Could Not Hold Plane

Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. 1O.-The
law that makes it possible for farm
er to hold his neighbours cow which
has got into his field and destroyed
his crops until the owner settles does
not allow the confiscation Of an air
plane which has dropped into the
field and created havoc.
This was the ruling given by Paul
j. Thompson, acting county attorney,
to the constable of the village of
Bloomington.
The ruling applied to the case of
James Hardin, a farmer, living near
Bloomington, who asked the constable
if he could hold an airplane which
destroyed part of his onion patch.

Pattern Inventors
| Opinion of Styles

Mrs. Ellis, the nonogenarian, who
invented paper patterns, is living in
Manchester, England. Her opinion of
present day styles is emphatically'
that she would not cut patterns for
any of the garments worn today. Mrs.
Ellis is quoted as saying that they
are indecent and ridiculous and if she
were young man Of today, she would
not walk with modern young wo-
man.

Electrical Programmes

The hoHsekeeper saves herself
and the clothes by using an electric
washer and doing away with old-fash-
toned washboard.
Cleaning "day" with an electric
cleaner is cleaning "hour."
Electric cleaning means certified
cleaning.
Make your head save your
heels" maxim has been realized in
the electric iron, for it is surely a
step-saver.

The tournament, which will be COM

GOOD INFIELDERs.

Dutch Bernsen, first baseman, and
Tommy Stevenson. shortstop, are GER
tain to make good. Bernsen has little
competition at first while Moley is
going to shift Stevenson to third, his
natural position, and let it go at that.
Stevenson should easily hold his own
with any third sacker in the league
this year. He hit well last year and
always managed to hold his own with
the other good shortmiths in the
league.
Al Ellis is practically a certainty in
left field while Sat Sumrha will have
to hustle to hold down his job with
John McCarty ttYk outfielder purchased
from Columbus, billed for a regular
place In the outfield. Local critics fig
ure that the third place in the outfield
Will be taken care Of by class = man
which will leave Summa out of it.
Wordsworth has signed up a slough
of pitching phenoms. He allows that
he is going to have pitching staff this
season if he has to bankrupt Rick
Woodward, the millionaire owner who is
rated around fifty millions. The young
pitchers under contract are Fred Butt,
Hap Henderson, Earl Whitehill, r. t.
Collins and c. A. Fox. Collins comes
well recommended by Gavvy Cravath,
ing in Birmingham.
The infield promises to give Moles-
worth something to worry about. Capt.
Eddie McDonald's place at second is
going to be heard to fill. David Black,
who tried out with the Yankees, is
the most promising looking candidate
for the position. Fred Hogan and Ralph
Croll will vie for shortstop. Both are
semipro players.
