As a matter of fact. Heinie's wife is the hold-out and Heinie is only acting as the spokes- man or middleman.

DOB|E LEAVES NAVY TO COACH
 CORNELL TEAM

Annapolis, Md, Feb. 27-It became definitely known here yesterday that Gilmour Dobie has been released from his contract to act as head coach of the Naval Academy football team for another year, and had ac- cepted a contract to act in the same capacity for Cornell for three years The release was granted today by the executive committee of the Navy Athletic Association.
 When the matter was placed be- fore the committee by the coach he was asked if he would consider an offer from the academy for the term of three years. This he declined to do, and the release was thereupon granted. No action has been taken looking to a successor to Dobie, but the matter will probably be taken up with Bob FolwelI, who has just been relieved as head coach at the Uni versity of Pennsylvania.

 "There aren't many spit ball pitch- CTS in the game, and a years proba- ton ought to be plenty of time for them to take up some other style of pitching il there's anything else be- sides the splitter they can pitch. As for the sinner and all it's kind, base ball is well rid of them. I always was opposed to that sort of pitching. The first benefit their punishment will bring will be brisker action because of no time lost by rubbing or other wise doctoring the ball.

EFFICIENCY OF
FARMER VARIES
Some Are Able to Detect and
Eliminate the LOw-Paying
or Losing Enterprises.
OTHERS SHOULD MAKE MORE
Information Obtained in Keeping Rec.
ords lie Valuable in Assisting
Farmer to Secure a Balanced
Business for Next Year.

Farmers, just like other business
men, vary widely In the degree Of EN-
cheney displayed In running their bust
ness. Some are able to analyze the
farm business and thus to detect and
eliminate the low-paying or losing en-
terprises. Others, lacking the knowl-
edge Of how to make a systematic
analysis Of the business as a whole,
Know that their profits are not what
they ought TO be- without knowing
how to 90 about II to increase them.
They may be able to find and correct
the obvious errors in the small-sized
farm business. but in handling a bust
ness Of considerable size they often
fail to spot the enterprises that are
losing money for them. Such men
may or may not make money, but at
best they fall short OF making as
much as they might. A farmer may
be making a large net profit on his
potatoes and losing 1t all by keeping
low-producing cows. Similarly a man
may be making money on his cows and
losing part Of the profit on another
enterprise. Hence the paramount i'm
pertance Of records to the farmer.
Farm Returns Studied.
Careful studies made upon . large
number Of farms enable the office Of
farm management OF the United States
department Of agriculture to make
some interesting statements in this
regard. For Instance. they End that
only 10 per cent--usually less--of the
farms studied are managed so ss to Sc
cure better-than-average returns from
all four factors--size OF business,
yield Of crops, live stock. and labor
while from 20 to 30 per cent Of tho
farms considered have only one factor
better than the average 1t must be
understood that no one OF these fac
tors will determine success.
The figures given which relate to the
labor income will prove most interest
ing TO farm employers. The analysis
has reduced the labor cost Of farm
work to figures. An acre Of hay, on
an average farm, costs the labor Of

WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE
Small Boy Satisfied That the Bill for
His Three Days Fun Was Not
Exorbltant

At last little Freddy was allowed to
visit grandpa all alone. They were
great friends. and had long waited for
the great day.
Freddy mad the time of his life.
Grandpa saw that he wanted for
nothing. The small boy ate more
cream buns In those three days than
he would otherwise have done in three
years, while his pockets bulged all the
time with candies.
But there comes an end to every
thing. and Freddy went home again,
pale yellow of complexion, and languid
and feverish. Mother promptly sent
for the doctor, who ordered him to
bed. and sent him some very unpleas-
ant. but doubtless healing medicine.
Grandpa came next day and was
permitted to creep upstairs to see how
the sufferer was faring. He found the
small boy lying wan and pale on his
pillow, but received a watery smile as
a welcome.
"0h, grandpa" said the weak little
voice.. ''Fve been awfully bad--but It
was worth it."

ASCENDING HIVE SAVES WORK
California 6eekeepsr Invsnts Appar.
atus That Does Away With
Much Shifting.

In tiered-up hives a great deal Of
lifting IS necessary in shifting frames
Also, though this is question Of dis
pute among beekeepers, It is maintain.
ed that bees DO not store as much
honey in the "long-ldeas" horizontal
hive as they do in the higher ones.
To eliminate both difficulties, Cal

hives constructed as an experiment.
He has found them altogether prac'
ticsble. Each ascending hive holds

in steps. each raised e Of an inch

The only objection to this hive is
the fact that heat, rising, makes the
top part hotter than the lower part
instead Of keeping the entire hive at
