FARMERS UNITED
In MOVE TO FOIL
COAL-RAIL STRIKE
Oranges Warned by Ma
tiOnal Head of Peril
To Agriculture.

The farmers. who are beginning
to reap the benefits of returning
prosperity, are alarmed by the pos
sibility Of a coal and rail strike.
Such a strike would paralyze in
dustry and agriculture in the
planting season and halt the prog
ress of readjustment from wartime
economic conditions.
S. ]. Lowell. master of the Ma
tional Grange, with a membership
of 100000 farmers, has addressed
an appeal to the 5000 local oranges
to be read at their meetings
throughout the country this week
urging them to mobilize their in
f1uence in the molding of public
opinion into a universal demand for
the settlement of the coal mine
wage question without resort to a
strike.

the use of the strike weapon. and

Davis Seeks Conferenee.
Meanwhile Secretary of Labor
Davis is continuing his endeavOr to
bring about a conference of the
miners and operators. as is provided
by their existing agreement. but
said yesterday he is not prepared
to state what progress he has made.
He thinks that the telegraphic
correspondence between President
Lewis. of the Mine Workers, and
President Farington. of the Illinois
union, indicates there will be no
move to secure separate State
agreements in the central competI-
tive field.
Production has jumped 40 per
cent in the bituminous fields. there
having been an increase of 500,0 900
tons daily in the last seven weeks,
nearly all of which is going into
storage along with the surplus OF
50.O00.000 tons on January 1 last.
The movement of the National
Grange to consolidate public opin-
ion against a strike has been in
dorsed by Senators McNary. Keyes.
Fernald, Page, Moses, Willis and
Poindexter.
Warning TO Oranges.
The appeal TO the oranges by Ma
tionaI Master Lowell follows IN
part:
"If a coal strike takes place as
seems possible in April, the pro-
duction of the fuel. upon which the
prosperity and we'll being of mil
lions depend. will cease. Although
IL is claimed that coal enough to
last for a month or more is now
above ground, any stoppage of pro-
duction obviously will result in
higher prices in the near future.
II railroad workers. strike. the
transportation upon which the food
CT millions depend will stop.
"A railroad strike now means
farmers products remaining unsold
and spelling in his barns. And that
may meap famine, suffering and
perhaps death in the cities. 1t
means farm supplies piled up in
railroad yards while fields wait for
seeds. fertilizer and machinery nee.
essary to make them productive.
I'VE are doing our part and 1t is
not unfair for us to demand that
both capital and labor do theirs.
Whatever differences may exist be-
tween them must be adjusted with

HITS CENTURY MARK

NEW YORK June 3O-Rogers
Hornsby. Cardinal second base
man, has hit the century. mark by
making hits in a game from which
st. Louis emerged victorious over
Pittsburgh s to 5. He is the sec
ond player in the majors and the
first in the National League to en-
ter that field, George Sisler of the
st. Louis Browns preceding him.
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1922-06-30
Records

Last season aside from leading
the National League in hitting,
Hornsby recorded two other feats
OF swat.
He broke the record for the
most extra long hits during sea-
sons play. Scattered through his
1921 base hits were A two-bag-
gers, 16 three-baggers and 81 home
runs, or a total of So extra base
hits. Likewise, he, broke the most
total bases for the season with a
mark OF 37S
Naturally Hornsby hopes to
again lead the National League
batters. He certainly looms up as
the one best bet for that honor.
However since home-run hitting
has become the vogue in baseball.
Hornsby has ambitions in that di-
rection. While he doesn't hope to
crack the mark set by Babe Ruth
at SO, he has designs on the Ma
tional League Here is the way he
puts It:
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1922-06-30

Rogers Hornsby of the St. Louis
Cardinals is a remarkable bali
player. @@
AS matter OF fact. in Hornsby
and Sisler ST Louis boasts of two
OF the greatest ball players of all
time. If there is one thing that
either Of these two sars lack. it is
color. They do their work in q
clean-cut, decisive manner without
any great f1ourishes. For that rea-
son they do not, get the publicity
that the more temperamental stars
do.
However, if was a manager,
YOU could give me players of the
Sisler-H ornsby type. While they
possibly are not the box office at
fractions as are the stars with
more color they produce results on
the ball field and in baseball re-
suits count.
In 1920 Rogers Hornsby led the
National League in hitting with
an average. OF $40. Last year he
repeated with an average of .397.
There are many who contend
that no right-handed hitter in
either major league drives the ball
with the force OF Hornsby. Amer
lean League supporters, however
will take exception to this, and
offer Harry Hei1man as Exhibit A
to prove their contention
Hornsby's mark of 1897 last year
is the highest average totalel by
any National League player since
1899 when Ed Delehanty. then
with Philadelphia. batted .4oS.

she was telling this as good joke.
II wouldn't want that kind where
one goes one way and the other the
other way. And wouldn't want to
be known as wife because I was
quarreling with my husband.
"You know how you hear folks say

"And you won't have it, little girl"
Bill said. "Pm for your kind Of ro-

And as Rosalind listened to her
