Players of semipro ball as well

weird and wonderful things and
among the many wonders they some
times execute is manipulation of the

matter in clear light. incidentally

Sell Hides Promptly

After country hides and skins
have been properly and securely
bundled and tagged, ship them to
market without delay, advises the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. Do not let the bundle re-
ma in the sun, drafts, or water, or
against rusty of corroding metals.
Promptness in shipping and delivery
is always advisable, but applies par
cu'arly to sheepskins. They heat
rapidly after being bundled, ana in
hot weather especially must reach
heir destination quickly.
Hides and skins should be shipped
as directly as is practicable and eco
nomical to reliable dealers who sell
= irect to tanners, thus eliminating
unnecessary middlemen or agents.
Repeated handling tends to reduce
the quality of hides and skins. For
most farmers, ranchers and small
butchers it would be desirable if they
could dispose of their hides and skins
after removal, without
sailing and curing them, but tbs is
generally impracticable, since only

by Miss Vernona Pike, sister of the
bride, and proceeded to an arch Of
evergreen in the lty window of the

THE ONLY MAN WHO
CAN STOP WARS

The science Of biology proves that
man is fighting animal. We are sor-
ry for that, but we didn't make biol
ogy. On the other hand. we are among
those who still hope mankind will
some day live at peace.
Now there is the president Of the
international Machinists Union, w. H.
Johnson, who has called on the metal
workers Of the world to refuse to
manufacture arms and ammunition
and thus put an end to all wars.
1t will be painful news to Mr.. john
son to hear that war Is not at all de-
pendent on the metal workers. Thou

Johnson--or before the Krupps, or be-
fore steel, men made war very success
fully without guns. or powder, or I.
N. T., or even swords. The sling, the
stone hatchet, the bow and the simple
wooden club were once very efficient
killers.
The truth is that the most horrible
war ever waged could be staged today
without a battleship. or a cannon, or
, a rifle or pistol--and even without an
ounce Of powder. 1t would not be
necessary for a single member of the
proletariat to take hand in the fac

would be waged with airplanes and the
ammunition would be deadly vapors

Undoubtedly the activity during the
first part of 1920 resulted in transac-

showing despite the lessened trade in
the latter part of the year. Why is it,
however, that with transactions for
the entire year reaching volume that
would have resulted in even an appre-

perity enjoyed by the industry in 1919
or 1918 or any year in the past two

panies, even reorganization for others
and general anxiety throughout the
industry? Have automobile plants
been so multiplied and the collective
capital devoted to the entire industry
heen so expanded that a business
