Rooster Leads Quail Flock

Martin L. Jackson, custodian of the
Montezuma Castle National monu-
ment In Arizona did not think a
young rooster he had purchased for
frying pan purposes quite plump
enough, so he decided to keep the
fowl while and fatten him up. The
rooster was at first received unfavor-
ably by other bird residents of the
Montezuma valley, but eventually the
gamble quail became friendly with
him, When 1t became evident that
a flock of 35 Of them had adopted
him as their leader Jackson could
not bring himself to carry out his
original intention so the rooster was
allowed to go free.

TODAY letter came to my desk that
L deeply impressed me. 1t was written
by woman - the mother in a typical
American family. Her little home had
been saved from foreclosure by coat of
new paint, for which part of their meager
savings had been paid.
Those few gallons of fresh paint had so
revived the appearance and enhanced the
value of the property that the mortgage
had consented to renew the loan ]. and
the little home was saved.

of neglected painting; of the millions of

obliged to sacrifice painting for taxes, in

You have seen these paint-starved houses

Never in the history of our country has
the situation been paralleled. Property
owners face an added burden of expense
amounting to millions of dollars for repairs

And the crisis, in my opinion, will be
reached this coming nferwhen paint of four,
five, and even six years exposure to the
weather will be unable to resist the elements
when badly weathered wood and metal
will be easy prey for rot, rust and decay.

WARNING
to PROP RTY OWNERS

paying many times the cost of paint to
repair the damage done by rot, rust and
decay this winter.
Even at the sacrifice of other things, have
your house or buildings completely
reprinted now. No investment you can
make will pay better dividends. And nothing
you can buy will make you and your family
feel SO uplifted and cheerful.
Hyou cannot arrange to do a complete repaint-
ing job now, at least give the badly yeathered
places coat or f1Uo of protecting paint.
Look especially, to the window stills, thresh-
Odds, outdoor porches and steps; the joints
of porch ratings and palings; the bases of
pillars; the edges of caves; the roof; the
cutters and down spouts. These are the vital
spots where water lodges where ice and
frost settle-Where rot and rust attack first.
A few dollars worth of good paint, applied
now, will protect these vital spots tide
you over this crucial winter. And it will
probably save you much greater expense
for repairs and requirements next spring
and summer.
Under existing conditions, you may be
tempted to buy cheap paint because of
its low price. hope you will not make
this costly mistake.
Even on sound lumber, inferior paint is
poor bargain. But on weathered wood,
which is very porous, such paint is worse
than useless. 1t gives you false feeling of
security and leaves you without protection.
Prices of well-known, established brands
of paint are now the lowest in fifteen years.
Enough good, dependable paint can be
purchased for few dollars to protect all the
badly weathered surfaces on your building.
Again repeat, do complete job this fall
if you can. But at least do the vital exposed
places before it is 200 late.

BY JOHN b. FOSTER.

n 1Ew YORK, October Ill
IN the Washington Senators
/ Y and Philadelphia Athletics
engage in another lively
struggle for second place in the
1888 American League race
assuming the champion New York
Yankees are able to maintain
their supremacy-it will present
the striking picture of the young
est manager in the big leagues
matching wits and skill against
the senior pilot of the majors.
The Senators new manager, Joe Cro-
min, 26 years old today, is young enough
to be the grandson Of Connie Mack,
famous leader of the Athletics, who will
be 10 years old on December %.
Cronin has become the real boy man
ager In major base ball-a promotion
that he will earnestly try to deserve.
IT was only a while ago that he re-
1 ported to Paso Robles in California,
where the Pittsburgh team was
| training. to join that club as a very
promising kid who had been under the
observation of Joe Devine, scout in
California for the Pirates. Devine's
great success in that State had been in
his keen perception Of the playing value
of boys. Coming base ball artists in
California are quite as plentiful as fu-
tu-e great tennis players, and Devine
has better than ordinary shrewdness in
appraising their future possibilities.
From the start Of his first appearance
with the Pittsburgh team Cronin was
unmistakably a good fielder, fully as
| good as some who had much more ex-
perience. His accuracy in throwing and
his ability to get over to second base
he plays shortstop- play the bag
quite as well as the second baseman
commended him to every observer who
saw him. He did not bat phenomenally,
yet could hardly have been expected to
do so, for he was only schoolboy then.
THE Pittsburgh club was acyised to
i keep him, and did so for a while
In 1927 he was sold to the Kansas
| City club, and Washington grabbed him
in 1928. 1t was Joe Engel then with
Washington, who recommended that he
be taken by the Senators.
| LUCK now ana tnen smiles upon all
base ball owners, and it was one Of the
most fortunate days in the experience
of Clark Griffith when he assigned Gro
min to play shortstop for his team Not
Immediately did the youngster display
all that was in him, but there came a
time when no one on the Washington
team could crowd him out of his posi-
ton. and little later this somewhat
diffident boy was voted the most valu-
able player to his team in the Ameri-
can League. His fielding was as sure
as that of any veteran in his league,
and he rated with the hard-hitting
players in both circuits.
He was wistful boy when he first
began to try for place in major league
base ball. He wanted to be on the field
daily, and his ambition was as big as
the blush on his cheeks when he was
complimented a little for something he
| had done we'll
Perhaps some of the base ball world
will be astonished when they see what
executive merit he has, for he has been
an observer and student as well as a
player.
