Tries to Get 0utfielder.

When Magee was taken sick Moran
wired every club In the league for an
outfielder, but none was forthcoming.
Not a club was willing to help him
because 1t was known he had a strong
team and that it was hard enough TO
beat 1t without giving him some help.
Moran dickered for Les Mann and Dode
Paskert, of the Cubs, but was unable to
secure them. He even tried to get
Mann from the Boston Braves after the
Cubs traded him TO Stallings with
Charlie Pick for Charlie Herzog, but
the Braves demanded too much in re-
turn and the deal was never consum-
mated.
There was nothing left for Manager
Moran to do but to select a man from
his team to fill Magee's shoes. He did
not have an ver-abundance of mate
rial and had to select a pitcher, Rube
Bressler, to play left field. Bressler, 1t
must be said, did capable work in the
field and also at the plate, but Moran
could not keep him there because he
needed him to bolster up his pitching
staff. which gave signs Of weakening
shortly after the middle OF the season,
SO he convinced President Hermann

Scout Mccain was sent out to get a
right handed hitting outfielder, one who
had the ability to slam the ball with
power and who also knew how to field,
Mccain was not asked TO consider
money, for the Reds were Wiling to pay
any price to get the right man, or
one who had some ability. The minor
leagues were secured thoroughly and
two men were unearthed, One was
Charley See, Of Rochester, and the 9TH
err was Pat Duncan. Of Birmingham,
Which one to select vas a toss-up, but
cations Hermann decided to purchase
both to protect the club, figuring that
II one did not make good the other
would, Hermann was not mistaken in
his judgment and for paying $40, 900 for
See and SIS, 900 for Duncan.
Duncan, the cheaper. man, made
good and Is the one who will play left
field for the Reds in the worlds series.
He has shown Manager Moran SO much
stuff in every department OF the game
hat he seems to be Il fixture In the
left field. He is only a recruit, but
has taken to his task with so much
enthusiasm that he has advanced with
rapidity and has proved an apt pupil
under Moran. Duncan has been seen
In action here and the fielding he did
against the Cubs impI essed the local
fans and convinced them that the Reds
will not be weak in left field unless
the youngster is bothered with stage
fright, but 1t Is not expected that he
will be judging from the way he has
taken up the major league work.
Duncan Proves to Be Star.
In the last series the Reds played
with the Cubs Duncan was not easily
fooled at the plate and famed only
once in the four games, He got two
hits off Sneed Martin, two bases on
balls Off Vaughn, a single off Carter
and one off Hendrix. Alexander was
the only one he failed to hit safely, but
even the Cub star did not strike him
out.
The youngster has confidence in his
own ability and crashes into the ball
with tremendous power. He does not
pull away at the plate and seems to
have the knack of hitting to right field
II necessary, II is probable that Dun.
can will be the star of the series. II
has happened that an unknown athlete
upset the dope with his exceptional
work and Moran's recruit seems to have
the nerve to shine.

LETTER TO PUBLIC

10 my friends and Fellow citizens
of Madison County:
You probably noticed in these
columns some times ago that / had ac-
cepted position with the Garrard
Tobacco Warehouse Co. of Lancaster,
KY, to sell tobacco there this next
season. did accept a position with
these people and fully intended to go
there at that time. However, I soon
realized that I had made mistake
by going into the tobacco business be-
cause 1 was getting just about all |
could do in real estate and farm sales
work, so l asked the gentlemen at
Lancaster, KY, to release me which
they were kind enough to do. So l
take this method of announcing to my
friends and the general public that l
have opened Offices in the Oldham
building and will do general real
estate and insurance business.
Having been closely associated with
some of the leading real estate firms
in Kentucky and having helped to
put through some of the biggest
propositions these firms have handled,
I feel that I am competent to handle
your business along this line.
I have also secured the agency for
two of the leading insurance COM
panies of America and having just
completed course of instruction with
the National Cooperative Realty Co.
of Washington, D. c., in. the real
estate, insurance and general broker
age business I feel that I can handle
your insurance business in an up-to-
date manner.

lieve I can win your business through
service, fair treatment and courtesy.

sale and sell on a commission or will
conduct your sale for you for fee.

but have made scientific studyo of it
just as your doctor or lawyer has his
profession and will soon receive my
diploma from the Missouri Auction

Holding a public sale is like unto a
wedding from the fact that you are
not supposed to have but one or tive
in life time so you should have il
done up right. & - y n
AAnd then d;stop and think lsfer>s a
moment, you and you1 good wife
have worked all these years and
gotten your things together and now
you are going to convert them into
cash in just one days time or prob
ably a few hours. Are you sure you
have man in charge who under
stands the sale business from end to
end?

MOMENTOUS DAY IN HISTORY
JuIlus Caesar Said to Have Landed In
Britain on Twenty-seventh Day
TN Of August.

According to calculations carefully
made and that, at the least, estab-
fish probable case, August 81 is the
anniversary Of the landing OF Julius
Caesar in the island of Britain.
In his wars that resulted In the con-
quest of Gaul, or modern France. Ju-
Illus Caesar kept a journal, In which
he recorded all his operations. He
called It, Commentaries" and 1T has
been pronounced to be perhaps the
best record Of campaigns ever writ
ten by a general in the field.
In the midst of these operations he
found time to cross the channel and
pay a military visit to the land known
now as England, but not so known
then. for the ancient Britons then in
habited the island. He states the year
of that visit, which. according to our
calendar, WAS IS b. c. He also states
other facts which enabled the calcu
lation as to month and day to be
made.
Caesar In his journal, or "Commen-
taries," relates that he set out on the
expedition when little of summer re-
manned, when the people of the south
of Britain are engaged in their har-
vest, and that after stay of three
weeks, he returned TO Gaul before the
equinox. 1t is, therefore, concluded
that the day of landing must have
been in August.

TRUST TOO MUCH TO LUCK
Few Have Proper Preparation for
Work Which They Undertake
h to Do In Life.

Many persons go through life for
long time with a veil, as 1t were, OBJ
securing their clear vision. They do not
understand life as 1t is; they prefer to
try to make OF 1t what they think 1t.
should be in order to satisfy their am
billions; they do not like the obstacles
that bar their paths; they want the
why they may not always have 1t. 1t
is a difficult thing to make Roadway in
any undertaking when we are COM
PEELED TO grope In the darkness and
feel our steps, We do our best, per-
haps, but even so we make mistakes
and set ourselves far back In our en-
deavors simply because we are not pre-
pared for the work in hand. No one
may even hope to accomplish really
worth while results unless he under
stands the needs Of the task In hand
and is prepared to meet them. Good
preparation is the foundation for our
lifework, and unless our foundations
are solid 1t is impossible to build
strongly upon them for the future.
That Is why so many OF us make such
sorry failures Of life. We have had
nothing on which to build. The
f1imsy little base upon which we seek
TO set our lifework Is not large enough
TO bear the hard strain OF earnest eff
fort. 1t gives way under the first
heavy pressure and we find ourselves
In the dark. Again we begin to feel
our way and again we trust to luck to
get results that will be worth having.

Concerning the value of banana flour
there is no possible question. Henry
M. Stanley, while he was in Darkest
Africa, tested that matter thoroughly.
For something like two years it was
one of the staple foods on which he
lived, and his testimony regarding 1t
is both clear and convincing, though
the -four he had was made in the most
primitive fashion, by the natives
among whom he was living, and was
not comparable, save in the single
particular Of cost, with the flour that
has been produced and is being pro-
duced today in New York city.
The worlds available supply Of ba-
nanas Is practically inexhaustible.
Growing wild as the banana does with
all the excessive prodigality of trop-
zeal vegetation, in localities far out
side the ken of civilization, there Is
no way of estimating the possible ex.
tent of the annual crop, but 1t may be
said that enough bananas to feed the

raw fruits and take lots of outdoor

to overcome it entirely. In the
