 100 Percent
By Tad

Paddy Connor, Albany manag- CT, is s'within the Iaw,'' when he places the blame on Tough Luck for the slump of the Law makers. Four regulars on the New York team are out of action owing to injuries-Van Dyke, heavy hitting outfielder, pitcher Herbs and inffeIders Donahue and Tamm.
 In addition, the team is forced to travel in autObuseS, which the players are Souring on. The AL bany team left the home burg at 7 a. m. yesterday, arriving here at 1880, yet they played alright ball with the exception of the sixth inning, when the DerbieS put the game on ice by scoring six runs.
 Paddy is justified in his bark ingS during irritable periods.

29.9 PER CENT OF u. S.
POPULATION ON FARMS

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The farm
population of the United State Jan.
l, 1920, was 31,614,269, or 29.9 per
cent of the total population Of the
country, according to returns Of the
last census announced Monday by the
census bureau.
Of this number 81 ,35O,64O were emu
merated in rural territory and 255,629
on farms located within the limits of
cities and other incorporated commu-
mites having $500 inhabitants or
more.
The total farm population, which
for the first time was enumerated
separately from the rural population
as a whole, and, therefore, has no
comparative figure in the preceding
census, amounted to 81 per cent of the
rural population, which includes resi-
dents of incorporated cities and vii
lagos having fewer than $500 inhabi-
tants, unincorporated hamlets, mining
regions and other areas not devoted
to agriculture.

POTOSI SIGNERS HEAR
CHAUTAUQUA AFTERMATH

Some forty Potosi people who in
1917 signed as guarartors for the
Acme Chautauqua are co-defendants
in a suit brought by the company to
recover $500 claimed as loss through
showing chautauqua in the village
that year.
OF the signers at the time one is
dead and several have moved away.
Others, it is said, are financially I'M
able to assume a proportion of the
loss and the burden if one is assessed
will fall on the more prosperous ones,
pro rata.
The slgners for 1917 claim that the
chautauqua was allowed to come into
the village upon a verbal promise that
children would not be permitted and
the company would stand the loss if
any occurred. This proviso was made
on account of an epidemic Of infantile
paralysis and recommendation from
the state board of health that the
chautauqua be not held. No record
was kept of the companys receipts
during the week.
R. NJ Orchard of Lancaster, repre-
sents the Acme company while Bren-
nan & Carthew have been retained by
the co-defendants
The case arouses a good deal of in
terest on account of the methods used
by chautauqua companies in getting
signatures and their methods of do
ing business which have aroused
good deal Of adverse criticism.

BATHTUBS FOR HOGS
LATEST FARM STYLE

GALENA, Ill.-Now comes the bath
tub for hogs. 1t is advocated by the
farm bureau of 10 Daviess county.
The hog must be kept sanitary, and
the only way to do it is to build him a
tub and let him wash.
Of course, it will not be the white
porcelain, Immediately clean article
of furniture to be found in modern
dwelling houses.
The necrobacillosis in hogs, other
wise known as sniffles, bull nose, can
ker, sore mouth and skin disease, has
prompted the farmers of 10 Daviess
county to think of the bath.
ct has been found, says the bureau
publication, that bathtub made of
planks, eight feet long. four feet wide
and one foot deep is good size. Place
if in the shade, fill it half full OF
water, add one pint of coal tar dip as
a disinfectant and tablespoon OF
crude oil on top. This bath can be
cleaned out and renewed frequently.
ga sanitary bath has been found to
prevent these hog troubles from pro-
crossing from one stage to another in
their life history"
