STOLEN BASE LEADERS
Rival Keystone Sacker At Present Are Versatile Bag Pilferers in Big Leagues.

Chicago, Aug. At is a rather in- teresting fact that the two leading base stealers in the major leagues should be second basemen and both members of Chicago clubs.
 Eddie Collins. the veteran second sacker of the White Sox, is showing the way in the American league in the matter of thefts, while Grantham, recruit playing his first season as regular, leads the National league in base running.
 Incidentally if might be mentioned that the two players to press Collins and Grantham for the base stealing honors are outfielders. Johnny Mostil of the sox is hot on the trail of Col lins. while Max Carey of Pittsburgh is close on the heels of Grantham.
 For years Carey has been the pre- mier bass runner of the National league and he hoped to eventually erertat- n-4..hs--

In 73 innings Gehrig struck out 7S men. He held his opponents to 53 hits.
 Gehrig had two more years of var sty competition at Columbia when he entered the professional ranks. But now. of course, he's out for good. He was good football man, too, winning a backfield berth on the All-Metropo- titan eleven.
 Columbia has lost good man. It will be hard to replace him. But Gehrig's alma mater is sure he will follow in the footsteps of Eddie Col lins, George Columbia" Smith and other alumni who have won fame in the majors.
 And Huggins expects great things of him.

 What's the reason? Even Hornsby hasn't the slightest idea.
 T didn't change my style last year when I made Az home runs, simply took my usual healthy cut at the ball. I am doing the same this year.
 The only reason can offer for my falling off in the matter of hitting home runs, is simply because I am not hitting the ball as far. This perhaps is due to the fact that am not con- meeting with the ball as solidly. Making home run is like landing knockout punch, you must hit the right spot"

Amendment % Immigration Bill, Now

The population OF New Britain viii

fore congress. goes through, according
to Former Mayor George A. Quigley
The amendment now under consid-
Grafton would so change the present
bill as to permit the entrance into
this country of wives and families of
alien residents, regardless of the
quota from that country.
AS it now stands the bill bars from
entrance into the United States wives

the residents are citizens of this coun-
try. The United States, according to
Mr.. Quigley, wants the aliens to re-
main, and may permit them to bring
their wives and families here.
1t is thought this amendment would
help considerably in overcoming the
present trouble of admitting Assyrians
and Armenians who flee to this coun-
try from the Turks. only to be told at
Ellis Island that their country's quota
has been exceeded and they must re-
turn.

WHEAT FARMERS WORKING OUT THEIR
 OWN SALVATION.

Reduction of wheat acreage, diversified farming and cooperative marketing the keynotes of the resolutions adopted by the Wheat Producers Confer ence of the Southwest at Wichita July 16. The Southwestern wheat growers have put an organiza- ton field that is going to work for immediate results they declare well for methods to pre- vent distress to wheat growers in future years. At the close the sessions it stated that vigorous carrying out of the conferences program would long way toward putting the wheat industry on a sound basis before flies this year"
 The Wheat Producers Conference of the Southwest is composed Of representatives from the hard wheat States Kansas Colorado Missouri, Texas, Nebraska and Oklahoma These States represent S,2S6,000 flow in wheat in of the acreage of 1913 or eight eeyenths of the total of the United States in of that of 1913.
 No mention of government price fixing is made in subject of political action not mentioned in the debate. The hard wheat know that their only salvation is by economic means"
 Speedy curtailment of acreage, diversified farm ing. dairy and stock raising and growing of feed crops for their maintena arc adopted as basic principles. Organization of wheat growers into CO., operative units governed by valid, long term ketfng agreements is declared essential The organ zaion made permanent with board of not less than ten directors representing the farm organiza- tions and the State Board of Agriculture of the Der States.
 When farmers with individuals and those of any calling section, begin earnestly at work on their own problems, solution is net far off if they work hard enough and persist. The troubles of the farmers of the country not political, they are economic and the remedy lies in such procedure as they have started in the Southwest.

BE PRETTY! TURN
 GRAY HAIR DARK
Try Grandmother's Old Favorite Recipe of Sage Tea and
 Sulphur

Almost everyone Knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly com pounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded. streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make 1t at home, which Is mussy and troublesome. Nowa- days. by asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get a large bottle of this famous old recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients, at a small cost.
 Don't stay gray Try it No one can possibly tell that you dark ened your hair, as it does 1t so na- turally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw this through your hair, talk ing one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
