About a month or so ago Inc
Reds were going great and had
crawled mighty close to the Giants.
Pittsburgh was way up there in
u re standing of the clubs, and IT
,oked like free-for-all scramble
for the National League pennant.
From what / had heard imag
ned that the Reds had q better
pitching staff than the Giants and
on that account might get into the
world series. That's why we had
cen looking forward to that ex-
hibition game. The Giants, how
ever, went into Cincinnati on their
last Western trip and won five
straight: that just about spilled
the beans for Pat Moran and nls
team.

Wasn't Even Football.

IN HOSE Giants played St.
Louis and twenty of the Nc
Graws played seventeen of
the Cardinals. Why, friends, it
wasn't even football, and all the
fans thought it was a new civil
war between the North and the
South. Instead of seeing McGraw
coming out Of the box office,
they expected Robert E. Lee him
self.
The game went fifteen innings.
/ should say that was only a
conservative estimate. Some day
they are going to make a ball
game an annual affair to give the
lads time to get in their thou
sands of base knocks before win
ter sets in. In that contest, &C.
cording to the auditor OF the
New York Central, who kept tally
on how many pitchers were going
in and coming out, Stock, third
sacker for the Cards, was at bat
eight times. He had callouses on
his mitts when he went home that
night and had to hold his knife
with his feet while he ate his
potatoes and peas.
Mcusel, Stengel, Kelly and
Jackson went to the pan seven
times. When the game was call
ed on account of rheumatism,
those boys did not go to the club
house. No, they had formed a
vicious habit, and so they went
right. back at the plate and got
into a heated argument as TO
which was to be allowed to bat
first.

ENGLAND WOMAN TURNS OVER
 BIG FACTORY TO HER HELP

The "Gemeenschaps-Leidig" recog- nizes only one law-Christ's law of love- In contrast to the state and every other organization which, more or less, makes use of force and vio- lence, the "Gemeenschaps-Leidig' does not have as it's ground of unity the central organization, with branches which are governed from the center, but the local group, which, like a living cell, can in it's growth divide up into new cells as well as unite with other cells to a more complicated or ganism, in order to make possible such functions as concern all the cells together.
 The "Gemeenschaps-Leidig' be- lieves that the ground and other means of production ought to be the possession of the community in the widest sense.
 The practical consequences Of our withdrawal from the state we cannot fully see. We trust that Christ, Who up till now has led us step by step by His Spirit, will continue< to lead us as He Himself has promised-through His Spirit into all Truth.

IS AS EFFICIENT
 AS A FLIVVER

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan. 23.-Hen- ry Ford's dream of light, economi- cal locomotive has been realized by the Union Pacific System in a mon- This apparent paradox is ex- plained by the results of recent operative tests of giant No. 1000, the worlds largest passenger loco motive, which show, it has been an- nounced, that it's relative weight per horsepower compares favorably with that of one of Ford's own automo-
 piles.
 So successful has the mammoth proved in the tests pulling the crack Los Angeles Limited over the noun tains from Cheyenne that 54 dupli- cates of it have been ordered, ac cording to an announcement just made as part of one of the largest motive power improvement programs ever undertaken by an American rail road.
 Anybody who has ever tried push ing his flivver out of a mudpuddle would insist that it weighs ton to the horsepower, but not so. It weighs but SS pounds for every horsepower's kick under the hood, even though owners of the balky ones swear it is mulepower instead.
 The huge locomotive alongside which a flivver looks like some thing wound up with clockwork among a child's toys, weighs but 93.1 pounds for each of it's 3,650 horsepower in the oil-burning mod els. This is only 5.1 pounds per horsepower more than the Ford and it never has to be pushed.

Carey, of Wyoming, stood his own six foot stature up beside one of the monsters eight driving wheels he found that he didn't quite reach it's top and only served to make the giant mechanism above him loom larger Engineers and firemen are dwarfed to pygmy size when climb ing around oiling up the Antaeus of the hills, which is just short of 100 feet long and stands 15 feet ten inches from rails to the top of the smokestack.

SCOUTS IDEA OF SET
 RATIO HEIGHT, WEIGHT

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 23.-- Declaring that the American public have been hoodwinked far too long time by certain ra,Curate medical theories, Charles K. Taylor, director of the Department Of Standards ill an eastern university, informed his audience that, in his opinion, the theory that an individual should weigh a certain number of pounds, according to the height, is a flag rant untruth.
 Taylor, who is one of the mem bers of the faculty of Carteret Acad- emy, Orange, N. J., addressed seV- eral civic organizations here under the auspices of the Rotary Club.
 "The standard to go by is not one of weight but of health and of phy- sical development" Taylor said. If a child is healthy and is not one of those typically fat children, then that childs weight is correct regardless of what it may be-"
 In an article which Taylor wrote and which subsequently, was pub lished in a well-knoWn magazine, he points out that there is not one normal average child to use as a standard His contention is that it is just or normal and healthy for some children to be more slender than the average and for others to be of stocky build, as it is for others to be of the recognized" average.
 q am in favor of a medical eX- animation for every school cAlld, and these at regular stated inter yals," he added. "Then when there is evidence of real maluutritjon or underfeeding the physician can plan the proper diet, and thus materially aid the child in guarding against illness"

Dismiss Petition
Seeking Fare Cut
On Portland Railway

The Public Utilities Commission
Wednesday rendered a decision dis
missing the complaint of George +.
Is. Allen and other residents of Port
land against the cumberland County
Power and Light Company alleging
that the fares charged for transport
tation by the Portland Railroad
Company are unreasonable, dismiss
ing the complaint.
THE fares charged for transport
tation on the Portland Street Rail-
road at the present time are those
established by order of this commits
sion, dated July %. 1920" says the
decision of the Public Utilities Com
mission.
by that order the base ticket fare
for q single ride was increased from
two and one-third cents to two and
two-thirds cents and the cash fare
was increased from nine to ten
cents" continues the decision.
This schedule of rates was es-
tablished after investigation and a
public hearing and after a thorough
study and examination of the situa-
ton of the railroad company as it
existed at that time.
""Our accounting department after
the hearing made an examination of
the operating charges of the Cum
berland County Power and Light
Company relating to the operation
of the street railroad. This examin-
alton disclosed carefully kept rec
ords of operating expenses and indi-
Gated that the charges between
property and operating expenses had
been properly distributed.
ALTHOUGH some decrease has been
made in the cost of wages during
the last two years, no change in the
net revenue of the railroad depart
ment sufficient to justify a reduction
in fares was disclosed by the evil
dence offered at the hearing in this
case. On the contrary it appears
from the figures presented that a
reduction of even one half cent in
the present fares would result in a
failure on the part of the company
to earn sufficient revenue to pay it's
operating expenses, fixed charges
and dividend. if not in an actual de-
ficit so far as it's fixed charges and
operating expenses are concerned.
"Under these circumstances we
do not find at the present time any
such changed condition in the finan-
cial situation of the railroad depart
ment of the Cumberland County
Power and Light Company as would
warrant a reduction in fares"

Discuss Corn BOrer
At Auburn Meeting
Sweet Corn Growers

The annual meeting of the Maine
Sweet Corn Growers Association
was held at Auburn on Tuesday,
Jan. 2. interested delegates from five
counties being present. The regular
business of the annual meeting was
transacted and officers elected as
follows: President. H. A. Plummer:
E. c. Buzzell: secre-
tary-treasurer, c. H Crawford.
George E. Merrill and H. j. Mosher
were chosen to act with the above
mentioned officers as executive COM
mittee.
Following the business session, the
matter of the spread of the Euro
pean Corn Borer and its probable
effect upon the sweet corn industry
of Maine was taken up and discussed
from all angles. Commissioner of
Agriculture Washburn of Augusta
was present and opened the discus
sion. stating his conviction that
very real danger was threatening
our corn growing sections and ad-
vocating a careful cleaning up and
fall blowing of all corn and garden
land. The commissioner also in
formed the members present that
the State Department of Agriculture
was DESTROYS of rendering them ev-
cry possible service, not in debating
the Price they should seek for their
products, or the acreage to be plant
ed, but in the selection of seed and
cultural methods which should
bring about the very best quality of
corn to be delivered at the factories.
It was his opinion, he stated, that
the Association provided a most eff
Gent medium for checking the
spread of the borer, and he was
much gratified with the interest
taken by the members.
The delegates were privileged in
being able to learn much of the corn
borer situation directly from Mr.. L.
III. Worthley of the U. S. Bureau of
Entomology, who was present, and
who probably knows more of the
insect and its habits than any man
In the United States.
Several important resolutions were
adopted by the convention as fol-
lows:
RESOLVED. That the State Asso-
citation through its officers and mem
