New York, Oct. 15.-The 1921
world series ended Thursday, set new
financial and attendance records.
The total receipts for the eight
games were ssOo,233, contributed by
269,976 spectators.
This was S177,819 more than the

the 1919 series between Cincinnati
and Chicago. The attendance in
the series just closed was also 49,

which witnessed the memorable
Giants-Boston American play in
1912.
As result of the enormous gate
receipts all those who participate in
the sharing of the. funds will receive
more than any of their predecessors
in similar positions. The Giant play

of rs per cent of the players share
of the receipts for the first five
games, amounting to 131,635,
which, divided among some Is eligi-

$4,000 TEST ON CONVICT
Radium To Be Used in Treating Can
Ger on His Lip.

Distinguishing Sing attendants
reported today that John Duffy, a
prisoner convicted in Brooklyn,
was operated on in the prison hospi-
tai for the removal of cancer.
Duffy has been suffering from a
cancerous growth on the face. After
conference between DR.. Amos O.
Squire, head prison physician, and
DR.. Townsend, New York City
specialist, it was decided to cut
away the cancerous growth. Later
on Duffy will be treated with $10,-
900 worth of fadium owned by DR..
Squire, who in private practice is a
radium specialist.
Duffy has been in Sing Sing seven
months as result of being convicted
in Kings county of second degree as
sault. A few weeks after reaching
the prison a growth appeared on
Ducy's lip which developed into a
sore. DR.. Squire diagnosed it as a
cancer. BY using the surgeons
knife and the radium the doctors
are hopeful of saving Dufy's life.
His sentence has several more
months to run.

The owners of the two local clubs
however, are not permitted to retain

million dollars which appear at first
right to be theirs. The rules govern

that so per cent of each clubs share
for the first seven games shall be

DOUBT Of PROBE
INTO XII KLUX KLAN

Washington, Oct. 14.-William
Joseph Simmons, imperial wizard of
the Ku K1ux Kan, was prevented by
illness today from appearing before
a house committee for examination
by members as to activities of the or
der.
The imperial wizard collapsed
yesterday at the close of a five hours
statement and later was placed in
charge of a physician, who or rdered
him to stay in bed.
Announcement of Mr.. Simmons
illness was made by Chairman Camp
bell, who stated he had been advised
that the wizard was too i'll to appear.
DR.. w. C. Manning, the physician
attending Mr.. Simmons, reported
that he suffering from acute bron-
chitis and general exhaustion.
Chairman Campbell adjourned the
hearing after stating that DR.. Man.
ming had informed him Mr.. Sim
mons could not possibly appear ear
lier than Monday. Should his condi-
tion improve, however, the hearing
may be resumed tomorrow.
=
Doubt that a congressional inves-
tigation of the khan would be order
ed was expressed.
Supporters of the movement to
have congress delve into the affairs
and activities of the Klan will make
a final effort to prove three charges.
l. That the klan used the mails to
defraud.
2. That he khan had committed
overt acts against individuals and
melted riots.
3. That the khan had knowingly
evaded tax payments to the govern
ment
Members of Mr.. Simmons party
and persons who had assisted in the
investigation of the khan, expressed
the belief that the evidence present
ed thus far did not contain the foun-
dation for a probe by congress. Not
one witness had produced conclusive
evidence of violation of the law
against the khan, they held.
Mr.. Simmons admitted that his or
ganization had not paid income tax.
He explained that the $40 paid by
each klansan on joining is "a dona-
ton and is so designated in all the
records. When the income tax law
was enacted he said he conferred
with the internal revenue collector
in Atlanta and was told his organi-
zation was not subject to the act.

valuable results of interest to poul-
trymen have been obtained by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture in the experimental tests at the
government poultry farm, Beltsville,
Md, where different rations have been
fed to various groups of laying hens
for a period of eight years. At this
time, more than 1000 hens and pullets
are used in feeding trials of this kind.
The pens range in size from 80 to
so hens, all the fowls being ~trap-nested
during the period under test. During
the last three years, the mash which
has given the most uniform and best
production has consisted of O mixture
of 4 per cent bran, 4 per cent mid
dlings, 26 per cent meat scrap, and &c
per cent cornmeal. This mash was
the result Of experiments where the
hens were allowed to select their own
mash ingredients. When given free
choice of these various ingredients. the
fowls consumed the various ingredi-
ents in the above proportions. Sew
eral pens, both of Leghorns and Rhode
Island Reds, of 80 hens each have av-
ernged from 40 to 155 eggs apiece
where this mash has been fed. The
feeding mixture seems to be especial
ly adapted for Leghorns. although 1t
has also given good results with the
ReOs. The WyandOttes and Plymouth
Rocks are inclined to accumulate too
much fat when fed this mash, and one
somewhat lower in meat scrap content
gives better results when fed to these
two breeds.
The Wyandottes and Plymouth
Rocks maintained on the Beltsville
farm are large, standard-size fowls,
ana The tendency to take on fat OF
this Iaash probably did not occur in
the case Of smaller types of Plymouth
Rocks, such as commonly are found
on commercial poultry farms. Expert

scrap by 3 per cent and the cornmeal
advantage. The evidences are that
ground oats added TO the ration pro-
duces no beneficial results. 1t pays
to vary the proportion of grains in
the scratch mixture, from an ecOnom-
iCal standpoint, according to the mar
ket price Of these farm crops. At
present, a scratch mixture of three
parts cracked corn, two parts oats, and
one part wheat, by weight, Is used
with this mash.
In previous years fish meal has not
proved Il more profitable and praCti-
cal source OF protein in the mash than
meat scrap, but during the present
year the production has been very
good where the fish refuse has been
used, and as the price of this materi-
al has decreased, larger net incomes
result from its Use Sixty per cent
protein fish scrap now can be obtained
for from 81 to 50 per hundred pounds
cheaper than So per cent protein meat
scrap. 1nnumerable varieties Of fish
scrap have been fed and no harmful
effects have resulted from feeding
even fish scrap of varied compositions,
some being unusually rich in oil con-
tent. Tests in which only IS per
cent Of meat scrap was fed in the
mash have not resulted in as high
production with puilets as where 20
or % per cen Of meat scrap was used,
but with yearling hens the 16 per
cent meat scrap has given practically
as good production as the higher.
With the heavier breeds, it is advisa-
BILE to decrease the amount Of meat
scrap during the second year, as such
feeding tends to keep the fowls in
better breeding condition.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation | have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; c~orrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.l
A well-kept diary is the most in
teresting and valuable volume in its
owners library, and the determination
to maintain such a record frequently
is expressed in the form of a New
Years resolution. Unfortunately, how
ever, that is the first good inten-
ton" permitted to lapse, observations
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture have shown.
Valuable in the Future.
For the farmer, the diary will pre-
serve a record of farm happenings and
personal experiences which will be
valuable in the future conduct of his
business. If, when he finds his al
falfa field swarming with grasshoppers,
he can look back in his diary to a
summer 10 years before and find the
poisOn-bait formula that controlled the
insect then, he will save much valua-
bic time. He may wish to know the
exact location of a tile drain that was
laid down when he was a yOungster.
If the event was noted in his own, or
his fathers diary, a 10-minute perusal
will give him more definite Informal
ton than a days digging with ia
spade. There are dozens of farm prob
lens encountered every year that
might be solved more easily, If the
farmer had access to a complete
chronological history of his property.
The diary may be given a prominent
place in the bookkeeping records Of
the farm business. Generally speak
ing there are three purposes to be
served by farm accounts:
l. To determine the farm invest
ment, receipts, expenses, and the net
income of the business.
2, To furnish the net returns from
any individual farm enterprise and to
supply specific information as to its
details.
8. To obtain a memorandum of what
other people owe you and what you
owe them.
The blank forms necessary for q
simple accounting system can be
worked out by the farmer himself, or
he can apply a system recommended
by his county agent. He also can OBJ
tain information direct from the Of
fee of farm management and farm
economics, United States Department
OF Agriculture. The chief advantage
Of a farm accounting system. which
is a part of the farm diary, is in the
additional interest furnished by the
