A HARD WINTER

After somewhat hilarious
Christmas day a man called up his
son before 1t was light and told him
to go and harness the donkey. The
young man obeyed, but did not take
a light with him. 1t so happened
that the night before had been very
frosty, and an old COW had strayed
into the stable and driven the dom
key out. Thinking the young man
long time absent the father went
to ascertain the cause of the delay.
Jack, what are you doing?" he
called when he found the stable in
darkness. why. I can't get the
collar over the donkey's head" re-
piled Jack. His ears are frozen

SENATOR HARDING AND
DOLLAR WHEAT

Chicago, October 26.-The charge
that Senator Harding opposed guar
anteeing the American farmer more
ing the war is being widely and men
daciously circulated by his oppon.
ents. Franked matter intended tt
give wrong impression of Senator
Harding's attitude is being sent thru
the mails free at public expense AND
i'm other ways, too, the charge is
being circulated.
The facts are that Senator Harding
voted to guarantee the farmer $3.50
wheat, while President Wilson, when
the power was placed in his hands,
fixed the guarantee ostensibly at
1920, though as a matter of fact
the farmer got much less than that.
Senator Harding's reference to dol
lar wheat had no reference to the
price Of wheat in war time. He was
talking about the price of wheat in
times of peace prior to the great war.
He was not even talking of the price
of wheat under conditions since the
war ended.
While the Lever bill to encourage
food production was before the Sen
ate, July 21, 1917, Senator Harding
in the course Of running debate,
stated
81 said that raising $1.OO wheat was
profitable occupation in times Of
peace; and l said to the senator from
North Dakota, Mr.. McCumber, that
the knowing farmers of the country
are buying land in Ohio at $3.50 per
acre for the very purpose of going in
to commercial proposition of rails
ing wheat profitably at $1.O0 per
bushel-in times of peace to be sure"
This was "a reference to wheat pro-
duction in the days of peace when
dollar wheat was looked on far diff
ferently from what it was in the war
period or would be now in the un-
settled conditions following the war
Senator Harding's opponents, tho
they know perfectly well that Sem
ator Harding voted for $3.50 wheat
nevertheless garbled the statement
which he made by cutting out the last
seven words, Sin times of peace to be
sure" and circulating the rest Of it
so as to give the impression that Sen
ator Harding wanted to hold the farm
er down to dollar wheat in war times.
The Gore amendment for which
Senator Harding voted would have fix
ed a minimum price Of $3.50 on the
basis of No. 2 Northern wheat at the
local market. That price would have
still been subject to increase by the
President. But it could not have been
reduced
For this amendment Senator Hard
ing voted The President had al
ready proclaimed a price Of 1920
Had the Gore amendment as Senator
Harding voted for it, passed, it would
not only have made the price $3.50 |
instead of 1920, as fixed by the Presi-
dent but it would have enforced other
conditions to protect the farmers in
terest, that would have insured the
farmer a price probably averaging
SO cents more for his war time wheat
than he actually received.
The guarantee Of 1920 on the basis
of No. northern wheat at the Aprin-
cipal interior markets" did not by
any means insure the average wheat
farmer anything like 1920 for his
wheat. Much more commonly, he
actually got less than $500. The
Gore amendment as supported by Sem
ator Harding, would have meant a
very considerable increase to the far
mer over the price he was actually
paid during the war.

My nerves are simply in fine condi-

have those dreadful nervous dizzy
spells any more which came so near
killing me. Why, even my kidneys,
which have given me trouble ever

which l thought nothing could do any
good and never expected to receive

very little trouble now am so

CY BARGER's CLAIMS

Dear Sir; While | know that this Is
supposed TO be the time to discuss the
new manager for the coming season.
l would like to know what Is to become
or the old manager of the season lust
passed, as | hear umo that there Is
some sort of n hitch as to Cy Bar
gers 1920 diamond location. the trouble
as see 1t being that Cy says there
vas a gentlemen's agreement that when
he outlived his managerial usefulness
mere he was to be given his uncondi-
tlonal release. On the opposite angle
President Watkins says that Cy is like
any other ball player and is the prop
erty Of the local club until they see
fit to dispose Of him.
AS an ~out-and-out business PROPOSE
ton Watkins is right, but looking at
1t from the other side, other deposed
managers here were allowed to make
deals for the future for their services
and, those deposed in midseason were
paid their annual salaries, and to nv
way of thinking the local club lost
nothing in the deal, and on one occa-
sion actually made money out Of ii.
The case referred to Is that of Dolly
Stark who was relieved of the manage
rial burden in the middle Of the race,
told to go where he willed and draw
his salary as it fell due. Dolly. pIsd
to be relieved, beat It for the wilds
of Mississippi where several years ago
he dug up Willie Mitchell and prompt
~ repeated by grabbing off another I'M
polished jewel In the person Of young
Samuel Bruce Wick, whom he turned
over to the Memphis club with his
compliments.
Wick hit over 800 for the season for
the locals and in addition was sold for
fall delivery for 1850 and two pitch
ers, Vance and Blodgett, according to
a statement given out by President
Watkins at the time.
| do not know what Dolly's salary
for the latter part of the season
amounted to, but l do know he evened
up matters when he handed the local
moguls a gold mine like Wick.
Cy must go, That goes without say
ing, but the fact remains that It is
better for him to go cherishing nothing
but good feelings for the local club
than to trade him to some city where
he would not to go. And another
thing. the local magnates can not say
they put out any bunch of money for
the lanky hurier for if my memory
serves me right he came here a free
agent from the Pittsburgh Federals in
1916 when that league went on the
rocks. Respectfully. SAM JACKSON.
Memphis fandom will now stand and
Join in singing. ooh, Where Is Our
Wandering Manager Tonieht?"

ton, Of Rochester, MINI, outfought
Frank Moran, of Pittsburgh, in an
eight-rOund bout here last night.
Fulton weighed PA pounds and Mo
ran 1874. Moran wore himself out in
the first round in an effort to end the
bout quickly, Fulton used a left jab
with effect during the remaining rounds
and although'hi opponent was groggy
in the seventh, appeared unable to
knock him out.
As the bel rang starting the contest,
Moran rushed and met Fulton in his
corner and in a swift exchange placed
a hard right swing to the heavier mans
head, which staggered him to the ropes.
Fulton recovered quickly and sent sew
eral hard blows to the body. Moran
kept trying to land a hard swing. The
round was even. Moran showed the
effects of his hard efforts and Fulton
had little difficulty in %outfighting him
in the remaining rounds. After receiv-
ing two swings to the head in the sec
ord Fulton appeared unsteady. but
came back and did good work at close
quarters.

to hear the bell while they were en-

RIGHT CROSS DID WORK,

A right cross that landed flush on
Lindsay's jaw ended the Norfolk Lind
say bout The mill ended in the second
round after two minutes and Is seconds
had been reeled off. Norfolk and Lind
say travelled at an easy pace in the
opening round, with Norfolk looking for
an opening for his sleep punch and
Lindsay taking care to see that the
Kid didn't get in with it. Lindsay es-
sayed to lead several times in the first
round and landed three or four rights
and lefts to Norfolk's head that did
no damage. At the end of the opening
round neither fighter had done any
fighting, and honors were about even.
At the beginning Of the second Nor
folk started after Lindsay and landed
a hard left to the jaw as soon as he
came out of his corner. Lindsay sent
over a left to Norfolk's head and they
went into a clinch. On the break Nor
folk sent in a left jab, and then like a
flash across went his right paw car
rying death and destruction in it's wake.
The punch travelled from Beale to
Adams and when it landed Lindsay
dropped to the canvas, his head hit
ting the floor with a dull thud. Lind
say rolled over and was counted out by
Referee Hack, who then raised Nor
folks glove. Lindsay was carried to
his corner, where 1t was several min
utes before he was revived. 1t was
a double knockout, one from Norfolk
and the other from the floor.
Norfolk outweight Lindsay about 20
mounds.
