dustry drive toward October and the
glory and riches of the world series
begin today when sixteen major
league clubs inaugurate the 1881
baseball season on eight different
fronts.
The 1881 campaign should pro-
vide the millions of fans with two
Of the hottest races seen in years.
No less than five National League
clubs-St. Louis, Chicago, New York,
Brooklyn and Pittsburgh-are of
championship caliber, while in the
American League three clubs
Philadelphia, Washington and New
York-appear strong enough to wage
a neck land meek battle to the finish.
Philadelphia's Athletics and the
ST. Louis Cardinals are the popular
favorites to retain their honors won

NATIONAL LEAGUE
Brooklyn at Boston.
Pittsburgh at Chicago.
st. Louis at Cincinnati.
New York at Philadelphia.
AMERICAN LEAGUE
Detroit at st. Louis.

monies which the national capital
alone can accord.
President and Mrs. Hoover will be
in attendance and the President will

When Alfonso married the
British Princess Ena, the royal
carriage was bombed.
The Spanish people liked him
for his keen interest in sports. He
was an accomplished polo player
until he had to give it up. He
likes to shoot pigeons, to sail, to
play tennis, to swim and golf.
IN recent years he has upheld

ceremony in the Spanish court.
One Of the most colorful rites,
inaugurated some 700 years ago,
was that of Gel Lavatoria," in
which the king each holy Thurs
day, washes and kisses the feet
of thirteen elderly beggars. The
queen performs the same rites on
thirteen poor women.
The king was frequent travel

ANY irritation of the skin In hot

Because of the effects Of various

Infants and small children must be

be taken to see to it that they are

Earns More Than Crops

Paul H. Kirk, federal agricultural
statistician for Minnesota, finds that
crop income is now tagging behind
cash return on animal products. His
figures comprise data supplied
throughout the ninth federal reserve
district.
In 1924 cash income from animal
products Jagged behind crop income.
Then the comparison read like this:
income from crops 1868 $50, 900, from
animal products, $513 ,442,O ZOO. In 1929
the picture had changed somewhat
and the score read, income from ami
NAL products, $685., ATS, 900 and from
crops 1888, $4,000.
These are concrete evidences that
the drive for greater Investigation
upon the farms Of the Northwest has
accomplished much. OF course the
great increase in revenue from ami
NAL products comes from dairying.

the bitterness Of youth and rejoices
In reveries Of the swimming hole, the
fish pond, the apple orchard and the
melon patch.
One writer has well said:
when men die they like to go back
home. It is noticeable that those who
have been born in small towns, no
matter to what eminence they may
have risen elsewhere, express a desire
to be buried where their childhood
days were spent"
There are sophisticates who turn
their backs upon their native heaths,
the Child Harolds who refer to their
homeland as "perfidious" Or spurn

down the long avenue Of adventure.
But there are few of that kind,
thank God! Most normal persons
bark back longingly to the things of
infancy and youth.
What worse sentence could there
be than that meted out to the chief
character in that dramatic study.

to bitter establishment and the soul

from the glitter and the glare of the

streets of the village, ending in the
