"FooLs OF FORTUNE"

In Fools of Fortune which will
be shown at the Peerless Theatre on
next Saturday night, the characters
are not figments of the authors i'm
agination but are people from real
life. This is a departure from the
usual method of creating a story, but
there is an excellent reason for it in
this instance.
W. C. Tuttle. who wrote the maya
zine story from which the photoplay
is taken, lived among the Westerners
he brings to the screen anddeclares
that but for changing their names
they are precisely the same men on
the screen as they are in real life.
The story in its entirety is. of course
fiction, as are the characters in the
Eastern episodes of "Fols of Fortune"
but the four cowboys. principals in
this most amusing and original story
are as If they themselves had stepped
from the Montana range to the silver
sheet.

SEED FROM BUSTED
FIELDS WILL BE ALRIGH'

Numerous inquiries are being re-
ceived at the Agricultural College re-
lative to the use of seed from fields
which were badly infected from rust
this season. There is no danger of
carrying rust infection to next years
crop by using seed from fields which
have rusted badly this year. There
is possibly some danger that the ger
mination of daily shriveled seed
from rusted fields would not be very
good. This can easily be determined
by simple termination test. While
plump kernals are to be preferred
for planting, the shriveled kernels will
usually make satisfactory seed and
may be used in preference to shipping
in plump seed and paying the extra
cost involyed.-Grant (Neb) Sentinel

Real Meaning OF Life.

ANY one can carry his burden, how

can do his work, however hard, for
one day. Anyone can live sweetly,
patiently. lovingly, purely, till the

life ever really means.-Robert Louis

Base Ball for Boys

Exeusi for by

your throwing arm in shape. Start
in by tossing a ball easily the first
day of practice and increase your
week, the kinks are worked out
Trying to condition your arm too
rapidly may ruin it for life, as far
as base ball is concerned.
Catching flies and grounders is a
feature of training which must be
given to both infielders and out
fielders. Such practice gives a sure
developed arm. Much of the sue
cess of your team depends on how
it trains before playing a single
game
Choose Good Captain.
I'm my first article, told Of the
manager and his duties. There mus,
also be a captain of your team and
he should be the best regular player
on the squad-the one with the
best base ball sense. 1t is his duty
to direct practice. see that condition
ing rules are followed, and keep the
boys working together.
One good exercise for the captain
to give the team is what big leaguers
know as the pepper game" This Is
played by four or flve players who
stand twenty-five feet from a batter
who knocks them the ball in turn
The ball Is batted Snd tossed around
as rapidly as possible. The game
must be played fast. 1t is good fun
in addition to being good fielding
practice.

No Hits! No Runs!

For steadying and helping
young pitchers. Ray Schalk Is
one of the greatest catchers
that ever lived.
At the beginning Of the 1922
season Charles Robertson, an
unknown new pitcher on the
staff Of the White SoX. startled
the base ball world by pitching
against Detroit. the heaviest
hitting team of the year. no.
hit, no-run game in which not
even one man reached first
base.
This was all tho more re-
markable because Robertson
had never pitched against De-
troit before and didn't know
the weaknesses of the various
batters. 1t was Ray Schalk
that made It possible for Rob-
ertson to secure this unique
victory. OF course. Robertson
hal perfect control. but Schalk
told him what balls to pitch
and exactly where to pitch
them to each batter.
No team in base ball has
been more successful in devel-
oping new pitchers than Chi
cago White Sox. Ray Schalk
behind the bat has been ono OF
the biggest factors In this ac-
complishment.
