PITCHER WAITE HOYT
AGAIN IN HOME TOWN
Youngest of Big League HurIers
Returns to Gotham.
Has Been Termed One of Most Prom.
Using Rioht-Randers in American
League-Began His Career With
New York Giants.

Waite Hoyt has gone back to Great
er New York. The Brooklyn lad, who
as the star pitcher of the Erasmus
ball team was signed by John ]. Nc
Graw, was shifted to the minors and
then came back and made an enviable
record for himself in the big-time cir
cult, was traded by Harry A. Frazee
of the Boston Red Sox to the New
York Yankees.
Hoyt has been called one of the
most promising right-handers in the
American league, and although he has
only just turned twenty-one he has
been taking his turn on the mound
for the Red Sox with the veterans and
has been handing in a good share Of
winnings, despite the fact that he is
the youngest twirler in either of the
big leagues.
Boston, it must be admitted. was
dubious as to Hoyt's future, for last
year he was put out of the running in
midseason when he seriously strained
an abdominal muscle. His youthful

Honoring the Soldier Unknown Dead

uONORS TO the Unknown Dead" as
II in England and France seem to
have touched the American heart
Anyway, the American government is
TO have a hand in the British and
French ceremonies. 1t will bestow the
congressional medal of honor upon the
two unknown heroes recently buried
with imposing ceremonies across the
sea. The bill as it passed the house
was as follows:
"a bill Oh. r. 16076) authorizing be-
stowal upon the unknown, unidentified
British soldier buried in Westminster
Abbey and the unknown, unidentified
French soldier buried in the Arc de
Triomphe of the congressional medal
of honor.
Whereas Great Britain and France,
two of the allies of the United States
in the World war, have lately done
honor TO the unknown dead of their
armies by placing with fitting cere-
mony the body of an unknown, uniden-
titled soldier, respectively in West
minister Abbey and in the Arc de Tri-
omphe; and
Whereas, animated by the same
spirit of comradeship in which we of
the American forces fought alongside
these allies, we desire to add whatever
we can to the imperishable glory won
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1921-04-08

by the deeds of our allies and COM
memorated in part by this tribute to
their unknown dead: Now, therefore,
BE it enacted, etc., That the Presi-
dent of the United States be, and he
hereby is, authorized to bestow with
appropriate ceremonies, military and
civil, the congressional medal of hon.
or upon the unknown, unidentified
British soldier buried in Westminster
Abbey, London, England, and upon the
unknown, unidentified French soldier
buried in the Arc de Triomphe, Paris,
France"
1t now seems likely that we are to
have the same sort of a ceremony
here in America-that an unknown
American soldiers body will be brought
home from France and buried at Ar
lington, or possibly even in the capitol.

Army Fliers Eager to Bomb Warships

A RMY aviators are eager to fight a
n real duel with the navy. While
admirals and generals have been ad-
vancing and disputing claims that the
airplane is far superior to the battle
ship as a war weapon, army pilots
have flooded the office of the air serv-
ice director with pleas that the mat
ter be settled under real war condi-
lions.
They have been all wrought up since
Josephus Daniels, then secretary of
the navy, offered to stand bareheaded
on a deck of a battleship and let
Brigadier General Mitchell, head of
the air service in the war, take a
crack at him with a bombing airplane.

fine CROPS SURE
Farmers in Western Canada
jubiIant at Prospect.
Splendid Winter Weather Has Put the
Naturally Fertile Land in Spleen
did Condition, and Bountiful
Yields Are Assured.

what a delightful winter we have
had" is an expression that could be
heard almost anywhere when the
topic of the weather became the sub
ject of conversation. Not only in the
Middle West and down east could
it be heard, but also in the Far West,
up in the Canadian West. There
the same remarkable features that
brought forth a wonderful winter ex-
listed. Reports from all parts OF the
country from famed Medicine Hat In
Alberta to Winnipeg in Manitoba, IN
dictate that all through the winter
season very little cold weather was
experienced. In December, we read
that golf playing had put into the dis
card all ice sports, that farmers were
caught ''red-handed" blowing their
fields. In January, the Alberta yeo-
man got out his tractor and in his
shirt sleeves was seen preparing
ground for the 1921 crop. During
February, in Saskatchewan, one
farmer narrowed fifty acres and
planted the seed. why, yes. OF
course, in March," said an Iowa
farmer, who had just heard from his
son, who was looking after the West
ern Canadian farm, my boy writes
me they had some snow, and few
cold dips, but what did that matterf
The cattle and the horses came
through the winter in better condition
than they looked three or four months
ago. Grass was plentiful on the prai-
ries, the stubble was rich and valu-
able as food, and the straw stacks
and groves proved ample for shelter"
Spring is now fully upon the West
ern Canada farmer, his machinery is
all in shape for springs work, and
he is looking forward to an excellent
crop year. Last fall there was a
splendid lot of moisture that perme-
ated the ground sufficiently to leave
a perfect seed bed. Indications are
now that the crop will go in in the
condition required for successful ger
mination. Then, with the heightened
days of May and June, the many
hours of sunshine that they bring, ac-
companied by showers of rain, and
with soil of which there is none
richer nor more generous, there will
be seen preparing for ripening har-
vest the hundreds of thousands Of
acres of wheat, oats, barley, rye, al
falfa and corn that will make the
hearts of the Western Canada farmers
swell with pride as they reasonably
look forward to an abundant harvest.
There is a great deal that can be
said in favor Of the climate of West
ern Canada. The most important is
that those who live there, and have
lived in other countries, prefer it to
any they have experienced elsewhere.
1t is true the winters as a rule are
colder than are those in countries
lying much farther south, but it is
also true that they are tempered by
a dryness of the atmosphere that
makes lower temperature preferable
to that several degrees higher where
greater humidity prevails. Enerya-
ton and listlessness are unknown !;
the air is bracing, but the cold is not
penetrating. Then the summers and
the autumns-they could not be more

NEED MORE THAN BIG
VOICE TO BE Jump"

When Harry Howell, oLe-time
splendid Brown pitcher, quit the
game as an active participant,
he tried his hand at umpiring
and broke in on the Texas league
circuit. Harry possessed an ex-
cellent voice, one that was COM
pared to that Of the late Silk
O'Laughlin.
In battle at Houston, Howell
was behind the bat and an
nounced the batteries Of the two
teams brilliantly. His voice
was f1utelike and created a
splendid impression.
The game started, and, accord
ing to the Houston catcher's
idea, Howell missed many Of
the balls and strikes. Finally,
he could stand it no longer.
Turning his head half around
and growing through the lat
ticework of mask, he said:

voice alone, Harry; you've got
