BUTLER, Aug 25.-As stimu-
Ius to dairying, poultry and hog
raising in Taylor county, three I'M
portant factors in diversified farm
ing, a number of business men
and farmers from Butler and vic
unity made a trip on Friday last
to the farm Of Messrs. G. R. Lowe
and H. E. Foster, near Buena Vista
where much valuable information
was obtained Some startling fig
ures were shown which gave con-
crete evidence that a non-remun-
erative cotton farm may be con-
verified into a well paying industry
and with a very small amount of
capital and little experience to be-
gin with, besides less work, small
amount of help and practically no
worry.
All expressed themselves as be-
ing highly pleased with the Cow,
hog and hen" program and resolved
to do their best in furthering its
interest in this section. There is
every indication to believe that
shipments. of cream and poultry
from Taylor county will increase
many fold for the next few months.
Farmers are learning by bitter ex-
perience that all cotton must 90.

The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1923-08-14

Professor Luckenbill is making
a record OF every word as it occurs
in remaining records. Since some
of these records vary in age as
much 5000 years, the words often
change radically in meaning dur
ing that period, Prof. LuckenbiH
said. Even English of only 600
years ago is hard to read, he added,
so that changes in Babylonian-
Assyrian of more than 5000 years
ago are much greater.
"All the museums in the world are
being ransacked for clay tablets
and other records of the old en-
pire," Prof. Luckerbill asserted.
by making available the history
of these ancient people, scholars
have been building up the story of
commerce for 5000 years. Most
of our business law comes from
the Babylonians. They used mar
riage licenses. notes, mortgages,
contracts, and most of our own
forms. From them we have dis
covered three great codes of law
which modern nations have been
using since.
when dictionary is made
available for scholars, the twilight
of the past is likely to be dispallei
and we shall know far more about
our own institutions. That is why
q ten-year task on a dead language
is worth the trouble and palms."

puzzling fadeaway and nice
change of pace. The slender young
ster, however, lacks fast ball.
Pruett's best fast ball is of medium
speed, just the hittable sort of de-
livery.
Pruett boasts a fadeaway that is
as hard to hit as was the fadeaway
delivery used by Mathewson. Few
left handlers have ever used the
fadeaway delivery, which naturally
makes that style all the more effec-
tive for Pruett.
But the fast ball is lacking, and
the opposing battcrs know it. Conse-
quently when Pruett pitches, the
opposing batters hug the plate,
knowing they have nothing to fear
from the fast one. If Pruett had a
good fast ball, such a practice would
be dangerous and wouldn't be in
dulged in.
Such a stance makes it easier to
hit Pruett's slow offerings, since the
batters know just what to expect. A
good fast ball would serve to act as
threat for Pruett. j
Lack of fast ball keeps him from
becoming star.
