentence of the mil
itary court illegal" said Alvarez, "as
| ceased to be soldier when the fed
eral army disbanded and l left the
country. If am shot it will be lille
gal. If l am still soldier the courts
sentence would be legal.

tied me in prison and their kind
words have helped me to face death

ions of the federal army, however,
have come to see me-"
Alvarez requested the correspon-
dent to advise his family in New
Orleans that his last thoughts were
Of them and that he had left letters
