In 1915 the Cubs won a pennant
For 1919 they added Alexander and
then finished third. We mention
this erratic detail to let you know
some of the bizarre eccentricities
of the sprightly dope.
In 1918 the Red Sox won a world
championship. In the spring of 1919
they looked better than ever. They

Race Aspects.
If things break gently for Cleve-
land that club has a chance of
forging well ahead in the American
League. But if fate persists in as
sailing the lineup, New York and
Detroit both have a chance.
The National League race should
be the closer of the two. Cincinnati
and New York predcminate in the
early dope, but Brooklyn. Chicago
and Pittsburg are no great distance
away, where a few sudden turns
in the luck may keep the entire
quintet in a summer knot
There is no clubs in the National
League that seems to be as far ad-
vanced beyond competition as Cleve-
land does in the American.
Cleveland can still win with a
shade the worst Of the luck against
anv one rival.
There is no National League club
in this fix, Any one of three or four
clubs can take a shade in the break
and win a flag.
The Inner Meaning.
The opening of two major league
seasons adds more than a mere trifie
to the inner glow of the populace at
large
1t means added recreation, in a
spectatorial way, for several million
inhabitants who help push the turn
stiles around. 1t adds something
more to others who rarely go to see
a ball. game but who take keen en-
joyment in following the fortunes of
certain players and certain clubs.
This. list is larger than any one
might think
The flaming career of the spec
tacular Ruth will be followed by
thousands who will never see him
in action. But what he does or
doesn't do will add a new interest
to the various episodes of spring and
summer.
The worth of baseball in the way
Of added pleasure to a nation makes
it all the more necessary to see that
the game is cleanly run and cleanly

POLITICS THE MAIN INTEREST.

Most of the administrative
branches oc the Federal government
are head over heels in politics
and Congress has a hard time 10
keep going because most of its
members are plumb daffy over the
political situation. The only diver
sion is the performance Of HOnOra-
BILE JOS plus Daniels and his sea-
faring men who are holding NOR
tens over the part the Navy per-
formed in the war. The chief IN
terest in their quarrels surrounds
the telling of secrets that had bet
ter never have been told. Mr.. Bryan
as a habit of disagreeing with the
Democratic party leaders that is en-
livening, and the Republican candi-
dates have made one another enyi-
Gus by their tales of the sizes of
their campaign funds. The pre-
convention disclosures are proof of
the old saw about politics making
strange bedfellows.

PROSPECTS FOB THE BLUE
GRASS SEED CROP.

Preparations will soon be under
way for the annual harvesting of
the blue grass seed crop, which is
now fast ripening under the benign
influences of warm sunshine.
According to farmers and the seed
mel chants the seed for this year
will not be full crop, while in
some sections C the county the
seed is fairly good. The under
growth in the fields is very bad this
season, due to the heavy rains and
the cold weather which has prevent
ed the grass from making the show
ing it would have ordinarily.
No price has been set on the seed
for this year from the shippers and
will not likely be set until strip
ping begins, which will be from
June l to 10, according to seed
men.

THE NEWS man has thought the
matter over good bit, and we've
come to the conclusion that there's
no profession on earth where the
worker gets less appreciation and
more knocks and abuse than in the
newspaper game. And we have
reason some newspaper men go to
Heaven when they die is they get so
much of the other place while they
are On earth.
No matter how -Dobly the news
paper man boosts for the develop
nent of his town or community, no
matter how Loyalty he may support
n friend in politics or extol the vir-
tues of a citizen of the town, no
matt how loudly he sings the
praises of the town girls about tc
be wed, or how gently he lays d
wreath of pretty words on the grave
of a departed citizen, he seldom
hears the magic words"Thank You"
And but few times in his busy life
does he catch a whisper of that
cheering sentiment, "Well DONE"
But let him make slip in his pa
per-let him say some Paris man
did something he didn't do, or some
Paris woman said something she
didn't say, and everybody in Paris
is ready to take a whack at him.
This is true Of the newspaper game
everywhere, and being part of the
great world, Paris is no exception.
But with all the knocks, all the lack
CT thanks and the little cheering
words that could be said, but which
are left forgotten, the newspaper
man keeps right on boosting, and he
always will. He was born to help
the other fellow, and, like the birds,
learned early in life that if no one
else feeds him, Heaven may. And
maybe that's the reason why the
Lord keeps SO many newspaper men
on earth-to keep the balance Of
the world from sOuring or turning
stale.

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CANNOT
BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
catarrhal deafness, and that is by a
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
Deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining Of
the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is in1amed you have rumb-
ling sound Or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and
tube restred &c it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever
Many cases of deafness are caused
by catarrh, which is an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
Halls Catarrh Medicine acts
through the blood on the mucous
surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Catarrhal
Deafness that cannot be cured by

Damaging Cotton
By Exposure
to Weather.

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 22.--COtton
merchants and brokers in this city
acting in cooperation with those
throughout the state, have issued 9
warning to farmers relative to the
damaging Of cotton by exposure to
the weather. A most urgent re-
quest is being sent out over Georgia
urging every farmer to take precsu'
tons to prevent weather damsEe to
cotton either in bales or seed.
That badly weather damaged cot
ton will not be handled by the
cotton merchants and brokers Of
Georgia is indicated by the tone Of
the statement. which points out that
with cotton at the present low
prices weather damage reduces the
value to the point where it is prac-
ticalIy worthless.
More than 800. 100000 was Lost
to the farmers Of Georgia in 1918
through weather. damage to cotton
and the cotton men say that this
year there are indications that the
same lacR of attention on the part
l.
of the producers is evident. Wealth
er damagedcotton is already being
received in Atlanta.
The cotton men emphasize the
necessity of protecting cotton from
the elements, urging the farmers 70
either store their cotton in wares
houses, taking the regular receipts.
or place it under adequate shelter
on their plantations. Weather
damage reduces the value Of cotton
from ten to fifty per cent, the
cotton men declare, while the grow
er must pay the expense OF picking
off the damageda cotton when the
bales come to the compress.
One we'll known cotton merchant
in this city returning from q trip
Ito south Georgia today asserted that
he saw more than 1000 bales Of
cotton standing out in the open,
without any protection whatever.
while travelling from Macon to Az
lanta. The same conditions pre-
vail in many other sections OF tho
state, it is said.

"Sl AvING FEAST" FOR BABIES
important Event IN Life of Chinese
Infant, When He Is Just q
Month Old.

A month after a child's birth in
China it's parents give what is called
the shaving feast" On this eventful
occasion the barber comes and shaves
off all Of Its hair except a small tuft
on the fore part Of the head.
When the little one is old enough
to play with toys the fond parents
place before it on table sword,
a book, pen, medicine, needles, boats,
ETC., and allow it to take up what
ever appeals to it most. The idea is
that the youngsters choice betokens
the occupation or business It will fol
low when it grows to maturity; if 1t
chooses a pen, the supposition is that
it will be a writer; if book, it will
be Q scholar; if a sword, it will be
a soldier, and so on.
IF the child at any time becomes
gravely i'll its mother hastens to the
temple and solemnly promises the
gods to consecrate its life to their
service if they will intervene to save
its life. Thus it often happens that
young Chinese become monks very
much against their wills.
The child's first birthday is made
the occasion of great festivities. Often
great quantities of "mien"-noodIes-
are prepared and sent about to all the
relatives and friends. Succeeding
birthdays are scarcely noticed until
the tenth. Then a great celebration
is held.
