All in the world Babe ever did was knock 2ss balls
30 hard that he able to make 299 home runs.
For doing this the American public paid him hundreds
of thousands of dollars and expected him to live
life combining the best traits of President Coolidge
st. Francis Of Assist and the late Rev. Dwight L.
Moody.
When Mr. Ruth failed in this, because he simply
didn't have the mental equipment, he was cast into
outer darkness
The public, which honored him because of his ball
banging ability assumed for itself censorship Of his
morals. IL said: you must not only hit hOme-runs,
you must lead an impeccable private life WE'LL
1t ignored altogether the fact that while the Babe
had the Drawn to biff baseballs he didn't have the
brain TO conduct his private life as respected deacon
of the Methodist church.
II fine summer day that the big boy walked
up to the plate in Boston and banked out his first
homer against the New York Americans. Nobody
thought very much of it, least of all, Ruth.
In 1916 Babe made only three home runs; 1917
records gave him only two. In 1918 his total was IL
and folks began TO talk about him. 1t was about this
time that somebody told him he was a great ball
player.
In 1919 Babe turned in 20 homers and from telling
him he was great ball player, folks started to tell
him he a great man-whch he wasn't. And he
started to believe it,
Fifty-four runs came from Babes bat in 1921, and
kids started to look up to him as sort of hero. In
1922 the total 80 and in 1928 1t was AL. Babe
about convinced by this time that he WAS
great man. He drew bigger crowds than Edison, made
more money than Coolidge and was looked up to
oracle by folks than ever heard of Ralph Waldo
Emerson. Why shouldn't he think he was great
man?
The usual thing happened. 1t always does to all
great men,. You read stories about some of the
greatest men in history.
Few immune from the same sort of stories
that now enwrap the Begun of Bff.
The only difference is that they possessed what
Babe Ruth never had-brainS.
Don't let your Drawn outrun your brains. Many
young men do. The same thing always happens.

said Monday.
The pastures have been destroyed
by the dry weather and dairymen
have been feeding cows on winter
rations for the past two weeks
Paysee declared the present in
crease is partly attributed TO the
heavy losses sustained by producers
during the disastrous and prolonged
milk war last winter. They sus-
tanned deficits OF more than $500, 900,
he said, and the industry was demor-
allied.
The war" was started by the dis
tributors in an effort TO control the
market When local dalrymen re-
fused the terms Seattle distributors
shipped milk in from distant counties.
At the settlement OF the war II was
agreed city deliveries would pay
dairynen so cents more than the con-
densary price. AS a result the price
to the farmer has climbed steadily
from s1.s5 during the milk war. TO
! $3.50, the present quotation. Con-

The retail price has climbed from
