HUNGARY: HUMBLED AND
ISOLATED

Hungary, cut practically 10 half Its
former size by the Treaty OF Versailles,
and now disassociated from Austria
and having no alliance with other
neighbors. is peopled by race IN
usual in many ways. according to the
following communication to the Ma

Pastoral Hungary has features all

OF the Great Plain in the region Of
the Hortobagy. There is the genu-

delight in lust of life and rush Of

KiACHOW: THE FIUME

KiachOw, China, was seized by Ger

japanese when the latter entered the
World war In 1914. It's permanent
disposition has been the subject of

friendship with both China and ia

 for Mays and Hoyt. Give Shawkey three runs and a safe passage beyond the fourth inning and he will be hard to beat.
 Funny thing about this series. The forecasters figured every thing on the dope and evolved notions that the Yankees would win their games by big scores and that the Giants would hit American League, pitching. The Giants fwere rated as. better fielders and base runners That kind of ex- porting can now: be tossed into the ash can. = = t
 Pitching, not hitting, is the keynote of this series. Nehf and Douglas in defeat. lose little by comparison with "heft'' of the two: batting orders is counting. So far the Giants have not uncovered a good punch We call ! that good pitching, not poor hitting i Nehf lost a three hit performances yesterday. That was tough break But it would have been tougher one if Hoyt had blown two game. Maybe this is the day the sluggers l who has had his good and bad days. The Yankees think they can possibly l bunt him out of the box On the other ! hand, Shawkey in the last few weeks has not displayed the control that made him so effective when combined with his pitching repertoire and sum- ming.
 we look forward to a sharp break in this third game and an outbreak of heavy hitting. If the Tanks do the | bonn barding the cause of the Giants is well nigh hopeless. If the Giants slaughter Yankee pitching their sink ing morale will be re-established- It is more unlikely that the series will get good pitching all around for an- other day.
 Bob Gilks, veteran scout for the | Yanke ees, is shrewd observer. After the first game Gilks made a remark that gets weightier the longer you hear it.
 .Td be willing to gamble a seasons salary said Gilks, that the Tanks won't face any better pitching than Douglas handed them-
 Huggins of course, does the pick ing, but members of his kitchen cabi- net say there is no doubt he will start Shawkey today. In fact, he has a promise to make good now that the would be a shame to keep chap like Shawkey the bench at this time Next to Mays he was the best winner for the Yankees this season.

FEEL MEETING
 WILL DISCUSS
 DEBT QUESTION

Washington, Oct. 7 - Despite the known opposition of President Hard ing and Secretary of State Hughes, the belief is growing in Washington that it will be impossible to keep out of the forthcoming conference the question of Europe's paying to the United States the $10.000, ,00O, 900 borrowed during the war.
 President Harding and Secretary of State Hughes do not want to see the debt question interiected into the con- ference. They believe that the con- ference has more chance of success if it is confined to the primary purposes for which it was called-limitation of armament and settlement of contro- versies in the Pacific and Far East. They do not want to see the confer ence stray off the main paths fear ing that if it does there is danger of too much discussion of many world war ills and too little definite accom- pliShment

teen-year7old youngster, saved the life
of a woman not long ago by his
prompt and courageous action. The

see the other until it was almost up
on her. She was paralyzed with
fright as the laundering express bore
down upon her. This was the mo-

was on the Spot, an instant before the
train was. He leaped onto the track

SCOUTS FOR FORESTRY.

Boy scouts Of Comanche county,
Oklahoma, are going in extensively
for forestry work. At the suggestion
of the forest supervisor of the Wach-
ita national forest, Frank Rush, the
local chamber of commerce of Law
ton, gave a free nursery site and pro-
wided enough money to stock it with
seed. Boy scouts did the planting I'M
der the supervision of Mr.. Rush, and
have several thousand seedlings which
are TO be distributed free among the
boys and girls of the county. Several
hundred trees will be planted this
spring in Oklahoma City, Atlus, Okla,
and Wichita Falls, Texas, from seed
iings supplied by the Lawton scouts.
Supervisor Rush is very enthusiastic
about the plan and believes that the
boy scouts can be a great factor in
starting a movement for foresting the
barren plains of the southwest.

When the garden crops have reached

There are times in late summer and

Free range enables growing chick

chickens therefore require less grain

in confinement during spring and early
summer.
