BABE" RUTH'S METHODS
 BRING PITCHERS WOE
(Bv ITnited Pressl

New York, Oct. 2.-Beginning with the year 1880, professional baseball should have a batting renaissance.
 At just about that time the uninten- tional tutoring of Babe Ruth will begin to show it's effect on the Amer ican youth. Kids now at the impress sionable age will be beginning to break into boXscores of professional base ball and the cards say that a flock of pitchers will begin to yell for ball trifle less lively. Owners of clubs too, will favor legislation to keep a flock of pellets from leaving the grounds every day. Something new in the way of batting achievements will have to be invented, probably, because home runs should be as common then as ordinary hits are now.
 The reason for this dip into proph- ecy naturally is that everywhere in this broad land, the ten year old kid is initiating Babe Ruth. They've got his swing, his "stance" and even his "waggle."
 Just as a caddy develops into a star golfer. simply through co~ cious of the star drivers aad put ters he serves, so are the kids of today going to pick up some of Babes home run methods.

COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETING
WELL ATTENDED THURSDAY

The regular monthly meeting OF the
Phoebe Commercial Club was held last
evening and resulted, as usual, In ac-
ton for the betterment Of the COM
munity. NJ l.. Lee reported that the
ore loading platform at the Salt Lake
depot was serving the shippers and
that it's cost was being returned quickly
in the manner recommended by the
Commercial Club.
The serious question of railroad
freight rates covering low-grade ores
from the Phoebe district was earnestly
discussed, but the subject was too vital
to permit any prompt solution. Work
on this pressing problem is being con-
tinued.
In the matter of ssking for change
In the train schedule from Caliente 1t
was brought out that the shortage Of
motive power on the main line Of the
Salt Lake Route precluded any change
at this time, although when new en-
gines. which are expected within thirty
days. are received the railroad officials
will consider the betterment of the
poor express and mail service now ex-
listing.
The Lincoln county fair at Calientc
was endorsed and encouraged. The Pr
oche Baseball Club was discussed and
means sought to insure the continuance
Of the game next year. Charles A.
Thompson made most public-spirited
offer in hsi proposal to donate a portion
Of the property owned by his firm for
use in charging the present baseball
diamond II the diamond is cleared and
enlarged by other members of the COM
munity. The use Of the county grader
would clean out all the rocks and brush
and permit the parking OF automobiles
At the next meeting matters of great
Importance to the county will come ur
for discussion and an effort will be
made to complete those projects nov
under way. A full attendance 10 re-
quested by officers of the club.

Stop Sale of Saccharine

Through the cooperation of the
Pennsylvania Department of Agricul-
ture, Bureau of Foods, and the Fede-
raj authorities in Washington, the
saccharine menace in Pennsylvania
has been practically eliminated. Agents
of the State Bureau of Foods have
located the sources of practically all
of the doped syrups containing saccha'
rine and not only has the sale of these
products been stopped in Pennsylvania,
but the Federal authorities have taken
steps to prevent the shipment of the
banned products into the State.
Director James Foust, following a
conference with Dr. Carl L. Alsberg
Chief of the Bureau of Chemistry. at
WASHINGTON, announced that TIE situa
tion was better in Pennsylvania than
ri any tine since the soaring price of
sugar brought about a use Of saccha'
rinc by rnst rupulous dealers.

Saving Potato Seed :"

Farmers who contemplate saving
their own potatoes for seed are aG
vised by the Bureau of Plant Industry
of the Pennsylvania Department Of
Agriculture to try to get seed from
only the most vigorous and productive
plants, since weaklings and diseased
plants will reproduce their kind and
are therefore improbable. 1t is
recommended that part of the field
be now selected as seed plot AMI
that all weakly and diseased plants
be removed from it before before the
tops begin to die, so that nothing bit
the best will be left for next years
seed. An expert knowledge of pots-
to diseases is not needed to carry
out this method of eliminating the
unfit. Any one knows the difference
between strong, healthy potato plant
and a weakling, and by just getting
rid of the latter one cannot go far
wrong. A couple of hours work OF
this kind may mean a large increase
in next years crop.

"As far as consistent with other &C
tivities," says Secretary of Agriculture
Fred Rasmussen, these agencies will
continue until the State is cleared Of
this menace. This law was passed as
a means of protecting the persons
and property of the people of the
State. The Dog Law was enacted moi
only to protect the sheep, poultry ant
wild life from needless destruction
but also to protect the rights of the
individual"

Safe Cracking Art
Taught to De Sylvia

If Karl De Sylvia who plays the
heavy in "The Vanishing Dagger" ever
tires of having his well-laid plans
nipped in the bud by the hero and
getting the rough end of the deal at the
beginning of every episode, he can
say goodbye to the camera and the
Cooper-Hewitts, and engage in a new
profession.
De Sylvia has just had some expert
instruction in the fine art of safe
cracking and he feels equal to tackling
the United States Treasury or the
Bank of England.
In the seventeenth episode of "The
Vanishing Dagger" the scenario calls
for the blowing of safe in the pawn
shop wherein is secreted the much
sought-after dagger. Edward Kuli,
directing the production, engaged the
services of a one-time notorious safe
cracker who has been leading the
square life for some years, to instruct
De Sylvia in the gentle art of planting
"soup" to coax valuables from strong
box.

Dangerous Cows

Twenty-Five dairy COWS driven
across the Maryland-York county line
by cattle dealers in violation of the
Interstate Cattle Law, were quaran-
tined and inspected by agents of the
Bureau of Animal Industry, Pennsyl-
vania Department of Agriculture, and
nine, or SO per cent of the COWS were
found to be so badly diseased that
they were condemned for fertilizer.
The State line is being closely
watched by Bureau agents, and the
State officials, in cooperation with
the Federal Department of Agriculture
are exerting every effort to break ur
this illegal traffic in diseased cattle.
Prospective purchasers are warned
against buying cattle unless a bona
fide health certificate of each animal
is furnished.
The diseased cattle in this instance
were to have been offered at public
sale in section of Chester County
which contains hundreds of good dair-
les. Had they not been caught and
held by State agents they would, I'M
doubtedly have been bought by unsus-
pecting farmers, placed in their herds,
with the result that tuberculosis would
have been spread to other cattle. to
say nothing of communicating the
milk.

cause the worm lives inside a tube
made from silk spun by itself, inter.
woven with bits of leaves from the
tree on which it is living. The tus
sock moth caterpillars produce two
broods per year and damage trees
badly when abundant. They can be
controlled very easily by spraying with
arsenate of lead, using two pounds of
the powdered form in so gallons of
water.
For only a tree or two, particularly
small trees in front of city homes, con-
troll will be effected much more cas-

can be purchased from seed stores

busting purposes-one containing IS

results. Practically all parts of the
tree can be easily reached with the

Wheat Crop Exceeds
Early Estimates

Despite the fact that the Hessian fly
made it's appearance in the wheat ir
many of the southern counties of the
State, the yield has been generally
larger than was anticipated. In one
section of York County, fields that
in early July were expected to yield
not more than 16 bushels to the acre,
have netted 20 bushels to the acre.
The reports generally from the wheat
belt of the State shows a heavier crop
