In The Pltcher's Box

Written especially for the Boys and
Girls Newspaper by
Ge5y0s 4, Smith,
Of the Philadelphia National League
club.
Nearly every boy who knows any
thing at all about baseball wants TO
pitch When was a younssteT that
was one OF my fondest ambitions.
During my experience in the box !
have learned that there is much more
about pitching than there seems to be
to one who just watches. Most OF
this is to be learned only through
practice yet there are few sugges-
lions that prove valuable in getting
the best results from practice,
nix the calls
Don't always pitch the kind OF q
ball batter is weak on. He vii. soon
realize you know his weakness and be
looking for just that kind o. ball. Keep
him guessing by mixing them up.
When you think batter win bunt
give him a high bail They are harder
to bunt
When you get the count to two
strikes and three balls, go carefully.
But don't always pitch the next bell
fast and straight Curve It a little.
The batter usually looks Tor a straight
swift pitch.
Use 4 Fast Wln6up
A fast wiudup Is OF value in hiding
any signs that may help the opposing
team learn what you are about TO
Ditch. Get so you can hold the BAN
the same way for all your deliveries.
Arrange with your catcher to signal
to you when the runner is taking q
long lead of first. Develop 4 quick
throw to first base. II is necessary.
The pitcher should always back up
the inhelders on balls that have been
thrown in from the outGe!d. He should
cover first when the ball has been hit
to the first basemGn.

CHOOSING A CABINET.

III President elect Harding ap-
pointed all the men recommended
by high authority for his cabinet,
it wonld take a good sized hall to
Mold them. They might have to
hold meetings out of doors.
HE oll-time politicians idea
wes to use the cabinet appoint
ments to fatter the pride of States
and. sections and to take care of
rivals who might make trouble if
emitted. But the country in these
times demands that Government
be run more like q business con-
cern:
Many Presidents have been
clever in naming candidates that
would please the politicians. But
frequently they lacked in that es-
innate OF business ability that
vould secnre mea with gifts for
executive management.
The biggest problem thar Presi-
dent-elect Harding has to meet
during his four years, faces him
right now. 1t is to select as heads
ct departments men with enough
practical insight and constructive
genius to solve the difficulties of
this, reconstruction period which
followed the war and give the peo-
pie relief from the troubles which
grew ont of the war.

MRS. f. Il. CUFF
HAS PARALYSIS

Mrs. Cuff, wife of L. e. Cuff,

Liberty Road, about l mile north

SIS Saturday afternoon. Mrs, Cuff
was apparently in good health
previous to this, and the attack
came without warming.
Mr. Cuff got his arm fractured

THE CASH HABIT.

Many people who complain of
high prices and other business diff
ticuIties, help exsggerate these
conditions for everyone by their
persistent buying on a credit. The
credit habit adds to cost of living.
1t ties up the country's resources
aud is a drag on business.
Ii every person in our county
would pay his debts for home and
personal supplies, and hereafter
pay cash, it would release lot of
local money now heldup in credits.
The merchant who has TO borrow
heavily to Offset the debts the pub
lie owes him, could pay off these
loans. This would cut out the
charge for interest and bad debts
which he now has to add to the
price of his goods.
But even more important, it
would release many thousands of
dollars to be used right around
home for business enterprises,
building houses, helping farmers
finance their next crops.
Ii more money were available
for loans all over the country, in
terest rates would come down,
which would reduce one important
expense Of production. Mills and
factories that had slowed up on
account of high interest rates,
could 60 ahead with full force.
The business disturbances of
the past year were due primarily
to shortage of capital. While it
is true that the United States has
about one-fourth of the worlds
visible supply of gold, still there
was not enough money in the
country to do lis business on the
inflated price level.
Conditions are essentially sound,
since there is a good banking and
currency system, which protects
solvent business men, and stocks
of merchandise are not heavy.
Business could go ahead with
greater confidence if the people
will provide the loanable capital
needed for maximum production.
There ere two ways for such cap.
ital to be provided. First, every
one to save money and deposit il
in good banks. That is always
necessary. Second, everyone to
quit buying Oh q credit aud to pay
cash, SO as to release unnecessary
loans.
Considering how this would re.
lieve difficulties and thus reduce
business costs, it is a wonder peo.
Pile don't see it. When you make
the dollars work faster, you accom-.
plish as much as if there were
more of them.

1T ALL DEPENDS.

1t all depends on whose OK is
gored, as Noah Webster once said
in charming little story.
Farmer Johnsonius Smithfeld--
we'll call him that for short had
35 chickens he wanted to sell. He
hauled them to town, was offered
19 cents pound for them, refused
to take it and was hauling them
back home when he met this County
Agent, who advised him to ship
them to nearby city where, he
believed, they would bring 22 cents
pound or more.
Smith6eld said he never had
shipped any chickens, that he
didn't believe in new tangled ways
aud that he would take the chicken
back home. The County Agent
was 80 sure of his ground that he
offered to guarantee Smithfeld %
cents and on his personal respon-
sibility paid the money in advance
I-$32 g.
About a week later the County
Agent met Smit bfield and sug-
gested that they settle the chicken
deal.
"Well, how did it come out?"
inquired Smithfeld.
II lost S." said the County
Agent, "and, of course, You are
going to share it with me-"
"No, sir" SAID Snithfield, "it
turned ont exactly as | thought it
would, and | am>under no obliga-
tions to bear any of the loss"
"WelI," said the County Agent,
: | just wanted to see how you felt
aboutit. Here is the check $42.21,
which is 80 SO more than / paid
You. got % cents pound for
those chickens instead of % cents"
Now, to follow the sequence of
Mr.. Webster's story, we would
have to make Farmer Johnsonius
Smithfield demand the turning
over of that SO SO to him, but it
dida't come out that way. The
County Agent offered to do exactly
that thing, but Farmer Smithfield
said:
II won't have it that way; you
keep half the profit and I'll take
half. You have taught me lesson
that will be worth great deal
more than that to me and my neigh
bors whenever the local dealers
refuse to pay us what our produce
is worth"
That is not an imaginary story.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture vodches for it and
backs it up with the records of the
Office of Extension Work in the
South.

AROUND TOWN
...BY OBSERVER.

The tang of midwiuter always
seems to put the kick into those
social pleasures that languish dur
ing the heat of summer, and this
season of the year sees many jolly
gatherings in homes and lodge
rooms. Social life is a great game.
You would hardly know lot of
people while they are under the
spell of its transformations.
Some folks who are grabbed and
sour in their home surroundings,
will blossom forth with sparkle and
high spirits at a social function
In the family circle they may an
swer the home people with surly
grunt or a sneer. But take them
to an afternoon or evening party,
particularly If persons of the oppo-
site sex are present whom they wish
toplease, and they display brilliant
conversational powers. Their vi
vacity surprises those who know
their grumpy ways at home.
Boys who were too tired to bring
in wood, get water and feed the
stock, will travel many miles to be
at a pound supper or attend sing
ing. Girls whose head ached over
their Latin or arith metic, may be
able to remember long sequences
of cards at the rook table without
apparent effort.
The normal desire of the two
sexes for meeting place, is the
peculiar stimulant that accounts
for many changes of temper. You
could not defeat it by stopping the
card parties and doing away with
prayer meetings aud other forms
of church services, from which it
becomes necessary for the boys 10
see the girls home.
The fault of social life is that its
favors are unevenly distributed.
The popular girl with her pretty
face and agile tongue, gets so many
invitations that she may spoil her
youth with late hours and frivolous
ideas. Meanwhile many quiet aud
reserved young people, who need
social attrition to bring ont their
fac powers, miss the chance for
self development that wholesome
society should give to humanity.
Economy is a good thing in mu-
nicipal affairs, but you can carry
it too far. Many officials seem to
say that beauty is luxury and it
can't be afforded. Yet people who
go on that theory in looking after
their own places are not apt to see
their real estate advance much in
value. 1t is the same in improving
and developing q town.
1t has become settled policy in
many progressive towns TO try TO
pursuade every householder to i'm
prove the general appearance of
their premises by liberal use of
paint and whitewash, the planting
of shade trees, keeping yards and
alleys free of li:ter and rubbish
aud training their children to do
these things.
When not improved vacant lots
are maze more presentaOIe. Land
in the outskirts is taken for park
Ii taxes can't be afforded TO im-
prove it, community work days are
held and the people take hold and
make it scene of beauty. The
unused corners at street intelsec-
tions are made into little nests OF
gresnery. When buildings are
put up, good standards OF taste are
consulted.
lfa town will carry ont such Il
policy for period Of years, it will
acquire a charm far more attractive
.hau costly edificps. IT wouid {, in
