PI R A I { s.
NEED CAME
By Les Conklin

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The Pirates
can clinch the National League
pennant by beating the Reds today.
But, judging from their weak show
ing against the Cincy outfit yester-
day, they may not sew up the
bunting until tomorrow, the last
day of the season. IL the leaders
lose both today and tomorrow, and
the Cardinals win their two games
with the Cubs, a tie and the neces-
sity of a pIay-off will result. st.
Louis now trails Pittsburgh by two
games.
The Giants lost their last chance
to tie Pittsburgh when they were
plastered by Brooklyn. 10 to 5. The
Robins went crazy and staged two
big rallies. one netting four runs
and the other six. Henry, Barnes,
and F'itzsimmons were kayoed. The
Giants touched Dazzy Vance for
only six hits, but profited by
Brooklyn boots afield.

The Big Five

King of Swat his ponderous war
club. The Babe rubbed Eddie's
hump for luck and stepped to the
plate.
Zachary refused to give him
. good bali, working the cor
ners dexterously, first on the
outside, then on the inside.
Old Toms knuckler soon had
the fans crazy. They wanted
speed and the sixtieth homer.
They got the homer, but not
the speed.

Led by the mighty Babe Ruth,
the Yankees are battering down all
while the Pirates, their
prospective series opponents, are in
the throes of a batting slump. Ruth
broke his alI-time mark of So
homers yesterday when he wal
loped No. so, and may swell the
total in New Yorks last game to-
day. He also got two singles, pass
ing Ty Cobb in the batting aver.
ages and joining the first five hit
ters with a mark of .S5S. The
score of the ball game was Ruth,
4, Washington. 2, and marked the
Yanks' Tooth victory.
The Pirates made only six hits
off Red Lucas, OF the Reds. and
lost to 1. Aldridge and MiIius
were Outpitched. CritX's hitting
and fielding styn1ied the Bucs.
The Reds are proving to be a
stumbling block for both Pittsburgh
and st. Louis. They jolted the
Cardinals on Thursday.

Thus ended the gallant stand
Of the Giants. The New Workers
had won something like AZ
games out Of 56 and had nearly
overcome an eight-game lead.
The Giants have q chance for
second money. however, as they
are only one game behind the

FARM RELIEF

Tn the long haul farm relief possibly Will come
from what few years ago would have been consld-
cred an unexpected source. The coming Congress
NAV nass farm relief bill and the president may
sign it, thus giving agriculture the federal aid so
long sought However, there has been announcer leo
era factor at work since 1914 when the Smlth-Lever
act went through. from which we are just now be-
ginning to obtain results.
In fact the Smith-Lever act made possible de
nonstration of the Bible truism, little child shall
lead them.' The Smth-Lever act gave power to
the Department of agriculture to put into effect ex
tension work in agriculture and home economics on
farms by cooperating with State Agriculture colleges
In other words-it made possible our boy and
girl farm clubs This year there 51O,555 young
neople enrolled in federally controlled farm club
work 1t is needless to state here how those club
members function. We all know of the pig, COW,
poultry, garden forestry, cooking sanitation and
health club members and their activities We all
1now that our boys and girls can enter this club
work and competition only under the direction OF
trained local federal agents We know that they are
taught to do al things agrculturally by newest and
lost scientific methods
Age limitations for farm club entry is 10 to Is
years Therefore, every year now new class is
graduating into active scientific work and the
standard of our agriculture effort becomes higher
and higher, Within the lapse Of 10 years our
agricultural leaders will mostly be graduates Of this
intensive vocational training system. They will
have Learned by doing" They will know how to
figure costs Agriculture will be business basis
and making money. AS it should have been through
all the years.

Dr.. Leonard Williams of New York Those tables
tell you that of certain height weighs norm
ally LAT pounds at twenty five, and at fifty, 1862

should always weigh less at fifty than at twenty-five
If he does not he will Gle sooner than he might die
One pound or two pounds added to the weight OF
horse"s back will make him lose race Imagine
The handicap put old heart, old lungs and old
kidneys, by adding twenty or twenty-five pounds Of
fat at fifty. DR.. Williams says find out what your
.'o-called normal weight is then reduce twenty
Founds below it. Weight is fat dsplacing muscle,

SOME HAD TURKEY;

How dear to my heart are the
beans of my childhood,
When present day memories pre-

The small beans, the brown beans,
the dear little round beans,
And every old bean which we all
love to chew.
The above refrain, sung to the
tune of The Old Oaken Bucket,
floated out of the dining room
where the local Kiwanis club was
enjoying it's weekly luncheon,
Tuesday, and inquiry developed
the fact that the club members
were celebrating the ending of an
attendance contest, the losing side
under the leadership of Fred Nor

WHO'D A THUNK 1T
Rattlers and Radios in the Hills
this Weather!


this Weather!
v. w. Bird and Ray Boldt, our
most pronounced radio fans, had
an experience recently that goes to
prove the old saying, Emusic hath
charms to soothe the savage beast"
the beast in this case being a rat
tlsnake. They have been trying
various locations with the radio
and this time were in the Horse
Heaven hills and attached the aer-
ial to an old well derrick. The mu-
sic was coming over exceptionally
clear and the men and their wives
were sitting by the bonfire listen
ing when snake glided out of
the darkness, and, paying no at
tention to the humans, made
straight for the radio. He seemed
entranced, but not so the audience.
The ladies ran for the car and Mr..
Bird grabbed the shovel and killed
the rattler. He says that snake
surely had an ear for wusic but
he didn't know how long it would
last and was taking no chances.
The piece that brought the snake
out was a hymn, being played on
a pipe organ.
