LEFT VERSUS RIGHT
 AS GOOD SLUGGERS
In Recent Years SauthpaW Bat. terS Have Come to Fore

Is the left-handed batsman more consistent in his work than his brother right handler?
 A perusal of the major league bat. ting records would make it seem so Left handlers have been far more fire. ousnt in winning the batting cham pionships.
 For years the right handler had been in the eclipse as batting champion Only in the last four years has the left handler been pushed into the back ground.
 Larry Lajoie, right handler, won the American league championship fin 1905. Since that time Harry Heilmann ia the only right handler to break into the championship spotlight.
 Ty Cobb, famed star of the Detroit , Tygers, has accounted for an even dozen winnings. He showed the way for nine consecutive years. 1907 to 1916. Then after losing out to Iris Speaker. won three more in a row.
 Rogers Hornsby of the St. Louis Cardinals started the comeback of tho right handlers in the National league. He took down the honors in 1919 and has turned the trick four times in a row.
 In winning the National league bat ting championship for four consecu- tive years, Hornsby tics the National league record held by Hans Wagner.
 Inspired by the work of Hornsby, Harry Heilmann. noted slugger of the Detroit Tygers, has won two out of < the last three swat titles in the Amer ican league.
 Why has the left handler been far more consistent than the right handler in taking down the big league batting honors?
 Walter Johnson, famous pitcher of the Washington Nationals, once gave me a pretty good reason for the ap- parent superiority of the left handler ss n champion.
 ''rhe left handler as a rule plays more baseball at the plate" says Johnson, "he makes pitching tough CT job.
 The left-handcd hitters seem to walt you out more, have . penchant for picking on the cripple, mix up their style, seek to outguess you.
 Tn addition, n majority of them are fast and try to take advantage Of their step nearer first because of their po- sition in the batter's box"
 Has the lively ball played a part in tAs revival of the right handler as a batting champion? Pitcher Urban shocksr of the St. Louis Browns seems to think so. Ills views bear out Johnson's theory only with the reverse English.
 'The lively ball has done away with much of the strategy at the plste," says the Browns star. "A ma Jority of the batters are up there swinging. The player who tries 10 bunt drag. or place his hit, Is the ex- ception.
 The rabbit ball also has taken some of the premium off speed. In general 1t has worked to the ad- vaptage of the right handler more than the left handler.
 "Hornsby and Heilmann are great batsmen. Neither is a speed merchant The base hits they make are seldom ot the scratch variety. They are real champions"

CITY WILL TRY
TO GET ARTESIAN
WATER SUPPLY

The village board have decided
that they will do everything in their
power to obtain a good permanent
water supply for Mountain Home,
and accordingly have re-advertised
for bids for the purpose of drilling
deep well.
Many are of the opinion that an
abundant supply of artesian water
is obtainable in this section, pro-
yided the well is driven deep enough
to strike the flow, and this opinion
is bolstered up by opinions of geo
logists, who claim that the entire
Snake river valley is in the belt.
At any rate the effort will be
made in the near future.

ENJOYABLE MEETING
OF THE GRANGE

Mariposa Grange met in regular
session Monday evening, July 21, at
the l. o. o. F. hall, with a good
crowd in attendance.
The business. session was followed
by very fine patriotic program con-
sisting of readings, songs and music.
The patomime-"The Star Span
gled Banner" acted by four young
girls robed in white with red sashes
and blue decorations, is especially
worthy of mention; also the violin
solo by Miss Harriet James, which
called for an encore, which was
graciously given. This program
was the work of Miss Charlotte
James, the lecturer.
Miss James resignation as wor-
thy lecturer was accepted, as she is
soon going away, and Sister Edgar
was duly elected to serve in that
capacity for the remainder of the
year.
Refreshments of ice cream and
cake were served by Sisters Wheeler,
Orton and James.

SKIN GRAFT FOR
INJURED WOMAN
Operation at Boise Hospital Mon
day Believed to Have Hastened
Recovery

The latest word as to the eondi-
tion of Mrs. Guy Heath, whose scalp
was torn from her head Wednesday
of last week while she was operat-
ing a cream separator, was that the
patient was getting along nicely and
that she would recover providing no
complications set in
Monday of this week skin was
taken from Mrs. Heath's right leg
and grated on the nose and fore
head, and it rs believed that the oper-
alton was successful and her re-
coyery will be hastened thereby.
DR.. Falk, the physician who has
Mrs. Heath's case in charge, stated
Monday that skin would be grated
on the scalp at later date.

DEMENTED MAN
CAUSES TROUBLE
Attempts to Break in House of Tom
zachary-Held in Jail Until
Arrival of Relatives

Tom Zachary, residing south of
Mountain Home, was considerably
upset Saturday night of last week,
when he was aroused by the sound
of someone trying to break in
through the screen Of his back door.
He met the intruder, however, and
laid him out with well directed
blow.
Sheriff Stevens was summoned to
the scene and found that Mr.. Zach
ary's prisoner was an old man of
over 20 years of age. He was taken
to the county jail, where papers
were Round on his person showing
his home to be Wayne, Neb. The
sheriff's office at once communicated
with that town by telegraph, and it.
was learned that the. mans name
was ]. S. Welch. His children tele-
graphed for the officers to take
good care of Daddy" and that some
of the relatives would leave at once
Tor Mountain Home.
Mr.. Welch left Wayne last week
for Portlend, but must have left the
train either at Glenns Ferry or
Mountain Home. Evidently he had
been side tracked by autoists near
the Boneeher ranch and had started
to spend the night in the open.
When found at the Zachary place
he was without a coat, but the sher-
iff's force found the garment the
next day, with the mans ticket to
Portland in one of the pockets.
After resting up at the jail few
days Mr. Welch's mental condition
was greatly improved. 1t is be-
lieyed that the high altitude, cou-
pied with his advanced age, was too
much for him, and that as soon as
he has been given care his malady
will entirely disappear.
Relatives of the man arrived
Tuesday, and Mr.. welch was taken
TO Portland.

ANTICIPATE
SETTLEMENT WITH
BOND COMPANIES

County Commissioners Frank E.
Vilson and Jen Whitson went to
}oise wednesday on business in con-
iection with the liability of the
,onding companies in the shortage
n the Office Of the county treasurer.
While in Boise the commissioners
etained Attorney Ben oppenheim to
ook after the interests of the coun-
y in the matter.
1t is said that the National Sure
y company, through Ensign 6 En-
ign of Boise, have been willing at
III times to make good the $1,000
hortage existing in the tax collec-
ION department, but the commits
sioners have been unable to accept
the settlement as long as there Is a
difference between the bonding COM
panies. According to the audit of
Byron Defenbaugh the Fidelity is
responsible for about $4,000, that
being the discrepancy in the treas
urer's office.
1t is quite likely that Attorney
oppenheim will be able to settle this
question out Of court to the satisfae-
tion of all concerned, but if this
is not made the case will
be tried at the october term of court.

WEATHER SUMMARY

Southwest Idaho: From h {
physical standpoint it was delight
full week. Temperatures were mod
crate throughout the week. Sun
shine was abundant. Light showers
fell around the outskirts of the dis
trict, but for the most part the
drought continued unbroken. Con-
ditions were generally favorable for
the satisfactory progress of crops in
the irrigated districts. Corn, pota-
toes, beans, and sugar beets are re-
ported advancing very rapidly, al
though beans have been damaged by
blight and beets by the fly in some
portions of the Twin Falls district.
Harvesting of second cutting alfalfa
is we'll under way and weather con-
ditions being ideal for the work the
crop is being secured in prime con-
dition. Grain harvest is making
good progress and threshing has be-
gun in the earlier sections. Apples
and prunes in commercial orchards
are doing well, but growers are un-
easy because of the shortage of ir-
rigation water, many bitches being
now dry or very low. Pastures are
short and range feed, while still suf-
fcient is not abundant. Much live
stock is being shipped because Of
the threatened scarcity and conse-
quent high price of feed.

RABBITS POISONED
BY THOUSANDS

Wsrd from the Indian Cove re-

Government has been putting out
poison for the myriads of Jack rab-
bits which have fiocked there for
feed and water. One report states
that the first days toll totalled over
seven thousand of the pests.
Grasshoppers are also making life
miserable for the ranchers of the
Snake river valley. Bill Seward adj
vised Bill Evans to take his turkeys
down there, and this was done, 500
OF the birds being moved. AS grass

COSTLY FOREST FIRES REVISE
PUBLIC SENTIMENT

Boise, Idaho. The terribly cost
ly forest fires in this state have
resulted in widespread demand for
more protective legislation, accord
ing to letters received in the capital
city from all over the state.
Without having any exact figures,
showing the loss, 1t is known to be
enormous, and public sentiment ap-
parently had undergone marked
revision and will favor legislative
action for more energetic co-opera-
tion with fire prevention assoeia-
tions. In fact. judging from gener-
al expressions, there win be a gem
uine demand for it.

MINERAL STRIKE
EXCITES PEOPLE
Little Valley the Mecca for Gold and
Platinum Hunters. r. Prem
tice the Finder

Citizens of Mountain Home anC
vicinity were considerably excited
Sunday and Monday when it became
noised about that J. r. Prentice
operating a water drilling machine
on the James Alberts quarter sec
tion in Little Valley, had struck
something good in the way of pla-
tinum and gold.
Immediately the rush was on.
Scores of men hastily secured min
ing location notices, posts for stakes,
and hastily departed for the new
Colconda, where they proceeded to
stake out claims all over the valley
. for a distance of over four miles.
In company with Charles Fara-
day and Gus Walberg, the Republi-
can man went over to the new scene
of activity Tuesday morning. We
found Mr. Prentice and his driller
hard at work, the tools being down
about 280 feet at the time.
Mr.. Prentice was nothing loath
to give us all the information he
had on tap. He showed us metal
in pans which he had washed from
the bucket after bailing out the
we'll. Some of the pieces of white
metal were of good size, and Mr..
Prentice stated that no kind of
acids had the least effect on them.
y He informed us that the best pros
pect came from depth of forty
feet, with another good showing at
ITO feet, but that he would go on
through the lava until bedrock was
reached. He was positive that the
sheet vein containing platinum was
Of a great area, and he and his as
sociafes have backed their judg-
ment by locating number of claims
in the immediate vicinity
The well which MIR Prentice is
drilling struck fine flow of artesian
water, which is running over the top
freely.
y There is one thing certain. Mr..
Prentice has great faith is his find,
and fully expects that the prospect
will prove one of the greatest min
ing properties in the West in short
time. He informed us that just as
soon as bedrock was reached on the
present location the tools would be
> moved considerable distance to
the south and a new we'll drilled.
The group of men interested wish to
prove beyond a doubt the metal in
there in big quantities.
Many Mountain Home people have
put up stakes all over the section
where Mr. Prentice has his well,
some of them going UP the gulches
running into Jack creek.
If this mining property turns out
to be half as good as the locators
believe it will prove to be, it will
cause prosperity to camp in all of
southwestern Idaho.

TAX OFF LONG DISTANCE; MORE
LONG DISTANCE TALK

Boise, Idaho. With the war tax
1ff long distance telephone rates.
reports show there is an increase in
ong distance telephone calls to equal
il not exceed the difference. The
1917 tax that went to the govern
ment is now going into needed per-
sonal, business and social converse
tions over the long distance wires.
Moreover, ii is said, people who
ised the long distance little or none
since the tax has been on are now
utilizing it. One critic says II goes
o show that we begrudge payment
u nothing so much as taxes, even
.hough small. -
