SARASOTA, Fla, April 2 U.N.S).
Ballyhooed as penna1t contenderS
in 1896, only to wind up in sixth
place, the Boston Red Sox APP
parently are doomed to spend
another season in the American
League second division.
The team seemingly has every
thing 1t needs, except the urge to
hustle and a desire among the
players to get along with each
other, and, in some cases, with
Manager Joe Cronin, and the re.
suit is expected to be the same.
Senators Fortified
They may climb as high as fifth,
but can hardly expect to find room
in the first division with the Yam
KEGS, Tigers, Indians and Senators
all fortified for battle. The White
Sox also may figure in it, in which
case the million-dollar Red SoX
again will be left down in the COM
pany Of the Shabby Browns and
Athletics.
Addition of three or four new.
corners is not expected to offset
the wrangling-the anchor that
will keep the sox deep in the
standings.
The thing starts in the pitching
staff, which again will be topped
-. by Lefty Grove, who won II games
in comeback last season, but
remained sour as ever, and Yves
ley Terrell, who scored 20 victories,
but finally was fined and sus-
pended for repeated displays Of
temperament.
Johnny Marcum, who had a sore
arm in 1885, apparently is back
in shape to take regular turn on
the hill, and Fred Ostermueller is
depended on as the fourth starter.
Jim Henry, George Walberg and
Jack Wilson, among others, will
be around again. Best looking
rockies are Hap McKain, the Min
neapolis southpaw, and Dick Mid
kiff, Giant Highlander from
Texas.
In addition to Rick Terrell and
Moe Berg, catcherS will include
Gene DeSautels and John Peacock,
the former from San Diego and
the latter from Nashville. Both
are hustlers and hit we'll in the
minors.
At the. m m mt the infield
shapes UP with Jimmy Foxx, who
tel off in his playing last season,
at first base; Manager Cronin or
Bobby Doerr, the 19-year-old Coast
League sensation, at second; Eric
McNair at short and Pinky Hig.
gins, obtained from the Athletics,
at third.
Depends on DOerr
While Higgins figures to be an
Improvement over Werber, Doerr
may be the actual makings of the
infield. He has just about clinched
second base for himself in COM
petition with his manager, and, if
Cronin is to play at all, it may be
at shortstop. McNair has been in
a slump.
Roger Cramer, who hit .292 for
the Sox last season, figures to hold
his outfield berth, but Melo AL.

from last season and .253 hitter,
may be crowded out.

RhododendrOn

The rhododendron is the state
flower Of Washington. also of West
Virginia. The plant is grown over a
wide range, on the Pacific Coast and
along the Atlantic seaboard, as well
as in gardens in the central states.
1t occurs naturally in the South Cen
trail states, east of the Mississippi
river. The real home of the rhodo-
dendron, however, is the Orient, the
greatest number of species and
forms being found in China. Wild
rhododendrons present a colorfuI
display of white, pink or rose-pur-
pie blossoms, but could be brought
to a larger stage and better per-
fection with cultivation. Some vari-
cites which have been hybridized
are much more elegant than those
growing in the wild state.

When Martin Luther wrote his
famous ninety-fve theses and tack
ed them upon the door of his
Church, he stated in his sixty-sec-
ond thesis: ''The true and precious
treasure of the Church is the Holy
Gospel of the glory and grace of
God"
The Bible is indeed a treasure
that is not only recious in itself
but it also enriches every one who
possesses it.
No man who possesses a Bible
can truly call himself poor man.
A poor man is one who is devoid
of wealth. Any man who possess
es a Bible is not such a man be-
cause he has in his hands one of
the greatest treasures in the world
the Word of God to man!
The Bible is the most astounding
book ever written. 1t even speaks
to a man without being opened.
Let him do no more but glance at
the cover and it will speak to his
soul
No man can read its pages with
out becoming a better man for so
doing Not only will he become a
better man, but he will become a
richer man. He viii be richer in
thought, in vision, in heart.
In that Bible are truths, pre-
cepts, principles, which, when ap-
piled to the problems of life, al
ways result in betterment of
ones condition. His health will
improve. He will increase the
Of his friends. Even his
financial situation will become bet
ter.
The Bible Is the key book to sue
oessful happy living.

70 STEERS DEAD
In BARN FIRE
Loss to b. x. MOxley, Owner,
May Reach More Than
$4,000
CAUSE UNDETERMINED

Fire Wednesday night of last
week destroyed large barn on the
farm of B. x. Moxley, two miles
north of West Grove, Pa, above
Wilmington, and burned 20 mar
ketable steers and threatened num-
erous homes in Chatham, one mile
away, when sparks famed by a
strong wind landed on and set fire
to several roofs in that town. The
loss was estimated by West Grove
firemen to be $4,000. In addition
to the steers large quantity of
hay anG farming implements were
destroyed. The cause of the fire
has not been determined. Due to
a strong wind the fire spread rap
Idly and for time it was feared
that some homes in Chatham
would be destroyed. West Grove
hremen hurried to the town and
stood watch for several hours, ex-
tlnguishing several minor blazes.
The barn, with silo attached, was
Ia flames when the West Grove
company arrived. Unable to res
cue the livestock and hampered by
lack Of water, the firemen concen-
trated on saving nearby buildings.
Although there was a tenant house
q short distance from the barn, it
dld not catch fire, the wind carry
ing the sparks in another direction.
Several Of the steers succeeded in
escaping but they were shot i'm
mediately, due to severe burns. TIE
nre, one Of the most spectacular in
that section in years, attracted a
large number of spectators.

MAKING HENS
PRODUCE MORE
Hens Like Factories, Need
Additional Fuel To
Speed Up
HOW TT IS DONE

Hens, like any factories. neec
additional fuel to speed up pro.
duction." This statement is at.
tributed to F. H. Lesuchner, Ex.
tension poultryman at the Univer,
sity of Delaware, who said 'Since
hens are egg factories in miniature
they need additional feed to keer
up the production Of eggs and to
keep themselves going through the
winter months" Leuschner said
that the body weight of laying
birds must be maintained if fowls
are to produce at top speed when
the body weight Of the layers holds
up and production increases within
safe limits" he said, then the
poultryman knows he has the stu
alton well under control. How
ever" he pointed out, when the
body weight decreases and produc-
tion keeps up, then is the time to
look for trouble. Production then
is being accomplished at a terrific
expense to the birds and unless the
body weight can be regained, at
least partial or complete molt will
result if ultimate destruction of the
birds is prevented"
LeuSchner suggested that poul-
trymen mark a number of birds in
each pen and weigh the mat least
once a week in order to make sure
the flock is holding up under the
strain. He said that the birds
might also be checked by handling
a few of them after they were on
the roosts in the evenings.
AN accurate check of feed con-
at weekly intervals tells
the story of the effect of egg pro-
duction on the fowls body" he
pointed out. 'The careful poultry
man uses all the information avail
able concerning the behavior of his
birds in order to maintain the flow
IF eggs within safe limits, both
rom health standpoint and from
he economic angle"
Leuschner said that winter lay
ng focks must consume plenty of
Try mash daily during cold wealth

more are to be maintained. While
grain consumption is highly i'm
oortant for body maintenance, it is
