Langley Lauds Midwest
Tourney and Its Officials
Bowling Leagues All Over Country Preparing for
Tournaments Which Will Hold Boards in Next
Six Weeks; High Rollers Must Get Quick Action
to Get in Shape for Competition.

I has about 20 leagues sanctioned at
this early date, as has Indianapolis,
which is another great city for or
ganization, with some great bowlers
in Mccullough, Cray, Pfitchett,
Meyer, Goodwin, Penchy and Others,
who always scare the high score
holders at big tournaments when
they appear en- the alleys to take
their turn at the prize list.
The city league of Oshkosh,
where the famous Athearn team of
international fame is working, is one
of the good leagues in Wisconsin
and has a sanction to protest their
games, as has the city league of
Madison, Wis, with the Schwoegler
Bros. former national champions,
who are still going good, although
they won their honors at Pittsburgh
in 1909.
Sixty Leagues in Milwaukee.
Milwaukee has over 90 leagues
sanctioned. and among the leagues
they have countless good bowlers
working, with Jimmy Smith, of
course, being the big attraction, and
Jimmy rs working along fine this
year, with a chance of having his
best year in bowling. He is bowling
in a sanctioned league, and is max
ing the wood hum and jump, so be-
fore the season is over he may turn
a 800 score, which will bring him a
gold medal from congress, which is
the aim of every bowler in the coun-
try.
Within week or two we will pub
fish the different cities that have
sanctioned leagues, and the number
in each city, SO that the bowlers of
the country will know just where
organized bowling is strong, and in
these cities you will invariably find
that where organization is strong
that the game of tenpins is boom
ing the greatest, so it is up to the
local pin knights and alley owners
in every community to see that
leagues are sanctioned, and that all
games are being bowled on alleys
as being certified as to measure
,nent, WHICH is real bowling insur-
ance for the rank and file, so their
scores will be protected.

MILK PRODUCTS

The dairy industry has for some
years been in an unsatisfactory con-
dition. Dairymen persist that they
are not getting q decent profit. At the
same time the consumers in the cities
pay . large price for milk. The diff;
Guilty is largely distribution. Too big
q proportion goes into transportation
and city delivery.
IL 4 hopeful to note that there Is
an increased use of various milk prod
nets. The average export Of con-
densed milk; for instance, used to be

fhess exports increased to 520, ,750, 900
pounds. This Is q fact full Of sug

HOW DOES YOUR
GARDEN GROW?

Mrs. Theodore Saxon In Topeka
Capital
Now is the time to hoe, and hoe
often. The more you hoe now, the
less you will need to hoe when the
long, hot days are with US. There are
several reasons why we hoe. HOeing
assists in liberating: plant food, mix
ing the damp soil and the dry top
soil, making it all loose, friable soil,
easily penetrated by the small root
lets hunting for food. HOeing the top
soil conserves the moisture under q
dust mulch; hoeing breaks and fills
cracks, and should follow as soon as
possible after a rain, before the sun
makes the ground hard. Constant hoe
ing at regular times adds to the sup
ply Of nitrogen. ,...
Hoeing is not hard work, If prop
erly done. Do not 60 at 1t like a
house afre, as If it depended on all
the energy you could bring to bear on
the offensive. It is not necessary to
bring the hoe three feet above the sur
face at every stroke. and strike with
all your might, swaying the body at
every stroke. Practice standing as erect
as possible, having your hoe clean and
sharp, raising the hoe as little as pos
sible, and changing the position Of the
hands on the hoe occasionally. Learn
to hoe with the left hand toward the
bottom of the handle, alternating with
the right, and you will be surprised to
learn how soon you can get over the
ground without fatigue. Clean your
hoe after every hOeing and keep blade
sharp. If hOeing is 'practiced" two
or three times a week, or after every
rain, the weeds will always be small,
the ground will always be mellow, and
hOeing will become a greater pleasure
than golf, and Of much more lasting
benefit. The women who learn to hoe
gracefully will always walk with
ease. Do not hoe until exhausted,
only until healthy tired. Girls and
young women working in the close of
fee all day will enjoy the touch Of old
mother earth and her health-giving
medicine. It is wonderful what treas
ures old mother eartA, holds hidden
in her soft velvety son as we feel it
slip through our fingers.
1--WE plant q seed,
A sacred pact We keep with sun and
sod:
With these we help refresh and feed
The world, and enter partnership
with God"

RED CROSS NOTICE
From Publicity Department South
western Division

An appeal to the American people
for funds TO carry on the work OF
their American Red Cross will be
made next November according to the
following statement issued today by
Doctor Livingston Farrand, Chairman
Of the Central Committee. "Appall-
ing conditions in countries Of Eastern
Europe, imposing on the American
Red Cross obligations additional to
those assumed during the period Of
the world war, and continuance Of ac-
tivities in connection with the already
outlined domestic program of the Am
erican Red Cross, make necessary an
appeal to the people Of America for
further funds to carry on work for the
relief Of humanity"
It has been decided to make this
appeal in Autumn in a period Of two
weeks eliminating the eleventh Of No
vember, the anniversary Of the sign
ing Of the armistice season when
the; American people may properly
give manifestation through contribu-
tions TO their American Red Cross OF
their thankfulness from deliverance
from the added horrors of war which
have fallen upon nations less FORUM
ate.
At present the American Red Cross
is bringing to close its activities in
countries in Western Europe and with
the withdrawal Of American troops
from the war zone, its work for the
Army abroad will end automatically.
Disease and suffering of the most
heart rendering character, however,
are calling for relief in other fields.
The new international Organization OF
Red Cross Societies is preparing to
deal with the relief Of health prob
lens throughout the world in future
years, but there are immediate emer-
Rencies which require the aid Of agen-
cIes already established. Foremost
amOnK these agencies is the American
Red Cross. At present the emergen-
cies are being met with all the re-
sources available, but it is apparent
that imperative calls for assistance
for the next year or more will make
additional funds necessary.
II Il anticipated that the generous
hearts Of the American people will re-
spond to the appeal to the full extent
of the needs that will present them
selves.
