enough good pitching to be strong
contender.
Stanley Harris of the Washington
club was one of the few leaders /
talked with who didn't lean to that
belief. In discussing pennant pos
sibilities, he stressed the fact that
the Yankees would make trouble.
With the first few weeks of the
season out of the way. remarked to
Harris that he seemed to have the
right angle on the Yanks, when he
rated the club as trouble maker.
You can't pass over club that
can hit like the Yankees" replied
Harris. There is team that will
be tough to beat no matter what
kind of pitching it gets. Also those
who dope the Yanks weak in pitching
have another guess coming"
Harris figures he has the best
defensive club in the American
League, if not the majors. How
ever, your team must make a few
runs if you are going to win ball
games said Harris with smile.
Higgins Draws Big Surprise
Better pitching is the wall Of every
manager in the majors. Already lot
of the highly touted recruits have
failed to make the grade.
Every now and then a big league
pilot gets good pitching from some
rookie on whom he didn't seriously
consider. after all his highly touted
phenoms had "flivvcred."
Rival managers who labeled the
! Yankee pitching staff as just ordin-
AIRY, didn't figure on 30-year- old
rookie, Wiley Moore. Neither did
Manager Miller Higgins.
Yet before the 1927 season is over
Wiley Moore, late of Grcenvillc, S
c., is liable to be a much talked about
man in major league circles. HI
won 30 games and lost only four
down in the sally" League last year
which leads you to believe he has
something on the ball. He has.
The other day, dropped into q
game against the Athletics with the
score Go in the fifth, he blanked
Mack's team the rest Of the way, al.
lowing only one hit and winning
the contest, 1876.
Moore, breaking into the majors a,

Man Who Forged
State Warrant Is
Given Prison Term

Forgery in connection with a war
rant issued by State Auditor John
Steen has earned M. e. Houston Of
Hobart, Washington, aIfour-year-pris-
on term. according = information
received here.
The warrant was sdat to woman
neighbor of Houston'slwhoscs son was
killed in the war, and WAS in payment
Of q state soldiers bohus claim made
in her behalf.
The woman went I'd the postofficc
regularly to see II the warrant for
1926 had arrived, the auditors office
here was informed. Then she missed
day.
The next day the postmaster told
her that q letter addressed to her
had come but that it had been turned
over to Houston, her neighbor, to
deliver to her.
Investigation showed that Houston
had signed the wdman's name to
the warrant. and then had Endorsed
it himself, using part Of the money
to make payment On an automobile
and taking the rest in cash.
The auditors office now is aiding,
the woman in an attempt to collect
the money Of which she was defraud-
ed. The procedure, it was explained,
will be to collect from the bank
which last handled the warrant. &
will collect from the last previous
bank which handled it until the trail
leads back to the garageman who
cashed it. If he cannot find a way
to collect from the forger he vii
have to bear the loss, it was said.
The last previous case of forgery
in connection with state warrants
occurred when a MAJ stole pouch
Of mail containing q large number
of hail warrants. They had been
signed by the farmers to whom they
were payable and were being sent
by q country bank to q bank in Minot
for collection.
These checks were cashed at var
ious points in this and neighboring
states and the culprit finally was
traced to California where he was
arrested on the eve of his wedding
to girl to whom he had become
engaged.

less chance of the curtains being in
the way of the sash. Draw curtains
can be pulled back to the extreme
edge Of the window frame when the
easement is opened. If glass cur
tains must be used they should be
hung from the upper casing so that
they remain inside the room when the
easement is unfastened. Otherwise
they would soon be spoiled by rain
and outdoor air. Side draperies and
draw curtains should end on line
with the apron or sill.
If Easement Opens In.
If the easement opens in, glass cur
tains may be shirred on rods at the
top and bottom of the sash, or hung
with rings from the top of it, so that
they swing with the window. If
valance and side draperies are used
with the opening-in easement, the
valance must clear the top of the sash
as it swings in. On the whole, draw
curtains will be found best for case
ments. They are generally arranged
in clusters of plaits on rings to be
drawn back and forth on solid rod
by means of double cords passing over
small pulleys. The Illustration shows
easement curtains of plain colored
pongee for the living room.

Cutting Canada Thistle
bv Phases of the Moon

Cutting Canada thistle by phases of
the moon, signs of the zodiac, on GER
tain mysterious dates or according to
the appearance of sun spots, methods
all advocated by some farmers, will
not eradicate the pest, but belief in
these signs sometimes has the practi-
cal value of causing the thistle to be
cut before seeding, is the opinion of
A. A. Hansen of the Purdue extension
staff.
The most valuable sign by which to
cut the pestiferous thistle is found in
the Towering head. If the spiny null
sance is cut as soon as the heads be-
gin to show purple, the production of
seeds is usually prevented and the
plant will spread but slowly. The
principal means by which Canada
thistles spread is the wind-distributed
seeds which are frequently blown con-
siderable distances. A single seed may
thus start a new patch several hun
dred feet from the parent plant.

Origin of Word Chevon
Is Clearly Explained

An interesting interview was had
with B. M. Halbert of Sonora on the
word "chevon," and it's adoption as
a universal trade name for goat meat.
1t was through Mr.. Halbert's efforts
that the national contest was held and
prize of a registered Angora buck
was given for the most appropriate
name submitted. This contest was
held by the official organ of the as
ISOLATION, the Sheep and Goat Raisers'
Magazine, of San Angelo. Twenty
five hundred names were submitted,
and out of this number Mrs. e. w.
Hargraves, q ranchwOman, won with
the word cheyon. She created the
word from the two French words
"chevri," (goat) and "moutton"
(mutton.) This was in 1922 and all
the associations adopted this word as
the official name, but it was not recog-
nized by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture until September,
1924.

Necessity Arises Because
Large Consuming Centers
Are Widely Separated.

prepared by tho United states Department
Of Agriculture.l
Standard grades of poultry products
understood and applicable in all parts
of the country are needed in the
United States, asserted Rob X. Slo-
cum of the United States Department
of Agriculture, before the Worlds
Poultry congress at Ottawa, Canada.
This necessity arises because of i'm
portant areas of production and the
largest consuming centers are widely
separated. The United States De
partment of Agriculture has studied
this problem in its relation to eggs
and has promulgated set of stand
ards of quality applicable to individ-
ual eggs, the quality factors being the
condition of shell, yolk, germ and size
and condition of air cell.
Standards as Basis.
With these standards as basis, said
Mr.. Slocum, the department fOrmu-
lated three sets of egg grades: Buy
ing grades, wholesale grades, and re-
tail grades for use at country buying
points, in wholesale channels, and in
retail channels Of trade. A study of
standards and grades for live and
dressed poultry has been started with
view to issuing them in the near
future in tentative form.
For maintaining a standard uniform
quality in different markets and for
settling disputes concerning grades,
the department has established in
spection facilities, permissive, not
compulsory. These inspections are of
two kinds: Shipping point and ter
minal market inspection. When ship
ments are ready for movement, the
inspection enables the shipper to de-
scribe the quality to prospective pur-
chaSers. After arrival at the mar
ket, inspection is used to settle dis
putes to determine the grade and con-
dition of the commodity.
Live poultry inspections are being
supervised in one market, New York
city, with an annual requirement of
$4,000 cars, an approximate value of
$6O,OOO,OO0, practically all of which are
liz" ihSpSSlCu ny ouPSi NAooA ohu
IL licensed inspectors. Egg inspec-
tons are made in New York city, Chi
cago, Philadelphia, San Francisco and
Petaluma, Calf, and three points in
Missouri.
Three Distinct Arrangements.
There are three distinct arrange
ments under which inspection serv-
ices are operated: Straight federal
inspection, federal-state inspection,
and joint inspection. Under each ar
rangement, the appointment of super
visors and inspectors, and the kind of
certificate issued conform to conditions
of type of inspection.
Financing the inspection service
also conforms to the arrangement I'M
der which it is operated. In federal in
spection, fees collected are paid into
the United States treasury and are

Easement windows, either single or
in groups, are picturesque and appro-
pirate in both large and small houses.
If we'll made they are charming and
convenient, but they must be cur
tataed so as not to interfere with
their opening.
Curtain Material.
The material of which the case
ment curtains are made is the same
as that used for any other windows
in the room, unless some special eff
feet is desired. In a hall or alcove
a easement may sometimes be treated
as an entirely separate decorative
feature. If the living room has both
easements and double sash windows
the material chosen for curtains must
be adapted to both types of window,
and to the atmosphere of the living
room, whether formal and dignitied.
or informally gay and cheerful. The
bureau of home economics suggests
that plain fabrics, such as pOplin, pom
gee, habutai silk, rayon, silk and cot
ton mixtures, monks cloth, heavy
gauze, or easement cloth, are good.
Richly patterned cretonnes suit some
living rooms if the walls are plain.
If the easement opens out, there is

not available for further inspection
until reappropriated by congress. In
federal-state inspection the fees col
lected by the state are placed in a
revolving fund from which salaries of
inspectors and other expenses are paid.
In joint inspections, the fees collected
by the cooperating agency are used
for salaries of inspectors and other
expenses, including payment into the
United States treasury of an amount
equal to that expended by the depart
ment.
Less than three years ago egg in
spection was begun by the bureau of
agricultural economics and that of live
poultry only last November, yet in
December, 1926, 979 egg inspections,
involving over $1,000 cases of eggs
were made, while during the same
month LII cars of live poultry were
inspected and S,S14 baskets OF live
poultry received by express.
