"Fl*Mln| PrMfhw” Sees Tra/flc \ Downfall IJke Ancient Rome. - Pawtucket. R. I—The sporting craze is America’s greatest sin. ac cording to Rev. Arthur J. Watson of Ft. Luke's Episcopal church, known Internationally as the "fighting man of the cloth.’’ And he predicts for Alfierica a tragic downfall similar to that of ancient Rome—unless a huge relig ious revival occurs. The sporting craze in this country is the indirect cause of most of our ! financial crimes, and we squander more money on baseball, horse rac ing and prize fighting and theatres than on flood and famine sufferers, Rev. Watson declared. Built Novel Church Rev. Watson became famous « when through his own efforts, he sescured subscriptions totalling $100,000 and built a novel church which became famous in this city and elsewhere because of its orlgt nal appurtenances new to structuies of worship. In the basement of the church are bowling alleys, spaces for» amateur boxing tilts, a real stage with foot lights for theatricals, storehouse, closets for bats, balls and other u’.h letic paraphernalia—all for the use of members. The minister himself frequently Joins to many of the athletic activi ties and often times emerges as vic tor of a tennis or golf match or a boxing match. He also enjoys a cigar or clgaret when in the mood. To Build Character "As lonfc as it builds character athletics is desirable," Rev. Watson continued, "but most of America's - - ■“*— - | sporting craze Is the indirect cause |of mast of our financial crimes. "The Israelites worshipped a calf !of gold. The Americans bow down before a calf of flesh. The boxing ! glove may yet be woven into our | flag. We squander more money on baseball, hcrse racing, prize fights and theatres than we do on flood and iamine sufferers and commun ' fty chests. "The major part of our sports to tally unfits those who take part in them for the active work of life. The sporting tendency is. indeed, our na tional sin, the chief cause of finan cial crime."

I Ocala, Fla., Oct. 26.—Mistaking : his seven-year-old son Billy for a burglar, W. W. Walters shot and kill ed him at his McIntosh home, near here, early Wednesday. Walters told investigating officers that he was awakened about 2 o'clock by someone fumbling at the door of his sleeping room. The noise stopped, he said, to be resumed in ; a few minutes. Mr. Walters said he got his pistol and fired at the doorway, aiming low. With the turning cn of the lights the boy, unconscious was discovered, a bullet wound in his head. He died three hours later. A coroner's jury exonerated the father S^n Jones Die* In Rutherford County Rutherford County News. This community was saddened Monday morning to learn of the death of Mr. Ben E.

Professor Rosa thought that live stock men and farmers should take a long-time view and organize for beef cattle production. “Tlie re sults front beef production may be better expressed by a study of the indirect income and the increase in returns from the farms ns a whole,” lie said. “On a farm In Uedwood county, where cattle feed- ! bag is a reguhfr part of the farm business, tlie return from the farm business was $1,380 more than It - would have been lmd the product all been sold in the form of crops. , On an Illinois farm, where records were kept for seven years, It was found that the cattle feeding enter prise Increased the farm Income $•">08 yearly over what it would have been bad no cattle been fed. In addition, more than $300 was added to the farm in the value of the fertilizer returned to the land. “It Is these factors that measure the help that beef cattle are to Minnesota farms. There is too much cheap land and cheap forage In Minnesota to lay aside the beef industry. Organization for cheap production and permanent good tfe turns from Minnesota farms, rntber than high immediate profits, should be the goal of Minnesota cattle feeders.” Breeder Must Consider Both Sires and Dame Breeding operations which do not give full consideration of the Influence of both the sire and dam will likely fall short of the owner’s expectations, according to experi ments that have been run at a good many experiment stations. Under average conditions the darn has as much Influence on the offspring as the sire. Therefore it Is unwise to attempt to build up a high produc ing herd on a foundation of poor producing c<pws. The use of untried sires Is also • practice that often brings disap pointing results. Very often ani mals do not) reproduce as well as they appear as Individuals. The more efficient the herd of cows, the greater the need of using a tried sire. Mfffiy good prepotent dairy bulls go to market when they should be kept in the community. The interchange of proved sires is good business for the dairymen who can put it into practice. Pigs Require Water as Well as Feed to Gain Water is ns essential as feed, and perhaps more essential, in the pro duction of hogs on a successful scale, says E. F. Ferrin, wlio is in charge of the swine section of the animal husbandry division, Tjfnl verslt.v farm, St. Paul, Minn. A regular supply of fresh clean water is a necessary part of the care to which hogs are entitled; They should have plenty of water to drink three times a day. Two waterings on n hot day are not enough, even though some swine growers follow that practice. The use of automatic devices which furnish water when and where the hogs need It Is a satisfactory plan, says Mr. Ferrin, but the pigs will do just as well when watered by hand tprovlded the supply is ade quate. Usually the most practical condition is to have running water in the pasture. Live Stock Squibs Not ail balanced rations wiU field equal protits. • • • Dehorned entile are more quiet and cause less disturbance In the feedlot. • •> Build a creep where feed ean be kept for the pigs, hut which can not bo reached by the sow. • • • A mixture of oats and field pea* makes a good short-season hog pasture. Both furnish early pas ture. • • • Vaccination of young plga against cholera is cheap insurance. It should be done about two weeka after they are weaned. * * • There will he room for all the hogs that are likely to he produced in 1927, and at good prices ns com pared with cash grain. * • • It 1* impossible to predict how many pigs will be produced next fall, but a substantial increase at compared with last fall is looked for. • • • Salt, around limestone and bone meal, equal parts, proved practi cally the best mineral supplement for bogs In recent experiments hi Iowa. • * • If there are no treos In the ho* lot, a shade cun be built by setting smue posts In the ground and pat ting on A roof of boards or other material. ' • • • / Ear corn and prairie bay do not protide a satisfactory ration Air horses and mules during the 'work season. The ration Is considerably improved by feeding part alfalfa or clover hay. Good quality clean hay that Is relatively free from dost should be used. Glfl Plnchot blames Secretary Mellon for the failure of prohibi tion.

Washington.—The papers here note that five and a half years ago Isaac Gans, local business man, for mer president of the chamber of commerce and now member of the school board, told a yuong Wash ington newspaper man, who had been ordered to an Asheville sana torium, that he’d drop him a line every day till he came back and tell him all the news from home.” . Gans thought the young news paperman, John L. Martin, of the Star, would be back in a few months. Martin is still in the sana torium, and Gans has written him every day since 1921—Saturday, Sunday, and every other day. ‘ I'll keep on writing," he says, ‘ as long as both of us are living.” Martin, who was reporter for the Star before his health gave way, had a birthday last week. Gans saw to it that he was showered with let ters from dignitaries all over the . country. Calvin Coolidge was one of j thpm. Walter. Johnson was another j Postmaster General New and Gov- j ernor Ritchie, of Maryland, were others. ' Gans dictates this daily letter when he's at his office. If he's away from home he writes by hand, but also has his secretary write briefly of local news. On Sunday he writes by hand, and on Satur day he sends the daily letter by special delivery, so It will get to the sanatorium on Sunday. He never writes anything about any person who is ill or has died, nor does he every write anything unpleasant or unkind about any one. Martin, who has spent the five years In bed, has recently been re sponsible for saving the life of an obscure negro man, who had been sentenced to death for a crime of which he was not guilty. The former reporter, from his sick bed. directed an Investigation which brought out such indisputable evi dence of the man's Innocence that he has been pardoned by the North Carolina pardon commissioner. Gans, who has written Martin more than 2,000 times and has done many other kindnesses for him since he has been in the sana torium, says he’d miss the daily letter to Asheville. “It's the most natural thing in the world,’ he «avs, “to dictate that letter firs’ thing every morning.” Farmers Continue Study Of Almanac j This is the season when thou sands of farmers still turn to al manacs to study the signs. In a city sign means often only an eye-torture fastened upon the outer part cf a building. On the ; Pennsylvania German farm a sign is next to Ten Commandments, a thing strictly to be obeyed. That big wind a week ago was merely discomfort in cities and sea sickness on the ocean. But to hun dreds in remoter parts of Pennsyl vania it was the “sign” of a big fruit crop next summer. Yes. winds which rub the limbs of j treer against each other are sup posed to make them more fruitful. But if there be no strong winds then go out to the orchard before sunrise on the morning of March 25 and shake the trees. A big crop of apples will be your reward. If shaking does no good, hang a small dead lamb to a limb of a tree and that will produce good results. Absurd? No more so than the city lie's superstitution about Friday or thirteen. And what city gambler iikes a two-dollar bill? Where Is the poker player who doesn't squirm if some one puts a foot upon the rung of his chair? Everybody, it seems, is obeying signs and omens, so you need not waste your laughter upon the Ger man farmer who will only cut down trees when the moon is wan ing and never when it waxeth .Mg. A fruit tree to bear banner crops must, by the same token, be planted when the baby moon is growing I larger.—Philadelphia Inquirer. Bill Thompson is reaching out for the presidential nomination on the grounds that he is for America first, farm relief, waterways and flood control. Nobody can beat that unless he adds the Ten Command ments and the multiplication table. —Chicago Tribune.

REVIVAL OF FAITH NEED OF COUNTRY Houston, Texas—A national need for a general revival of tolerance—” A belief in something beyond our selves and faith in the destiny of life”—was sounded by President Melvin A. Traylor, of Chicago, at the general convention of American bankers here. He cited America’s position to become' the custodians of the world's credit supply, referred to j foreign investments as becoming a concern of every man, banker and investor, and expressed no alarm over taxation. His advice to what the country most needed individually and ss a people, then was described as “fresh baptism of faith and toler ance for the views and acts of others." With tolerance and faith, he said, “it will not matter what our lives are, for we can live them finely.” Mi-.
