FARM BUREAU NOTES
BY Ira Drymon, County Agent
Farmers Picnic a Success

The Farmers Big Picnic, ua-
der the auspices of the Bates
County Farm Bureau, held
Thursday, August 18th, at
Whites Grove, far surpassed
anything Of it's kind ever held in
Bates county. The attendance
was estimated at 1000 persons.
I The program started with a
big basket dinner that lasted
from II 90 until 30 p. m. This
dinner was the kind that none
but Bates County can equal.
From ] 30 to 2 100 the Butler
Concert Band gave splendid
concert which brought the people
around the platform in readiness
for the afternoon speaking. Fol
lowing the concert Miss Julia NJ. |
ROCKFORD, Assistant to the Ex-
tension Director, of Columbia,
talked on Womens' Work in
Missouri. Miss Rocheford
stressed the point that women on
the farm must assert themselves
in the future more than they had
in the past. The farmer buys the
riding cultivator although it
costs $50 or $50 more and this i,
what the farmer should do, but
his wife should not have to carry
water into the house for the
whole family when running wat
er can be installed in the kitchen
for some 500. Miss Rocheford
also said that women would have
more time for educational pur-
poses and worth while reading il
they spent less time on fancy
work and party telephone lines.
After this talk Mr.. Ira Dry. I
mon, County Agent, gave Il re- I
port of work done in the county t
this past year as Il result of coum-- a.
ty agent work.

port, Miss Kathryn Roderirk.

Following the annual meeting
Mr.. John Boland, President of
the Missouri Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton, talked on the benefits Of
farm organizing and working to-
gether. Mr.. Boland stressed the
fact that organized capital does
not fight within itself, nor does
organized labor. They each work
together as a whole and in this
way get what they want.
Farmers organizations should
not fight each other, but should
all work together. Organized
farmers working together can be
the strongest organization in the
world.
During the afternoon; market
reports, ball game scores, and a
concert were heard over a radio
installed and operated by John
McNay. The performance was
well attended all afternoon.
Some of the features of the af-

WHITE Sox WIN FINAL
FROM WORLD CHAMPIONS

NEW YORK, April 1o.-Six won,
six lost. and one tie game was the
result OF the exhibition series be-
tween the Giants and White Sox
that was finished yesterday at the
Polo Grounds, the westerners win
ming by the close score OF 8 to 2.
The victory was in doubt up to
the time that SINNERS, the last
Giant at bat in the ninth inning.
struk out, as had Kelly, who pre-
ceded him.
SINNERS previously in the fifth
and seventh frames had tripled and
doubled. SINNERS, in fact, was the
batter Of the home team, and with
Meusel, Kelly and SINNERS at bat
in the final inning, the spectators
were in hopes OF a winning squirt
that would carry the Giants to the
lead. Wilkinson, who pitched the
full game, was equal to the emer-
gency and outguessed the Giants
heaviest hitters in the pinch.
The record OF even OF all for the
two teams was not entirely unsatis-
factory, as neither club has lost
any prestige. The crowd, though,
that numbered close TO 1900, were
Giant rooters almost to a man.
They were not entirely satisfied
that their fsvorite team met with
defeat.

NEW YORK, April 1O.-Two

happen In that time, from a decision
In a chess match to the payment OF
the tailor's bill. The Woolworth
tower. for example, can be com.
pletely demolished by a bomb in con-
sidersbly less than two minutes.

OF the major league ball clubs has
altered during recent weeks; the fact
Is mentioned for the sake of giving

Side of N'Yawk.
We do not refer to the potential
pennant contenders, although the
New York Yankees have been ASST
nine enough to date. On the con-
trary, our observation concerns a
pair OF clubs we picked for the sec

the Chicago White sox in the Ameri-
can.
Both have uncovered unsuspected

CARL MAYS MAY PITCH
OPENING CONTEST HERE

NEW YORK, April 1o.-If there
ever was any serious tnsurrection
In the ranks of the Yankees this
spring, II apparently has been
uuelled. Carl Mays, whose relations
with Manager Huggtns were highly
strained a few days ago, stepped
out yesterday afternoon at Ebbets
Field and held the Dodgers TO one
hit in the first seven innings of a
game that the Yankees won by a
score of 4 to o.
Whatever differnces Of opinion
Mays and his MANAGER may hold.
they are not going TO permit them
to interfere with the serious bust
ness of getting the Yankees away TO
fresh start. After yesterday q
game Higgins said that Mays would
pitch the opening championship
game for the Yankees at Washing
ton next wednesday.

Evers Believes Grifs
May Yet Triumph
In Flag Race

NEW YORK, April TO-
Washington" says Johpny
Evers, ais likely to win the
pennant in a year or two be-
cause Washington has more
youth than the other American
League clubs. The American
League now is where the Ma
tional League was a few years
back, has too many old players
and not enough young ones,
and for that reason / look for
the National League to have
the upper hand for the next
five years"
Evers cannot be charged with
prejudice in sizing up the clubs
as he is now an American
Lacquer with the White Sox,
after many years Of service in
the National League.

TRIES
SKILL AGAINST
GR|FFS TODAY
College First Sacker With II
Hits in 16 Times at Bat
Likely to Be Attraction.

Today Zeb Milan will give his
young men a workout against the
varsity nine from Georgetown, and
Ii is likely that before the last man
is out the fans will have had a
chance to look at several new
players.
Ossie Bluege, who is being groom.
ed to fill Roger Peckinpaugh's shoes
some day, will probably play a part
OF the game at shortstop, while
Bobby LaMotte is likely to do some
work at second or third.
Just which of the pitchers will be
sent against the collegians remains
to be seen. There is a chance that
"Slim" McGrew. the tall Texan, may
get a chance to show his stuff.
Georgetown has three capable
pitchers from whom to choose.
They are Sam Hyman, Mccarthy
and Art Reynolds. Unless John
O'Reilly is sadly mistaken, the Grtff-
men won't find the Hilltop hurlers
any cinch.
Joe sheedy, the smuggling first.
sacker. who has eleven hits in SIX
teen times at bat thus far this sea
son, is likely to attract some atten-
ton. He is said to be headed for a
big league trial before he quits play
ing ball.
Bill Kenyon, the football and base.
ball star, is captain OF the Hilltop
nine this Deason and is playing his
same steady game behind the bat.
Bill is so strong a batsman
that he is hitting in fourth place In
the batting order. Georgetown lis
expected to go to bat as follows: r.
Murphy, S.; Sheridan, RI; Sheedy,
h.; Kenyon, c.; e. Murphy, H.;
Florence. cf.; Adams or welch. 2b.;

10 iaSS forever.
So much for the records and the
record-holders. Zeb Milan will be
willing TO pass up all such individual
honors, II only his collection of
any other team in this league be-
tween Wednesday and next oc-
tober /.
Milan expects his pitching staff
to straighten itself out inside the
first month. II he then has five
pitchers capable OF finding the plate,
he will be satisfied, provided they
do so with their proper amount os
speed and curves.
There will be morning practice
every day while the Griffmen are at
home this spring. This will enable
Milan TO get added information about
some of his young pitchers and also
to develop the team play. The bats.
men will benefit. too, from the daily
workout. ..-....,.
The spring exhibition series with
the Boston Braves, starting at Tam
pa, Fla, on March Is, came to an
end yesterday. The next major lea
que opponent facing the Griffs win
be the New York Yankees, cham
pulOnb Vl idst season y pcnndnt race.
The Yankees come for four games
on their first visit to the Capital.
They will be followed by Connie
Msck's Philadelphia Athletes, who
open their four-game series next
Sunday. After these eight games
the Griffs viii make their first short
trip away from home, going TO New
York for four contests.
Tnpnarr0uy the Grtffpnar will tfu
rest before entering upon the sea
sons grind. Most of them are in
good physical condition. They have
all had the benfit OF the training
season in a warm climate. The! fall
ures will be dropped and the success
ful players vii complete the season
here.
Zeb Milan Is a veteran OF fourteen
major league campaigns. He knows
the rule of the game to be make
good or get out" He Is prepared to
follow that rule. knowing IL to be the
only way he can expect to achieve
results.
Only those players earnest in their
work and willing to hustle from the
first to last can hope to wear the
Washington uniform this season.
And Milan hopes that the end Of the
season will find him listed among the
successful leaders in the major
leagues.
