Rats are shrewd pests. You may
have them though you don't see them.
Clean up their breeding places as
much as possible and place the setting
hens In protected nests.
The advantages Of good standard
bred stock are being so rapidly recog-
nized that there is a keen demand in
every community for breeding stock
and Matching eggs from good stock.
The best way to avoid trouble In
the flock Of fowls In the winter Is by
having open-front houses. There will
be less dampness, fowls will be health
Ter and there is less risk Of frozen
combs.

personal items. The diary supplies
items Of supplementary interest which
usually are left out Of the accounts.
Without the diary, the task Of keep.
ing the books OF the farm business
becomes dry and uninteresting.
Only persistency and practice will
make one an adept at writing diary.
The only rule which can be followed
Is that the entries must be kept In
teresting, and in choosing an inter-
esting high light In the days work
one must have an eye to the future,
as well as to the present. It Is im-
portant to write the records regular
ly. Make entries in the diary every
evening at a certain time, and con-
slider it as a part Of the daily routine.
Once the owner commences to slight
his diary, its failure Is certain.
Best Materials Essential.
It never pays to use inferior mate
rails In the making OF a farm diary !;
the work is Important enough to merit
the use Of good tools. Good paper
and binding, a good pen, and Ink that
will not fade in a few years are es-
sentials in preparing volume that
will grow In value and interest as its
age increases. It Is mistake to
think small blank book is sufficient.
The limited size Of the sheets makes
writing cramped and uncomfortable
and detracts from the pleasure OF
writing up the record.
While a diary can hardly supply
the required amount Of bookkeeping
for large and extensive farm busi-
ness, 1t does record facts and figures
that are never preserved IN any other
form.

MISSISSIPPI WARRIOR
 COMPLAINT IS BEGUN
By AssocIated Press

New Orleans, March 21.-Hearing of the complaint of the Mississippi-Wa rior barge line against the present di- vision of rates with the railroads on freight handled jointly was begun by representative of the interstate com merce cimmission here today and is expected to occupy the entire week.
 Forty railroad officials and attor- neys from all over the country, repre- senting 500 lines, are in attendance to make answer to the charges and de- fend the present schedule. The barge line is representa- by Attorney Luther Walter of Chicago.
 Claiming direct interest in the con- troversy, in that the business of it's members would be affected by what ever decision is made, the Mississippi Valley association asked to be made partN to the proceedings with the right to produce and examine wit nesses. Similar petitions were also filed by the New Orleans joint traffic bureau and the Memphis traffic bu- reau. The requests have been granted.
 Theodore Brent federal manager of the barge line, was the first witness called. He had prepared his testimony in narrative form, giving complete history of the project since it's incep- tion in 1917.
 > In addition to its complaine of rate division, the barge line also alleges the railroads charge exorbitant rates for switching freight at the depots of the water route.

A BARON A DAY
By MARVIN MCCARTHY

Boss Moley has so many young pitchers at Redwood that it has become a difficult job to identify one from another, but there are certain qualifications about Henry Franke that make him comparatively easy to distinguish from the others.
 In the first place, he is a southpaw. Then, he is of only medium height Moley's pitchers. Franke is built along lines of solidity and strength. He is about 5 feet 10 in height and weighs around 165 pounds He has a chunky appearance. but he handles himself as well in the box as some of the slim in camp.
 CHICAGO SEMIPRO
 Franke is semi pro. hailing from Chicago. He is of the same flock as Johnny Kane, the infieldera who has been tearing up at Redwood lately.
 Henry Franke pitched in a semi-pr circuit of some 60-odd teams, all di- visions counted. He was about the entire, pitching staff for his team, it is said. As only Saturday and Sunday games were played in this league, it was comparatively easy task for him to do most of the pitching for his team. fF'ranke states that he pitched some thing like 20 games last season, win ming all but three or four of them.
 HIS FIRST PRO EXPERIENCE
 This springs try-out with the Barons is Franke's first experience in profes- sional baseball. He has the promise, but experience is one of the greatest requirements of Class pitcher

BENEFIT AFFAIR

The match was held in Madison Square Garden for the benefit of the suffering poor in Ireland( and it netted a sum estimated at more than s500oo. This did not include donations made by con- testants and a collection taken before the start.
 Morgan J. O'Brien. chairman of that fund committee, introduced Tex Rickard in the ring as "the best sportsman we ever have had in this community" !" Rlckard announced that more than SO,- GOO had been made for the fund, above expenses.
 Kid Norfolk, New York negro heavy weight, who knocked out Jack Ward Of Philadelphia In the third round of a To- round match, donated his share of the purse, $2,5oO Norfolk weighed 1S2 and Ward 203.
 Sammy Seiger of New York, who re- celved the judges decision over Artie Root of Cleveland after 1o-round bout, gave $500, which he was to have re- ceived for his share. Seiger weighed 190 IA and Root 127.
 At the end of the 10-round bout be- tween Jack Sharkey and Midget Smith, both of New York, the referee declared the bout a draw after the judges dis agreed Sharkey, who made the first ap- pearance since decisive defeats here two months ago. was one and half pounds over the 12O-pound limit and smith donated the $25O forfeit to the Irish fund. Smith weighed 11912.

men should improve some, however. Some trouble was experienced in con- structing the track, due to the fact that in encircling Munger field it in terfered with the drainage system of the latter. This problem was solved by running drain pipes under the track to drain the water from the field. This track, a present to the college from R. s. Munger, will not only be useful but ornamental as well. With bank on the outer edge and Nun ger field on the inside it presents a good appearance, and when tho shapely athletes of the Partners be- gin to cavort upon it in their thin raiment it is expected to improve con siderably in appearance.
 The track. when completed, will have straight stretch of 100 yards in front, of the stands for the sprint ing contests. As this is the only good outdoor track in the city, it is ex- pected that all the track contests held around here will be upon 1t, and es- pecially those having a number Of sprints and short runs. In addition to the Partners and the B. A. c. runners, this track is expected to provide ac- communications for the Simpson High school men who are out for track work.
 It is not known as yet whether simpson will enter team in the com ing high school track meet or not. However, the probability is that they will. With the advantage of having a good track to practice upon each day they should be able to develop a strong team. While none of them have started practicing as yet, sev4r eral are expected to do so within the next few days.

AUBURN BASEBALL NINE SWAMPS THE
 CINCINNATI TEAM

Auburn. March 21-(Specia1.)-By score of 10 to 1, the Auburn Tigers today put quick finish to the repu- tation of the University of Cincin- nati for. long line of unbroken vic- tories stretching over a period of two years. The Cincinnati team was out played from start to finish and in every particular of the game. Their pitcher, Langdon. was hit freely throughout the game, striking out only two men and giving four bases on balls. Gin cinnati's only run was made in the first inning, when Sharpe scored on a two base hit by Brockman Several times they had men who were left on bases at the close of an inning, but more frequently they walked out "a one, two three order. They were credited with at least five errors.
 On the other hand, Auburn played almost an errorless game. The whole team put more snap and action into their work than the Ohio men, bat ting Langdon freely, with a total Of seven hits. which included one home run, one three -bagger and one two- base hit. The particular star of the game was without doubt Charlie Ol- finger, who struck out seven men in lHe i've innings Whlcn ne occupied the mound, gave only two men bases on balls, went to bat three time and knocked out a triple and homer, bringing in two other runs with him. Another distinct feature of the game as the clever base running of Rich ardson and Scott, who If they ever reached first would bob up serenity on third before Langdon or Brockman discovered their absence.
 The thrill of the game were: First the home run hit out by Ollinger deep into center field, bringing in Brown and Gibson ahead of him at the end of-the second inning, and, second. the brilliant left-handed running catch of foul made by Brockman at first base.
 George Johnston also pitched an excel lent game, striking out four men in the two innings he played. Score: M

LADY ASTOR HAS VERY
 UNPLEASANT ENCOUNTER
Rv Associated Prea.

Plymouth. England March 21.-Iady Astor had an unpleasant encounter here Saturday when, as she was leaving her residence, a soldier halted her, made use of violent language and threatened to kill her. Realizing that display of fear might be followed by an att tack, Lady Astor sought for time and tried to get the mans name and ad- dress.
 Her tactics were so successful that the soldier started to run, with his questioner in close pursuit. The chase led first to some stables and then to a public house, the soldier finally be- ing caught and turned over to the po- lice.
 Lady Astor, however. expressed the wish that no proceedings be taken against the man.
