TEMpERAMENTAL

Joe Dugan is to be commended for
hiss return to the Athletics after he
quit the club cold in an outburst of
temperament.
If he had stuck by his first decision
never to play in Philadelphia again,
he would have rung down the curtain
on bright career.
Dugan is already a star. If he
tries little harder in order to re-
gain the prestige he lost by quitting,
he'll soon be burning up the league
He is capable. No doubt of that.

SCRUB PIGS ARE EXPENSIVE
That Purebreds Are Most Profitable Animals.

The county agent of Page county. Virginia. tried last summer to per suade a farmer in his territory to keep ptrebred hogs. The man was difl- cult to convince. At the time of the argument the boys pig-club contest for the year was just starting. De- spite the arguments which the county agent made in favor of purebred stock. the man went ahead and bought four sc->ib pigs. saying he did not think the boys club would do any better than those he had purchased. He bought his pigs a month after the club contest started, and gave them the best of attention. He butchered his hogs in January. this year, and the largest weighed 175 pounds gross. The prize winner in the pig club weighed S3O pounds, and was fed only lit- tie over five months. This farmer is now trying to buy some purebred hogs, and declares his scrubs cost him more than twice the amount the meat they produced would have cost him.

AND SHE COULDN'T DENY IT
One Time That Mir. Hogo Scored on the Partner of His Joys
 and Sorrows.

Former Senator John w. Weeks was lately recalling some of the happy days of the long ago in Washington.
 In those days, he said. there were such things as bars, and his friend Hirbutus Hogg. spent great deal of his time on the fringe of the oases.
 One night after an unusually long sojourn near his favorite bar. Mir. Hogg navigated painfully home and at last reached his bedroom Mrs. Hogg was waiting for him.
 "Hirbutus," she sai.:, after a swift appraisal of his condition, "I am ashamed of you-utterly ashamed. You are Hogg by name and hog by nature.'

S!IesIan question. Upper Silesia. II will

disposed OF finally by the treaty or
Versailles. II was provided that pop
ular vote. or plebiscite. should be
taken. and that the allies should be
GUIDED by the result OF this election In
making their hnal award. Germans cast
a majority Of tho votes. considering
the territory as \ whole, but in certain
districts the Poles cast q majority. Tho
dispute had been whether tho entire ter
ritory should 10 TO Germany or the dis
tricts carried by the Poles be given 10
Poland. England had supported the
German claim and France had been the
champion OF tho Polish contention.
Under tho compromise reached by
Lloyd George and BRAND. Poland Is to
receive a part OF Upper Silesia but not
as much as France and Poland desired
In way. tho settlement Is a victory
for the Poles. since they will receive
valuable mineral regions without which
II was contended that II would be inn
possible for tho new Polish nation TO

pansion In the east Will be somewhat
