1oHN BARLEYCoRN is the only

IoHN BARLEYCORN Is the only
d champion on record who retires un-
beaten. He retired under pressure, it is
true. but he retired without finding an
onncnent who could stick with him and
,o the full route. His list of knock
outs would fill 100000 or 10000, 900
volumes, printed Upon thin paper. What
a kick he had when he was in the pink !
WHERE do they all go? Well, there's
w Gabby Street, who first caught
Walter Johnson, and who in addition
was the first man to handle ball tossed
from the Washington Monument. 1t has
bppn more than day or two since
Gabby's name was heard in big league
circles. but he is busy now gathering
talent to handle the Suffolk club of the
Virginia League. BY wandering off the
beaten trail you can stumble over many
an old star still plugging away at the
game, now far removed from the head
line and the welcome roar of the big
league crowd.

THE minors never caught Hans Wag-
l ner and you say they will never
catch Ty Cobb and Walter johnson,
Perhaps not But at the finish they
caught Napoleon Lajoie, Bill Bradley,
Art Devln, Chief Bender, and few
more whose names will not be forgotten
very soon.

to hear from Messrs. Kearns and
DescampS, but time loiI help to cure
this depression.
Looking at the Ball.
THOSE who still fail to appreciate the
l. necessity of looking at the ball in
golf tennis or baseball, at the moment
of impact, might consider the case of
Red Roberts. of Center College, in the
West Virginia game.
'tup' 70 was ol lllS OWu i've
yard line on the fourth down. The sig
nal of course, was for a kick. In his
eagerneSs to see just where the ball was
going after leaving his foot, Roberts
lifted his head just before making the
punt. The result was that he missed the
ball all together, one Of the rare times
this peculiar play ever came up in any
football game.
LOOKING at the ball isn't necessity
Il that belongs to golf alone. One of the
main reasons that count for Walter
JohnSon'S success rests in his ability to
put more speed upon the ball than the
human eye can foIlOD.
THERE is always keen eagerness to
see where a ball is going after

or baseball. The result is sudden lift

The Labor Outlook.

There is no doubt but that the
present labor outlook for gathering
the local crop is serious. The sea-
son Of 1919-192O produced some
thing over $4,000 bales in Scurry
county under trying labor conditions.
The present crop indicating almost
twice this production will need con-
siderably more labor to gather. Just
how this labor is to be obtained in
time is tho problem. Without any
plans to overcome this labor short
age beforehand, Scurry county farm
ers are bound to pay higher prices
for labor than the communities In
which this matter has been taken
care of before the season is well un-
der way.
Some individuals have already
made arrangements for farm labor
but no concerted effort seems to be
under way and unless our people
wake up we will be caught In, the
same tight we have always been In
before.
It Is to be hoped the various farm
ers organizations and business men
will cooperate in this matter with
view OF having the labor situation
we'll in hand before II is too late.

ings and the interpretation at the
mines.
In our visit to three of the largest
fields in Colorado we found the pro-
duction about so per cent OF normal.
The strike situation In Illinois and
Indiana has caused coal men to flock
to this fed for help and they are
offering almost any price for coal.
We don't think there is any doubt
but that we can take care OF the
orders we have booked, but those Of
you who can secure coal had better
do so. II you succeed in getting
your coal supply elsewhere kindly
notify us so that we may cancel the
order on our books.
Coal operators and railroad Of

grain is moved in the west, cars will
be more plentiful and a sufficient
number may be secured to take care

TO BUILD CITY FOR
 WORLD MERCHANTS
Plan Erection of MarChe du
 Monde in Paris

London, Feb. 13.-Plans for the place for the buyers of the world, which is to be established in Paris in two years, contemplate the erection of a vast building nine times the size of Trafalgar square and containing not only 5000 shops but many special fea- lures, including the most luxurious club and the largest banquet hall in the world. Details of the scheme were given here by Sir Charles Dun das, secretary of the association of Great Britain and France.
 The object" he said, lis to give producers and buyers of the world the facility to perform all their transac- tions in one place.
 Tt will be the only building in the world where the rentals will decrease according to the length of the leases, and where the tenants will be consid- cred as valued clients, and not as ob- jects of speculation
 '"rhe building will be of six stories, with a frontage of $50 feet. It will be nine times the size of Trafalgar square and will cost approximately 100000 pounds.
 This enormous building" contin- ued Sir Charles DundaS, will contain 5000 shops, the most luxurious club in world for buyers and producers swimming and Turkish baths, gymna- -siun, restaurant, grill room. roof gar den, several lecture rooms, industrial cinema, and the worlds largest ban quoting room.
 Briefly, what is contemplated is the erection and operation of veritable city, in which it may reasonably be estimated there will be 8 floating population of manufacturers, produc- CTS, merchants. buyers and the neces- sary employees, exceeding 30,000 peo- pie"
