All big league managers have tina
problem to solve. Now and then il
takes about three years to achieve
the desired results. The champion
ship teams of 1922 had two infielders
who have been in process of develop
ment for more years than one. 1t
was the good fortune of one of them
"to play the greatest game of his
life" in 1922. Ty Cobb called atten
tion to this and suggested that II

might have been another finish in the

H sideration should be given to

r. sideration should be given to
i placing this defense. If
your players stand too tar
back, the opposition is apt to open
up with long shots and score over
their heads. If they stand too far
forward, the secondary defense is
often pulled too far out from the
basket. This permits an opponent
10 slip down the side lines and cut
in for an open shot. Work this
matter out with your material, as
there is no fixed rule. But be sure
TO have your players cover properly.
Staying with an opponent does
not mean that the rival is to be
chased all around. 1t does mean
staying in such a position rela-
tive to him that you will be able
20 intercept passes to him or keep
him from shooting, starting a

Cuckoo Lay. Smallest Eaa.

The ostrich, of all extant birds, lays
the largest egg In actual dimensions.
Relatively to Its size, however, the
kiwi, strange wingless New Zealand
species, is the champion, with an egg
not less than five inches long, al
though the extreme length Of the bird
itself Is only % inches.
The smallest birds eggs are those
of the minuter species Of humming
birds Nevertheless, the cuckoo lays
the relatively smallest egg. Though
the Jackdaw and tho cuckoo are Of
the same size, the formers egg IL i've
or six times larger than the latters.
The fact that the cuckoo Is accus-
toned to deposit it's eggs In the nests
of other birds, usually much smaller
than Itself, doubtless accounts for
this phenomenon.

.Ths Grace Of God"

Grace of God is an expression from
the writings Of ST. Paul, who ire
uuently used the term grace In the
sense of a gift which enables those
who have it to do that which they
could not do without it. The Church
of England and the Protestant Epis-
copal church in the United States
teach that grace is the assistance
given by God to those who believe IN
Him. 80 that they may please Him
and keep His commandments. Inc
Roman Catholic church teaches that
for all acts conducive to salvation tne
inner grace of the Holy Spirit Is nee
essary. .-- -. ----...

FALLON FIRE Law
Penalties for Setting Fires Out

the division of the state of Idaho

mentsof fire wardens for the variou:
districts charged with the duties o.
!. enforcing the provisions Of the law
( and in preventing and suppressine
any fires that may occur.
Z; Sece COG of the Fallon fire law,
reads:
"The period from June to
: October I, in each year shall be
known as the closed season, during
which time it shall be unlawful for
any campers, farmer, logger or
other individual, firm or corpora
tion to set out or cause to be set
out fires in slashings,
down or fallen timber, or
on timber lands or in the vicinity
of grain fields, for the purpose Of
clearing lands of brush, grass or
other infammabIe material without
first obtaining permit in ~riting,
or print, from the fire warden of
the district as provided in Sec.
1909 of this act, and at no time
shall any fire be set out when wind
is blowing to such an extent as to
cause any danger of the same get

setting out such fire, or without
sufficient help present to control
the same"
"Whoever shall willfully set on
fire, or cause to be set on fire any
timber, underbrush or grass upon

suffer fire to burn unattended near
any timber or other inhamable
material, shall be fined not more
than IS, 900 or imprisoned not

GET ON CASH BASIS
Means Urges Farmers to Seek
Way to Success.

Boise, Idaho. = "The solution
for the problems of the Idaho
farmers is to get upon a cash
basis, says Mark A. Means, state
commissioner of agriculture. 81
realize that such suggestion is
easier said than done and it may
seem like strange theory at this
time when so many of the farmers
are loaded down with heavy in
debtedness and struggling to get
back upon their feet financially.
But it can be attained if the
farmers will raise variety of crops
so that they will always have
something to market.
"The great trouble in the past
has been that we have been too
much of one crop state. In the
hope of making a big return we
have rushed heavily into one crop
or another and have neglected to
put out an anchor by diversifying
our crops so that we can always
have something to sell. / feel that
another mistake has been made in
trying to hold our crops too long
in hope of higher market. My
theory in operating my farms has
always been to sell my stuff when
it was ready and get the money. 1t
is too risky to speculate on hopes
for higher markets. BY getting my
money l was able TO pay cash Tor
my purchases and was not: eaten
up by interest charges and could
get whatever advantage there was
in the cash price.
"Idaho is coming back strong.
We have the soil and the resources
that will bring great production
but we will have to get down TO
smaller acreage, diversified crops
and farm the year around. We
ought to have silo for every auto
mobile in the state and a cream
station for every gasoline station.
When we can always have little
something on the farm to sell and
will sell it when it is ready for
market we will have the money to
get on cash basis and prosperity
will be ours.
"There is only one time when 1t
might be better to hold for a time
than to sell when the crop is ready
and that is when the price offered
is very near the cost of production.
If there is profit to be had it is
better to take it than to hold tor
possibly higher profit and be eaten
up by shrinkage and interest.
81 do not believe in preaching
or trying to farm by theory but
these are fundamentals of success.
Own what you have instead of let
ting some other fellow have the
big interest in it. When we get on
a cash basis we can do that"

ONION Is EFFECTIVE
CURE FOR PNEUMONIA
Simple Remedy Formulated Many
Years Ago Is Unearthed.

The old argument as to whether the
onion is an undesirable citizen seems
likely to be decided In the negative,
now that somebody has discovered that
a diabetes cure turks somewhere
alongside the smell. The onion has
other good qualities. II is effective In
curing or preventing pneumonia, said
the health board Of Washington, N. j.
The formula. as 1t appeared in the
papers of Washington, Is as follows:
Take six to ten onions, according
TO size, and chop fine, put In a large
spider owe a hot fire, then add the
same quantity Of rye meal and vinegar,
enough to form a thick paste. In the
meanwhile stir It thoroughly, letting II
simmer five or ten minutes. Then put
In a cotton bag large enough to cover
the lungs and apply to chest as hot as
patient can bear. In about ten min
utes apply another. and thus contiSue

few hours the patient will be u Of
danger. This simple remedy has never
failed to cure this too-often fatal NAL.
ady. Usually three or four applica-
tons will be sufficient, but continue
always until the p~erspiration starts
freely from the chest. This remedy

nown by simple remedies"
