Contest Suspension of Mays.

New York, Aug. Owners of the

This was intimated by Col. Jacob

Contending that Johnson could not
have escaped knowing negotiations for
the purchase were under way, it was
declared that he should have imposed
the suspension some time ago. Inc

The local club opens a critical series
today with the Detroit Tigers who
have been advancing thru good pitch
ing and hitting. The Yanks need good
pitching If they are to recover while
meeting the strong westerners, and
the season is so near a close that un-
less they stage their comeback at once,
It is very likely they will be unable to
stage It at all.
The weakened condition of the hurl-
ing corps was well shown yesterday
when the White SoX batted Erne

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Lice on hogs can be controlled In va.
rious ways, but complete eradication Is
best secured by the use Of dipping
watts, experiments conducted by the
United States department Of agricul-
ture show.
Medicated hog wallows and rubbing
posts, the experiments showed, kept
the number Of parasites reduced so
that they caused little or no damage,
but neither Of these methods destroyed
all the lice. Crude petroleum was
used on the rubbing posts and the wal
lows were medicated with coal.tar creo-
sote dips, pine tar, crude petroleum,
and bland oils. Crude petroleum and
coal-tar creOsote dips proved to be
more effective when applied from an
ordinary sprinkling can than when
used In wallows or on rubbing posts.

| Of large sities-a congestion that has
increased during the past several
years, and that, if it continues, will
tend to run up the cost Of living.
Those are q few Of the main reasons
why, from the standpoint Of self-inter.
est, the city automobile owner should
vote for road-bond issues.
Good Roads as Military Measure.
From the standpoint Of duty, the
military element probably takes first
place. When it became necessary two
years ago to concentrate great num-
bers Of men in environments, 1t was
found that the roadways connecting
the environments with the surrounding
cities were in no sense adequate. For
the most part new roads had to be
constructed. There is always the pos
sibility Of another such emergency,
and the only means of insuring facile
communication is by the construction
Of surfaced roads over which motor
trucks can operate.
While the security Of the nation In
such an emergency might depend upon
good roads for military uses, their serv-
Ice to the nation would not be con-
fined to military matters. For a great
portion Of the time during the past two
years 80 per CEN Of the railroad ca
pacity Of the country "a required for
military purposes. The transportation
Of food, fuel and the like had to- be
accomplished largely by means other
than rail. Some hardships were en-
tailed. The mOtortruck, however, over
such roads as were passable, rendered
excellent service. When the present
road-b Hiding program is carried out
and the total Of improved roads is
several times larger than at present,
the service possibilities of the motor
truck will be correspondingly In
creased and the safety of the nation
and the comfort of the people more
fully insured.

would probably have had a newspaper

FAIRY TALE ii
PINKY'S
6y nary Graham Bonner

Pinky was feeling quite warm in the
sunshine, as it was really the first
warm day of the season. And the
first warm day of the season always
seems very, very warm as we all
know. Pinky and Glover were two
nice rabbits.
Now Glover had a special place to
lie in when the SUI IA hot and that
special place was at the side Of her
little home where there was some
shade.
She used TO lie there stretched out.
Her eyes would gradually close and
many a nap would she take there.
Pinky had gotten up to- look at
something which he thought he could
see if he jumped to the top Of his
home, and then Glover had followed
him, for she wanted TO see whatever
he could see.
Clover decided that the top Of the
house would be a nice place for her
to rest, though she first tried the top
OF another smaller house which they
he'd, too, and which their little master
had built for them.
SO Glover stayed on top, but it was
too warm here for Pinky. He jumped
down and went in the Orner where
Clover always stayed.
He had a fine little nap there and
soon after he had jumped down he
was dreaming of castles made Of car
rots and turrets and towers made Of
lettuce and of great cOurtyards with
clover growing everywhere.
The dreams he had were really ex-
tremely nice, extremely. But after
awhile Glover was too warm OF top
OF the house and she decided to come
down. SO she jumped down and was
about to lie down next to Pinky when
Pinky jumped up from his place, quite
wide awake.
"Oh," said Glover, 81 I'm sorry to
have disturbed your sleep"
"It's all right" said Pinky. And to
show that he meant it was all right he

Revelations of situation in the
Third Naval District, with headquar-

dred scenes, required a cast of three
hundred players, and is composed of
five beautiful parts.
Almost everyone is familiar with
the story of "The Virginian," his
quick temper, his magnificent per-
sonality, and his power to make
friends; his ardent worship for Molly,
the little school teacher, and his de-
votion to duty, when he is compelled
to hang his best friend, Steve. The
reissue by Paramount of this ex-
cellent picture is most compelling.
"The Virginian" in book form
was most interesting; in play form
it was one of the sensations Of its
period, but as photoplay, it surpass-
es in every detail, both the book and
the stage production, and is one Of
the most thrilling photoplays seen
here in many months.
The cast of the "Virginian" was
especially selected by Cecil B. De-
Mile, the director general Of the
Lasky forces, and contains many
faces pleasantly remembered in later
photoplays whcih achieved popularity
and fame.
