SHOULD CARRY A
SAWEDOFF SHOTGUN
There In More than One Effecfual
Weapon at a Law-Abiding
Mans Disposal

Jacksonville, June 14.-The board
of county commissioners has refused
to issue to A. C. Johns a permit to
carry a pistol on the ground that it
has not the power to do so. Johns
pleaded he was being followed by
moonshiners and that his life was in
danger. He told the commissioners
his mothers cattle were killed by the
moonshiners because they overturned
tubs of mash and that since he had
been instrumental in the raiding of
one still by federal prohibition agents
his life had been in jeopardy.
Upon being refused the permit,
Johns declared he would go to Cove
nor Hardee with his plea. Moonshin-
ers are "thick" in the Marietta sec
tion, he said, and he informed the
commissioners he would protect his
mother and sister if he had to "kill
everything in Duval county"

abouts of Sheriff Beard and his pris-
oner, John Williams, negro, accused
of the murder of a 12-year-old white

Her body was found in a small pond
near her home.
One negro church was burned and
two negro women beaten last night
near Autryville. while parties of white
men are searching for the wife of
Williams, according to work received
here today. The woman has not been
found.

CANNED
GOODS FOR THE FRENCH

Paris, June 14.-The vast stock of
canned foods left in France by the
American army and now being sold
to the public is proving boon to the
French housewife.
She is now able to go to her usual
grocery store and buy canned goods
really canned in America, and con-
taining labels in real English-at a
price which is sometimes 300 per cent
cheaper than the same variety of food
canned by the French.
String beans, salmon, tuna fish,
corned beef. potted ham. combinations
of vegetables and meat of various
kinds and many others are now OBJ
tainable from tiie stock of things the
army left behind and sold
to the French government.
Many of these things, pork and
beans, for instance, were virtually
unknown to the French until the Am
erican army came to France. All are
products of the best known American
packers and it is striking that the
average French housewife says Am
erican canning methods are better
than tie French.

Gainesville, June 11-Crop pros
poets in Florida improved generally
during the month of May according to

BIG LEAGUES TURN DOWN
MANY. YOUNG PLAYERS
Associated Press)

Chicago, June 13.-The annual try
out of scores of minor league baseball
players by major league teams has
ended and the yougsters who failed to
make good have joined in the yearly
pilgrimage back to the minors for
further experience, some to return
for another chance next year, but
many to remain in the bushes. .
Every season two or three hundred
youngsters are taken on the spring
training trips by managers hopeful of
finding at least one Cobb. one Sisler
or one Walter Johnson among them,
but when May Is, the day the clubs
nuts reduce to % players each, comes
around the try-outs are ended ar
most of the youngsters are back to the
minors.
This year the sixteen major league
clubs have sent 161 men back to the
lower leagues for seasoning. Most
of them are pitchers, for the heavy
batting of the past tyo years has sent
managers and scouts scurrying to
even the smallest leagues i'm the hope
of finding one or two good players,
but there is also good proportion of
outfielders and fair number of irifield-
ers and catchers.
The New York Americans, with 19
recruits sent backH lead both leagues,
in the number of players found want
ing. Manager Huggins kept only a
few of his youngsters and with the
exception of his pitching staff is de-
pending almost entirely on his last
years team
The Chicago White Sox, crippled
by the loss of eight stars through the
baseball scandal took nearly fifty
men south, but nineteen of the new
players have been found to be below
major league caliber and sent back
to the minors. The White Sox, how
ever, probably have kept more young
sters than any other club, Sheely,
Falk, Johnson, Mulligan and Mostil
being recruits who have earned regu-
lar positions in the broken up club.
Many of the youngsters tried out
this year were fresh from college and
the number of semipros given chances
in the majors each season seems to be
increasing. At least one of the college
men has more than made good. He
is Stephenson of Cleveland, who came
from the University of Alabama to
play second base when Bill Wambs-
ganns broke an arm. Stephenson
ranks in the first ten batters in the
league and has good batting record.
A majority of the players released
were sent back to the minors with
strings attached and will get another
chance in the majors next year. Some
of them already have had several
chances, but these men are always
cheered up by the numerous instances
of players who did not make good un-
til they had several tryouts in the
senior circuits and then became stars.

TYPICAL AMERICANS
ARE CITY JEWELLERS
(Associated Press,

Evanston, ILL.,, June 14-Thet ypical
American of today is a city dweller
President Walter Dill Scott. of North
western University told the students,
alumni and visitors attending his in
auguration as president of the univer-
sity here today.
We are no longer justified in as
signing human depravity as the cause
of inefficiency and discomfort in
homes, schools. churches and indus
tries," President Scott added: "The
real cause is rather to be found in us,
who are parents, teachers, ministers
and managers. We have failed to de-
veiop methods of handling children,
pupils, parishioners and workers in
keeping with the developments of the
Goth century.
"The social sciences have not been
as completely developed as the nat
ural sciences and as helpfully applied
and consequently we have not made
similar advance in methods of train
ing and handling men. Men and wom-
en- are today not adequately trained
for twentieth century civilization and
they are not working together effec-
lively and happily.
The typical American of today is
more often the descendent of steerage
passengers than of the pilgrim faith
ers," he added. "Our convention of
men, our methods of training men and
our methods of handling men are all
largely the traditions of the eighteenth
and nineteenth centuries.
"The traditional methods of handl-
ing men in America was to divide
them into two classes-the bosses and
the grudges and to treat them ac-
cordingly. Most Americans were
thouht to be bosses. The
social sciences teach US that Ameri-
cans of today cannot be deivided into
bosses and grudges; that such distinc-
tions are contrary to the facts and
that the diverse methods of handling
men based on such distinction, are
dangerous to the best interests of our
nation. .
sour inherited methods of training
and handling men fail to meet the
present needs. For guidance we must
understand the crowd and the mob.
We must think in groups, classes and
races. We must realize that in Amer
len today convention is more potent
than tradition"
