VELVET JoEs 1921 ALMANAC

Packed tight with useful, inter
esting information, Velvet Joe's AL
manac for 1921 is now being distrib-
uted. Velvet Joe, who is known to
millions through his genial philosophy
on pipe smoking, has established in
his Almanac Bureau Of Information
that is becoming a national institu-
ton.
While following, to some extent,
traditional methods in the preparation
Of almanacs, he has gone far afield
in his search for odd and useful facts.
For example, the reader is given the
last word in photography-the repro
duction Of pictures over telegraph
wires. -the-minute information
is offered on aerial passenger service
and the sending Of post Office material
via the air mail. =
Those interested in the Olympic
games will find carefully tabulated re-
suits Of the 1920 events, and, on the
same page, is listed the summary Of
Worlds Championship baseball series
since Boston beat Pittsburgh In 1908.
Quite timely, too, are the 1920 cen
sus figures Of every State and all
cities Of $4,000 poulation or over,
showing comparison with 1910 figures
and giving percentage Of increase and
decrease
Many important Government and
political statistics are included, espe-
cially informative being the plurality
and electoral votes Of the Harding
Cox campaign, by States. The elect
oral and popular vote for President
since 1910 is also listed.

The Brattleboro Athletics opened their
baseball season yesterday, playing the
Bellows Falls A. c. team on the Valley
fair grounds, and despite the fact that
the locals have had no practice this year
they displayed pretty good brand of ball,
taking the visitors into camp by a score of
Z to 8.
The Athletics put on the same lineup as
last season with the exception of Plumb
at first base for Taylor, who plans to be
out later, and Filion in the field. The
latter covered himself with glory, playing
a brand Of ball that is hard to beat, max
ing catches in the seventh and eighth
innings that brought forth the applause
of the spectators His catch in the sew
enth was a gem, taking the ball over his
shoulder just as he stepped in hole
and fell, turning a somersault but hang
ing on to the ball. His catch in the
eighth was a low line drive which he
picked of his shoe strings at top speed.
With a few workouts and some batting
practice the locals should be able to de-,
velOp a mighty strong team.
The opening session was a rather crude
affair so far as Bellows Falls was con-
cerned. Reil was wild and his support
wObbly, the locals sending 10 to bat in
the inning. Three singles coupled with
three free tickets, the same number of
errors, and a passed ball thrown in for
good measure, netted RrattlebOrO four
runs. which gave them a working lead of
three runs, Bellows Falls having secured
one run in their half on triple and a
double.
During the inning Bellows Falls
changed the lineup, Murphy going from
third to catch, Manning coming in from
right field to play third and b. Lawlor
from behind the bat to right field. With
this changed lineup Rel took a brace in
the second and except for scattering of
passes held the locals well in hand the
rest of the game with the exception of the
fourth inning. In that inning the Athlet-
les drew two passes, connected with two
singles which were nicely sandwiched
with an error by the shortstop. These
We're good for three runs, the last that
the locals could collect, as Reil pulled
seven strikeouts after this frame, making
a total of 1t for the game.
Bellows Falls drew one run in both the
fourth and seventh innings. but lacked the
necessary punch in pinches, collecting
only five hits from Deacon" Moores
siants. Although Moore was not in the
best of condition he pitched a pretty good
brand of ball.
All in all, for an opening game the
locals showed the ability and should be
able to furnish some classy ball before
the season is very old. The summary:

Cooper on Cotton
Governor of South Carolina Dis
cusses Acreage Reduction

Columbia. March 19.-"It some
comment on the weather is applicable
to cotton-everybody talks about it,
but. nothing is done, said Governor
Cooper in an interview on the cotton
situation. with especial reference to
the necessity for acreage reduction.
II am convinced that drastic cut in
acreage is necessary for our pros
pcrity." he continued. And this re-
duction must not be mere matter Of
propaganda. but an actual curtail-
ment, and O very large one, of the
amount Of cotton produced during
the year 1927. 1t will not suffice to
talk about 1t, something must be
done. ] know there are many who
VIII not agree to this, but it seems to
mo that we are face TO face with the
powerful law of supply and demand
and that law is operating. That's
Just our trouble; it is operating and
the supply OF cotton is greatly in
excess OF the present demand.
THE worlds consumption Of cot
ton can be calculated with fair ac-
curacy. Many such calculations, and
unbiased oncs, have been made. The
only conclusion to be reached is that
should the farmers Of the south pile
up another large cotton crop on top
OF the cotton now on hand, the re-
suit would be another year OF mca.rc
priccs for this, our most important
agricultural product. There is no
reason to look for any sudden fun
revival of industry i'm Europe, hence
tho European demand can scarcely
become sufficiently great to offset tho
effect Of the tremendous supply Of
cotton now existing.
II know that many farmers are
compelled to plant cotton. Some do
not know much about divcrsification.
Cnhappily. cotton is with us an n
