Uncommon Sense Watching The Winning Players
BY JOHN BLAKE -, l o ..
BY JOHN BLAKE

TyHE baseball scout, sent out by the
i team owner to find new players, sits
quietly in the grand stand watching the
game.
He picks out particular player;
III the player repeatedly does stupid
things, the scout turns his attention
to another member of the team.
He is not looking merely for the man
who doesn't make any mistakes, but for
the man who not only makes the tewest
mistakes, but uses his head when there
is an opportunity.
USUALLY the scout leaves the game
- without finding any one worth
watching from day to day.. His repu
tation depends upon his picking q big
league player. And bfg league player
must deliver the goods, not once, but
right along. -
he comes back after time to study him
And presently, convinced that he is the
right sort, he reports that here Is man
for the manager to engage.
This Is done regularly in baseball, and
has been done for long time. Also
it is done in business more than you
suspect.
TyHE great corporation, in orderc to
l. continue to be great must con =
stantly recruit it's staff. II its stand :

to find. They do not, as n rule, come
in looking for jobs. So they must be
hunted out.
If an enterprise is particularly sue
cessful in q particular line, you may
be sure that its business rivals study
its personnel, and find out who is re-
sponsible. I

WANTED BY THE CONSTABLE

Several years ago, when / was
quite young girl, at my mothers
home in the country one evening we
saw the township constable coming
up our lane. My two sisters began
to get excited for fear my younger
brother had been into some mischief,
but l was quite calm and felt i'm
patient with them and told them to
just wait till they had something to
worry over.
Ny older brother talked to him
awhile and then came to the kitchen
door and told me | was the one who
was wanted.
The constable was bashful young
man, but managed to ask to take me
to an entertainment at our church.
l refused as politely rs could, but
being bashful myself l don't know
who was the more embarrassed.-Ex-

The non-co-operatOrs have placed
one issue and one only before the coun-
try-it is the choice between the rule
of law and the chaos of no law, says
the Times of India. There has not
been, there could not be any hesitation
In the action OF the government. They
must either pursue the policy they
have marked out for the protection Of
the citizen and maintenance OF law or
resign the government OF the country
to Mr.. Gsndhi and Mr.. Das; there is a
choice before the people of India and
that is between the ordered evolution
OF the Indian constitution and revolu-
ton. That the clear-cut and irrevo-
cable nature of this choice Is com
pletely understood Is unfortunately
not the case.

CARING FOR BREEDING FLOCK
II Fowls Are overrun With Lice or
Mites, Fertility Will BE Seri-
ously Affected.

The breeding flock should be
watched TO see that the fowls keep
In condition. II they are oyerrun with
lice or mites the fertility will be af-
fected seriously or destroyed. Care
Is to be used. too, to see that the male
doesn't get his comb or wattles frost
ed. II the ROSTERS comb or wattles
are frozen to any extent, his ability
MS breeder will be impaired, and
may not be recovered for several
weeks. When the weather is very
cold the males intended for breeding
should be placed ut night In box
or crate partly covered with bag or
cloth. II Is good idea, too. to ex-
anime his majesty occasionally at
night to see that his crop is full, and
that he is not going thin-if he runs
at large. BOOSTERS sometimes are so
gallant that they allow the hens to
eat all the food. with the result that
they get out of condition. II this hap
pens the rooster should be caught at
least once day and fed separately
from the hens.

ECONOMY IN PRODUCTION

Economy In production does not
mean neglect OF crop. II does mean
the exercise of good judgment In the
selection of the field, In the prepare
ton OF the seed bed, in seed selection,
in cultivation and in gathering the
crop. 1t is possible for farmer TO
spend too much labor on a crop, but
this mistake Is seldom made. More
often production cost is increased by
the cultivation of too large an acreage
and the consequent neglect of the es-
sentials necessary to large acre yields.
The man who devOtes time TO proper
blowing and narrowing. and who
spends money for good seed and fer
tllizer, more often has lower produc-
ton cost than the man who burries
with his blowing; who plants any kind
OF seed at hand and who lets nature
take its course without spending a
dollar to help her along. Conditions
which make possible large acre yield
are the same as help make quality of
product, and the larger the yield and
the better the quality, the lower the
cost OF production. This rule Is gen
eral, says Farm and Ranch. 1t is
proven by the exceptions to 1t.

GOVERNED BY STRICT RULES
Etiquette That Must Be Observed
When Calling on the "First Lady
Of the Land"

In an article published in the De-
lineator ON white House Parties"
Margaret Wade, dean of Washington
society editors, tells what one must
do if she wishes to call ON the wife
of the President Of the United
States.
"The procedure for the average
visitor is to leave a card at the big
front door," says this authority.
"Every card is supposed to be duly
catalogued and ultimately acknowl-
edged by an invitation to garden
party, reception, musicale or tea. In
vitations to dinner are decided by
official reasons, in which the invita-
ton seeks the guest.
Following the leaving of the
card or cards-one of her own and
two of her husbands, as he is sup
posed to be calling on the President
and Presidents wife-the visiting
lady goes home and writes a note to
the social secretary, or, if the ac-
quaintance warrants it, to the Presi-
dents wife, asking if she may have
the honor of calling in person.
"These written requests are rarely
denied, the custom of past admins
trations, as well as of today, being
to send an engraved card bearing the
seal of the United States and the
name of the Presidents wife"

NECESSITY THE MOTHER. ETC.

Little Virginia, aged three, of
South State avenue, is not to be nom
plused when caught doing what her
mother teaches her that she should
not do. Not long ago Virginia and
her Aunt B were visiting Vir-
ginia's grandparents. AT the dinner
table Virginia used the spoon as
long as she was being watched. When
Aunt BIS watchfulness returned
to the child after temporary abb
senee Virginia was using her fingers
with speed.
"You mustn't use your fingers"
Aunt B corrected. "But the
spoon is just simply worn out, Aunt
B." was the child's reply.-In-

A man living In a Western city OF
100000 people has figured out the fact
that all of the theaters In the entire
community won't hold one-tenth, or
$4,000 OF these citizens. He included
moving picture houses in his estimate
of the seating capacity of the theaters.
Then he collected statistics relating to
the dance-halls and discovered that
they won't accommodate more than TO-
900. He submits these figures TO prove
that folks to-day are not all spending
their time away from their homes. His
figures are interesting but unneces-

EAST INDIAN COTTON MILLS

Although the ancient handicrafts
are still carried on to some extent,
the most important hand industry in
India is cotton weaving. Power
mills, which were established by Eu-
ropeans, are now mostly owned by
natives. In 19ls-1s2o, there were
263 cotton mills working in British
India and native states. There were
76 jute mills, almost all being sit
uated in or near Calcutta; nine paper
mills; seven wooden mills, and a
number of other factories, besides
