Hornsby and Frisch Com
plete Successful Sea-
son in St. Louis

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 5.-The hair
may be grazing on the heads of
frankie F'risch and Rogers Horns
by, but as the years pass they
seem to increase rather than di-
minish in Importance.
Perhaps the greatest second base
men in the history of the game,
they are, curiously enough, ending
their playing days in the same
ball yard.
Just now they have completed
another year, Hornsby, his goth
and Frisch his 10th in organized
baseball, and without question this
has been one of the most success
full years in their long careers.
Hornsby's st. LOUIS Browns were
knocking at first division door in
the American league all year, and
got well inside for a good part
of the early campaign, while Frisch
brought the Cardinals along thru
one misfortune after another and
ended the year with one of the
most gallant fights in the history
of modern baseball.
Frisch and Hornsby faced differ
ent problems and met them adj
mirably Hornsby had a make
shift outfit, crew of cast-offs
and nisfits.

Fire Prevention Week
Set For October 7th

President Roosevelt Tuesday des-
ignated the week beginning October
Z as Fire Prevention Week.
In a proclamation he said:
Disastrous fires destroy each
year property of many kinds to a
total greater than the whole value
of all property in the nation in the
days of our forefathers. This loss
seriously offsets our normal gain in
national assets.
''It is the simple obligation of eV-
cry citizen to realize, knowing this.
that a large proportion of these fires
can be prevented by the exercise of
proper care and by the use Of ap-
propriate fire prevention measures.
81 call special attention to the
fact that a very large
of fires in every part of
the nation is caused by acts of indi-
vidual carelessness and that mil
lions of dollars worth of property
could. be preserved each year by the
realization on the part of the indi-
vidual of his or her responsibility

Butcher The BOGrderS
And Pay The Producers
BY WALTER b. KRUECK
Formerly Professor Animal Hus-
bandry Puroue University

Dairymen are facing higher feed
costs this winter. Marginal cows
that have been showing a little pro-
fit can easily become "BOarders'
now. With feed costs increasing,
there will be a tendency to reduce
the allowance to individual cows.
AS a result of such a practice. the
profitable cows may be forced to re-
duce milk production to the extent
that they also are no longer making
money.
At no time in the last few years
have milk records been more valu-
able. If milk records on individual
cows have not been kept. this is a
good time to start. Many herds will
have cows freshening in the next
few months. AS a result the record
on a full years lactation can be OBJ
tanned. The small investment re-
quired in time and money will pay
dividends to the dairyman.
When the dairyman has a record
of what his cows are doing for him
he can make better analysis of his
business. The marginal cows and
"Boarders" should be eliminated to
reduce the feed cost. The good pro-
ducers should be fed according to
their production. 1t must be remem-
bered that good producers must be
good consumers. and that the dairy
COW can only produce efficiently
when she is fed accordingly.
With this purpose in mind. the
dairyman should not be deceived ,
the value of the fall
pastures. Most of the grass in the
next two months is likely to be
'washy" and will add a very little !
flesh to dairy cows. Supplementing f.
these pastures with a good dairy
ration will help to build the body
of the COW. and thereby
enable her to produce efficiently
Did saying "A stitch in time saves
when cold weather arrives. Like the
line"-a little feed now will save
much next winter.
