THE WORLD CHAMPIONS

Are you interested in the world
series baseball games and their
champion players? If so, you prob
ably admire most of all the superb
self control which these men show.
For out of all the magnificent ball
players considered fast enough for
the major leagues, the majority could
not probably go through such a
strain without cracking.
To feel that all the honors and
money that go with this final trophy
depend on your ability to hit one
swift and curving pitched ball in
pinch, or your ability to field siz-
zling grounder as it zips out through
the diamond, well that tests whether
man is the boss of his nerves. The
average player goes up in the air
But the world series winner says,
81 am going to get that ball if die
for it, and he gets it.
But in such moments of strain, the
majority are over anxious. They try
too hard. Their effort is so intense
that their nervous force collapses. 1t
is as in grinding knife. If you
grind too fine, you get a feather edge |
which quickly breaks down.
1t takes certain underlying
philosophy to play through such
pinches. The winning player must
put all he has into it, but there
must be the Feeling back of it that
he is not going to weep and lament
if he and his team fail
People who do not often witness
such game are amazed by the high
degree of skill. The battedi ball may
be so quick that the spectator can
not follow it. But that hawk eyed
player has it, as it bangs its way
across the diamond, and like a streak
of lightning it reaches the baseman. r
1t is an exhibition of superb mus
cular coordination. Not a lost mo-
tion, not a fraction of second vast
ed. The bodies of these players seem
to flow together in rhythmical effort,
to produce the highest possible effect
of speed and accuracy. American j
sport lovers take off their hats to
the superb young giants who achieve {
this athletic triumph.

MILLION DOLLAR CAMPAIGN

A good sign of economic progress
was given a few. days ago. when IL
was announced that the Sherwin-
Company, paint manufacturers
would spend $1,OOO,OOO in advertis-
ing, placing the same in 2641 news
papers. The company announced
that orders from important indus
tries are giving signs of decided
pickup in business,
Now if we could have several hun
dred leading firms in various lines
devoting similar sums to advertis-
ing, it would be a tremendous force
to shoe Old Man Depression off into
the bushes where he belongs and
bury him forever. And the gains at
tanned would not be merely the re-
suit of persuasive talk. They would
come from a plan which would give
new values to the people.
AS respects this paint-up cam
paign, the coming three months will
be a wonderful time for it. Paints
are cheaper than for years, painters
will work cheaper. People who have
their buildings painted this fall will
save a lot of money, and put their
property in shape for long time.
So it is in a hundred other lines.
The people can buy what they need
for very low prices at this time. If
they delay buying, they will be sure
to pay more.
But the only way to get that fact
over to the people, to make them
realize it, is to start a
big campaign of advertising. The
truth should be dinned into the
ears of the people, that money spent |
now for substantial goods and serv-
ices that are going to be wanted, is
money saved. If you can get house
painted for 500 today which would
cost you $3.50 in year or two, you
lave saved $50. 1t is the same in
,uying factory supplies and equip
nent, home conveniences, clothing,
arm tools, etc. But to wake people
lp to that fact, a nation wide cam.
,aign of advertising by many firms
S called for.
The local business in every town
5 a powerful force if they only go
fter business by local advertising.

TREES HAVE SYSTEM"
FOR SCATTERING SEED

Trees are far from haphazard in
reseeding forest land, says the For
est Service, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. AS rule
seeds liberated from a tree at the
same instant are scattered in a
straight line to leeward of the trees.
If all seeds produced by a tree
were to be released at one time this
would result in an undesirable con-
centratiOn of seeds in limited area
and a total lack of seeds in other
areas. Nature has guarded against
any such wasteful process. A pine
cone, for example. opens one scale
at time. AS the scale opens the
two seeds which were borne under
it drop out.
Ordinarily several days eIapse be-
tween the escape of the first and
last seeds from any one cone. Fur
thermore the cones on different
parts of the same tree do not all
open at the same time. One tree may
be casting seed for several weeks.
Variations in direction and velocity
of the wind during this period re-
suit in widespread scattering of the
seeds.
Under certain unusual conditions
tree seeds may be carried for many
miles. Possibly this may not occur
with one seed in million, but the
fact is of great interest in explain !
ing the occurrence of scattered |
specimens far from seed trees.

SOME STATES TOO AMBITIOUS
WITH LOCAL ROAD AID
By E. E. Duffy

States so far which have assum-
ed the task of building and main
tanning local county roads, in ad.
dition to state highways, have found
the result to be against the great
est common good.
Pennsylvania and North Carolina
have taken over county roads. Penn
sylvania's road funds were not in
creased while those of North Caro-
lima were enlarged but not suffi-
ciently to properly meet the new
/ burden.
Pennsylvania took over 10000
miles of local roads which added to
the state highway mileage of 1852,
gives Pennsylvania 33,562 miles. of
state roads. North Carolina increas-
ed her state road mileage to $4,000
miles by taking over $4,000 miles of
county roads.
With the state responsible for To-
cal roads, the natural desire to give
better roads to al 1.-The counties has
led to the construction of inferior
road surfaces. These surfaces are
marked with high maintenance
costs and road authorities concur
in the opinion that these accumulat-
ing costs soon will be overwhelm-
ing.
Thomas H. Macdonald, Chief of
the u. S. Bureau of Public Roads,
who, because of his ability and po-
sition, is the worlds leading road
builder, outlines the principles of
road building as follows:
d First, the States, without excep-
tiOn, which have placed the admin
istration of the income from the
gaX taxes and the motor vehicle
registration fees wholly under the
control of the State highway depart
ments, are in the best condition
financially to carry forward their
State road programs, and to extend
assistance beyond the roads includ-
ed within the State systems.
Second, the States that, while
not retaining within the State high
way departments direct expenditure
of all the income from these taxes.
have provided a general control of
the expenditures of the part of the
income allOcated to other govern |
mental divisions, are without excep-
lion able to meet their obligation |
for State roads and through this
1efnite direction are obtaining the |
of State and local road |
"And third, the States which have
divided between the States and
other agencies without State con-
rol a material part of the income
rom these funds are almost with
'ut exception facing serious finan-
'ial difficulties both on the part of
he State and the localities, to main
ain existing roads and to go for
ward with even a largely reduced
rogram."

WATCHING THE SCORE BOARD

During world series week, the Of
flee boy or store clerk is traditional
ly supposed to have errands which
take him down street, where he ac-
cidentally of course passes some
baseball bulletin, or listens to some
radio broadcast on the game. The
boss considers that the prolonged
absences have mitigating circum-
stances, and he inquiries anxiously,
Whats the scorer
Perhaps the interest in base ball is
not quite so intense as formerly.
Other interests, football, motoring,
golf, compete, and have dulled the
concentration of the American male
mind on baseball. But it is still our
national game, the sport which most
sways the masses, The winners of
the world series can be considered
the kings of the athletic world.

JOB SHARING PLANS

One plan for relieving unemploy-
ment, is called job sharing, or stag
gering work. For instance, if con-
Germ normally employing 1000 peo-
pie, has been employing only 500, the
whole 1000 under this plan would be
taken back into the shops, which
should then run half time. The plan,
whatever objections to it exist, would
at least give everybody some in
come.
But naturally the 500 workers re-
duced from whole time to half time
by such a scheme, with correspond
ing reduction in earnings, are not en-
thusiastic about it. Yet it has been
successfully applied in many indus
tries. Many people who have lost
personally by sharing their jobs with
idle workers, have cheerfully made
the best of it, for which they are en-
titled to the warmest praise.
Such a plan might cause loss to
many companies, which would feel
that a concern that reduces its
forces, keeping its most capable |
workers, and runs full time, oper- |
ates more economically than one
with full force on half time.
But the benefits of the plan are
also obvious. An enormous amount
of suffering is saved if everybody is
given some work Many families now
receiving regular aid, would be on
their own if such plans had been
universally adopted. Many others
whose earnings have been cut down
by this arrangement, have had to
make drastic economies, which is
deeply to be regretted. But if the
plan has helped end the depression,
it will work out for the good of all.
Such a plan at least would cut
down the calls for aid from public
and private charity, and thus would
help keep taxes down. High taxes
are one reason why the industries
run badly, why the farmers are hard
up, and why the country's financial
soundness has been shaken. It is
time when all must be prepared to .
sacrifice for the public good.

Lost 20 Lbs. OF Fat
In Just 4 Weeks

Mrs. Mae West of st. Louis, Mo-.
writes: I'm only 2S yrs. old and
weighed 40 TBS. until taking one
box of your Kruschen Salts just 4
weeks ago. 1 now weigh $50 lbs. l
also have more energy and further
more I've never had a hungry mo-
ment."
Fat folks should take one half
teaspoonful of Kruschen Salts in a
glass of hot water in the morning
before breakfast-it's TIE SAFE,
harmless way to reduce as tens of
thousands of men and women know.
For your health's sake ask for and
get Kruschen at Pettyjohn's Phar-
macy or any drug store--the cost
for a bottle that lasts 4 weeks is
but a trifle and if after the first
bottle yo uare not joyfully satisfied
with results-money back. 4

A TRIBUTE TO WESLEY
COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE

It's the dear old school of Wesley
that I'm thinking of today,
Where many happy hours I've spent
at work as well as play.
There was something in the spirit
of our Alma Mater dear
That brought us all together as
commencement day drew near.
I've been in some exalted schools
that hold their standards high,
But none could seem more dear to
me than good old w. C. 1.
Perhaps it is because of early
friendships there l made,
When on the tennis courts and lawn
we all so gaily played;
Or else, the reason of it is the
mem'ry of girl.
Who, seated in the class-rOOms, us
ed to keep my head a-whirl.
And who, tho now we're married
and classroom dayc are DER,
Still keeps my head a-whirling, but
l love her more and more.
I'm certain that it is because of
knowledge there I gained,
For lessons hard l had to learn, no
matter how it pained.
And now as days go passing by it's
clear enough to see
That Wesley's work and discipline
have been a help to me;
For, after all, it's not the man who
lives on easy street,
Who when he gets out in the world !
will find his life complete.
There's just a bit of sadness in ev-
cry bit of joy,
And be the cup of pleasure full still |
something will annoy.
However hard the thought may be
they tell me it is true
That there'll be no instruction in
this school the whole year
through.
But there will come another year
when times will better be,
And Wesley may be open in Nine
teen Thirty Three.
So let's not say the school is clos
ed to ever so remain,
For when the sky looks brighter it
may open once again.
Then if you have some boys and
girls for whom you want the
best,
lust see that they matricuate at
Wesley with the rest. .
Iou see I have a son myself, and l !
should like to see
lin graduate from Wesley in the
class of Forty Three.

A NEW TRADE IMPETUS

The fall of the year is time when
business always feels a new energy
The sale of the farmers crop sets
free new wealth. Up to that date,
the farmers have been spending
money and not taking it in. When
paid for their summers work, that
money goes promptly into circula-
ton. 1t is like putting the new
blood of health into an anaemic per-
son.
That money goes to pay loans, to
buy clothing, shoes, automobiles, and
what not. If the United States fails
to show distinct trade impetus
within three months from this
source, 1882 will be different from
all previous years.

= You will recall what someone has
said in regard to the value of all
three features of training, reading.
| writing and speaking, Reading
makes the full man, writing the ex-
act man, speaking the ready man."
| A very small percentage of our
young people, and those of more
mature age, ever have an Opportun-
ity of seeing in print anything they
might write. Our schools are giving
more attention than ever to this
matter of children writing letters,
compositions and essays, and the
teachers examine and check these
and make suggestions to the writer's
as to corrections and improvements.
However, it is a rare opportunity
when such efforts can be published
in a paper or school magazine so
that they may be seen in cold print.
This latter feature should be an in
centive to make greater effort to at
tain excellence in this work.
A few years after | left school |
had an opportunity to visit New York
City, and as part of the sight see
ing, I went into a large newspaper
building in the lower part of the
city, and going up into one of the
rooms in the tower, l found it was
room occupied by reporters, but al
most deserted at the hour of my
visit.
I saw on the wall a large placard
bearing the following legend:

accuracy, with terseness a close
second. A great newspaper thought
this very important. 1 do not know
where the lesson could be learned
more thoroughly than in newspaper
work. However, it is valuable in ev-
cry walk in life.
My suggestion is to continue the
school page, and have no doubt you
will secure the cooperation of every
teacher in the school as well as of
the parents, encouraging the stu
tents to take advantage of this great
