RICH LEGISLATORS
 WON'T ACCEPT PAY

Pity the poor state auditor! He can't make some of those legislature guys take their money Auditor Jesse L. Boyce is absent on a vacation jaunt to Mexico to rest his tired nerves, but Deputy M. S. Stanley ison the job and cussing about those birds who fly away before he can pay them-
 Stanley admits that most of the leg islature members are not that way, most of them making a bargain counter scramble for hisoffice just the minute the legislature adjourns, but some of the bunch cant carry any more than they've already got and they have to be chased.
 There is no exaggeration about chas- ing them, Stanley says, he claims that chasing business to be an actual fact. those millionaire legislatures having no time to collect weekly pay at the rate of a paltry $7 day. To the auditors office the indifference of the millionaire solons is extremely annoy ing as the money cant be gotten off he books until it is paid.
 The vouchers for the money are part of the state records and can't be mailed to the offices of the millionaires, the only place where the vouchers can be signed being in the auditors office. Hence, according to the deputy, in or der to keep the books cleaned up 1t is absolutely necessary to chase, nursue. hound, run down, and other wise capture the recalcitrant toga

ID PLANT DUCK POND
 AND COAX WILD CAME

Preparing for himself a place to duck, whether for political reasons or otherwise, Senator A. R. Buehman or Tucson called upon State Game Ward en Joe Prochaska the other day for d supply of wild celery, wild rice, and wild sage with which to stock a place. The place, according to the esnator, is one of the finest potential duck ponds in the state.
 Associated with the senator are George T. Hawke, w. L. Morrison. Ed Wells, and w. H. Thompson, all of Pima county. They have located the makingS of a superb duck pond at a lake about 75 miles southwest of Tue son, the lake being one-half mile wide and two miles long. It is a superb proposition, according to the senator, having everything but the ducks.
 All that is necessary to make it the duckiest duck pond in the state is to get lots of ducks. A supply of wild mallards, as decoys, will be put upon the job at once to attract other ducks, and the game warden's expected dona- tion of wild celery, wild rice, and wild sage is expected to do the rest
 The duck qintet propose to build first class hunting lodge on the prem ises and to install a duck tender who will be on the job at all times Hawke Is said to be taking a particularly ac- tive interest in the pond and expects soon to see the newspapers carrying accounts about the Hawke that eats the ducks.''

MOTOR CARS CRASH
 BUT OCCUPANTS ARE
 ONLY SLIGHTLY HURT

Although two heavy motor cars met with terrific impact on the brink of Desert Curve, on the Tempe road yes : terday, no one was severely injured. The accident occurred about ,: 80 clock yesterday afternoon when Miss Dorothy Brownfie1d, daughter of Dr. Robert R. Brownfield, driving toward Phoenix from Tempe, attempted to pass a second car travelling in the same direction. In her attempt to pass, Miss Brownfield'S car crashed into a Union Auto stage east bound, driven by Lee Raper.
 There were several high school girls in the car with Miss Brownfield, and the auto stage was well-filled with passengers. Those in the auto stage saw the oncoming' car in time to brace themselves for the shock. The crash threw the heavy stage into the pro- tective iron rail separating the road way from the ravine. A supporting concrete post and several lengths of the rail gave way and for moment the stage was in danger of rolling over the steep embankment, but recovered it's balance and the passengers escaped without injury. Miss Gertrude Darby, an occupant of the car Miss Brown field was driving, was reported to be slightly injured by flying glass, but the others in the car escaped with nothing more serious than a nervous shock. The front wheel of the car Miss Brownfield was driving, was ripped off and the axle twisted. The auto stage was badly damaged and a second stage was sent to take the passengers to their destinations

BLACK LEG ANO ANTHRAX
REPORTED II DELAWARE
FORMER DISEASE AT NEWARK
AND LATTER AT MILFORD
State Veterinarian Starts a Rigid
Campaign to Stamp out Disease
Before an Epidemic Results


Anthrax and Black Leg-annoving
diseases among stock-have developad
on Delaware farms, the former near
Milford and the latter near Newark
Eight or ten sheep on the farm of
Ira Sharp, about 21 miles from Mil
ford, have died of anthrax. The di-
agnosis has been conformed by an in
vestigation made, at the instance of
State Veterinarian Charles |. Hoch.
by the H. K. Mulford Co. of Pennsyl-
vania.
Two young cattle have died on the
farm of George Ragan, about three
miles from Newark. The matter was
first reported to DR.. Mackie, who in
turn reported it to the State veteri-
marian. The affliction in that case
was found, according to an analysis
made at Delaware College, to be
Black Leg.
DR.. Hoch has taken immediate ac-
tiOn in both cases and he has arrang-
ed to have thorough vaccination
made on both farms. This is without
expense to the owners of the animals,
as the State gives the service free.
So far as is known, neither disease
has shown any signs of spreading
from the farm on which it originated.
but the authorities are taking no
chances and they are going to make a
thorough investigation in each neigh
borhood. Any suspected cases should
be reported at once to State Veterin-
arian Hoch, who has his office at 904
Jackson street, Wilmington.
The State Livestock Sanitary
Board, of which the veterinarian is a
member, held meeting in Dover on
Thursday to take such action as is
warranted as a result of recent legis-
lation and also to select the virus that
is to be used, the State having made
an appropriation in that behalf. Al

OLD HENLOPEN LIGHTHOUSE
RumOr it May be Abandoned by the
Federal Government As a Station


Although the Federal government
in ten years, has spent S3OO,0OO build
ing jetties at Henlopen lighthouse, on
Lewes Beach, its foundation is being
washed away. Timbers of piling,
bolted and lashed together, that once
was 5O0-foot breakwater, are warp
ed, twisted and imbedded deeply in
sand. Waves now break over the
wrecked jetty. Hundreds of pine
trees have been laid against the hill
on which the lighthouse stands to pre-
vent water undermining the founda-
tion. The first jetty lasted no time
and the next one built was destroyed
last winter. The lighthouse keeper
says it is only a question of time
when the 160-year-old foundation will
slip from under the lighthouse into
the ocean. Originally it stood 300
feet from the beach on high ground.
Now one can stand on the beach and
look up at a perpendicular shaft.
The old lighthouse has expensive
glass prisms and mechanism. A plate
of silver valued at $4,000 is used as
reflector, which casts a brilliant
light. In the keepers house, still
telling the time of day, is a mahog-
any clock $50 years old, left there by
the British, which bears the name of
a Boston manufacturer. There is a
report that the lighthouse will be
abandoned and a modern steel struc-
ture erected further down the coast.

The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1920-05-27

In all baseball history only one man
ever won more than five hundred
games. And that star of stars was Cy
Young, who garnered total of sos
victories in 1887 games during his %
years as big Lacquer. His yearly
average was % victories against 10
defeats for percentage of COG, Dur
ing all the years of Young's career
his novice days. his prime and his wan
ing power-he struck out an average
Of three men per game and yielded
only about ~ passes.
Mathewson's Record.
Chrlsty Mathewson alone challenged
the supremacy Of Young-but the
mighty "Big Six" fell far. short of the
record of the veteran Of bygone days.
Mathewson lasted only II years as a
twirler, during which time he scored
372 victories. His yearly winning av-
erage was % victories against II de-
feats for a mark of .664. In all those
II years Mathewson issued only III
bases on balls in 625 games-a show
ing that eclipses anything ever exhib-
tied.
Looking back over the records for
the three best consecutive seasons
shows that Joe Wood is the percentage
leader and that Walter Johnson and
Cy Young are tied in the matter of to-
tai triumphs during such a period.
Wood during 1912, 1913 and 1914
won 81 out of 81 games for the re-
markable average of S06. His yearly
showing was Is victories against 4 de-
feats. Second place in the percentage
ranking belongs to Chief Bender, who.
from 1909 to 1911, inclusive. won 50
out of " games for mark of .766.
The three best years that Cy Young
ever knew were 1891, 1892 and 1893.
He won 90 and lost 40 games in that
period. Walter Johnson tied Young in
winning 81 clashes in 1912, 1913 and
1914. But the showing of Johnson
surpasses that of Young because while
Cy was losing 40 games Walter
