SUCH IS FAME.

Out in Cincinnati there's a judge whose vacation plans are entirely de- pendent upon the conduct of Babe Ruth, the New York Tanks slugger Shortly before leaving on his vacation his honor was asked by a neighbor where he. was going and how long he intendeds to stay. and he replied:
 Search me Cor words to that eff fecD Everything depends on Babe Ruth''
 Why, judge" replied the neigh Dor, beginning to fear that the sun had got in some wicked work, whats Babe Ruth got to do with your vacation ?''
 Why, it's this way" the judge re- piled. My son is a nut on baseball and particularly on Babe Ruth and I've promised to follow Babe around the circuit with him until he sees Babe knock homer. My vacation doesn't end until Babe comes across with a circuit clout. If he runs true to form l ought to be back home again in very short order.''

Man O'yEar and Sir Barton.

When Man O'war defeated John P. Grier he proved quite conc1usively that there is no three year old that can be compared with him. and the turf followers are scanning about for an older horse that might be able to make him extend himself. Sir Barton, who came back in sensational style a short time ago is looked upon as the only horse in the country which could be compared with Man O'War. It is generally believed that these two horses will meet before the nd of the present season. Such a race would certainly draw record breaking crowd.

pounds, while the other types had an
average of 679 pounds.
Before 1919, the average farm price
of the cigar types of tobacco was al
ways above that of the other types,
as whole, but In that year the ex-
traordinary demand for tobacco other
than the cigar classes and the i'm.

the price Of 21.9 cents for cigar to

bacco had lower price than in either

ADVANTAGES OF GOOD ROADS
Prosperity Made to Flow Into Any
Locality by Construction Of Sub
stantial Highways.

The way to make prosperity flow into
any locality Is to build roads that
will last and not have to be done over
every few years.
With good roads farmers can deliver
all their products directly to towns
within a radius of so or more miles, and
by making more profit themselves they
reduce the high cost Of living for other
people for merchants are able to take
advantage Of new sources Of supply to
buy their stocks under favorable con-
ditions, and sell them to their custom
ers at lower price.

HOW TO AVOID APPLE SCALD
tain Fats and Oils Reduce Dis
ease to Minimum.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.>
Most people have learned that, II
they sleep in an unventilated room,
they poison themselves with the gases
exhaled In their own breath. But 1t
probably has not occurred to many
people that apples asleep or semi-dOr-
mant-in cold storage-do exactly the
same thing. 1t had not occurred to
anybody, In fact. until very recently.
when some specialists In the bureau
OF plant industry. worked 1t out. 1t
Is not always possible to leave the
windows open in the sleeping room OF
the apples, but the specialists have
found a way Of getting around this
difficulty In experimental quantities by
the absorption in certain fats and
oils Of the poison that is breathed
out by the apples.
The disease which may be thus
caused In apples Is known as apple
scald and manifests itself by turning
the skin Of the apple brown. While
the scientists have discovered that the

breathed out by the apples, they have
not been able to Identify the gas or
gases. But they have discovered
that, If the apples are placed in wrap
pers impregnated with certain fats
and oils, the poison is absorbed and
the disease either prevented or re-
duced to a negligible quantity. In
barrel experiments in which only part
of the fruit was wrapped, the scald
was greatly reduced on apples ada
cent to the wrapped ones Ordinary
commercial apple wrappers caused
little decrease In scald and paraffln
wrappers were but little better.
Several other points Of importanc0
were determined as result Of the
experiments. Mature fruit scalds less
than immature, but fruit just chang
Ing from green to yellow has scalded
worse than either green or yellow
fruit. Well-colored red fruit surfaces
have been practically immune. Heavy
irrigation of apple trees increases the
susceptibility to scald in the apples
produced. Apples in ventilated bar
rels developed less than third as

WAY TO PRUNE RASPBERRlES
Spring When Buds Start-No
Detriment to Canes.

1t is generally advised TO prune
raspbcrfies in the spring, and not in
fall, because of their liability to die
back during winter. If pruned in the
fall, the chances are that another prun-
ing would be required in the spring
and double labor involved. Even when
spring comes it is often prudent to
wait till the buds start SO that no mis-,
take can be made as TO just how far
the live wood extends, says writer
in an exchange. There is no detri-
ment to the canes in such practice.
and | have found 1t of value also In
the case of the blackberry, especially
in the case of such varieties as the
Early Harvest and King, which are
injured by severe winters. The po-
sitlon of the blossom buds cannot al
ways be discerned until they begin to-
open and show white. have never
observed any injury as the result Of
such late pruning.

Natives Employ Curious
Methods to Heal Wounds

Inhabitants of the little mountain
country of Montenegro employ curious
methods of medical treatment, accord
Ing to American physicians who did
relief work there. The first thought Of
of the natives In healing wounds is to
apply chewing tobacco, horsehair or
fresh rabbit skin TO sore. with the
hair facing inside. Common ink is con-
sidered to be a sovereign remedy for
burns. Cobwebs are used in Montene-
gro to stop bleeding sores or wounds
When a person Is bitten by dog the
favorite remedy is to pull off the ami
mails ear and rub the wound with 1t.
Since the arrival of American physi-
clans, however, the natives are max
ing numerous visits to Red Cross elm
les and dispensares as a means of
curing their Ills
